Sound is great, mic - not so much

Rating for this product: 2 January 22, 2012

The blue tooth connection to phone was a snap. No issues connecting. Sound from phone was fine. Plays music fine and answers calls and I can hear caller easily. The problem is the caller cannot here me well. The voice is garbled. Not sure if playing with the mic position in the earpieces will help or not. But so far, it seems to only be good for blue tooth connection to listen to music and having a conversation on the phone is useless.

Sweet trail shoe

Salomon XT Wings 2 Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Salomon XT Wings 2 Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 September 13, 2011

Salomon makes awesome trail shoes. These tend to run large, though. I bought a previous gortex pair in my normal size 8 street size and they are a bit big on my foot. No big deal since I wear heavy winter socks with them. Bought this newer pair for spring.summer, fall wear and sized down to 7.5. They fit perfectly. Very comfortable, love the quick lacing system, and offer great support for my feet. Highly recommend.

I wear a size 8 women's shoe and bought these in small/medium. They are a little long fitting on my foot, but comfortable enough. Seem like they will last a while. I wear them for biking and they dry quickly. Just wish they were a bit more form-fitting. More size options needed. Like a true small.

These are the lightest, most comfortable sunglasses I've ever worn. Half the time I forget I'm even wearing them. No pinching behind the ears. And I love Maui Jim lens quality -- resists scratching and crystal clear. I wear these around town, driving and mountain biking. Never disappointed with Maui Jims.

Maui Jim Hibiscus Sunglasses - Polarized

Rating for this product: 5 August 15, 2011

Maui Jim sunglasses are some of the best on the market. The lenses are top quality and offer completely clear visibility. The Hibiscus are a larger framed model. Nicely styled. Frames are highest quality, solid hinges and slight padded on the nose so they don't leave the funky red mark when you take them off.

Buy them! You won't be disappointed.

The North Face Go-Go Cargo Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 25, 2011

I love these pants. Got numerous compliments on the purple color this season. The cargo pocket is nice to stash your ski lock or other small items. They had a nice overall fit, not too tight, or too baggy. Very comfortable for skiing and riding (I do both). Waist band has velcro to be expandable or tighter. Helpful if you are layering for colder days. I skied these in minus 10 weather with an expedition weight layer underneath and was completely comfortable. And vents on the inner thighs helped keep me cool on the warmer spring days.

Rating for this product: 5 March 1, 2011

I love the Arcteryx brand and quality of their products. You pay a bit more for them, but it is totally worth the extra $$$'s. This jacket has nice styling and a good fit. The fleece does not pill or shed like cheaper brands. Seams are solid. And I love the selection of colors. Makes a great liner under your shell for cold ski days. Also great on it's own as a jacket or sweater for around town. I plan to buy more colors.

Cushe Boutique Sneak Leather Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 March 1, 2011

These are the type of shoes people will either like or hate. I personally like the funky style. The shoes were not quite as comfortable as I thought they might be. The leather felt a little stiff at first. Not uncomfortable by any means. Just not quite as "slipper-like" as some of the other shoes I wear. Still, I like the style and would buy them again.

Volkl Kiku Ski - Women's

Volkl Kiku Ski - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 20, 2010

These skis are absolutely FANTASTIC. I love them. The reverse camber really lives up to the hype. These babies float in powder and turn so easily in the crud, yet the rip on the groomers on the way back to the lift. As conditions vary through the day from smooth untracked to bumped up crud or skied off groomers, these skis just glide along. I was very worried such a fat ski would be difficult to turn and flop around on the groomers. But they carve like they are on rails. They take all the grunt work out of skiing deep powder. I get more laps in with out the worn out legs. Buy Them!!!!

Volkl Kiku Ski - Women's

December 20, 2010

At 6', 160 lbs, I'd probably go with the 178's. though it can't hurt to demo that length if you want to be sure about your purchase. I'm 5'9 150 and ski the 170's and find them to be perfect for me. A little extra length will help you float the Utah pow. These rockered skis tend to ski shorter than their non-rockered counterparts. So you can afford to go a bit longer and still feel comfortable at speed on the groomers as well as off-piste.

Rating for this product: 4 May 6, 2010

I haven't used these for hard-core trail running. But for the occasional lunch-time hike in the packed snow, they work great. The only "issue" is the snow will sometimes clump up in them and it feels like a giant lump under your foot until you clean them off. I have not tried them on hard core sidewalk ice yet, so I can't speak for their traction there.

Spyder Payback US Ski Team Fleece Turtle Neck - Long-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 March 7, 2010

The picture color looks white. But when I received the item, its a pastel green color. Almost white, but not quite. The sizing also runs small. I am normally a size 12 (5'8", 150 lbs). The sizing chart said I should order a Medium. I sized up to a Large. But I wish I had ordered an XL. The Large is very form-fitting. It fits, but only with a thin base layer underneath. No room for layering under it. The other issue is the black fleece "pills" and gets on the lighter green fleece. So I am constantly picking the little black lint balls off of it.

This coat runs a bit on the smaller side, so I'd suggest sizing up if you want to layer. I normally wear a 12 and bought this in an XL. The XL fits perfectly and allows me to layer a fleece and/or sweater underneath. Sleeves are nice and long, which is great for my long arms. Very light-weight jacket but blocks the wind nicely and has excellent waterproofing. Wore around town in a snowstorm recently. I haven't had a chance to run it through it's paces on the slopes yet, but will post additional info when I've had a chance to test it out.

Believe it or not, I bought these shoes for snowshoeing. They were recommended to me because they a Gore-Tex lined and would keep your feet dry while allowing more flexibility while snowshoeing compared to traditional winter boots. We haven't had enough snow to snowshoe yet this season, but I did wear them in colder weather and was quite happy that my feet stayed warm. I normally wear a size 8 and ordered these in an 8. They are a little large in width, but that's o.k. since I'll want to wear them with thick winter socks. For trail running with thinner socks, you might want to consider downsizing half a size. Especially if you have a smaller volume foot.

Rating for this product: 4 September 12, 2009

The Giro Omen is a nice helmet. I've skied in it a couple of seasons and it's pretty nice. Light weight, good ventilation. Chin strap is padded so that is comfortable. The plastic inner-frame is adjustable so you can get a decent fit. I have a hard time fitting helmets with my tiny pinhead, so I got this in a small. My only nit is if I tighten the inner frame a bit too much I get a headache, but it's easily loosened. I found the Giro G10 helmet to be a bit more comfortable.

Fit is true to size. Nice, feminine cut. And the design is pretty, but subtle. I'm normally a size 12 (5/8", 145 lbs)and the Large fits perfectly. Washes nicely. Soft fabric.

Great to track calories and heart rate

Rating for this product: 5 May 20, 2009

I use this every time I exercise. I can not say how accurate the calorie counter is, but it is a great way to measure and track improvement in your workouts by comparing your counts from one day to the next. You can easily track which exercises burn more calories per hour, which days you've worked out harder than others, etc. The heart rate tracking helps ensure you are in the right zone for your work out. Wearing the chest strap may take a little getting used to for some, but it is really not a big deal. And the chest strap will transmit your heart rate to many pieces of gym equipment that are equipped with heart rate sensors if you don't want to wear the watch for some reason. It will work in the pool if you swim laps.

When you are done your workout, upload it to the computer. You'll need a microphone on your computer because it uses a "fax machine" like sound signal to send the data. There is no cable that connects the watch to the computer.

Highgear Altis TI Altimeter Watch

Rating for this product: 3 May 20, 2009

Watch is well built. Large & very heavy on the wrist. You will know you are wearing it. It works well and as advertised. I only rated it 3 stars for 2 reasons:

1. It's not the most intuitive and user friendly watch. There are many features and functions and it takes a bit of time to learn how to work it. You pretty much have to read the manual. I had an Avocet altimeter watch previously that was MUCH easier to use. For the price I would expect a much simpler interface.
2. My jacket or glove continually bump the buttons and changed the watch settings while I am skiing. I've missed numerous runs because of this and didn't realize the watch had turned off the counter.

This watch has the advantage that you can replace the battery yourself. The Avocet required you to resend to the factory every time the battery died, which is why I bought this one to replace it.
