I tried a few impact shorts and these things blow them out of the water. Really it comes down to tailbone protection. These shorts have a tough tailbone pad that extends ABOVE the drawstring waistline, so it actually covers your tailbone. The other shorts I've tried only protect below the waist. The thighs are mesh and don't get hot. I'm taking off one star because the cloth under the drawstring is kind of rough against the skin. I'm a 30" waist and a small fit great.

My Montrails are size 10 so I went with the L/XL, but due to the tongueless design of the shoe, they're a little tight when I'm putting my foot in. These socks run a little large, so the heel gets pulled back when I'm putting my shoes. I can get it to fit with no wrinkles but I wish I had gone with the smaller size. Nice thin socks, great feel around the foot, love the asymmetric design.

It's a binding that goes up to 12. Yep. Fits over my 94mm waist Snoop Daddies with a few mm to spare, so I'd say the 100mm they claim is accurate before you'd have to start bending.

Like most other reviewers have said, this shirt runs a little large. Not in length, just in width. For us lanky dudes it's not a problem if the shirt is worn on its own, but I won't be trying to layer it under anything. The fabric is not as smooth a surface as my other tech tees... it reminds me of those disposable covers they put on airplane pillows. Wicks, breathes, and gets the job done though.

I had to buy a duplicate pair of Wilburs when my first started to get worn out after about two years. They have a suede-y kind of footbed at first, but after a couple months of wear you're left with a nice smooth footbed. The strap is set rather far inside the arch of your foot, so it provides a bit of arch support that is rare among flip flops. This is a classic design from Reef so there's no situtation where they look out of place. Get on it.

No complaints about these shoes. The mesh breathes really well and the tread is nice and deep for scrambling over unkempt trails. Virtually zero time to break in. I'm taking away a star because they seem too wide in the toe box than usual. Just look at the picture of the sole and it's pretty obvious.

UPDATE-- about 30 miles on these shoes and both soles started to majorly split off. Major win for backcountry's return policy!

This helmet doesn't really have any adjustments, and instead of vents that open/close it comes with some little foam sheets that you stick into the vents. Pretty sure I already lost mine. Anyway, it's good at keeping a stable temperature and blocking the wind. If it fits you right out of the box then it's great. Otherwise you'll have to return it.

This is a great boot for people with low-volume (narrow, skinny) feet like myself. It is rated at something like 100 flex but is actually pretty soft. The one complaint I have is that the shell can scratch the top and bottom of my foot getting in and out. It's a narrow boot so entry/exit is a bit of an ordeal.

I had high hopes for these shoes, needed something I could slip in and out of at work. Like another reviewer said, the back of the shoe is high and stiff, so it has been rubbing uncomfortably on my Achilles for the first week.

The weight and look are good, but my biggest complaint is that the footbed is basically a plastic foam, so if you try to wear them without socks it's sticky and your feet will start to sweat.

I've gone through quite a few pairs of Reefs, and the sizing and comfort is about the same in all of them. These are great too. Just don't be surprised that the canvas starts coming off of these once you've worn them for a few months. The black sole starts showing through. Gives them a nice worn-in look if that's what you're looking for.
