No Way These Are M/L

Costa Del Mar Rincon Polarized Sunglasses - Costa 580 Glass Lens

Costa Del Mar Rincon Polarized Sunglasses - Costa 580 Glass Lens

Rating for this product: 3 October 9, 2009

I got these glasses and have to agree with the other reviewer that they are small. I tried to put them on my medium to large size head (I fit that in other CDM or Oakley glasses) and I couldn't even get the glasses to the back of my head: they ended up about 1/2 inch away from my face. One of my assistants tried it on and it was a little big for her, but she usually wears kids' size glasses!! I would rate these maybe medium size for a female. The lenses are awesome and I'll be looking again at something else in the 580 range for sure.

Great Spring Biking Top

Backcountry.com Rime Pullover Jacket - Men's

Backcountry.com Rime Pullover Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 8, 2009

This is a must have top for spring biking. Going to work, it has been about -5C while coming home the temps are usually 12-18C. I generally cruise at about 25kph. Zipped up in the mornings with just a single Icebreaker 140 T underneath there are almost no problems with the cold or wind. Coming home, I usually have it unzipped by about half way home and it works out perfectly. The only slight problem I have is that for some reason, my wrists get cold in the wind. Not sure if the windproof material is absent there, but that's the only place where I can feel any wind. Love the carrot color: it's a great orange - not too bright, not too subtle.

More Itchy Than Hoped For

Ibex Zepher II Top - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Ibex Zepher II Top - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 December 9, 2008

Compared to similar Icebreaker tops this one scratches me the wrong way. The styling is very nice, but in order to wear it I would need to have some kind of undershirt. Not sure it is worth the money and it may be going back.

Great Shirt

Icebreaker Atlas Bodyfit 150 Top - Men's

Icebreaker Atlas Bodyfit 150 Top - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 9, 2008

Great shirt that does everything it is supposed to: no itch, no smell, no chafing. This is a slim fit shirt so be aware that if you have a bigger upper body you'll probably want to size up.

Great Shirt!!

Rating for this product: 5 November 18, 2008

Tried a seven day no wash right off the start. I rode to work 4 times in 30F weather and back home in 50F with just this shirt and Westcomb shell. Not too hot, not too cold but just right. After the full 7 days, still no stink. No itch either. I've washed it 3 times so far and it still looks good.

Not for Me

Rating for this product: 2 November 18, 2008

These are not for me. They are light, but are so light they feel cheap. The pair I received was pretty gross too. The lenses were dirty from sweat and or dirt and there was a long hair stuck between the right lens and frame. I cleaned it up before I sent the glasses back.

The wife was not impressed. First off M fits well on her 5'5" frame (normally size 6-8), but the shirt is too short. She was not impressed with the itchy feel either. She was expecting something similar to my Icebreaker shirts. This one is going back.

Not as Expected

Icebreaker Elite SuperfineGT 190 Shirt - Short Sleeve -  Men's

Icebreaker Elite SuperfineGT 190 Shirt - Short Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 November 17, 2008

This shirt isn't what I was expecting. First off minus one star for backcountry for not clearly stating this is a "slim-fit" shirt. I realize it says it in the description after re-reading it, but it is pretty subtle. I'd recommend they put it into the size/colour drop down selector. The slim fit XL works great for people with pencil arms (I gave this to my brother who doesn't work out), but the shirt is a bit tight for myself - I'm 5'8" 190lbs, but work out and have more of a football player build than triathlete build.

Minus another star for Icebreaker. GT and their eyelets are more accurately described as little holes in the back of the shirt. The fabric is quite beautiful on the front, but the back looks literally quite cheesy due to the GT holes.

Great Jacket!!

Mammut Motion Pro Shell Jacket - Men's

Mammut Motion Pro Shell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 November 17, 2008

This is an awesome jacket. Just about everything about this jacket is perfect. Taking it out of the wrap you can tell this thing is extremely well made. The only issue is the length of the sleeves. They are about 2 inches too long. I am keeping this jacket despite this because the rest of the jacket is superb.

Amazing Jacket

Columbia Faster & Lighter Shell Jacket - Men's

Columbia Faster & Lighter Shell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 17, 2008

This is going to be the perfect summer rain jacket. It is so light you don't even realize it is there. Breatheability is great, but haven't been able to try out the rainproof features just yet. Everybody I've showed this jacket to loves it. I just bought another 5 jackets for brothers and wife for Christmas - and no that's not a typo!!
