My favorite boot yet!

KEEN Pyrenees Hiking Boot - Women's

KEEN Pyrenees Hiking Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 July 12, 2011

No reviews?! I bought these back in the fall and hiked about 90 miles right out of the box in them over the course of a couple months along the AT in NE Pennsylvania (the rockiest section of the entire AT). I've never worn hiking boots before so I cinched them tight around my ankles to tackle the extremely rocky trails. Well little did I know that I had no need for this and bruised my ankles very badly. The boot material is very rugged and I had no idea this would happen so it's not entirely Keen's fault for this. I'll chalk it up to user error. That's the only reason I would give these 4 out of 5 stars. Other than that mishap, now keeping the top lace loops very loose, these boots are fantastic. They look completely beaten up but still perform perfectly. They're very comfortable and I can fit medium and thick socks on with no problems or hot spots.

Mountain Hardwear Viperine 2 Tent 2-Person 3-Season

Where the heck can I get a footprint for this tent?? It's not available anywhere! Are there any others I can use or is there a generic footprint that's compatible?

Rating for this product: 3 February 2, 2010

Thought the Large would be the right size for packing our camping gear but the bag came and it's definitely too small. Already ordered the XL and sent the L back. The product seems great - you can tell it's one heck of a durable and tough material. Can't wait to try it out!

Not the right fit for me

The North Face Hammerland Avalon Capri Pant - Women's

The North Face Hammerland Avalon Capri Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 2 January 25, 2010

These weren't comfortable for me because of the fit but the material also wasn't what I was looking for. I like to have a lot of mobility when I go hiking or walking around and these were not cut the right way for that. If anything, these are most applicable for casual wear than for active wear.

Can't layer w/out Merino

Backcountry.com Merino Zip Tee - Long-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 October 2, 2009

4 out of 5 because the fit was a little weird - tight on my midsection (which is my smallest body part) and loose in the arms. I wish it were cut a little bit longer in the torso. But aside from that, great lightweight base layer. I wore mine recently to hike Mt. Marcy in NY and it kept me very comfortable and completely dry even when I was sweating.

Awesome socks, can't beat the sale price either!

Backcountry.com Merino Hiking Sock - 3-Pack

Rating for this product: 5 October 2, 2009

I bought these on sale so it made it all the better. They're my first pair of hiking socks and the first time I wore them was a 15 mile/7.5 hour hike up Mt. Marcy (the tallest peak in NY). They were awesome and I am sooooo glad I used them. I think my feet would have been completely trashed had it not been for great, wool, hiking socks to go along with my hiking shoes. Not one blister, sore spot, or anything. I've attached a picture of a second pair I wore two days later hiking Mt. Mansfield in VT. This was on the summit!

Pearl Izumi Tokyo Tight - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 October 2, 2009

These puppies are super comfortable for running, walking, wearing around the house, to sleep in. Anything. I love that the zipper is up the back of the calf as opposed to the side. Even though the material is thin, I've found that they do a great job keeping my legs warm when it gets a bit cool out. Love 'em!

The foot bed runs a tiny bit on the narrow side and it takes a few wears to break in the braided strap. Otherwise they're cute and comfy!

Awesome shoe, just watch the tongue folds

KEEN Shellrock WP Day Hiking Shoe - Women's

KEEN Shellrock WP Day Hiking Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 June 12, 2009

These sneaks are fantastic - lightweight, comfy, plenty of support and cushion. The only thing to note, as others have, is that the tongue design could be better. Definitely wear them around a little bit before you need to go hiking. The tongue folds tend to hurt a little bit on the top of your feet. Otherwise awesome shoe!

Great shirt, short length

Arc'teryx Big A T-Shirt - Short Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 September 16, 2008

I really love this tshirt but the only thing for me was that it's cut pretty short. I'm an average size "small" and it comes to my belt if I'm wearing low cut jeans. So just be wary if you are seated and/or are bending over a lot! Aside from that, it's fine.

I got the natural color of these and I love them. They're super comfortable and the rubber sole they use makes you feel like you can walk all day in them. They have a nice little bounce to their step. I also love how they came with 2 different color laces!

Rating for this product: 5 September 16, 2008

I'm also the type that has a SUPER narrow and pretty small head/face. Nothing ever fits me and I generally buy kid's sunglasses. I have a pair of Oakley's Women's Radars and they restored my faith in a sunglass company. So when I saw these and that they were made for smaller faces, I was hooked because I've always wanted an aviator-style sunglass but they all look stupid on me. I ordered these and no lie, the first time I wore them after one of my bike races, I had 4 PEOPLE compliment how great they looked and how much they liked them and even all tried them on!

Love this vest!

Rating for this product: 5 September 16, 2008

It's a lot heavier weight than I expected but there's nothing wrong with that. I absolutely love the look, the fit, and the style of it. The hood is huuuuuge though.

The only thing to mention is that the bottom elastic around the waist for me is pretty snug and a lot tighter than jacket elastics usually are. But hey, that could just be the style. I don't know. So look out for that if you can. Otherwise, love love love it!

Rating for this product: 5 September 16, 2008

I just tried mine on and I love it! I wasn't sure what weight it would be and/or how scratchy the material would be but it's none of those things at all. It's lighter weight than I expected in that when you look at the picture it looks like it may weigh like 6 lbs. lol. But it doesn't at all. It's super comfy and you can move all around in it with ease. The cut and the fit on me was perfect. I can't wait to wear this!

Rating for this product: 5 September 16, 2008

I didn't know it would be as lightweight as it is but I don't mean that in a bad way at all. It has one of those UV 30SPF stickers on it so it's VERY lightweight. It's extremely comfortable and stretchy. The fit is comfortable and loose enough so that you feel like you can do anything in this. I love the fit and the style!!
