Rating for this product: 4 January 4, 2009

I was anticipating the waist band being a little different from the over reviews, and wasn't shocked at first, but after wearing them for awhile the waist started to bunch in weird spots. I got them for running/walking in the cold and for another layer under my snow pants and love them for that. They keep me warm and comfortable, I think I need to pull out my sewing machine and finish sewing the waist band.

Not good fit

Ground Repel Jacket - Women's

Ground Repel Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 December 9, 2008

I was excited for this jacket, but had to return it because it fit weird. Jacket has a flare at the hips which was more than I needed, and didn't have enough room in the chest for me. If you are chesty not the best fit. Also the pockets where in a weird position and the straps that sit in the pocket you can fold the coat into make unsightly bulges on your lower back.

I was a little skeptical because I don't tend to like nylon between my toes on flip flops but these ones are so comfy! I love the arch support and comfort of the soles. It's time to toss my other flip flops!

Patagonia Footwear Honeydew Shoe - Women's

Patagonia Footwear Honeydew Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 9, 2008

I wasn't quite sure about these when I got them, they seemed too long and narrow and tight on the top of my foot. I switched the elastic laces (it comes with a set of longer ones) and wore them a few times and now they are one of my favorite shoes! They fit great and the soles are so comfortable to walk in. I just ended up wearing them out in the snow (started snowing after I left the house) and while the outside of the shoe was soaked it kept my feet almost completely dry which was a pleasant surprise. A great shoe! I like them so much I just got my husband a pair.

I got the small to use as a purse because I always have extra stuff for school or for my kids I need to bring and I love the size. It has a great pocket on the side with multiple compartments and then a large one for everything else. I love using it on my bike and strongly recommend it!

The North Face Solaris 40 Pack - 2450cu in

Rating for this product: 5 December 8, 2008

I got this for school because I needed more room. I love how much it can hold and how comfortable it is when packed full and heavy. I wish the water bottle pockets on the side would have a bungee as my bottle has come out multiple times unless I put the compression strap around the top of the bottle. If that is too much of a pain I just slide it in the long pocket on the side. I love the hip belt and totally recommend this pack.

The first sandals that my husband loves. After a few months of wearing them he starts to complain about dry feet because these do such a good job of getting rid of feet sweet, but that's what lotion is for right? He really likes not having the toe strap.

Chaco ZX/2 Unaweep Sandal - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 December 6, 2008

This is my second pair and of this same style and I can't seem to get these straps to stop sliding. I either have to leave the strap very loose at the ankle or it cinches up on my toe. Also these are narrow, I like my other pair that is a size smaller in a wide. I'm hoping that with some more wear the strap will start to stay in place better.

Rating for this product: 5 December 6, 2008

I got these for running around the hospital and I love them. The first few weeks were tough (I didn't wear them all the time) as they rubbed on the top of my foot and I had to wear super thin socks but now they are one of my favorites. I just wish they were more comfortable when I bike to and from school/work so I would never have to take them off!

KEEN Newport H2 Sandal - Toddler DO NOT USE

Rating for this product: 5 December 6, 2008

I have these for all of my boys and I love them! They last the whole summer with throwing them in the wash every few weeks to get rid of the stink and they look brand new. One of my boys seemed to get blisters from every other pair of sandals but not these! Well worth the money. I personally order up at least half size, if not a full size at the beginning of the summer so they will last and haven't had any problems.

Rating for this product: 5 December 6, 2008

I absolutely love this jacket. It is cut larger in the chest, which is awesome for me because I'm nursing a baby and the sleeves are nice and long so it covers my wrist. It is pretty windproof and most days riding my bike to school it is warm enough. There is some piling under the arms which is a little annoying but overall a great jacket.

I have the small and can fit a 1-2 books for school and a water bottle pretty comfortably. While I don't have a XS I have seen them and from the look they wouldn't hold a book, mostly just a small purse so a wallet and some other small things.
