Werner Sprite 2 Piece Paddle - Kids'

November 21, 2009

Check out Werner's fit guide:

http://www.wernerpaddles.com/fit_guide/index.php

It will ask you a few questions about your daughter's size and what type of paddling you will be doing, and her boat. Once you are done, it will recommend a paddle and paddle size. It only took me about a minute to go through all of the questions.

Icebreaker GT150 Dash Crewe - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 August 7, 2009

I really loved the IcebreakerGT / 150 SS Dash Crewe. I used it for kayaking, hiking, and riding my bike around town. The meshing on the waist of the shirt helped keep me cool even when it was 100 degrees outside! What I loved the most was that I didn’t start to feel sweaty or clammy while wearing it. Other synthetic shirts I have used have been uncomfortable to wear because they soak up sweat and it takes a while for it to evaporate. The Dashe crew did a much better job at allowing evaporation than my other synthetics. I also liked wearing it just to hang around the house or when I was out with friends because the fit is very comfortable.

I was pretty excited to find a headlamp with a solar charger, and had been considering getting it for a while. I finally bought this headlamp about a month ago and have been really have with it thus far. Light is pretty bright, and seems pretty sturdy.

For lea2967606's review, if you give the guys at Backcountry a call, they are generally happy to help you out with return shipping since you're headlamp was missing a piece.

Rating for this product: 5 May 18, 2009

I bought this shirt last week, and I have no regrets. The green color is really pretty, and it looks really good on. For icebreaker clothes, I have always had to size down to an extra small, so I wasn't sure how this would fit. I decided to stick with a small, and it fits perfect. Very comfortable, it is a little loose but not too much. I noticed that it was a little see-through, but it did not seem problematic.

Rating for this product: 5 May 1, 2009

i bought this shirt for wearing around and for hiking, and I have been really happy with it. The picture on the website represents the Jungle color well. I usually wear a small for tops, but Icebreaker always seems to fit large on me, so I decided to size down to an extra small. No regrets, it's fits pretty close, but is not too tight. It has been really comfortable for hiking too, i don't get too hot and haven't noticed any moisture from sweating at all. I would definitely recommend this top to any of my friends.

Rating for this product: 3 February 3, 2009

These would have been really cute, but they are way too long for me. I am about 5'2, and these fit more like high water pants on me. Other than the length, these seemed to fit very well, and were extremely comfortable. Also, the gravel color was OK, but after seeing it in person, I probably would have gone with black or the teal color.

I always get a little nervous about capri's. I am only 5'2, so most end up fitting more like high-waters on me. These fit great though, and are very flattering.

Rating for this product: 4 April 14, 2008

I loved these glasses, the detailing on the side is awesome, and they were very comfortable. I love the fact they did not touch my cheeks. They did squeeze a little bit behind my ears though. Unfortunately, I ended up returning them because they were just WAAAAY to huge on my face. I went with the Oakley Crosshair S instead, which I love! They fit my small face perfect.

I initially bought the Oakley Behave sunglasses. They were supercute, but just way too big for my face. I decided to try these out, and I couldn't be happier. Finally, a cute set of aviators that don't swamp me! I got the Berry color, and I am considering getting another pair in black. They fit my face just right, and don't squeeze my head anywhere.

Rating for this product: 5 April 10, 2008

When I bought this top, I was juggling between going for the small or the extra small ( I am about 5'2m 120 lbs). I tried on both, and they both fit well. The small was a little looser, but was also a little longer on me. I decided to go with the extra small, and I'm very happy with it! The larger one would probably be slightly better for backpacking since it was cut longer, but most of my hiking pants a cut higher anyway, and the extra small was a little more flattering

Great shoes, but. . .

Merrell Overdrive Gore-Tex XCR Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 March 24, 2008

At first I was a little unsure about the fit. I got a 7 since that's what I usually wear, and they seemed a little snug around the top of my foot in the toe box. After wearing them for a couple of weeks, though, they seem to fit pretty well. They look really good, too. The only real problem that I have noticed is that the laces on both shoes ended up breaking on me, so be careful about the way you pull on them when you try to tighten them.

Rating for this product: 4 March 17, 2008

I found these pants and fell in love! I always have a hard time finding pants because I am only 5'2 and have an inseam of about 29". I was a little worried that the short might be a little too short, but I'm glad I got them. The length is perfect! The only down side is that they grey color was not available in size 6, which might have have fit a little better. The size 4 restricts my movement a little bit, but overall, they're still great.

Rating for this product: 4 February 25, 2008

I bought this pack to go back and forth to my classes, and it works great! I love the fact that it has a strap at the chest and the hips to keep it from bouncing and keep the shoulder straps on my back. The bottle that is included is really awesome. The only thing I found disappointing was the design of the pack in accommodating the hands-free kit. Every time I want to take the bottle out of the pack to wash it, I inevitably get water all over the place.

Rating for this product: 4 February 22, 2008

I bought these to replace the cheap liners that came with my mittens, I am very happy with them! The fit isn't perfect; according to the sizing chart I am a small (~7" girth, ~6.5" length from tip of middle finger to top of wrist). There is a little empty space between my thumb and forefinger. But they fit well enough to keep my fingers warm, and they are very comfortable.

Ride Verona Snowboard - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 21, 2008

I got this board for Christmas, and I love it! It is super fast, stiff enough to be really responsive, but it is also super poppy! Definitely consider getting it detuned, cuz the edges are way sharp when you first get it. I've taken it out about 5 times now, and it seems to do great with jumps and powder riding. The slimewall really helps reduce the chatter when I'm riding through rough terrain. The graphics are sick too, I love the fact that you can see straight through to the wood core.

I got this jacket from a contest, otherwise, I never would have gotten the white color (dirty way too fast). I love it, it looks great! I love the magnetic closures on the front panel of the jacket, and the fur is sweet looking and super comfy. This jacket could be warmer, but it keeps me very warm with a fleece liner. Overall, its a great jacket.

Rating for this product: 5 January 21, 2008

My boyfriend and I call these the "girlfriend boots" cuz I am able to lace these up so much faster than the traditional lacing system. I could never get my old boots tight enough, so I spent ages trying to tie them. They keep my feet pretty warm too (I still like to use toe warmers on really cold days, so the Hot Pockets are awesome!). They fit great with my escapade bindings too!

This top fits really well! It's not too short, and its very supportive. It stretchy, so it moves well with you. I have a smaller chest, and most sport tops seem to run a little large on me. So when I ordered it, I wasn't sure if I should got with the small or the extra small. I ended up going with a small, and I'm happy I did.
