Rating for this product: 1 December 1, 2010

XL feels like a medium
Material feels cheap.
Poor craftsmanship -- puckers on seams.
Very thin, can't believe they would be warm below freezing.
Sending them back.

Looks top quality

686 Mannual Reaper Insulated Jacket - Men's

686 Mannual Reaper Insulated Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 12, 2010

I had snagged one of these off Whiskey Militia but unfortunately the XL was just a bit oversized for me (too long in sleeves, and about a three inch overlap at my chest. I'm not a small guy -- 6 foot 240, 46 inch chest.

I was VERY disappointed and almost kept it anyway because it is a VERY nice coat. Very well built. Nice zipper puls. Full pit zips, great adjustable hood. pass loops. Very nice detailing. Just outstanding. Looks like it would last forever. I just wish they had a large in the red (going back to red so people can see me in the woods).

I've spent a lot more than $118 for a coat that's not nearly this nice.

A bear to put on and take off the bars

Yakima FatCat 6

Yakima FatCat 6

Rating for this product: 2 June 3, 2009

I cannot believe that no-one has commented on how difficult these are to put on and take off of the bars compared to the old ski holders. Yes, they are quieter, and presumably will help mileage a bit when you are not carrying anything, but you might as well just buy another set of bars if you want to switch from skis to bikes. Otherwise, you'll be removing/loosening six screws with an allen wrench just to take these puppies off, all while the rack is flopping around the bar and whacking your car roof and/or wrists and arms. Gone are the days of two large wingnuts, zip zip, on and zip zip, off.

Worst ergonomics of any Yakima product I've ever owned. And I've owned Yakima racks for at least twenty years. I'll be looking at Thule or going back to me old ski jaws for my next rig.

Did you buys these new? If so, have you submitted a warranty claim? If you have, and Line has denied the claim for some bogus reason, check with your local court system for a small claims court and file a small claim against Line and the ski shop where you bought them. Ask for the price you paid for the skis (without the bindings) less what you could have rented skis for on the ten days that you skied them. So, $20 per day rental = $200 worth of use. So, if you paid $600, file a small claim suit for $400. The point is that these skis were obviously defective. Of course, if you got them used, you're probably out of luck.
