This is the second pair I have tried , first thing is they are the most comfortable googles, the foam is soft and con forms well.
They work great in the cold. seen these used on a Everest expedition so I tried them out and wow they are amazing , if your in the bitter cold you dont want to take of your googles and expose your fingers so these are perfect for that ! fan has a low and high speed! really sucks out the fog , lenses are super nice as well.

I wanted to get a very tuff water proof alpine gator after last year cutting my old shit Ems pair with my crampons on Mount Washington . I tried the Or expedition gator that is around the same price and has a shit load of great feedback, But truth be told they suck ! if anyone says they are easy to get on your a meathead who just likes giving false reviews! They are stiff and fit like crap!!! and come it 2 sizes to big! and are very loose and impossible to get a seal around the boot! These black diamonds kick ass! they fit perfect! miles ahead of OR shit boxes! trust me im very picky maybe to picky on how these fit, and that is over LA Sportiva Evo mountaineering boots! These are better made all they way material ease of use etc etc , they also look nicer! give these a shot they are the best in the class! I will use these this winter on a night climb on mw.

Got these for the extreme temps , but noticed the belt was a little to loose even on the med,
The material is warm but bunches up around the ankles and is very itchy! for a summit series I expected alot more , tried many bottoms around 50.00 that fit better and ARE just as warm. I don't think they are worth the extra bucks.

Got this about a week ago very light fits nice in pack .
head is tight perfect for a long slog like Rainer .

Well I have tried a few of these for the winter season coming up, It is a lightweight mask and it is does that
But my one big problem is it is on the small size I weigh only 165 lbs and my head is average size. If your a bigger guy with anything but a button nose this will not fit. The neck is way to short and will not cover your neck . The size would be good for a women but for a male this really needs to be retooled . I did return this for the smartwool and will review that as well.

Another nice piece for layering in the winter, I hate shirts that have a wide loose neck but this is very nice stays up well . Fits nice and snug you don't want a loose 1st layer if top is loose the heat will escape . Happy with purchase nice quality

These are the true champ Of high altitude mitts anything over 8000m and these are the best choice. If you get cold hands try these . They have the same insaltion on the back of the hand as well.

Well I did tons of research after going up Mw in a rental pair last April, that was a horror show . This year looking to get my own to use up this winter.
I decIded on the Sidelock version of these crampons. They really are super light very well constructed , I have not field tested them and I am very glad I tried them before going up a mountain in severe weather . In my home with tons of time and nice warm temps they are impossible to lock on the boots. The lock is made of very weak soft rubber! If you needed to get these on in cold temps you would loose your fingers . I have ordered the lever wire so I hope these work better. I do not think you will see the sidelock around very long. They are dangerous in extreme conditions and do not work a flash in the pan that could get a climber hurt.

By far it is the must have in any real mountaineers gear bag!
this guy never climbed mr or any other mountain because the jacket is the nicest in every way and I have tried them all!!
unless you want to go but mh hs they run 1,000.00 so buy it where it love go nuts!!!
I am 5'8 160 lbs and I got a large so it will fit over layers! it is loose but good loose!!!

I had a chance to try these out , I'm not a trail runner or runner but wanted
a cool pair of kicks to use around the gym and out, the fit strange and really are uncomfortable
maybe a runner would like these but not for me.

horrible fit cant recommend

GOT IT, PUT IT ON THING LOOKS SWEET WORKS LIKE SH** VERY UPSET GUESS WILL
HIRE SHERPA TO COUNT MY DISTANCE

Tired of football underwear get these and stay dry all day long!!!
they run small order sizes up form your tight whites

got these in for a second liner
they are very thin but not in a good way would not help
at all with heat loose fit also

hat fits nice and snug
very warm

I have several smart wool socks from the extra heavyweight
to the thin liners . This weight I use everyday for general use once you try these you wont
ever buy a standard sock. Can be wron a few times before you wash because of the anti bacterial wool
and dries on its own.

This is a best in class for the money
no other light is as bright in the this class or made with a 120 hr run
Hit at 40 lums the extra push is almost as bright as my surefire flash light
amazing very happy . perfect for hiking or mountaineering .

got this and was very uhappy light is like a childs flaslight
sucked with leds would not reco you cant see sh**

Well as you may know I had stated before I had seen this glove on the summit of mount everest
Then a few smucks came on here and put up false reports on how these are not!!! extreme gloves or made so and they suck .
I did go on hetra's website and research a bit and did find out they did use this EXACT glove, the ski heli on the show
Everest Beyond the LImit! This was the reason I gave these a field test I can tell you these are the warmest gloves on the market period!
So you you guys sitting on your seat eating chips actually go out in sub zzz and trek 10 miles then talk. Now Thats what I did. The gloves are so well made It really blew me away ! When researching the gloves I found that Hestra has a theory they trap a layer of warm air in the glove around the skin .
This is very tech stuff has to do with the materials they use and so on. These gloves smoke the black diamond guide gloves
I tested and almost got frostbite early this year. Hestra actually sells a mitt that goes over this glove if you needed extra protection this I guess traps more warm air in the glove!!! They run around 60.00, hestra also sells a couple of other liners A silk and waffle Both are around 20 bucks .
Give the site a peek it really blew me away how much research has gone into the hestra glove system.

These are a great sock for spring hikes or in your sneakers !
extra support in the ankle and toes , thin breath well last forever!

Perfect for tents in mild weather and great for around the pad in the winter
true to size!

This sounded crazy to the staff at BC but I got these
as liners for my OR Alti Mitts. When I use what I consider the warmest mitts made my hands tend to sweat alot
and that is a problem. I tried some smartwool liners but they just soak up the sweat and are not good when you take of the mitts
These are amazing they are very tight on your wrists very snug and warm ! and dont soak up the sweat and when your shell
comes off you done freeze. They run big so order size down.

Well I was looking for a good mid weight liner for my
outdoor research alti mitts and decided on these .
Very well made tight around the wrist which is good when used under my mitts.
cool looking also! but They don't soak up sweat like my other wool liner I used prior to these.
Keep heat in , order size down they run large.

I have these and the heavyweights and also the
extra heavyweights, being a person who gets cold toes and fingers
I like these up to around 45 40
You can add a liner if you wanted . They are very comfortable this is a great weight
for just everyday winter weather! Trust me once you go SmartWool of any weight you will never go back!!!

Seen many of these going to the summit of Everest
so I think that you can sue these and be happy you wont get cold!

I always get cold feet really no matter what I have on for socks
I use the smart wool extra heavy weights but I tend to sweat a little
and then I loose the heat, I added these liners they work good my feet dont sweat and it keeps the good heat inside.
They actually feel like dress socks

Well this is not so much a review but
a note to buyers, I have never worn these but I did see several and I mean over 2 dozen climbers on Mount Everest, yes that correct. with these gloves on, I don't know if it was this particular glove but it was the Hestra brand ! As I have a thing for gloves and always look at other climbers gloves to see what they have on. It was 40 below that morning . The glove does have a removable liner so it could have been this shell with a different liner.
Any how i'm asking around because many seem to put lots of trust in the companies gloves.

these are my nicest pants

Well after trying all the top gloves made And nearly getting frostbite
in the process , I purchased the alt mitts. They are they only gloves or mitts that allowed me to
Hike In temps 20 and under. If you take a large order a med they run very big. I also used these while mountaineering in ice and
never got cold . My hands unlike others are cold in temps 35 and under With very warm glove son. The inset really is like a large super soft pillow
What I found that makes them so much better is the insulation on the back of the hand, Almost all others are packed under the palm. My hands did sweat in them which can cause problem so I do reco liners to stop this also makes the mitt fit snug. I have done lots of research and this gloves has made it to the summit of everest many times over its been tested.

Well after getting my wife in on hiking I got her this .
she loves it what else can you say about this northface has made a name around this piece
Speaks for itself

As another test on these gloves that the staff at backcountry holds as the warmest glove around.
This is not true first I have done tons of research to find the warmest made, these are not close they are great done get mr wrong
I have cold fingers so keep that in mind as I want to be 100 pct fair. I used these this weekend when we had temps around zero maybe less.
I has a pair of smart wool liners under these as well , and if I had not been within a mile of my truck I would have gotten frost bite. I had to take my hands out several times during my test and get the blood moving in my tips it was not fun! After doing tons of research which I know most of the top tier guros don't they just leave tons of comments to climb the list! The Alti mitts made by Outdoor Research are the warmest made period. This information comes from many climbers who climbed Everest more then once. And are considered by almost every mountaineer as the only choice above 8000 meters. Funny backcountry still wont reorder these but keep pushing other less quality gloves that are in stock. Hope this long review helps others.

just got this in yesterday
It fits very well super soft
neck is tight breaths very well
must have

I got these really for the sale price
and they looked very cool.
Got them in and Tried them on . First off they run about a size larger.
These have the worst fit very cheaply made . They have zero support on the ankle!! They are thin!!! like a sneaker !!!
The boots are horrible I am sending mine back.
Really don't expect a fit like an asolo or montrails these boots are trash.
I went out today and spent 200 on a pair of asolo's worth every penny!!!

I added this to my winter
hiking collection its a great first layer, it is like super light
but keeps in the heat and you never sweat, be great if you have
a rug on your back. Also had this on in temps around 25.
its great if you hike fast and tend to sweat a little it drys as fast
as you can sweat! Get it

Well I just was lucky enough to get this puppy
on sale! I have to say This is the nicest shell I have ever used to date.
Talk about well made I would put this up against any of the over priced
Arc'teryx shells any day! I used this on a hike over my northface apex soft shell.
Temp was around 20-35 To make this short it does everything it says and them some.
100 pct water proof very strong and fits like a dream. You can tell this was made to last.
I wore this out and had tons of head turns. A winner in any circle.

Good for a light glove or liner, don't use as a primary cold weather glove

I love this little cap perfect for anything
will hold you up to say 15" anything colder look at other heaver stuff
Got a nice comment on this when picking up photos at walgreens.

For me you really have to deliver an amazing glove to
command a retail price of 160.00 especially in this economy
Your saying this is as good as the black diamond guides
Sorry marmot not even close way over priced .
Lacks in almost everything.

Well I have last years model of these
they don't look as cool but are made the same way.
I really loved these but! First time out this year just walking to my truck in the snow
and BONSAI!!! My feet got wet! yes with a pair of smart wool heavyweight socks on.
I did not get these from bc But ems and they are getting them back always keep
your paper work guys .

Well I wanted to include my wife in my love of hiking so I asked her to go shopping for some gear. my treat! We looked over all the boots and think she tried them all on :(
But we decided on these. last years models are red and really turn heads.
They are really a step above any other women's hikers out on the market.
Boots are very light and totally waterproof we tested them out. My wife's entire foot fell through some weak ice and not a drop got in.
Boots have amazing grip and support.
They really can go with jeans, cords what ever and make the outfit.
My wife also has foot problems but these really seem to keep that in check.
It is an investment at 180.00 but your feet are the most important thing don't skimp.
The boots are very well researched in construction.

What can I say most items I have purchased From MH have been
amazing this is no different i'm really becoming a cheerleader for MH!!

Simple it does what it says buy it.

This is my all around jacket ,
you can use it for a shell or on its own
or just hanging with your crew
its that cool!

These are not outdoor gloves by any means nor do I think that they are made for such things. These are like the coat Denali everyone has one but they are a joke for real hikers out doing, but great for every day stuff.

I put an order in for this because everyone said its the best!
It was a piece of junk the minute it came out of the box.
First off its very bulky and heavy also the lamp has one button that
has like five modes good right wrong! you have to access them with half touch then hold for like 5 seconds
and so on. It is near impossible to master or even get to each mode! Trust me if you have this on
in the dark you will cry! The lamp also broke when I tried to tighten the strap!
Went ahead and ordered the recharge but said to say never made it that far.
I would never feel good about someone having this on at night you may get injured .

Im very happy with these and I don"t like most
these fit nice and snug band is very tight and does not move at your waist or fall off.
Very warm tried them around 30" in an open field I was nice and warm.
The price is great
