Town and Talus shoe!

Scarpa Expresso Approach Shoe - Men's

Scarpa Expresso Approach Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 9, 2008

When I buy shoes, I like to think multipurpose. I got these for kicking around town as well as rock-hopping over the chossy talus up here in AK. Really an excellent all-around shoe. Supportive with good underfoot protection for hiking and approaches, but flexible enough to walk around in all day. I don't like a big restricting hiking boot or shoe, so this suits me really well. Pretty glad it has no water-proofing too, I never understood the point of a low top gore-tex shoe. The sticky rubber soles are sweet on the rocks, but will mark any hard surface with black streaks. I guess they weren't designed for traipsing around campus...

Most versatile layer!

MontBell Ultralight Thermawrap Jacket - Men's

MontBell Ultralight Thermawrap Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 9, 2008

I work at a high-end gear shop in AK, so I see a lot of technologies come through, but this is one of the best layers I have encountered. I carried one of these on my 2 week backpacking adventure through the Brooks range, and used this thing constantly. We get really mixed weather in the Brooks in the summer, everything from snow flurries to 70's and still. This jacket lived in the top pocket of my pack. I put it on for wind, light precip, snow, and rest stops on chilly summits. I use it as a major part of my winter layering system too. Excellent ice climbing belay jacket, backcountry skiing layer, and all-around insulating layer. It doesn't weigh anything, packs into the top pocket of my pack, blocks the wind, holds the body heat right next to you, and dries in minutes. pure magic!

Oakley Eyepatch Sunglasses

December 7, 2008

Has anyone gotten lens scratches? I know Oakley is pretty proud of their "plutonite", but how much of that is hype?
