Why have a bag with too many pockets. Keep it simple with this one. Great price for what you get.

These shoes feel light and once broken in, they feel like slippers. Great traction on wet rocks too, something many shoes lack

This stuff is a godsend for shorter races, it's like a jumpstart for anything under 20 miles. Also good to use during ultramarathons during the race.

Kind of heavy for backpacking, but for car camping, good stuff. Plenty big enough for a hearty meal and stows well with one plate.

Nice light for the price. It won't light the roadway, but great for trail running on smoother trails, the batteries last plenty long enough for a full evening in the woods. Stays on the head nicely too, good purchase for 20 bucks!

Probably the tastiest "dried food" meal out there. I tested it at home, then bought two more for a 5 day excursion in the Wind River Range. Way more flavor than the old days! This one's a no-brainer

Super sturdy poles and easily adjustable make these the best on the market. They can easily be packed when not needed climbing uphill. Nice and light too!

This thing rips through the wasatch powder like a butterknife. Highly recommended, nice for all mountain riding, great price right now too!

Kind of a strange fit, with bell bottom like bottoms. Pocket are kind of wierd too

Kind of bulky, but ok for a smooth trail. A big toe box makes them comfortable even though the foot can slide around a little

Great for the fireroad with non-technical terrain, but not so good in the mud and rocky junk

Just another one of BC.com's fine hats, strong and doesn't fray in the stitching. Nice comfy fit assuming you head fits the hat!

These are OK for hiking but a friend while running or carrying some extra things in the pockets. They are too deep and bounce things around.

These things are sweet, they mold right to the foot amd don't jam in between the toes, not to mention they're styly

I used these all winter shoveling at Alta, Utah where it snowed a whopping 700" this year. They held up great and I plan on using them again next year. Warm, but not too warm for medium temp days.

This kit has everything necessary, except narcotics. Worth every penny!

These things fall apart too fast, the mesh deteriorates quickly. The knobbies fall off the bottom quickly too, making the sole not worthy of tough trails.

If you need to bring it all, this is the ticket. Convenient foldup style, and all the bells and whistles to keep the camp clean and efficient. A nice windscreen for tough weather.

This stove brings it all to the table, a solid windscreen for tailgating up in the mountains. The 3 burners give you a variety of ways to cook. It's a little small for 3 pans, but efficient cooking is important for camping anyway. A flick of the switch makes it easy. Very easy to clean too, important if you plan on using it alot.

I've just recieved a pair of these beauties and without a doubt they'll be great for those 7 100 milers I'll run this year. Flexible, light, and fits like my pair of slippers. They breath better than most shoes with the mesh layer, and Sportiva's sticky sole makes them great when it gets wet and slick

This light is the bomb for night running, it lights up the trail like a freight train. Not to mention it'll last all night. Many powerful lights don't work all night. No cords, just on you're head and if used with Lithium batteries, it lasts even longer and is lighter. You barely feel it on you're head

I've had a tadpole for 13 years and it still rocks. It's kind of small for two, but that's what I'm looking for. It's light and compact in packing so easy to carry, and set-up is simple....even in the rain. The NF materials are bomber too, even after all these years, it still doesn't leak. Sweet tent!

This ski is great for touring, it's light enough so you're not dragging around dead weight. It handles just about all conditions other than high speeds on groomers. A great medium width powder ski.

I ran on the At with this shirt alot and it wicked moisture away nicely and didn't snag everything. Many shirts snag even the smallest spider. This one just pushed them aside. Very comfy to say the least.

This bag holds just enough gear to get thru the short ultras. All running gear fits in nicely, and the few extra sleeves hold all the small stuff. Patagonia makes the best stuff, quality stitching and non-destructable workmanship make it a long lasting piece.

I ran in two different LS shoes during the Appalachian Trail Assault (2176 miles of rugged terrain). The Lynx provided great support once broken in. It took a few miles to break them in because of the stiff "rock protector" underneath the forefoot, but once broken in they performed perfectly. The flexibility came around, and with a slightly lower profile I did not once roll and ankle. Something I'm prone to with stiff shoes. When the mud, wet rocks, and roots were slick, the shoe gripped like a vice. From sideways to forward, slipping was a rare option. When winter comes, and running on snow is an option, these will work great!

I used the windshirt this past two months on the Appalachian Trail and found it to work great. It's a water resistant shell, that in mildly wet weather, repels the H20. Not recommended for soaking rains, unless their brief ones. This windshirt dries super fast, and even when wet, will keep in warmth. It sinched down tight when needed instead of flapping all over the place. Good product!

I used these chairs when I ran the AT this past summer. Not only do they feel nice and comfy, they are super strong in construction. Not the cheapest chair on the market, but worth the money. The only thing is the small bags for storage, but why store them, they work on the patio too.

I've been using these gloves for shoveling at Alta, Utah, and other than the palms taking a beating, they are holding up well. They ain't cheap, but for skiing or any other activity that doesn't include hammering on the palms, they rock. They are plenty warm down to about 0 degrees, after that...use a liner with them for maximum warmth.

For racing this pack is a little much. For the longer "fastpacking" trip, it's just right. All the exterior pockets are conveniently located to access gels and other random foods. This pack rides high enough to prevent bouncing too, something we all want in a hydration pack. It seemed to wick moisture away as well, making it cooler than most other "camelback" style hydration packs.

This garmin does work well, and if you are running roads or trails, the gps works well. The only bad thing about it is the life of the battery is only 7 hours (assuming it is warm out) The battery seems to die faster when it's cold. Also with all these features, the watch does not accumulate vertical feet climbed. Needless to say, it's useless for a mountain runner wanting to know how far up we've gone. It is nice as it's one unit, but not worth the 300 bucks. The Garmin 305 may be bigger, but does have the vertical gain function, which makes all the difference. The HR monitor did not seem to work that well either, once it made the connection.

These shoes seem real stiff until broken in. Once they are broken in, they run alright. I tend to roll my ankle with stiff shoes, so I tend to start with soft ones. The traction is good on rocks or dirt, and wisp away mud well when it's real wet. The fabric did not fare all that well, the mesh deteriorates rather quickly.

While running the AT this past summer, I needed some extra cushion. John Dewalt (ultra legend) pulled a pair of these out of his worn out shoes. I used them for about 2 weeks. These cushions saved my shins and made the complete difference when it comes to comfort. Worth every penny!

Like the others say, they are the staple of the boot market. Comfy, durable, easy to lace, waterproof, warm. What more do you want? They do run a 1/2 size too big, so I recommend dropping down a bit. Don't waste time even looking around.

Not recommmended The lugs break off and the shoe feels stiff, kind of like a 2X4. The mesh wears quicker than you can run the shoes out. Not giving much value to a hard earned dollar.

I've been running in Fireblade now for a year, and no other shoe compares to the sleek low profile. The shoes just seem fast! After recently completing the entire Appalachian trail in 54+ days, I would never go back to another shoe. The stiff plate underneath the forefoot kept the rocks from poking at my arch. The toebox allows enough room for my swollen feet, and along with the bomber construction, they never wore out. I only went through a few pairs the entire 2176 miles of rugged terrain. They last, don't break down and provide ultimate support for any Ultramarathon. No wonder they are ranked at the top as one of the best shoes of 2007!

The Ion Windshirt, while on the Appalachian Trail provided great wind and rain protection. Not recommended for a heavy downpour, but in lighter rain conditions and brutal wind the shirt was perfect. It cinched down tight not to flop around and be annoying. Good product, recommended for those trail runs in the mountains when a little extra protection is needed when the thunderstorms roll in.

The crosslites are awesome when it comes to slippery singletrack, whether it's mud or snow, they grip like a vice! And when it's too hard, slip in the hobnails for added bite on the ice. The upper keeps out snow or mud too, Toe room, but not too wide to slip around. Perfect winter shoe.

This pack fits great and snug. Some Hydration packs don't mold to the body like this one. The hydration bladder fills from the inside like no other and is super convenient, much better than the top fill process. Just enough pockets to carry what you need too. Simple and efficient, not to mention, it's made bombproof, and won't deteriorate over time.

Optygen is the poor man's answer to blood doping. Completely legal, optygen helps oxygen uptake, increases blood flow (no it's not viagra), and deletes lactic acid buildup in muscles. No other product on the market works like this. Not only does is help on every daily run, it aids in recovery as well, making it an all-around supplement for Ultrarunners and Endurance athletes alike. Look for a 5% increase in performances. Does that not sound like much? Run 100 miles and do the math, it translates to over an hour, the difference between winning and being the brides maid.
