Never really preferred this type of hat before but what I think makes this one work for me is the 'perforated' brim. I think it accounts for the better fit, it just feels better and I think looks better on. It buttons rather than snaps, which I like. The fleece lining isn't too bulky that it makes your head look huge, but is enough to provide sufficient warmth. Can recommend this item and the only reason I'm not giving it that 5th star is because it's double-branded, on both the front and the back, that's my own little pet peeve, otherwise it's a winner.

My first pair of KUHL pants and I am surprised by just how much I'm liking them. The fabric and construction really are incredibly comfortable as of the first wearing, and of quality. From the reinforced pockets and hems, articulated construction, functional snap closure, inside pant description, it's clear that a lot of thought went into developing this product. I feel the sizing is accurate and highly recommend them.
I do have one small reservation/suggestion and am reluctant to bring it up because I really do like these pants, but I'm not into 'label's and would have preferred a little less branding. These are branded three times - the small front tab, back pocket embroidery and back belt loop logo. Otherwise, they are nearly perfect!

Sometimes it just seems like folks disappointment with their online products stems from the fact that they just don't read the item descriptions thoroughly. The 'Bottom Line' on this product clearly states 'Lightweight protection from the sun'. Yet folks complain when the item arrives and it's actually lightweight and they 'thought' it should be 'more substantial'. I bought this hat for use on the beach, in the backyard whether I'm gardening or barbecuing, or just walking around town, and for those activities it is just right. Because the fabric is lightweight the brim does take on that worn, kind of crumpled shape/look, which is nice and different from my many other sun hats.

I've had these shorts a couple weeks now and so far think they're pretty great. They really are super lightweight, moves well with the body, fabric seams reasonably durable, and they look great too. I can wear them hiking, mountain biking, and then around town too. I think the pockets are actually just right because they are close to the body and smallish; additional and larger pockets would make the shorts heavier and not as comfortable nor as 'fluid' during highly aerobic activities. If I really need to bring that much stuff with me I'll use my Amphipod Belt or running pack, etc. I'm a 32-33" waist and the size L fits well. Would recommend these shorts!

I already own full length IB leggings which I love and thought I'd try these for skiing. Great not only for skiing but for just about any other activity where you don't need the insulation of the full length. Really nice quality material, extremely comfortable next to the skin. A suggestion about the sizing though, if you're in-between sizes go with the smaller option for a more athletic fit which I like for highly aerobic activities like running, etc.

I got the Free Heel as opposed to the full heel because my feet tend to over-heat easily, and I find these slippers to be quite nice. When it gets really cold I just wear socks with them and they are great that way too. I'm usually a size 11 to 11.5 in shoes so I ordered these in size 11 and they fit me well with or without socks. I really like the mostly wool materials.

I already own three Icebreaker Oasis 'Bodyfit' tops which I love, and when I saw this one with the fun graphics I had to get it. Same great fabric as I've come to expect from Icebreaker and even though it's supposed to be the same model that I've grown to love I'm finding that the fit is not quite the same. Not sure if it's just this one top but the 'Bodyfit' size Large that fits me perfectly every other time seems off here, not the 'athletic' fit I like and was expecting - the neckline is a larger opening and is a much looser fit . . . I almost wonder if it's been mislabeled?

I have quite a bit of performance wool items and this is my heaviest weight so far and I really like the added weight and warmth this top provides. Layered on top of my Icebreaker 200 weight base layer it provides the perfect insulation when topped off by my technical ski shell, yet without any of the unwanted bulk. Fabric is really nice and looks great too.

Have been wearing my Icebreaker 200 Wt. leggings and LOVE them and so I thought I'd give these a try just to have another/back-up pair. I have them in charcoal and they are really nice and because of the lighter color, white seams, and (small) reflective logo are good for night running. My only issue with them (and why I didn't give them 5 stars) is because the bottoms/cuffs are a little loose/baggy. Other than that they are great and I'd recommend them.

Have worn these several times skiing here in the northeast and some of those conditions were very cold. The warmth level was adequate but on the coldest days liners were necessary. So far my gloves, including the palms, have held up fine.

These seem like quality briefs - the fabric is really nice and I have no problem with the elastic/waist band. The only negative for me is the fit and found the 'body fit' was fairly lose on me, and not like the boxer brief fit I like and was expecting from the description. I'm a size large in all other underwear but maybe I should have tried mediums. This is my third type of IceBreaker underwear and while I LOVE all of their other items I may have to reconsider before trying their underwear again.

So far I've found the Spire to be well built, dependable, and meets most of my needs. My first jacket with a powder skirt and I don't know why I waited so long to get one of those but it is great, and I'd never go skiing without one again. Solid, dependable, no frills shell from Marmot that I'd recommend for all your skiing and winter needs.

Very nice fit and insulated padding in all the right places. Good sock for skiing, and other cold weather activities, and I've been using them for everyday use in cold weather too. I'm happy with this purchase.

While these are great for skiing they're also equally good for hiking, climbing and just everyday use. I find myself wearing them all the time. My feet are sensitive to over-heating but these mid-weights with the variable padding are just right for me and keep my feet and lower legs warm in just the right places without over-heating my feet.

I'm 6'1', 175 lbs and ordered the Large which fits fine w/plenty of room for some layering. I think the waist may have been too short had I gone with the Medium. Super soft and nice to the touch fabric and like everyone else has already said, this jacket weighs next to nothing, yet is a nice insulating layer. The 'open' pockets do allow for cold air to enter but unlike so many other reviews, THE HOOD IS ADJUSTABLE! In addition to a good insulating layer it also folds down extremely small which will be good for me to stash inside my pack as a 'just in case' I need some extra insulation item. Overall, a really jacket.

It's a nice bag with good, solid, weather-proof characteristics. I like the smaller 40L size, it's great for long weekends, which is my usual m.o. So far it hasn't been subjected to serious rough & tumble action I'm optimistic and will update accordingly. For this price I'm happy with my purchase.

I really like that this jacket is so light, that the fabric feels great against the skin, and that it packs up incredibly small. I'm 6'1" & 175 lbs and based on the comments below I ordered size Large, thinking it might run a little small. Based on how it fits me I'd disagree that all MontBell item runs small, I feel this is true to size and sometimes wonder if I should have ordered a Medium. I've been using as an insulating/layering jacket for the most part, except on dry, low wind days it's good on it's own, although that's when I wish it had pockets. The fact that it has no pockets or loops of any kind actually makes it a bit challenging to use on its own. Overall I think the quality is good and I like this jacket.

I've now had this item for a couple months and am back to upgrade it from 4 to 5 stars. It washes well, perfect fit - I'm 6'1" & 175 lbs and I have size Large. I like the sleeve length and all the little design touches they've added . . . and as for the neck, no it's not a V-neck and the description doesn't describe it as such, it's a basic crew neck with a small V flourish and I like that too!

I've had my Sundowners for years and they have held up remarkably well. Sure, they were a bit stiff at first but they soften with use, are relatively light considering the full leather. If it matters to anyone, I'm still using my Italian made Sundowners purchased quite a fews years back and while I haven't had to purchase another pair since they moved production, I'm not ruling out another pair when the need arises.

I really can't say enough about how much I like this top. It fits great, looks great, and performs great whether I'm running, cycling, skiing, hiking, or just hanging out at the local pub. For a little more clarity - yes it breathes well, no it doesn't itch, yes it allows for maximum mobility in all directions even though it's an athletic (body hugging) fit, yes it does keep you relatively warm even when wet and finally yes, you really do need to follow the care instructions for the Icebreaker wool items.

I have this top in Camo and really like it a lot. The fit is great, close to the body without being too small looking or tight feeling, and yet allows great mobility during activities. I use mine for running, biking, hiking and it looks good enough to just wear around. The zipper is great for ventilation if you start to feel warm. Only thing is you really need to follow the care instructions to make it last and continue to look good.

My first Arc'teryx jacket. I'm 6'1" & 175 lbs and the size Large fits well, allows enough room for the Montane 2.0 Prism jacket underneath for warmth but note that the waist is very slightly tapered. So far I've only had it out in the rain for short periods but it is indeed waterproof. The zips and seams all appear to be in good, solid working order. Unlike some reviewers I find that it folds up sufficiently small and am fine with the one front pocket (not sure why anyone would order this jacket and then complain about that feature?) Of the two pits zips only one goes all the way to the hem but after many uses I think I would have liked both of them to go all they way down (even if it did add a little extra weight) although this is not a deal breaker for me. I really do like the functionality and good looks of this item and plan to continue to use it as my go to multi-purpose jacket.

It's always difficult determining the true appearance/color online and so I ordered both the Steel and the Morrocan Blue. Both very nice looking but am keeping the blue and returning the Steel because while I like gray, this jacket is dark enough that it could be mistaken for black, which I don't really want.

It's a good basic insulated, mid-warmth, yet very lightweight jacket. I'm 6'1" & 175 lbs and the Large fits well. Nice proportions and the over-all cut/fit are conducive to activity/movement. I purchased it to wear under my shell for cold weather skiing but find it to be highly versatile by itself. I like the uniquely adjustable hood. The two pockets are fine but was kind of hoping for additional pocket/storage options but that's all there is. I guess there's something to be said for simplicity.

I was attracted to this vest because the zipper/venting was different that any of my others. I use it on mild days around town by itself and it's just fine. Use it skiing as an insulating layer under my shell jacket and it works just fine, plenty warm. I'm in New York so it's most often in the 20 -30 degree range during our winters and it's sufficient. I can see why in more sever conditions the lack of a waist drawstring/cinch could be a problem but not for me. I also really like the high collar, it extends higher than most of the others I've had. Honestly, my favorite part of this vest is the look, it's very sharp looking with the side zips and I get a ton of compliments on it!

This is my fourth Icebreaker top I've purchased in the last 6 months and it really is great. I don't think I could ever go back to synthetics. It's a good 'athletic' fit that I use as a base layer to run and cycle in. Just be sure to follow the care instructions as described.

Maybe it's just that I'm not used to the cut of these but I'm a 32-33" waist and I ordered a Medium and Large. Returned the Mediums before wearing them and kept the Large. After just a little bit of shrinkage from the washing they are now a bit small too but will have to keep since I've worn them. Love Icebreaker items but may have to try the boxer briefs if I want to go wool. I have their long underwear and they fit just right. I've determined that the reason these aren't working for me is not because they're wool, but rather it's the cut I don't like. Undergarment fit is very personal and while I love and will continue to buy Icebreaker products, their briefs just don't fit me they way I like.

Have only worn commuting to and from work but they are fine and lightweight enough to throw in my shoulder bag for overcast days just in case they're needed. The bottom zips are large enough to fit over my trail shoes without having to remove them, which in my opinion is essential for any rain pant.

Have now used mine to run, bike and in place of my athletic tights and love them. The fit is a bit tighter/athletic feeling than my Smartwool bottoms so will wear these for high activity. I'm usually between a medium and large in size and ordered these in medium and they are just right.

Like I said the size mediums fits a bit looser than my Icebreaker leggings but that's fine as I'll wear them under my looser dress pants when it's super cold, and even to bed sometimes. Nice fabric.
