Lights are a great idea for dogs at night. Period. Whether I'm walking/running with my dog, or just let him out in the yard, I put this on him. If he were ever to get loose, he practically becomes invisible at night, and could easily get hit.

This is a pretty good light- I've had it about 3 years, and it's still going strong. It has a few different settings (flash/strobe/solid) and is nice and bright. It stays clipped on to the collar (or jacket) very well. I've lost other lights b/c they fell off... but not this one. The light stays on so well, that if I try to pull it off in a hurry, it has actually come apart. The top to it will come off of the base. It easily clips back together, and still works fine, but because of this flaw I only give it 4 stars.

Ruffwear has an lifetime warranty- so if it does ever break/stop working, I'm sure you could send it back!! Awesome company!!

I haven't had any issues with this pack (unlike the user who posted a pic of the webbing tear). I've been using it for trail running and mountain biking with no problems. It is very versatile, as it is so compressible. Flaw is the really long dangling straps... They are about a foot too long (some are easily cut, others a bit harder due to the engineering of the pack). Nice pack though, I'm a fan!

This is a nice no-frills rack. It hold a bike securely. I've had a pair of them for about 5 years, and have used them regularly with no complaint. I did leave them on my car one winter (in the northeast), and they did rust shut. I had to use pliers & WD40 to get the skewer out... but even after that endeavor, it's serving me well! Works great for a mountain bike, but my road bike tires are small and it doesn't clamp all the way down on them. I use an old rag/sock stuffed in the tray to make it work. Not sure if other bike carrying options have the same problem, but I like to have the tire clamped securely. Not a perfect rack, but for the money, it's a good option.

I put Yakima racks on every car I have, and I have to say, this LowRider system is my favorite thus far! I've had Q-Towers and the track rack, and both require fit kits. The Lowrider system, once put together, can literally be installed in minutes. You don't even have to measure the distance between the bars! Simply stick the bars in the towers, put the towers on your rack, and tighten! By screwing in the side pieces, you tighten the bars to the towers to the car. It's that easy! This rack fits on most cars/suvs/trucks that already have side rails. They won't fit a car with huge rails like an XTerra though. Go to Yakima's website to see what will fit your car. The "Railgrab" is the new version of the LowRider. I like the Lowrider better, so recommend getting it before it's phased out!

These pants are very soft and stretchy, and awesome for yoga, climbing, walking, and casual wear. I would say they run a big large though- I got my normal size, and have to cinch the waist a lot. If you want a tighter fit, I'd size down. If you want a baggier fit, go with your normal size.

I love this vest! It is warm and looks great! I get tons of compliments on it! It has a quilted outer layer, and then it has arm gussets to keep the chill out. Waist drawcord in front pockets is a great feature. I wear this ALL the time- under a ski jacket, over a light layer in the spring/fall... it is super versatile and very practical... highly recommended!

These are my first set of trail runners, and I will be back for more once I wear them out. I got them primarily for winter running in Maine- I wanted something with more traction on ice, and something that would keep my feet dry when running through slush. These work PERFECTLY for that! They are really stable and flexible, and they do not let water in! I have also done trail running and light hiking in these, and they have worked excellently for those activities as well. In fact, I hiked in them for a few months when I was "in between" hiking boots, and they worked great. These are very comfortable, very durable, and run true to size- I highly recommend them!

Great fleece. I forgot my ski jacket once last winter, and ended up wearing this instead... and I was actually warm enough! It's really soft, fuzzy, and people may even want to pet you. I found that it runs true to size. I got my normal size, and it fits perfectly...

My favorite skirt. I think I wore it every day last summer. Over a bathing suit to the beach as a skirt or dress, with a cute tank to go out to happy hour, around the house... it is incredibly versatile. It also doesn't wrinkle and doesn't need to be washed often- which makes it an awesome travel piece. Highly recommended!

This is a great spring/fall fleece, or an excellent jacket alternative for a warm ski day. The windstopper fabric is great- it really does take away the windchill factor, and keeps me really warm. Great fit- true to size.

I have the 08 model of this ski, and for Maine snow (aka ice), it was my go-to alpine ski last season. Excellent carver, and really fast, & stable. Due to the narrow waist, I didn't enjoy taking this ski off trail, but then again, that is not what it is made for. I would definitely recommend this ski for an intermediate/advanced skier who normally skis groomed runs in the East. Out West, I'd go with something a little fatter.

I live in Maine, and need a good down jacket for those brutally cold days. I got the Patagonia down jacket, assuming I would love it. I didn't. It was too short, and I felt like a marshmallow. So I sold it on eBay, and got this jacket, as I love all other Marmot jackets I own (I have 5-6 of them). This jacket is so much better. It's just as warm, and the FIT is SO much better! It is LONG enough in back so that the wind doesn't come up! It is a puffy jacket (it's a high-fill down jacket so this is a given), but I do not feel ridiculous wearing it. I have the rainwater color, which is bright, but not overly so. It is a great color. The only thing I'm not 100% fond of are the wrist cuffs. They are a little big and lack any nice detail (no velcro or liner or anything)... but this is not a deal breaker... just a minor complaint. Otherwise, love the jacket!

I wear this all the time, for any outdoor activity, for running, for errands, for lounging around the house. It is a very thin layer, but is very soft and stretchy.

I was a bit hesitant to buy these as Stoic is a new brand, but I am glad I did! They are very well made, and fit very well. I will use these for backcountry touring, I wanted something lighter & more breathable than the shell ski pants I already have. I got my normal size, and they fit well. They are a bit slimmer than other pants I have/have tried on, but I don't mind. They fit fine over my tele boots. They do zip up the leg a bit, but don't have any type of liner inside to keep snow out so this may be an issue in deep power. They have a heavy reinforcement patch on the lower inner leg, which is pretty tough material. If you scratch it with your nail it makes a really loud sound (think chalkboard). All in all, I am happy with these, and can't wait to be able to use them! (P.S. "Not black" is black.)

Perfect leash. It is adjustable, so I use it for running. The clip makes this so easy, as I adjust the loop to fit my waist, then just clip it together, and we're off for a run! When we're done running, I un-clip it and use it as a normal leash! And I can clip my dog outside the coffee shop without taking the leash off of him! I've had mine for about 3 years, and have used it daily. Highly recommended!

I have a skinny 60lb lab/hound who LOVES to hike. I got this harness for him (size Medium and he uses it on the tightest settings) recently, and am so glad I did. He's a great hiker, but occasionally is intimidated by steep rocky slopes, or icy spots. When this happens, I just clip a leash to this harness, and pull him right up. Usually he can get his legs in position to help out my efforts, but sometimes I do end up actually pulling him straight up, and the harness works just fine for that. I wouldn't "rappel" him (too risky), but I believe that Ruffwear has recently released a new product that is safe for dog-rappelling, so I would recommend that instead.

All in all, a great product. I get a ton of comments about the harness from other hikers, most of whom have probably bought their own by now!

Excellent technical shell. I've had mine about a month, and it has been excellent for the resort and backcountry skiing I've used it for. Plus the color (celestial blue) is awesome- very bright, which makes me easy to spot. I've received many compliments already. The jacket has a great feminine fit, and fits well over a fleece or softshell. My only complaint is that the powder skirt is a bit high, and doesn't really stop powder from coming up... so I just took it out. The hood, however, is perfect- fits over my helmet, and the neck comes up high to block wind. A great deal, especially if you can find it on SAC.

Not a fan. When I first got it, I loved it. It's soft and fuzzy so how could you not love it? But then I started wearing it, and realized it is NOT warm or practical at all. It's actually pretty thin- you can actually see through it. I ended up sending it back... it may be a good fleece if you want to "look cute"... but I like jackets that keep me warm as well as look cute... I know, I'm so picky!

Awesome layering top! Also great for chilly day runs. Buy it!

Great harness- fit is excellent for me, but I have heard of others who prefer Petzl's prior sizing system. If you wore a medium in the prior sizing system, you may be between sizes in this harness- try one on before you buy, if possible!

Nice softshell... but weird fit. Slender through the torso area, and LARGE through the shoulders and upper arms.

Despite the fit, I kept it, and though I don't wear it out on the town, I do wear it for winter running (as a top layer) or skiing in frigid conditions (as a mid layer).
