    I love to be outdoors. Backpacking in the summer and snowboarding in the winter. Favorite mountains are the Sawtooth mountains in Idaho. Or maybe the Tetons, or maybe the Wind Rivers, or maybe the Uintas... I don't know, I love them all.

I got these for chilly backpacking trips. They are pretty awesome. Not bulky at all, yet really warm. The fleece liner is really comfy and warm. They fit true to size.

Like most others say, this is definately on the long side. Washing it helps for sure, and I like the length of it after a few washes. It fits pretty slim as well. I'm 6 foot 165 lbs and the Large is a pretty tight fit

Rating for this product: 4 June 17, 2009

I usually take at least one of these on trips. Good source of protein, and a nice option from oatmeal. I suggest letting them "cook" for about 5 minutes longer than what is suggested, and even giving it a few stirs throughout the cook time.

Rating for this product: 3 June 17, 2009

Got this to go over an old large external frame pack. It fit the pack ok, but with the sleeping bag tied to the outside, it was a stretch to cover it as well. I got the large size. If you have a really big pack, this may not be the best choice.

Sierra Designs Hurricane Jacket - Men's

Sierra Designs Hurricane Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 June 3, 2009

I have used this in a few rainstorms, nothing too serious, but it held up great. The construction quality is good, and I didn't notice any leaking on or around seams. The hood is a little big, but is probably great for use with a helmet. I am 6 foot 165 pounds. I went with a Large because I have abnormally long arms. The overal fit is a little baggier than I was hoping for, but the sleeve length is good. Drawstring around waist is nice and hand pockets are a good feature as well, without adding too much weight.

Great daypack

Lowe Alpine Crag Attack 40 Pack - 2400cu in

Rating for this product: 4 June 3, 2009

I got this pack for an oversized daypack. It has lots of room for what I intended to use it for, just dayhikes where I would be carrying jackets and snacks and such for Myself, and also i wanted room to throw in stuff if I took my younger sons hiking with me. It also has the compression straps that make for a snug fit even if I don't fill it up. Zippers are strong and durable, straps are comfortable, and waistbelt gives the option for an even more secure fit.

I got this top for my girlfriend who is a fitness instructor.She loves the way it looks. She is a small in most everything, so I got her the small in this, but it was a little bigger than most smalls. For a tighter fit order a size down. Other than that she really likes it.

Got this for my girlfriend and she likes them. They were a little loose on the fit. She was wanting them for a workout pant and they are a little loose for her liking. If you want a tighter fit, order a size down. These run a little large.

Rating for this product: 4 February 16, 2009

I ordered this a size too big. I was thinking I would go up a size because I have really long arms. I'm 6 foot and 170 lbs. I went with an XL for the arm length, but wish I would have done the L. It still works, just is a little baggy. I have gotten compliments every time I have worn it!

I really like this shirt! The feel of the fabric is soft and comfy. The only regret I have is the sleeves are a little short on it. I do have long arms but i am 6 foot 170 lbs and the large is a little short on the arms. The fit on the body is similar to most MH stuff and is more of a slim fit.

Rating for this product: 5 December 29, 2008

Had a nalgene for years, and finally decided to make the switch. It is so nice to have a singular taste come out of this! I was always struggling to get the taste of the last beverage out of my nalgene. With this it is easy as pie! I got the sport cap and I think I almost rather like just unscrewing the lid to drink out of it. Very happy with it, as well are the others who I got some for!

DC Judge Snowboard Boot - Men's

DC Judge Snowboard Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 29, 2008

Have only taken them out a few times, but I am happier each time I take them out. I got them for the boa feature because I hated trying to get my old boots to stay as tight as I wanted. These are great because I can tighten them without even lifting the gaiters on my pants! So simple... The comfort is great. First day was a little stiff, but now that they are broke in a little, they are great. I checked sizing at a local shop before I got them. I like my toes to just barely touch the ends of the liner and to have this ORDER TRUE TO SIZE. That is my experience anyway. I wear a 12 shoe and 12 in these fits perfectly, especially after a few days of packing out. I look forward to more great days in these boots!

I loved this pair of socks. Went with the large for my size 12 and it worked good. Don't try to dry them out fast by the fire though... Mine got a little to toasty:( Not real big on spending $16 for a pair of socks, but believe these are worth it!

I really enjoy this product. Very compact. My Brunton Raptor fits right inside perfectly! Also the stuff sack/sink does a pretty good job of holding water. Nice little extra not found on many other cookware sets. Would definately recommend to anyone looking for a solo cook set.

Not that sporks can be that complicated, but this thing is pretty convenient. The telescoping design enables it to slip right inside of my GSI Outdoor Ultralight Soloist Cook System. Makes it nice not having to remember where I stashed my spork at dinner time...

Never been cold in it

The North Face Aleutian Bx Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Synthetic

Rating for this product: 5 October 27, 2008

Could not be happier with this bag! I have used it probably 8 times now in temperatures ranging from the 60's to the 20's and have never been uncomfortable in it. I am 6 feet tall and I got the long because I thought I may want the extra length. I have about 8 inches extra on the bottom. Price is simply amazing for the quality of this bag! OH, and the zipper is super nice as well. No annoying snags when your getting in or out.
