Straddles the Fence of Cute & Functional

Solstice Double Diamond Parka - Women's

Solstice Double Diamond Parka - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 October 16, 2009

This jacket is so dang cute--I feel like a girl, despite the bulk of a 'winter ski jacket.' I dig all the functionality (pit zips, pockets, etc.) and the cool detail of the flap in the front. The color was a bit darker than the picture (I got the green/turquoise color), but pretty close to the same color. The fit is fairly tight -- if you are between sizes, go up. I am 5'2'' & 115 (34 inches around, up top). I bought the small and can fit some long underwear & a thin fleece under it...but not much else. The jacket is fairly short (falls about half-way down my rear-end) -- but the removable snow skirt helps when lifting up my arms.

Overall -- a great combo of cute & functional.

My Favorite Climbing Top

Stonewear Designs Solace Tank Top - Women's

Stonewear Designs Solace Tank Top - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 August 14, 2006

I have a black one of these and LOVE it. I've worn this top for 3-day weekends of climbing & hiking. I'm a 34B & have the size small. It doesn't stretch out or leave me sagging -- it holds its shape well. I get quite a few compliments when I am wearing it. I have had it for at least a year or two & have washed it many times (and thrown it in the dryer). Yes, it is beginning show wear, but the fit is still excellent. The boobs do not snag as I climb (thanks to outer tank being made of cotton) & has outlasted many of my poly tanks.

Uncomfortable, but Awesome

Scarpa Reflex Rock Climbing Shoe

Scarpa Reflex Rock Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 4 February 16, 2005

These shoes took a while to break in--and even when I did break them in, they were still fairly uncomfortable. But, on the upside, they have performed very well. They edge wonderfully; they have a still sole which holds its shape in a crack; the heels hold really well on odd bouldering heel hooks, the rubber sticks well on wherever I paste them. Even after I blew out the toe, these were still my choice for routes at my skill limit. I am more than willing to suck it & deal with the pain for the performance. My first pair delaminated 2 months after wearing them--I sent them to the manuf. & they promptly sent me a new pair, which has been great.

New favorite black workout pants

The North Face A5 Akira Pant - Women's

The North Face A5 Akira Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 25, 2005

These pants are wonderful! Love them, love them, love them. The waist-band folds over when I want the low-waist (good for bouldering)...or folds back up to be more covering (good for a climbing harness). I wore them 4-5 days in a row, on a trip & they held their shape. I would caution--I am typically a size sm/x-sm & I definitely needed the x-sm pants...and would have almost preferred x-x-sm. They run a bit large & don't shrink much. They are also plenty long (I am 5'2'' & they drag on the ground when I am barefoot).

Worth it!

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Hooded Jacket - Women's

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Hooded Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 20, 2005

Love this coat--I wore it on a bouldering trip & then around town in the super-cold & I was wonderfully toasty. I had purchased this coat & the Marmot hooded poofy coat. This one packed much smaller and weighed signif. less. On the other hand, it has a 'thinner' material than the Marmot one. I liked the pockets inside of it (which the Marmot one lacked). It is super-poofy, with my coworkers calling me a space-chick, but at least I'm a warm space-chick.

Nice, but Short

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Jacket - Women's

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 January 20, 2005

I like this coat--it is a standard, warm, poofy coat. I do think these style of coats are too short. If it is cold enough to need a down-filled coat, I think it is cold enough to want one that will cover your tummy, even when reaching to the sky. If I would keep this coat, I would want it several sizes too large, so that it covers my hips/rear a bit better.

Nice Jacket, but not quite right

Marmot Mountain Down Jacket - Women's

Marmot Mountain Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 January 20, 2005

I bought this coat & the Mtn Hardwear one & I returned this one. I thought it was too 'thick' for a coat to pack. Meaning it packed significantly larger than the Mtn Hardwear one. Also, it didn't have any inside pockets for waterbottles & climbing shoes. Finally, it kind of cut in the sides, to make it more girlie...which is great for the way it looked...but it didn't fit as comfortably for the purpose of layering, etc.

Not fit for climbing

I bought these, in hopes they would make good summer climbing shorts. Instead, they were fit for watersports, much more than for bouldering/climbing.

This jacket rocks! It has all the bells and whistles for snow fun. I would highly recommend it. But, beware. I bought size small (I am typically a size 2-4, 5'2") and it was still a bit big for me.

The North Face A5 Akira Halter Top - Womens

The North Face A5 Akira Halter Top - Womens

Rating for this product: 5 April 20, 2004

This top is incredibly comfortable. It's easy to move in it & the elastic does not pinch. It provides moderate support--great, for a shelf bra top. Granted, it does nothing to make me look more veluptuous--but, it's a sport top.
