Patagonia R1 Hooded Fleece Pullover - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 August 31, 2009

I really like this pullover, it's just fantastic at the time it was not available here but it is by far the best pullover i have ever worn-seen-lived with. I used this and the arc'teryx merino whool baselayer as my only items in the Sierra Gorda in Guanajuato, México for six days and five nights during the spring of 2008. The deers were my friends and the little black bear i saw respected me. No doubt.

Chaco Canyonland Leather Mid eVent Hiking Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 August 31, 2009

the boot is awesome for long hikes in the desert the only thing i have against them is the odd sizing and after using them a lot the pretty much became huge. There was a looot of room in ma feet so i got lots of blisters which was the time to return them. Great boot for the prize just not really my cup of tea. Nevertheless, i had good times with them

Icebreaker Hiker Ultralite Crew Sock - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 August 31, 2009

Not itchy, very tight fitting ( it's not gonna come down from your shin like some others do) and it's great for walking long distances in the sun. Can't stand near the cottons after two days of long walks in the desert... don't even mention blisters and so on.

Icebreaker Beast Apollo V-Neck T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 August 31, 2009

To me it was adequate for the job until it got stolen ... so... yeah.. hahha.. it is very athletic-fitting shirt. The only thing i have when comparing items is the arc'teryx merino whool long sleeve and let me tell you this one is very itchy to my taste... if you don't mind paying extra and the long sleeves get the other instead this is just too itchy.

This garment is great. Comfortable, not itchy, nice color, fully - i mean fully- functional item. It is tight fitting, keep it in mind when buying your size. It's NOT worth every penny like everyone says, because it;s super expensive but yeah that's what it costs.

Black Diamond HiLight 2-Person 3-Season Tent

Rating for this product: 3 August 31, 2009

The tent itself is very very light, true. The thing that let me down is that most of the days i used it it gave me a good dose of water in the early morning :( I used it so sleep in the desert in northern México and it was great... but in the cloud-forest it was BAD. There is condensation and while I really thought it was just me.. i tried sleeping in different parts of the forest so I would get a more accurate reading of what really is the rating on this tent. I slept in the cloud forest in:

-A cave ( no bueno)
-Near a stream ( not that bad )
-Near a small artificial lake ( there was little ventilation but the condensation was still manageable)
- inside the cloud forest but in an open field (condensation was a layer of droplets some of them fell on my body and woke me up. )
-inside thick forest lowlands (good amount of condensation)
-" " " " highlands (condesation was kept to a minimum- a small layer of little droplets is my definition of minimum)

So if anything this is a super light tent... i had a thermarest which packed to TWICE the size of the actual tent so that made me happy. The assembly is super easy I don't know what's up with the other reviewers. I pretty much take what one guy said on those P90X infomercials that piss me off so much... anyways this tukrish guy says: "if you define easy as sitting in chair, then is not easy" hahahahhaha. So all of u haters of the bd hilight- don't be sitting in chairs. aight??

Deuter Futura 28 Backpack - 1700cu in

Deuter Futura 28 Backpack - 1700cu in

Rating for this product: 4 March 9, 2009

I really really like this backpack it has a AWESOME construction really dedicated details, awesome backpack air comfort technology, the rain -travel cover, LOTs of space, water reservoir (or jaegermeister, your call!) and all around very comfortable. The two things down on this klein Rucksack:

nummer eins:
there is a front pocket which is nice but htere is a concealed 'private' one just on the inside of the backpack. This cannot hold many things because it will clog the actual backpack access which gets annoying at times.

nummer zwei:
the belt... I mean common... this is like a toys belt for the backpack I really expected something more robust... although you can cope with it since this packpack is not meant to carry tons, know whatta mean?

Arc'teryx Envoy Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's

March 7, 2009

highly mobile button-down shirt. Made with Invigor, a lightweight polyester fabric that has mechanical stretch and keeps you cool when things heat up. Hidden within its urban style are gusseted underarms and articulated elbows for added freedomMechanical stretch fabric for cool feeling summer comfort • Chest pocket with hidden security zip • Colour matched snap closures on front and cuffs • No-lift gusseted underarms • Articulated elbow • Colour matched snap closures on front placket • Patterened for ease of motion • Tonal embroidered bird logo on chest pocket and it weights 238g now the only thing i can't do is to put it around you and see how it would look... just check the sizes for it! If you have a strong built body ofcourse you'll be snug most of the time regardless of the garment...

The North Face Paramount Convertible Pant - Men's

The North Face Paramount Convertible Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 January 27, 2009

I bought this last December to travel through the jungle in Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. The FIRST day I tried on I made a hole in on of the side pockets. The assembly is: SHITTY. You can't beat this gear too much otherwise you'll see the damage really soon. It barely made it through some rough trip on the lacandona jungle. I had to sew it myself but the MADE IN BANGLADESH really sucks... the hangers that are on the belt were almost destroyed at the end.. very poor construction. On the other hand the technology was really helpful those things dried all sorts of fast. Lot's of pockets were really helpful during the trip. The sippers are great very good ones. I really liked the "concealed one" by the right side pocket.

If you use it as I saw most SENIOR US peepz on the streets of Chiapas and Guatemala to stroll on the markets well you look great but if you are using them for what they are worth... you'll find they're not only expensive.. they're not up to the standards of this company.

love-hate relationship... mainly hate.

Marmot DriClime Catalyst Jacket  - Men's

Marmot DriClime Catalyst Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 27, 2009

I used this product for a trip through the jungle in Mexico and Guatemala and all I can say is that it NEVER let me down. This is really good as an insulating layer, it breathes great... it's made with recycled materials.. what's not to love? The fit? I ordered a medium and it is a great fit on the neck (15), shoulders, arms, and JUST a little tiny big on the stomach area but it can be adjusted. I ordered a whole bunch of products with this through bc and this by far is THE BEST piece of equipment i've bought in 2008. Period.

Did I mention it's like running with a t-shirt? The sensation of comfort you feel with this jacket is nonequivalent
