i use this bad boy for everything in the colder months. It's awesome for my trail runs, although I wish the orange was brighter to keep the hunters from thinking I'm game. The wool isn't as soft as my socks but feels more durable. Smells like a wet dog after I use it but way better than that stank BO you get from other fabrics. Got an awesome fit for my lean body and the pocket is great for a car key or handwarmers.

i've put some substantial miles on these shoes and they still perform well. My second run in them was about 11 miles without any problems. They are quite waterproof but some water is able to very slowly leak through when they are submerged. The lacing system works great,the footing is secure, and the tread lasts a while . I wear smartwool mini socks and have been comfortable from snow to 90 degree weather.

these are my go-to socks. nice and thin so i can be one with my boots. the snowflakes make the ladies go wild.

wore em twice with a sustained wind chill of -30 and felt great. those handy little hand warmers weren't even used. if i need anything else i'll buy these in mittens.

merino wool is awesome. darn tough is awesome. these socks... are awesome. fits like a glove. maybe if you buy these socks you'll start saying "fits like a sock" though.

yeah you can't hear anything because that's what insulation does. i dunno why you look like a conehead, but i'm guessing that is so more air gets trapped above your head thus keeping you warmer. regardless, the thing is warm... and awesome.

nom nom nom. got it in red. keeps the ears warm.

old man pants. dumpy butt, lots of extraness. waist is good, length is long to accommodate the tall skinny folks. very soft & warm polartec fleece. zippered back pocket and nonzippered side pockets. works great.

just kidding! solid socks though. use them for my 6 mile runs and they fit great. one gripe though... i only bought one pair. thin socks so you'll be looking more for a perfect fit and awesome breathability than warmth and cushioning. much better than my defeet aireaters.

haven't worn flippin floppers since i was five but these things felt good right off the bat. they fit nice, tread is great, look snazzy. little heavier than i was anticipating but that's probably because they're durable.

cheap, durable, lightweight. as far as uninflatables go, this thing is the best. you'll hafta spend an extra hundred to get something better and anything cheaper isn't worth it. 4 stars compared to the neoair. this thing is the way to go for backpacking. kayaking needs an inflatable for space's sake.

bad things: (1)the zipper pulls fell off. no big deal: replaced with string.(2)no water bottle holders! weird. no big deal. bought a camelback. much better.(3)butt slid in winter. scratched up the bottom. solution: cover with duct tape when you plan on beating it up.
awesome pack. great dorsal ventilation. comfortable + light. good for a day hike, better for an UL overnight/multinight trip.pockets in hipbelt great for a small(one clif bar per pocket)snack or a camera. bottom line: great pack that'll get lots of use.

great for running and hiking. keep your junk in place. not too tight, feel true to size. dry fast but doesn't really matter 'cuz you can wear them wet and they'll feel pretty dry (the body heat will dry them off just as fast as a dryer anyways). bottom line: worth the money!
