Wanted to upgrade my TNF McKinley and get a little more warmth, got the Sentinel and it is great. I was out in some nasty horizontal ice pellets that turned to very wet snow in 30 degree weather with just a 100 weight fleece underneath and it kept me warm and dry. My wife made fun of me when we got out of the snow and thought I would be soaked, not a drop got through it and it was only slightly wet to the touch. I'm 6'3" and 210 lbs and the XL fits great. Compared to the Apex or McKinley this is worth the extra $$.

I have a few of these and love them - but I ordered the sable brown on sale and it is has a lot of pink/purple in the weave. The trim also has a purple tint. Yuck.

I got this to use as a diaper bag since I was primarily using the backpack function on my previous diaper bag now that I have 2 kids. The cooler section is great for park/picnic outings and the wetsuit pocket is great for accidents, spills, or the pool. The neptune stripe is really nice and I don't feel like I have a girly, nerdy bag, plus I can use it when the kids are older too. My husband even loved it so much he got his own man version for when he takes the kids out by himself!

I had a North Face bag previously and thought it was great, until I checked out one of these. This is packed full of features and has plenty of pockets to organize your stuff that are really well thought out. The laptop has it's own separate compartment which you'll find is more helpful than you thought it would be. The elastic drink holder on the outside is a huge plus, just wish there was one on both sides. Very comfortable strap, and carries great. The quality of Timbuk2 is awesome, this bag is built like a tank! I would not hesitate to buy this bag, you won't be disappointed.

Our 2 year old loves to take long walks but a few different pairs of inexpensive shoes were causing her discomfort each time. Finally we decided to spring for these - hey, these are pricey for a TODDLER! - and it was worth it. THey are perfect for water play, the playground (with the bump toe protection) and they even look alright for church. Much better option to the horrible but also versatile croc type shoes. Just an added plus that she loves being her dad's mini-me with their matching shoes.
Also, all Keens are washable, so they shouldn't get too stinky!

I've had a pair of Newports for a long time and decided to get another pair of Keen sandals. These are great, they are lighter than the Newports but with all the support, very comfortable right off the bat, and are well made. Don't hesitate to buy, you won't be dissapointed.

These are great quality and come with a nice variety of tops. I don't think they leave a taste - don't think that's possible with high quality stainless. I slip one in my bag for me and one for my daughter now that they also come with an Avent sippy adapter option! If I accidently leave our water in the car in the heat, at least it is still drinkable compared to water that has leached plastic from the bottle.

I have one of these and it's just not the quality of my Kleen Kanteen, which is stainless steel, compared to the aluminum Sigg. The Siggs just look so great and have a color & pattern that appeals to everyone. I love how mine looks, but the Kleen Kanteen performs better and dents less easily. Also, I have the sports top and I HATE it, would not recommend it. Half the time that I go to twist it open it comes completely off. I wish I would have just went with the loop top now. Kleen's sports top is simpler and works better.

These things will last you forever, and if they don't just send them into Chaco and they will re-sole them for you. Just give them a chance to break in and you will love them.

Very comfortable pants, but also very durable. Pants were true to size. These are great for work but also casual wear as well.

I never thought my daughter would actually enjoy being in a carrier enough to actually get mad when I try to take her out. I'm 6'4" and this adjusted nicely to my height, but with the amount of different adjustments this should be able to fit anybody short or tall. The padding is really nice in the kids "cockpit" and so is the straps for the adult. I'm just really impressed so far by the quality, amount of cargo room, functionality and comfort put in this pack by Kelty.

I got the whisper hooded jacket after I saw it on someone and had to have it, and then I had to get the vest as well! The lining inside is fun and the cut and light weight of this vest is great. It's nice that everyone will be envious of your vest, but you won't see everyone else wearing it like you will a North Face. I agree, the only thing I would change is to have a removable hood or hoodless option.

These are some durable shorts that will take a lot of effort to wear out. Extra pockets on these, like all Carhartt pants/shorts is great for stashing extra gear.

This is a great lightweight jacket that is easy to store. I'm 6'4" 210 lbs and the XL fit great with some room for layering but also fit just wearing with a T-Shirt. So far it has been completely waterproof for me and I have no complaints especially since I got it on SAC at a great price! Plus with Backcountry you can always return it at any time if you have any problems.

When I got this jacket I thought it was a little bit weird, with the stretchy material on the outside. But the interior is soft and I think it will be great for spring since I always het to warm. The only funky thing is that there is a seam going around the upper arm, like where your t-shirt would end. It's not scratchy like they can be and not very visible because of the pattern on the jacket, so it's not a big deal, just kind of funky.

I always wear one of these all winter. Very comfortable and fits me well - 6'4" 210 and XL fits perfect. Warm, but won't roast you if your doing something more active. Only compaint I have is that they tweak it every year. I have three different years of these and each one has it's own little quirks.

You'll never buy another hoody again if you purchase this! I have 2 of these and they are very warm and don't shrink in the wash. Great quality and the fit seems true as well.

I've abused these doing pretty much everything from working to camping and they keep on going. Really comfortable and lightweight but can still take a beating.

I've had one of these for a long time and it is still probably one of my warmest jackets. It may not be waterproof but it can do everything else.

Great boot. Really comfortable, great support, look great, and are a quality product.

These are my favorite summer water shoes ever! They are extremely lightweight and I never had to break them in - I took them on a trip immediately after purchasing and never had any discomfort. I have Solomon Techamphibians and a few pairs of Chacos that I now never wear - and while I don't think these shoes are particularly good looking, the comfort is worth it.

These are great lightweight shoes and I love that my feet stay cool in warmer weather. I would say they are perfect, stylish shoes for kicking around town or a light walk/hike. I would still go to my Keens for an actual hike because the tread on these is pretty light. Fit is slightly larger than normal and great for wide feet and toes.

I am on my third pair and I love that these also look great with socks and jeans like regular sneakers, compared to some of their more funky looking, water-friendly counterparts. I agree they run a bit large. They have enough support to run in if you choose to, and the back folds down so you can slide into them, which I actually do quite a bit. I got my husband and my mom a pair - my mom wore hers out from all the use and kept them at her lake cabin, where they were perfect for on the boat or a mountain bike ride!

I wasn't looking for too much warmth, since I don't live in the Arctic. I got the hooded version in the gorgeous storm color and it ran pretty true to size. It is perfect for everyday wear and I traded it for my North Face Aconcagua - even though the Aconcagua is a lighterweight North Face down jacket, it was still too warm for me. The fabric on the Isis is a bit flimsier, but I think it helps to keep it light. Better cut for the female body - less boxy - and the sleeves aren't so wide. Good overall length for tall girls too. BONUS - the inside has a great floral lining that will make you happy every time you put it on!

I have this in brown and black and I wear them constantly since a full jacket is often too warm once you get indoors. The fabric is a bit shiny, which is too overwhelming on the full jacket, but looks cool on the vest. The fabric is durable and the weight is perfect. The quilted look helps you keep from looking too puffy and the fleece lined collar is cozy. I wish I could get a size between medium and large because the medium is more fitted but due to my height, 5' 9" I have to get a large. They should make it in green!

I bought an Aconcagua but never wore it because it's just too warm and the fabric has a shine that is overwhelming. That said, I wear the vest version constantly. The quality is awesome and I think this looks much better than the Nuptse, so I think it's a good buy if you live somewhere extremely cold or will be in the mountains a lot, as opposed to around town.

I had a black Denali in high school and college and wore it until it literally started to fall apart. It was wonderful quality and withstood constant washing and wear for years. However, now that I'm a bit older and the Denali had become so popular, I wanted something more streamlined and not quite so common, so I traded up from my second Denali for Patagonia Retro-X which is warmer, cuter, better fitting (think tall & lean) but admittedly not as comfy! North Face just tends to be boxy and I always have to get a large because of my height even though a medium in width is more suitable.

Or most fleece for that matter! This is cute, fits well, and is very comfortable. I would buy every color, with and without hoods, if I could afford it and replace my wool and even my cashmere sweaters because I would get way more wear our of this. I have sensitive skin so I rarely wear sweaters and this looks nice enough to wear to a casual work environment without the itch factor. I don't have thin arms and I love the long, lean fit, which it difficult for a 5'9" girl to find! It will even compensate for your low rise pants when you bend over!

These are comfortable and have the best tread - great for hiking or around town in the snow. I wear mine in the winter so I know I won't slip while holding my daughter like I will in my other comfy, go-to shoes, Dansko clogs. The Keens fit great and have great support.

I have had three different pairs of chacos and this style in the savory color were the last pair I purchased and then returned. I think I'm in the minority, but these sandals are tight, uncomfortable and take way too long to break in. Plus, I like the old style Colorado sole which was better in the water and more lightweight than the Unaweep. I have to admit, these look great, and I like wearing socks with them in the evening when camping, but it's not worth the pain. My first pair was donated to me by a friend, already broken in, and I have unsuccessfully been chasing my dream of another pair of comfy chacos. No more!

My hubby got me a pair of these and they are the best snow boots I've ever had - super warm, sturdy and best of all, easy to get on and off with all your snow gear on. He thinks I don't like them because I won't wear them to the grocery store when it snows, but they are just too warm. However, they are perfect for what they are intended for and I would highly recommend them! They will go under regular pants/jeans easily too, which is great for winter resort town wear.

The Patagonia capilene stuff is great - lightweight and way easier to take care of than my silk long underwear, which always snag on things. I have a crewneck as well that I wear under sweaters, but this style of top is great because I'm not a fan of full turtlenecks, so I like to keep it zipped up on blustery ski days or zip it down on warmer days so I don't overheat. These also withstand washing & drying without much wear & tear.

If it's possible to be addicted to a fleece, I am! I have three of these in different colors & my hubby is also up to three of the men's version. They are light enough to layer with or wear on their own and the best part is that they don't pill up like cheap fleece will. It's worth it to pay a little more for the quality - my oldest one still looks great, almost new! I do wish they were just a bit longer but I am fairly tall.

I've had my pair for a couple of years now and absolutely no complaints. These are easy to wash (just throw them in the washing machine), last forever, and you can wear them just about anywhere. If you looking for just a pure wading sandal get the Simms Keen wading sandal with a felt bottom, they are awesome.

Overall this is a great fleece, don't know if it's worth getting at full price though. Doesn't block wind very well and is a little bulky like others have said. I prefer my TNF Windwall 2 fleece, warm and it blocks the wind like a champ.

This thing is massive, you can stuff anything you want in here. Plenty of room, front pocket is great for organizing you pens, cards, ect. If you have a lot of books, folders, and gear you can haul it in here. Only reason I gave it 4 starts is becuase there is no handle, with a bag this big it needs to have it.

These are great! I had another pair of Keen clogs for a few years and they were all I wore. Finally needed a new pair and got these. Fit is very true to size, extremely comfortable and great support. Look good on the town or in the mountains.

Great alone on cooler days and works excellent under a shell when it gets colder. I'm 6'4" 210 lbs and the extra large fit great, but it is a relaxed fit like the description says.

Got the black as a gift for my wife and she loved it so much she went and bought another in brown. Inside is kind of rough, not as soft as I thought it would be. She always wears a large and this jacket was no different. This is her go to jacket for the winter in Utah.

Great jacket, does what it says it will and looks really good. I'm 6'4" and had no problem with the length, fits perfect. Highly recommend this jacket.
