We have 3 of these in the XL. You can pack this thing full, it is rugged & durable. The backpack straps are fantastic for traveling solo as they allow for other luggage to be carried or rolled behind you. You have to watch though, I can easily stuff this to be over 50 lbs, especially when filled with winter clothing, which is more than most air carriers allow, unless you are willing to pay extra.

I have a pair of Nike Road Biking Shoes & these babies. These are by far my favorite - the clicking mechanism allows for proper fit and comfort around my foot. I live in Florida & the light color also allows for cooler riding as the sun attracts to the dark colors.

I've had this top for about a year now. I wear it regularly with a long sleeve tissue tee underneath during the fall & spring when outdoors. I don't recommend for skiing or rugged outdoor activities - the polartec isn't the best breathable material available on the market. The fit is true to size & slim cut.

I have had this jacket for about a year - in Lime Green. This is the perfect puffer coat for those cold winter errands or walking the dog. It washes easily at home and runs true to size. I love this jacket & can't count the compliments I have received when wearing.

I received these as a gift. They are good for day hikes, lightweight & insulated but they are not Gore-tex so a little dampness is expected. They run smaller and the waist is a little awkward. I use them for the light stuff but not the heavy lifting.

I put these in my Salomon trail running shoes & they provide added support for my high arched feet. I recommend, but cannot guarantee they are the right support for all types of feet as arches vary.

I received this jacket as a gift in early December. I wore on day hikes & during errands in the Pacific NW. It is lightweight & the eVent (Gore-tex's main competitor) adds major credibility as it repels water just the same. The colors are a big too 'girly' but the jacket is overall very functional & versatile for use.

I've had this kayak for about a year and a half. I've spend most the time in the mangroves, on the Bay or in the Gulf of Mexico. It is very steady & light enough for me to carry. The bonus compartments allow for an anchor, first aid kit, extra clothing, water & food for the trip.

Being a 'store' brand, I was impressed with the detail, cut & fabric, runs true to size which was a bit surprising. This is most def a layering piece, but can be put with a t-shirt underneath & looks great with jeans & hiking boots.

I run 1/2 marathons...on pavement...
I paced my 57 year old Dad in the Massanutten Mountain 100 for 25 miles through rain, streams, mud & sludge in these babies. Gore-tex kept my feet dry all night & design allowed for flexibility over rocks! True to size - break in before use.

Paired with SuperFeet, these boots fit my foot perfectly. I use them on day hikes, have strapped on snowshoes & wear them all throughout the winter with jeans.
