Great Gloves!

Stoic Forge Glove

Rating for this product: 5 December 28, 2011

I got these as a gift for my Dad and he loves them. Took them out on a 17 degree day and said they were just fine! Comfortable fit and great colors(White/Orange)! Got him a size large which he is in most gloves, they fit a tiny bit tight at first but were already feeling more broken in after a few uses....Enjoy!

Great helmet and really comfortable. The removable pads make it really convenient to be able to change up what you wear underneath in case it's too hot or too cold. Clean lines and overall great look.

Fantastic Shoes

Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra 2 Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra 2 Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 18, 2011

I bought these shoes for my brother as a gift and this is what he had to say about them:
This shoe has an amazing fit and all around support for people with medium or slightly narrow feet (may be snug on people with wide feet). Considering the stiff support and durable outer (waterproof) - this is one of the lightest durable trail shoes I have ever seen. The lacing system is very efficient - you get an even snug fit with a simple slide of the lace tightener and combined with the lace cover on the tongue - it is a great system (convenient and functional). The overall fit and weight of this shoe make it a great choice and while it shouldn't matter as much to trail runners - you have to admit that this is a fantastic looking shoe (I have the deep blue/black).

This boot is amazing! The style is hands down undeniable and the function of the boot is key-perfect for trenching around in the snow or out and and about all over town. I have the black and whoa does it make shoveling the driveway look goooooood. Enjoy!

Once you get this pack dialed in on your size and all the items you like on a long run...it's awesome. Recommend taking it out on test run to make all the adjustments prior to just heading out on a big run...it can be annoying until then.

Rating for this product: 5 March 9, 2010

I love this capri-unlike general cotton that will stretch and become baggy on you throughout a workout/ running around...this capri stays true to form while still being super comfortable. Not too mention it's still looks nice after many washes... doesn't fade or get worn down.

This is the easiest base/over layer out. I use this for snowboarding, running, after the gym... anything. It's lightweight but keeps you warm while still being breathable. Highly recommend for all activities. Its a longer cut and the thumbholes make it easy to slip coats over.

Rating for this product: 5 December 24, 2009

I put my little nephew in this in and he loved it! He is just under 12 months so I got him the 18 month. Even though the suit looked big, it fit just right and plenty of room to grow into. The flaps over the hands and feet make it so he's warm and dry and it's easy to pop the hands/feet in and out.Great buy at a great price!

Rating for this product: 5 September 23, 2009

Recently used this tent for the first time in souther UT. Not only was it easily assembled at night, it withheld on again off again rain storms that blew in every direction all weekend long. The tent has small storage pockets and ample amounts of room. The extra vestibule is awesome as well. Highly recommend this tent!

Luxury Car Camping

Therm-a-Rest Dream Time Sleeping Pad

Therm-a-Rest Dream Time Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 5 September 21, 2009

This pad is almost funny how comfortable it is! If you want to drive to a campground through up your 4-6 person tent and have a pillow fight...this is the mattress pad that will give you the bouncy bounce you need. I took two of the XL's thinking they would fit in my Big Anges Emerald Mtn 2 person tent (http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Big-Agnes-Emerald-Mountain-SL2-Super-Light-Tent-2-Person-3-Season/BAG0060M.html)
-that was just a joke...one almost covered the entire floor, the other had to curve up the side of the tent to avoid overlapping discomfort. Not for the packing trek but awesome for the family outing, mallo roasting, pillow fights...enjoy!

Mountainsmith Spectrum Camera Bag

Mountainsmith Spectrum Camera Bag

Rating for this product: 5 September 10, 2009

It's padded and comfortable for all day treks. It does not look like a camera bag which makes it less of a burgler target. The top compartment holds lots of additional items such as lunch. The bottom compartment easily holds a canon rebel, an 18-55mm lens, a 55-250mm lens, the charger and caps (could also probably hold a couple filters).

Honey Stinger Energy Gel - 24 Pack

Rating for this product: 5 August 18, 2009

This was the first gel pack I have experienced and luckily it was a good one. The taste was not bad, very similar to sucking back some honey (surprise!) The gel was perfect for the middle of my century, really gave my system back what it needed to keep going.

Tried a different gel pack last weekend-couldn't do it, I recommend Honey Stinger hands down.

Rating for this product: 5 August 18, 2009

I had the Fruit Smoothie flavor...thought the variety would be nice-the taste was awesome, especially if you are a fan of gummy snacks. I recently went on a ride where I had cliff blocks...the honey stingers are much easier to chew while riding, taste better and get you what you need. Other brands tend to make it almost difficult to breathe and chew at the same time...yikes! Highly recommended...so good you will want to eat them as an everyday snack!

Rating for this product: 5 February 10, 2009

I bought these for my day trip snowmobile rides. Very lightweight and easy to pack. The poles make any steep incline a breeze and the traction teeth under the entire base make slipping very hard to do. The snowshoes I got came in black, a much sleeker look-I really like the Denali Combo Snowshoe Set, highly recommended for all levels of outdoor enthusiasts!!
