I originally intended to pick up the TNF Enduro belt 2 for bike commuting and running, when I stumbled upon this. Overkill for the purpose needed but the thought of additonal storage, water and travel possibilities got the best of me. Overall, nice day pack or extended ride sag wagon.

Definetly a meal for two! Good and filling. A tasty addition to the menu!!!

All thats missing is two pancakes and sausage!!! Tasty with a few peppers and onions. Good start to a full day of hiking!!!

Definetly not mamas but 30 miles in the backcountry @ 36 degs was one hell of a warm meal!!! Better than I anticipated and a hit as bait with the Trout in GNP, which was another good meal in itself!!!.....Good Stuff!!!

I just bought these for my wife who hates highend specs, always opting for cheap sunglasses. She loves my stingrays but finds them big on her face. These just as my stingrays, are great driving glasses and perfect outdoors. Light weight, and look fantastic! I buy a lot of glasses on a whim but am always blown away with the polarization of MJ lenses. Like high def!!! I like that they are not gender specific because now I can finaly steal hers for a change.

If your in the sun out on the boat, a pier or in the surf, You need one of these. Year round in Fl, the sun beats down on you fiercely! These shirts repel the rays, keep you cool and just look great! Light weight for a long sleeve and when soaked, dry quickly. Durable material washes well and is comfortable. And, did I tell you how good you look in it!!!.....Nice!

Pricey here!!! Picked up the black and grout at BPS for $20.00 a piece on sale. They do wick away moisture and dry well without the funk smell! Comfortable and wear well. They are not light but fit the bill!!!

Im a fan of columbia sportswear. Just like all of their clothing, these shorts are light weight, durable and fit great. UPF protection is a plus, and although I bought them for outdoors use, I find myself using them everyday. They are not bulky or heavy, dry well and keep you cool in the Florida sun. I did find them a little cheaper at BPS, but still a good price here for quality without going broke. Primary use: Fishing

Yeah, its a hat! big deal! But I do tend to show pride in the gear I use and reccomend.

Does what its suppose to, keeps the ears warm and cozy! Great with a ball cap!!!

After 26 years As a customer service agent for the majors, I pretty much laugh at locks on luggage. You can put the biggest padlock on your suitcase and any thief can punch the zipper with a knife or key to open it and re-zip it without damaging your bag or alerting you. Additionaly, we find more of these laying around the airport with your zipperpulls still connected after they were caught and ripped apart from your bag in the process destroying your luggage. The TSA will generaly inspect your bag in your presence at point of contact avoiding their use anyway. Based on expeirience, I always reccomend carrying all your valubles on your person and to avoid turning your luggage into a charm braclet of locks and oversized novelty tags that will catch onto every conveyor system, belt loader, cart or become the grabbing point of the handler tossing it 20ft to the next! Believe it or not, two slim straps wrapped in a cross around your bag are more of a deterent to thieves and secure your bag from opening than any lock I have encountered!!! In this pic: A few of the many I encounter Ripped off or the cause of damage to baggage!

I just recently bought these in multiple sizes primaraly to clip my work ID to a lanyard and jacket. These are great! they are more attractive than a biner, slimer and easier to access or remove. I use the mini on a zipper pull on my jacket which helps avoid a caribner hitting me in the face during high winds. The larger doubles as a key chain or ID lanyard. Strong and light, a cool item!!!

My primary arsenal of multitools consists of leatherman products, but you cant deny the simplicity, light weight and portability of the Ranger! The cork screw, scissors and tweezers were the core of my uses. The version I have is less the saw. I have had this knife for many years and have just recently passed it on to my son, who will hopefully not cut himself as the blades have remained sharp! These knives are made to last forever with little maintenace. And despite the (cool tools) on the market have remained a part of everyones outdoor expierence.

Still putting it through its trials, but I am impressed! For an everyday wearer, its been pretty durable. Based on its reviews, its price for quality is well worth it! Light weight, accurate and up to now very dependable. Altimiter function is neat. Love the alarm! Compass is better than expected. Backlight is pefect! Took the advice of many and read the manual cover to cover which I also concur will add to your expeirence. I know it should not replace the essentials, but it comes pretty darn close! I haven't had this much fun with a watch since I had that calculator watch in the 80s!!!

4 pairs of shades in 1!!! Great quality and interchangeability! Perfect in all light, with good polarization! Comfortable with good fit, and the case with storage was a plus! For the price, definatly a good deal!!! Was a die-hard Oakley fan but these have swayed me!!!

I have used Leathermans for years, and prior to this one used both the Surge and Fuse. The latter 2, although excellent just seemed too heavy to hike with so I would slum it with my swiss army camper. This Leatherman fits the bill! Its compact, light weight and small enought to pocket without being a minature! Its a bit limited but it carrys the necessary essentials and leatherman quality! Great choice for a good packable multi-tool!!!

Having this on my belt is like having a Breitling on your wrist!!! This has got it all! Its heavy and bulky but its got a butt load of tools!!! I paid more for mine so your getting a good deal here. I love the locking mechanism and the blades are cut ur nuts off sharp! Comes with a bit holder for the additonal drivers and torx bits which are pretty durable and the nylon sheath just makes it look dress up classy! This is number five in my leatherman collection and the best I've had!!!

A buddy of mine has one of these. Worked pretty well in direct sunlight. Charged his cell and GPS which we used for three days. I liked it but picked up the Solio Mono which was less expensive and its worked out pretty well for my Ipod and cell. Convienent design allows me to loop it to the shoulder strap on my pac to recharge. Neat item!!!

Definitly a classic pot! Had mine for years and it still perking! Brews a good cup o joe and is a mandatory piece of base camp gear.

Tried these before settling on the TNF Vindicator GTX. This is a light weight and very comfortable shoe, but had more of a high top sneaker feel than a hiking shoe. The Vindicator seemed to have a stiffer feel and a better Vibram sole. It also seemed it was built sturdier and for the same price. Not knocking it, but it just didnt feel durable or like it would last long.

If you want a good looking boot thats comfortable, water resistant and light weight at a good price, this is it!!! Comfort right out of the box, Used them for a week touring Spain, didn't suffer the hotspots I usually get with a new boot. Very light! You wont be dissapointed!!!

Heavier than my other boons, but a lot more durable. The brim is wider and the chin strap is definetly more durable and cinches more securely than Mil spec versions. I have the light khachi color. The sun protection is great as the wider brim keeps your head, neck and shoulders covered. Buy for the quality!!!

Durable light weight material. Fit nicely and are very comfortable. Use them for fishing but find I am wearing them more casually!

Tweaking this post as I have bought more!!!Definetly worth the price! light wgt and packable. They breath well fit comfortably. They are great for travel especialy in countries were us yanks wear shorts out sightseeing but may need to convert to pants in order to conform to customs. Love the fit and they dry well!!!

Cycling in Florida in the summer you sweat up a storm. These are the Perfect sodium boost!!! Helps me prevent cramping or bonking on long rides, They taste great and fill you up! For hiking, they beat mixing trail mix although i miss the peanut m&ms!!!

I really wanted a good quality hitch mounted rack but was not willing to part with $200 plus. I also had a phobia of my precious ride falling off the rack or someone rear ending me. This was perfect! Easy install on my truck, my carbon beauty secure in the bed, couldnt ask for more. Quality design, holds securely and can be utilized with a cable lock for short stops. Very economical!!!

Havent found a flavor i dont like yet! I take one on my bike rides every morning which has become my breakfast. And like some of the others here, i find myself living on them and replacing other snacks in lieu of them. Plenty of protien and carbs. plenty of boost!!! Try them!!!

Definetly needed to keep your bottle flowing but $35.00? I paid $50.00 for the whole bottle!!!

I bought the tent at BPS, on clearance 2 years ago for solo hiking and could'nt be happier. Its light weight, a breeze to set up and a solid performer. I got it for about $20.00 less and even at this price its still a bargain based on comparative models. Additionaly, I also have the crestone 2 which is larger with the same features and an additional door. Definitly a great buy!!!

In my 25 years in the airline industry, I have only seen a few bags that could handle the abuse dished out by a rouge baggage handler. This is one of them. I have never in my time seen a damage claim on one of these. In my enviorment, the straps dont shred the duffle is vitually puncture proof and between the heavyduty zippers,velcro closures and strapping, its burst proof. From a baggage handlers point of view, Highly reccommeded!!!

I work for the airlines, and these whistles where issued to us in a new safety directive to be carried at all times. "Its a whistle" big deal, Right! Its a whistle that can be heard over a running jet engine!!! I copped a few extras and now use it as my primary safety whistle. Its light and loud!!!

I just purchased these to wear in combination with my Columbia light shell. Together, I can stow them both in my packs rain cover pocket and have a ready to wear rain system quickley available. Just like the jacket, these pants are breathable, waterproof and block the wind. I am currently using them in place of my workgear because they are so much lighter than my issue system and are not cheap or flimsy but actually durable!!! They have pass throuh pockets and a velcro adjustable hem Which allows me to eliminate gaiters in wet vegitation. Bottom line, if your looking for good quality rain system that is light weight, packable, durable, wind resistant and a good value consider these. I will be buying an additional pair for work so I dont ruin my dedicated kit!!!

A light weight tent without having to be a minimalist. Simple to set up and cost less than its competitors, the crestone 2 is more than adequate. It might not have all the bells and whistles Its nearest competitors claim, but it is durable and reliable. Its low cost makes it a resonable choice$$$.

I have also owned and used the crestone 1, which is also a great low cost solo hiker tent.

I am a solo hiker, but bought this set as i am introducing my kids to hiking. Perfect setup for two which aleviates your partners additional set. To help with the questions below, you can fit an MSR Pocket rocket and a 3.53oz Jetboil canister (not included) along with a bic lighter in this setup. The rocket is out of its case and is protected in the set. I got one of the first sets which did not come with the sporks, so your getting a bonus with this kit. This set heats quickly, evenly and cleans real well. I love it!!!

Bought this to replace the one that came with my seyvlor raft. Works great and gives you a free workout.

Very warm. Very durable. Knuckle padding is a plus. Waterproof and breatable without making your hands sweat.

Fit perfectly in my cook system. performance is good. I have used these in 10 deg weather and have had no issues lighting.

This is the only knife i have never had to take care of. Its been around the world, used and abused and is almost as sharp as the day I bought it. Although I have a collection of Leathemans, This is the only corkscrew in the bunch!!! Highly recommended as an emergency survival knife.

My goto glasses for any action sport. The've got great coverage and are comfortable. Interchangeable lenses are always a plus.

Its all fun and games until u smash a $100.00 plus pair of sunglasses due to your own stupidity. Been there-done that!!! Im on my second pair of Ms, and when they are not on my skull they are in this case! Great protection and spare lense storage. Albiet, Oakley should supply these instead of sleeves for all their eyeware.

I bought these to use as a camp shoe on my hikes. A little heavier than I wanted but they were excellent as spare hikers. waterproof. they drain well due to mesh sides and holes in the bottom, but what sold me were the treads on the bottom which gripped real well even on slippery rock! The only thing I dislike about them is the insoles(which are removable) curl up and slide backwards. would reccommend replacement with a Dr scholes insert for better comfort. I also use them as a fishing shoe both in salt and freshwater and have had no problems whatsoever with discoloration or wear. Highly reccommend for boating!!!

This was actually given to me by a friend. Excellent warm weather rain shell, even in a down pour!!! Very light and breathable. Vents real well. Packs small. Great as an emergency wind or rain jacket.

When you pay this much for quality eyeware, you want quality protection. I own vaults for both my oakleys and they are indestructible. Highly reccommend them!!! I only wish this case came with the clip to attach to belt loops or pack like the M or Radar series.

Bought these for hiking. Light weight and snug fitting. They look awesome and the polarized lenses are fantastic. They are great outdoorsman glasses perfect for fishing, biking. Dont forget to buy the vault case for protection. you wont regret it!!!

These glasses are the shiz!!! They kick my Oakley flak jackets buns. The polarizaion is like high def. Fit is great, and they make ugly people look good!!! Seriously, the style is great and these lenses rock!!!

I bought one of these at walmart in yellow for $9.99!!! The fact that Coleman now brands it "Exponent",colors it in gray and retails it for twice the price is criminal. Its light weight and packable. It has a direction shield and makes a great tent light as it has a hanger. I replaced the Oem batteries with lithiums and a year later it still lights after two hikes. Its a great hiking lantern, but dont get rooked into paying twice the price for the Exponent name. Go get it at walmart. Besides, bright yellow is high visibility when your digging for it in your pack at night.

The one tool for just about any emergency. I own 4 Leathermans from the Squirt to the Charge. The Core is my main go to for any minor repairs. The blade is razor sharp, the pliers are always handy as are the drivers. The cores tools are just about normal tool size for better handling. But yes, it is heavy!!!. For hiking I switched to the Juice s2 which is about half its size and has a limited number of tools better suited for backpackers who want a good size multitool at half the weight. Theres a Leatherman suited for everyone. GET ONE!!!

I typically only wear ball caps in lieu of wool ski caps in the winter so my ears do suffer. I can wear this with an i-pod ear bud and keep them as well as my cap securely fastened to my skull. Warm and cozy.

I am also an avid hiker who was looking for a winter system that was warm yet light enough to pack as well. I bought this jacket along with an all weather pant for my last trip to glacier NP. Temps in the mountains dropped to about 36 degs with rain and light snow. Of the 7 of us that made the trek, I was the only one warm and dry! This jacket was cofortable with a pack on, and when i didn't need the shell the zipout fleece was perfect. Its a good quality cozy jacket. water and wind proof and with the pit zips, very breathable. I just need to figure out how to keep my wife from stealing it!!!

I bought this pack in black for my highschool aged daughter so she wouldn't have to carry a bulky purse around campus. After a few uses she discarded it saying " it wasnt big enough for my stuff" I wanted a small pack for work and "heck" I paid for it!!! so i took it back and now use it for work and play daily. Short of the pandora name on it, I love it! Its compact, yet holds alot of man stuff. I use it as my primary day pack on hikes and down here in Orlando FL, it holds all the family stuff at the theme parks. Its great for mountain biking, its low profile and with a full sternum and waist strap very snug. I dont recommend it for school aged kids for books and school supplies, "it is small" but its a perfect alternative purse or in my case day pack. Here, I am using it in Spain.

Used this puppy for four hikers in montana. I was told it was crappy in cold temps but it performed flawlessly. Each of us packed our own fuel cannister figuring alot of fuel consumption. and we only used 3/4s of a can. This thing is the cats meow!!! Light weight inexpensive, fuel savvy, it packs anywhere, its easy to use and maintain, and it looks cool as s@%T. I could kick myself for carrying a coleman 501 around for so long!!!

Great bottle. I miss it dearly. It was beautiful! It clipped to my pack and fit so nicely in my 4x4 cup holders it didnt leak (sigh!) If I ever find the s%#tbag who took it, I'll make sure he stays hydrated with the fishes permanent like see!!!

I havent even used this pack yet but was amazed at what i could fit in it. The last pack i used was an 85L Gelert explorer (which i still love) that i used on a 2 day hike at Glacier National Park. That pack total weight for that trip was 75LBS. I probably used a third of the crap i loaded in it and therefore decided to find a midsize pack to downsize and lighten the load for shorter excursions. I am not a minimalist and enjoy my comfort even on short trips. Before i took the tags off i decided to preload this pack. In the sleeping bag compartment alone, i currently have a kelty crestone 1 solo tent, a Karrimorr global traveller 700 sleep bag, a GSI dualist cook set with propane cannister and a msr pocket rocket stove. I also have a Katadyn hiker water filter and a small coleman 3 aa cell lantern. In the main compartment I have preloaded 2 full changes of clothes a waterproof shell, a 3L camelback resovoir( with 1.5L of water) and about 4 pounds of dead wgt to simulate food and miscl items and this pack is still asking for more!!! I havent weighed this load yet but when i slipped this pack on I could'nt believe how comfotable and balanced this pack was on my back!!! Excellent buy at a good price for a pack of this quality.

Compact and quick set up. Water has no after taste. Used it in Montana on a 4 day backcountry trip and this one unit kept 4 hikers hydrated. Flow was better than expected. Highly recommend for piece of mind.

I have this bottle clipped to my pack. its real convienient on the go. And although i use the hiker pro filter on all backcountry trips this bottle is quick and easy to fill from a stream or a public fountain. Used this as a backup in europe and africa where bottled water during a tour or hike was pricey or unavailable. Great for hotels in those 3rd world spots where i can quickly filter the tap just for brushing my teeth.Bottomline: it works!!!
