Pros: windstopper and still breathes well, sheds water well.

Cons: Not at all warm, baggy fit

Im not sure when youd ever want this jacket. It seems like its perfect for 60+ degree days, but then you dont really need a jacket, or theres much lighter/smaller options for those days you just need an outer layer. Bottom line is that theres better options at the price point.

Pros: Warm, Amfib (wind and water blocking) chest and outer arms, fits nicely, durable

Cons: None at all

This jacket is a must buy. It doesnt feel super warm, but once you get moving in it, you realize the jacket and base layer is perfect for cold weather activity. The amfib front is perfect in the cold and I wear it as an outer layer on hikes all the time. Tree branches do no harm. The non amfib fabric is a nice mesh, that regulates your body temp very well on rides. Couple this jacket with Amfib tights and youll be able to handle even the coldest windest days in the saddle. I was hesistant to buy at 160, but would gladly pay 260 for one now that I've owned one

Pros: Bright, 4 modes, reasonable price

Cons: adjustments are in clicks, and sometimes an angle thats on the click would be perfect

Decent headlamp, works well and the battery life is solid for 3 AAA. Im doubting the 150 hours, and the first 10 hours are very bright, then the rest of them are kind of middling. As stated in other reviews, this is a solid pick at this price point.

Pros: Lightweight, breathable, supportive, comfy, good rubber.

Cons: Can't really think of any.

These are my go to shoes. They are lighter and breathe better than the XA 3d pros, they are cheaper than the S Lab Wings, all without being too heavy or sacrificing too much support. I have flat feet and these offer enough support to keep my shins from screaming 2 miles in. Also fantastic for fast and light hikes. If you own one pair of Salomons, own these.

Pros: Light, comfy, rain cover included, cooler (temperature) on the back than others Ive used, frame is light and effective, really like the fit on my back.

Cons: Side pockets arent very stretchy and it makes it difficult to pull out water w/o stopping. The inside of the hip straps chafe my hips.

I bought this bag as a day pack, as a switch from my bigger bags. Im impressed with it. It sits well on my shoulders and the padding on the straps is not bulky and still comfortable. The back padding is well ventilated and doesnt hold a lot of sweat. it comes with a rain cover (or at least mine did) I really like the top storage as there are 2 separate pockets there. the top zipper you can see in the pic and then another on the side. As stated above the side pockets are pretty tight and I cant easily It does have the option for a camelback bladder though. All that being said this is my go to bag and Id highly recommend it.

Pros: Inexpensive, durable, lots of external storage

Cons: Not super light, no rain cover included, the hip straps rip my hips apart. The Verti-Cool is more of marketing ploy.

I really this bag. Its huge and the side straps allow you to keep it small if you dont need all the space. I love the spandex-esque pockets in the front and side. The bag has firm padding and the frame is very basic but it certainly gets the job done. I has large external pockets, but they dont have elastic tops, so stuff can fall out (Lots of dented Sigg bottles). I'd call this a pretty basic bag. I wouldn't take it on a week long trip, but a weekend backpack trip? For sure! The one thing I really hate is the mesh material on the inside of the straps, it basically a cheese grater on long hikes, does a number on my hips and clavicles. For the money, I can't think of a better bag.

Pros: Breathable, quick break in period, great rubber (see below), durable

Cons: Fairly wide, lacing system slips, not very supportive, s

These shoes handle every thing I can throw at them. They are great dry condition shoes, not so great in wet conditions. My big problem is the foot bed is very flat, and at the end of a 30 mile day, they just dont get the job done. Short (<10 miles) hikes are right in this shoe's wheelhouse. I try and hike fast and light, so boots dont really play into my situation. If you have wide feet and live in the desert, these shoes are for you. If you have flat feet and live in a damp area or a place with winter melt until June, might want to look elsewhere.

Pros: Price, fairly light, packs to a reasonable size

Cons: might be a little tight

I bought this bag when I was on a budget try to outfit my self for a back packing trip on a budget. I haven't bought a replacement. Its a nice bag that Ive slept in just underwear down to around 30. I woke up in the morning and I could see my breath, was warm with the hood pulled. It is a bit tight on the sides though, but its not meant to be a king sized bed. I like it a lot but can't give it a 5. Bonus points for the mesh bag and compression sack included. I certainly feel like Im getting my moneys worth.

Pros: Comfy, supportive, love the lacing, keeps the feet away from the elements.

Cons: We all know Goretex isnt that breathable. That being said, my feet may stay dry from the rivers and streams, but they sweat like crazy in these.

I disagree with the previous review. I have a letter from a well known shoe company thats 4 letters long that told me their warranty does not apply to me as Im too hard on their shoes. No problems here and I now have a nice collection of Salomons. I have flat feet and these mitigate that better than any other shoe Ive run in other than my old pair of Pearl Izumi that were motion control. 4 stars for the price and fact they dont breathe all that great

Pros:
Lightweight, easy to set up, does great in the rain, packs up very small w/o poles
Cons:
Condensation

This tent is perfect for a long weekend trip but I wouldnt want to spend more than 2 nights in a row in it. As others have commented, the condensation is brutal. I have made it into the habit of waking up and wiping down the inside to try and avoid putting it away wet. I have slept in it in the pouring rain and woken up dry though, so it does do well in protecting you for the elements. If youre looking for something light over everything else, this is your tent.

Pros:
Sweet red color, as light as slippers, breathable

Cons:
Price isn't justified by performance.

Overall I got these shoes for the color. I have a pair of XA Pro 3d Ultras and a normal pair of XT Wings. Salomon makes the best shoes I've ever worn, they are like gloves for your feet. I love these shoes but I don't think $40 dollars more than the normal ones is quite worth it. If red is your thing, buy them and don't think twice, if you can live without it, get the regular XT Wings. I do think they are noticeably lighter if that helps at all.
