This shirt has snap buttons, not the regular button through a slit type fastening. Same for the hands. The buttons feel strong and not flimsy. After wearing it for a week, they don't show any sign of breaking in. I like the slightly stretchy material and is light weight and very breathable. The material is also slightly water resistant. I splashed some water on my face and drops that hit the shirt, rolled off with absorbing. It isn't water proof but has some water resistance.

The price is ridiculous. Luckily I picked this one up for a third of the cost from SaC. For a light-weight travel shirt with more features, the ex-officio line does a better job and Arc'teryx is more formal. I don't think the Envoy shirt is meant for hiking/backpacking. For heavy outdoor use, I would recommend ex-officio, which is what I use and they are lighter than this shirt for much less $$$.

I found the sleeves to be slightly longer than most shirts and the size of the wrists are much bigger. The wide radius sleeve slides well with my fat watch on the wrist.

The zipped break pocket is a touch and is good to keep any item in there safely without worrying if the item will fall out.

The jacket is an excellent shell. Very good upgrade from the layering system using hardshells. I stayed warm with a t-shirt and this jacket at 10F, no strenuous activity. I can't imagine doing any activity in this since I would overheat in a heartbeat. It is a perfect shell and not very material is not very breathable. The chest pockets are ideal to keep your hands warm if you don't have gloves on . If you don't sweat a lot or overheat when exercising, then this will be good while hiking/backpacking. If you do sweat/overheat, you will be wet under the jacket with any activity and that is bad. For a wider range of activities I would recommend a lighter weight material for a soft shell. It isn't necessary to layer with this jacket; it is all the layering you would need unless the temp dropps down very low much lower than the 10F I tested it at, for a week. Excellent for casual use around town. It is very stylish. Show those TNF kiddies what a real jacket is. I wish I had a arm/bicep pocket.I picked up this jacket from SaC and think the SaC price is a good number. Full price, hell no...

I put about 300 miles on my redrock shoes before giving them up for some legit trekking boots for long trips and trail runners for short trips. Further more, these are not water proof which I ignored while purchasing.

Plusesarch support out there. This shoe is only for very light short hikes on smooth terrain. Also great for walking around/street. Feet remain cool with the mesh construction.

Cons:
Sole is too soft and gets softer with time. If the ground below is rocky then the sole deforms too much and hurts the foot.
Unsuitable for backpacking. If you are going to carry a pack on your back and head out, there is zero sole rigidity.

I used these for about three months and have a 100 miles or so on the boots. These took 15 miles to properly break in.

They are NARROW, so get a while size bigger to accommodate for feet swelling and socks and narrowness. I usually wear a 10-10.5 and got a 11.5. The sole is strong and uneven terrain doesn't hurt my foot. I wouldn't recommend this boot though. If the bigger size means not slippage of the foot in the shoe, then that will result in blisters from friction. Pick another boot if you are interested in using a shoe for a lot of backpacking.

The nasal bridge is too narrow. Might be good if you have a thin bridge. I don't have a fat bridge and these sit in front of my face (not snug). It is quite obvious the coverage on these are not as good as glasses that have more curved lenses.
Since the finish on these glasses is mirrored, NEVER leave them idle near any surface that may scratch them, I scratched my pair by not putting them in the carrying bag. Once scratched the coolness of the 'plasma fire' makes it look like some cheap knockoff.

Also agree with Johnny Hudson's review although it isn't plastic, but magnesium :) Not that the frame material matters to me.

If you want a proper hiking shoe, this is definitely not it. This chaco's sole is far too soft and is a light-hiking shoe where the terrain is smooth. It offers no protection from the ground below. So if there are rocks and other sharp objects below, it will hurt the foot.
Not a bad casual shoe for around town. The solves are soft and comfortable for walking around. If you are interested in hiking, there are tonnes of better options at less cost. I moved on from this shoe after about 200 miles.

The pullover is very comfortable. Much softer than I thought it would be and it is warrn. Quite stylish except for the oddly placed prana signage.

It is a very very well constructed jacket and breathable. I haven't tested it out every winter condition, but so far it seems great. Good for slim people. I find the chest pockets a bit odd. Would have liked it to be a little lower and towards the outside just in case I want to warm/rest my hands.

I usually fit well into an XL, but this XL was massive. Had to get a large which is snug.

I don't go hiking without it any more. The jackets folds into nothing and can fit into a cargo pocket in the pant. If it gets really cold outside, less than 20F (with wind), then I need to layer properly. The pac-lite isn't as breathable as the gore tex pro-shell.

Styling wise ARc'Teryx is hard to beat. The extra cost comes in for the water proof pockets/zips, which is soooo worth it. I can walk around with my phone, wallet, electronic keys on my pocket in the rain. Have used it for snow tubing and it worked wonderfully.

I have at least a dozen brands of boxer briefs and the UA boxer briefs are the best. If I do any outdoor activity that involves sweating or 'friction', then I only wear the UA breifs. Chaffing free, dry and they look great. It is like a second skin, perpetually friction free.

Never go back to cotton!
