Spy Soldier Goggle

Spy Soldier Goggle

Rating for this product: 1 January 23, 2011

These goggles are NOT sweet. They are WAY worse than my last pair of goggles, which cost $25 at Costco. They fog up -bad- and scratch easily. I wore them twice and already the lenses have several small scratches on them. Worst of all, they fog up really easily. Yesterday was an awesome powder day, my best day of the season so far. But I spent the entire day fighting the fog on these goggles. By the afternoon I gave up and skied without them, even though it was dumping and I kept getting snow in my eyes. At first I thought maybe it was the conditions but none of my friends were having issues. So despite the awesome deal I got on these gogs from Backcountry, back they go.

Is it the shirt or my armpits?

Stoic Merino Crew - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Stoic Merino Crew - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 July 11, 2010

This shirt fits well (if you like a clingy fit), is lightweight, breathes well, and functions well both as a baselayer in cold weather and as your only layer in summer. It is not a magical BO killer, though. After a hard day of hiking in it, it still smells funky. Admittedly not as bad as with polyester, but it definitely stinks.

Reading some of the reviews for this shirt, you'd think you could wear it for a week on the trail and still smell as fresh on day 7 as day 1. Not true, guys. (Unless I have some unusually radioactive underarm sweat, that is.) This shirt will pick up funk and does need to be washed regularly.

Still, it's a good shirt. If it wasn't so darn expensive I'd give it 4 stars. Try to get it on SAC for a better deal, like I did.

Very warm, run large

Black Diamond Mercury Mitten - Men's

Black Diamond Mercury Mitten - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 January 20, 2010

Got these for really cold skiing and backcountry days in Colorado. So far this winter I've only had to use them once, but they were nice: extremely warm, and they seem really well made. My only complaint is that they run really large. I usually wear a large glove or mitt, and the large in these is way too big, which makes them a little clumsy. I may try to trade them in for a medium, but I'd like to find somewhere to try the medium on before I pay shipping to send these back.

Nikwax TX-Direct Spray-On

July 26, 2009

I've tried using this on a lightweight rain jacket that has an outer nylon layer and an inner waterproof/breathable layer (not Gore-tex). I followed the directions and washed the jacket in tek wash, and then applied the spray as directed. I tested it, and water was NOT beading up on the jacket, so I tried applying it without washing first. But once again, water is still not beading up, just soaking into the outer nylon layer. Everyone has such great things to say about this stuff, I can't help but thinking I'm doing something wrong. Any suggestions?

Fantastic Boot

Scarpa Kailash GTX Boot - Men's

Scarpa Kailash GTX Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 29, 2009

These boots are incredibly comfortable, very well made, and very light (for what they are). It took me seriously only about 5 miles of walking around town to break them in. Since then I've had them out on the trail several times, in the water, scrambling up rocks, etc. They've stood up to everything. I climbed a steep (hands required) trail that snowmelt had turned into a waterfall this weekend and they kept my feet perfectly dry. I've had no blisters, no rubbing, nothing but perfect comfort. I honestly can say that about no other boot I've had. My feet are a bit narrow, so your experience might be different if your feet are wider. These boots feel true to size.
