Hot Chilly's Fleece Zip-T Top - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 5, 2007

This fleece top is super comfy and the perfect fit for a mid-layer on a cold day. Its lightweight and fits perfectly without any bulk or excess material. And its inexpensive compared to other top-name brands. It you want a no-frills, cozy fleece top for the slopes or just wearing around town, this is it.

Light and Flight

The North Face Bicom Jacket - Men's

The North Face Bicom Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 28, 2005

This is the lightest wind jacket that I have ever tried on. You can use it for any aerobic activity, and you won’t even know that you have it on. While I wouldn’t take it out in a driving downpour, it provides adequate protection in light-to-medium rain. The fleece-line collar is an added bonus, and feels nice and soft against your chin. I take this thing everywhere!

The North Face Flight Tee - Women's

The North Face Flight Tee - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 June 28, 2005

This shirt is a must-have for any fast aerobic activity where you are moving around a lot. It is nicely contoured to fit a women's upper body, yet doesn’t restrict like most tees that try to be "shaped". The material is super-wicking and will keep you dry, and is surprisingly soft against the skin. There is supposedly a stash pocket, but I don’t understand how it works because it’s upside down.

The North Face Flight Trail Short - Women's

The North Face Flight Trail Short - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 June 28, 2005

These shorts are super comfy for any run, whether on the trail or the road. The material is so light you don’t even know you are wearing shorts. The inner brief is a nice and soft fleecy material, and doesn’t chafe or rub at all. They are baggy but not long, the perfect combo. Get ‘em and start pumping those legs!

The North Face Hightail 900 Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down

The North Face Hightail 900 Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down

Rating for this product: 5 June 28, 2005

By far the most comfortable, lightest bag I have ever owned. It was like sleeping in a king's bed, the down is so plush and soft. It is also surprisingly comfortable in a range of temperatures. I slept in it during a 60F night, and not one drop of sweat. The only drawback is that you will never want to get out and get hiking and reach the peak.

The North Face El Cap Shirt - Women's

The North Face El Cap Shirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 June 28, 2005

This shirt is very versatile. You can wear it alone hiking in the summer, or as a base layer under your fleece while skiing in the winter. It’s also super breathable and light enough to be worn running and moving around a lot. Get the red color, and you'll never get lost from your friends. Bottom line: don’t leave home without it.

The North Face Prophecy Jacket - Women's

The North Face Prophecy Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 June 28, 2005

This is the lightest waterproof jacket I have tried on. The taped seams ensure that nothing gets through and the HyVent waterproofing material is terrific. I've worn this is a downpour and stayed as dry as a bone. A nice surprise is the little zippered stash pocket on the sleeve. Its perfect for keys, emergency whistle, tootsie rolls, whatever. If you see the clouds coming in, grab this jacket and you'll be happy.

The solution to winter running

32North STABILicers SPORT

32North STABILicers SPORT

Rating for this product: 4 January 25, 2005

If you find yourself addicted to running, and have to get out there even when the roads and sidewalks are covered in ice and snow, then these are the ideal accessory for you normal running shoes. The studs grip the ice and snow, making it very difficult to slip. However I have two complaints: 1) They are difficult to attach to your shoes, especially if you are between sizes. 2) The cleats seem to wear out very easily. Overall, they perform very well and will make any run enjoyable even in the worst winter conditions.

Oakley O Ring L/S Shirt - Womens

Rating for this product: 5 September 1, 2004

This is a great stylish shirt from Oakley. The O Ring design on the front is pretty cool and makes it look different from a regular t-shirt. It's super comfy and the cotton is soft. You might want to order a size larger than normal because it does have spandex in it.

Carb Boom Carbohydrate Energy Gel - Real Fruit

Carb Boom Carbohydrate Energy Gel - Real Fruit

Rating for this product: 5 July 30, 2004

This stuff is much better than GU or Clif Shots. Its not as sweet and I can actually swallow it without gagging first thing in the morning. Plus, its made with real fruit so it tastes nice and refreshing! My favorite flavor is apple cinnamon but they are all really tasty. Use it whenever you need some energy/calories before or during a workout but you can't stomach real food.

Champion Trail Runner

Montrail Masai Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Montrail Masai Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 26, 2004

The most comfortable, best-performing trail running shoes ever! I felt like a champion in these shoes, flying up and down the trails with no worries at all. Nice cushioning and lightweight, so you can wear them on the roads too. Also very breathable for those hot summer days. I would recommend these for anyone who likes to hit the trails hard, but doesn't want to sacrifice speed or performance.

Took a tumble

Montrail Vitesse Trail Running Shoe - Mens

Montrail Vitesse Trail Running Shoe - Mens

Rating for this product: 2 July 22, 2004

I was not happy with these shoes. First of all, they are incredibly stiff with little cushioning. I would not recommend wearing them on the roads at all (even for a short 1-2 mile warmup before the trail). Second, the tread is wimpy. I took them out for a trail run, and I wiped out 3 times -- and it was only about a 6 mile run. The only redeeming quality was that they seemed to have good rock protection in the sole...but I really needed that protection on my whole body, not just the bottom of my feet.
