Rating for this product: 5 January 3, 2010

I have worn these things at least 50 times in some heavy rain and these jokers are awesome. They are comfortable and keep you dry. They aren't stuffy unless it's really hot outside, but what water proof pants are? These rock for the price and are pretty tough to boot.

Black Diamond StormWeight Glove

Rating for this product: 1 December 27, 2009

Sucks. Ok these gloves are super baggy. They make your fingers look like dog skin. As soon as I got them that same day the clip that holds the gloves together fell off. I really don't like these gloves at all. I'll be returning these. They seem super cheap. Considering you can get something for the same price that is way nicer.

Mountain Hardwear Lamina 45 Sleeping Bag: 45 Degree Synthetic

Mountain Hardwear Lamina 45 Sleeping Bag: 45 Degree Synthetic

Rating for this product: 5 December 18, 2009

I'd let you punch me in the face if you didn't love this sleeping bag, but I know someone would just be like, I hate it, just to punch me in the face. Buy it, it's cheap, it's light, it compresses super small, and will keep you warm if it gets chilly and it's super comfy. I have used this on nights in the 30s with some clothes and it works. I have also just napped around the house in it, and taken it to 70s plus. I have a regular and I'm 5.5 hope this helps

Rating for this product: 4 December 18, 2009

The floor is like a v so..if your both tall one of you will have some feet near your face. I the ceiling height is something to be happy about and space in general. Very good design overall. I really wish it came with a floor print and also it doesn't compress very good. Great tent overall You won't regret buying it.

Rating for this product: 5 December 18, 2009

These are really comfortable and pretty warm. They are light so don't be expecting a ton of warmth from them. I have been wearing these with columbia omni-dry titanium rain pants and I have been super dry and warm. It's been raining like mad the last few weeks and about 35 or 40 outside. I tend to get chilly easy but these have done the job keeping me comfortable.

I use them for work everyday because I can't hike in them. They just don't fit right. Great shoe/boot they are super water proof and they never get stuffy. Awesome product just when I put on a pack and hit the trail they don't work. I like to wear them at work, I'm a mechanic and I am on my feet all day, they work good. Tough as nails also.

This thing is super nice. I'm 5.5 and about 150lbs and this thing fits great. I got a small and I can still fit two fleece under it pretty easy. It's nice but nothing I'd wear on every trip or around town to much. Has kinda a rubber like feel to the outside and the pit zips are pretty big in my opinion. It works good in stormy weather, it's been raining and near 80 around here lately and I've worn it a few times only to stay completely dry.

Rating for this product: 5 April 6, 2009

I really love this tent. I just got it the other day and took it out this weekend. It's super lite for how large it is and the double doors rock.. It kept the rain out just fine and the foot print works well. It's a great tent for the price and the size for sure. You should get a compression sack for it if you get the tent. Super easy to set up and clean out.

Osprey Packs Atmos 50 Pack - 2800-3200 cu in

Rating for this product: 3 April 6, 2009

It is a very nice pack. It's strong and very intelligently engineered.I thought I'd have trouble packing all my stuff since it's so small, but it fit a ton of stuff in it. I am 5.5 and 155 lbs and this thing is a good fit aside from the straps. Only other thing I don't like about it is that I cannot get into the waist pockets with the straps tight. Very good product overall. Just not made for somebody with thicker shoulders.Despite what many people told me about the straps breaking in, they didn't. After several more uses I just got tired of it hurting my shoulders. I am a mechanic and my shoulder muscles are just to big for this pack. It is great and super light and it makes me sad that it doesn't fit right, however it fits my dad pretty good so he'll make good use of it.
