Extremely comfortable

Columbia Hipster Twister Sport Tank Top - Women's

Columbia Hipster Twister Sport Tank Top - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 August 4, 2008

The Hipster Twister is super soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking. And the built-in bra is surprisingly supportive. I'm a 34C and I can wear this top to the gym and on bike rides without feeling like I need a sports bra underneath. Obviously for running, I'd need some backup. The only bummer about this top is that it stretches out after a sweaty workout. I have to wash it after every workout if I want it to return to its normal shape.

Osprey Packs Ariel 65 Backpack - Women's - 3800-4200cu in

Osprey Packs Ariel 65 Backpack - Women's - 3800-4200cu in

Rating for this product: 5 August 4, 2008

This pack is well-designed and lightweight. I took mine on a four-day desert backpacking trip. The weather was hot and the last day was a pretty strenuous hike out with lots of scrambling over boulders. The back panel ventilated extremely well, and fit adjustments are easy on-the-go. The hydration compatibility worked with my North Face bladder, the pockets and compartments are well-placed, and the padding is comfortable. One warning: do NOT overload this pack. My boyfriend has the men's version, and we both started the trip carrying more than the recommended weight. We both paid with sores on our collarbones and hips. Once the weight was down, the packs were perfect.

Blurr Bandolier

Blurr Bandolier

Rating for this product: 4 August 1, 2008

This bandolier is very comfortable to wear and has lots of convenient pockets, including one for your cell phone and a little hidden zippered one on the strap (i used it for my keys). I wish it was a little bit bigger. It's great for around town, but fitting my gym shoes in it ain't easy (i think climbing shoes would fit fine). The good thing is that when I do get my shoes in and the zipper barely closes, I can tell that this is durable, well-made bag.

The North Face Greenland Down Jacket - Girls'

Rating for this product: 4 July 23, 2008

I'm a 5'4, 125lb woman, and I bought The North Face Greenland Girl's Jacket in an XL. It fit great (was even a tiny bit big). The jacket is very warm, and the shell resists water/snow quite well. The hood kind of sucks (doesn't stay up).

The North Face Nimbus Capri Pant - Women's

The North Face Nimbus Capri Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 July 23, 2008

The North Face Nimbus Capris are softer than I can describe. I wear them to the gym, riding bikes, climbing, lounging around... they fit a little more loosely than i was expecting, but they still look cute. I'm 5'4, 125lbs and I got the M. I have a curvy shape, so if you're pretty slender I would size down.

The North Face TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece Pullover - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 23, 2008

I bought The North Face TKA 100 Glacier for my boyfriend and he loves it. The sizing is right on. He wears it everywhere: as a snowboarding base layer and for backpacking. It hasn't started to pill and he's owned it for almost a year.

Mountain Hardwear Lhasa Sport Tank Top - Women's

Yes, I was afraid that little gather would look weird, but it adds shape to the top. You know, so your body doesn't look like a sausage. It's really cute.

Arc'teryx Operative Crossback Top - Women's

Arc'teryx Operative Crossback Top - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 17, 2008

I wear this to the gym and it's freaking comfortable. The cross back lets you move your arms around like ninja without straps getting in your way. I've had tons of people compliment it and it looks good for non-workout activities. It is cotton, so if you get really sweaty, your shirt will get sweaty, too. It's best for mild exercise.

I have this in a medium and an extra small, and somehow they both fit. Differently of course, but they both look good. I don't think you can go wrong with the sizing. Hecka comfy, great for the gym, biking, etc.

Convenient

Sherpani Zoe Shoulder Bag - Women's

Sherpani Zoe Shoulder Bag - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 14, 2008

I usually carry a big purse around (you never know what you're gonna need and when), but sometimes big purses are a big pain in the ass. Concerts, bike rides, etc. When I don't want to take my purse, I put my ID and debit card in the Zoe. It's super rad; the size and weight of small wallet, the security of a zipper, and the convenience of a shoulder bag. I can also fit car keys and some lip stuff in it, and it fits easily into my coat pocket if I don't want to carry it.

Rating for this product: 5 March 11, 2008

This bra is my favorite. I wear a 34 C, and I got the medium. It's supportive without smashing your boobs into pancakes, and it wicks away sweat. Because boob sweat is gross.

Rating for this product: 5 March 11, 2008

These pants are super soft and comfortable. I followed the reviews and got a size 4 (I usually wear a 4 or 6, depending on the brand). They fit perfectly when I first put them on, although they do tend to loosen a bit after a few hours of wear.

Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Tights - Women's

Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Tights - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 10, 2008

I used to have the Marmot Power Stretch Tights, and I loved them, but I think I like these better. They're a little warmer and have a smooth face with a fleecy interior. I wore these snowboarding and snowshoeing in freezing cold weather and stayed warm, and sometimes I even wear them under skirts in the winter.
I got a medium (I'm 5'4, 120ish pounds) and they fit a little looser than I was expecting, but definitely not too loose.

Marmot Eiger 36 Backpack - 2200cu in

Rating for this product: 4 October 2, 2006

I carried my Eiger Pack on a one-nighter backpacking trip in the desert. It was a very steep hike in and out and the pack was super comfortable the entire time. The mesh waist-belt is great. I was able to carry my sleeping bag, sleep pad, cookware, and extra clothes, but it did require several tries to get it all in.

Rating for this product: 5 October 2, 2006

I wear my R.5 top riding to work and it feels great in both warm weather and cold weather. It's really breathable so even when the sun's shining, I don't get all sweaty and gross. Plus it has a really flattering fit--not boxy at all.

La Sportiva Katana Rock Climbing Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 October 2, 2006

I have chubby feet and high arches, and these shoes feel like they were made for me. I've worn them bouldering and sport climbing, and I never get blistery. They're super easy to get on and off, but I often just leave them on while I watch friends climb; they're comfortable enough to wear for hours.

Mountain Hardwear Phantom Sleeping Bag: 32 Degree Down

Rating for this product: 4 October 2, 2006

The Mountain Hardware Phantom Bag has continually kept me warmer than my fellow campers who are sleeping in heavier bags. I've used it from spring to fall for several years and it looks and feels like new. It's super light and packs down incredibly small. I had no problem getting it into the stuff sack, although the stuff sack didn't hold up as long as I would have liked.

The North Face Mako Hydration Pack - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 October 2, 2006

My The North Face Mako Pack goes everywhere I do. I wear it riding my bike to work every day and it fits like a dream. You can tell it was designed for a girl's body. I can hold magazines and notebooks in the main compartment, and plenty of cool water in the reservoir. I've stopped carrying a purse since the Mako has an organizer pocket for credit cards and whatnot, as well as three mesh pockets perfect for my cell-phone and iPod.
