These just didn't work for me. I have heard great things about them and wanted them to work. Unfortunately, they are just really tight in the toeboxk. There was a lot of pressure on my pinky toe. My feet are average width. I tried sizing up from a 12 to a 13 and they were still too tight. Most New Balance usually fit true to size for me, but I had to return these.

I have since purchased the NB Minimus and love them.

I got this piece in the Graphite color in a L. I am 6ft 3in, 190lb with a 43in chest. This is quite a tight shirt. I have only used this as a next to skin under layer and it has worked really well. It you want a more loose fit, I would size up. Another great product from Arcteryx.

These things are awesome for a number of reasons.
1. My 4 year old loves spending hours playing in the snow 'testing' her gear. No snow has ever gotten into these things with the drawstring style cincher on top and the ankle strap.
2. Some kids snow boots fall off way to easily... talk about the perfect way to ruin an afternoon in the snow for a kid. These boots have never fallen off or gotten close to it.
3. My daughter has sensitive feet and gets blisters often from new shoes. None to report after spending hours in them for their first use or any subsequent uses.
4. They have a removable liner to help with drying them out, even though they have never been 'wet' inside. A nice feature.
5. My daughter is excitable and accident prone on ice, they have awesome tread and she hasn't had any spills in these things.
6. Fit is true to size.
7. These things are warm! We have been out playing in zero degrees F and there was no complaining from her... I was a different story.
Overall, I couldn't recommend a better boot for kids. I am a new fan of Sorels. I have never had a pair but am looking at some now.

I got this for my wife in the Key Lime color in a S. Fit is true to size and the color in the pic is true. The material is a really soft lightweight rib wool. It was a bit thicker than she expected, but still very lightweight, soft and breathable. In this color though, the shirt is quite a see-through material. For this reason, it was returned.

Durability and quality are top-notch... everything you can expect from a great company like Smartwool. The product just ended up being not exactly what we expected it to be.

This is a great ice tool. It is essential for ski mountaineering and mountaineering in general. I have had zero problems with this product and couldn't give it a higher recommendation. This is a great product. I am 6ft 3in and use the 75cm length. I prefer my ax to be a little longer since I use this for general mountaineering and have never minded the minimal extra weight.

This is a great addition to the North Face Mountain Manor 6 tent. It's goes well with the tent, easy to clip together and worth the money. I like the additional protection from wear as well as from moisture that a footprint provides. Get it!

Light, simple, tough and practically perfect in every other way. Thanks Backcountry!

The Mountain Manor 8 is an awesome family tent! Its huge, solid in wind, water tight, well ventilated, high quality constructed, easy to setup and tall. I really like the size and design of the vestibule. Lots of space and very comfortable. This thing will last a long, long time.

Its heavy, but who cares when you just lift it out of the car, walk 3 steps and then set it up?

Highly recommended!

I love my white Ecrin Roc. It has saved my brain many times spelunking, it has journeyed with me to the top of many peaks and has given me confidence and peace of mind on my canyoneering adventures.

The Ecrin sits a bit higher than my BD Half-dome so it makes my head look bigger than it already is, but the Ecrin truly feels bomber in comparison. Despite the size and profile, my BD Spot headlamp and petzl DUO headlamp still fit nicely on the Ecrin. Also, all the hoods on any of my jackets: TNF, Arcteryx etc. fit over the Ecrin. It is a little heavier than the Half-dome, but has better ventilation than the Half-dome.

Classic bomber helmet. Highly recommended!

At first I was a little disappointed with the output of this little guy when I got it, put the batteries in and flipped it on in the house... but I had to give it a chance in the field. After multiple uses now, I love it!

I am surprised at the long battery life. The output of the unit (though disappointing at first) has been sufficient in our tent, cooking at night, and everything else.

Does it replace a fullsize coleman lantern? No way! But it is small and light enough that you can have a capable lantern on any backpacking trip.

Awesome! Recommended!

This is a great headlamp. I have used it doing a variety of activities at night: hiking, climbing, camping, running, biking, reading in bed, etc. I have had no problems with it.

The Good:
I like the 3 dimming options for either the 3 smaller LEDs or the 1 big LED. The flash switch is cool as well, although I am not sure I would ever really need that. It's good to have though. Range of light ahead and to the peripheries is satisfactory. It fits great on my BD half-dome and Petzl Ecrin Roc helmets. The tilting works great. It is Light weight. It's a good price for the features.

The Bad:
None. Nothing but praise here.

Highly Recommended!

I bought the moxie for my wife and she loves it. She loves the cute design. The 3 light brightness settings to dim the light and conserve energy are nice and so is the 4th setting that blinks/flashes. BD made a great headlamp with this. Highly recommended.

I have used this harness for 15 years of sport climbing and mountaineering. It's very comfortable, easy to adjust, easy to put on whether you have lots of layers on or are in adverse/precarious moments. Mine is ready to retire after 15 years and I will be buying a new one.

This is a great Harness. It is quite a bit different than the BD Bod harness I have been using and am used to, but I really like it so far. It is comfortable, affordable and all I need. Great piece of gear!

This is one of those essential pieces of gear. Buy one for yourself, buy a backup and buy one for everyone else you know who camps. Awesome product!

This is a good little table. We use it much more than I thought I would. It is light, easy to setup and very functional. I can't imagine car camping without it now.

Although it is a bit flimsy, I would buy it again. Recommended!

These are my current favorite short. I bought my first pair a few months ago and just bought another. They are super comfortable! Great for climbing, backpacking, camping and hanging out. I like the length of the and think the regular chili short would be too short for me. I am 6ft 3in with a 34in waist and wear a Large. It fits great! Highly recommended.

This is a great baselayer top for anything. I have used it rock climbing, belaying, ice climbing, skiing, running, fishing and sitting in the cold at concerts and sporting events. It has a magic ability to keep the chill out.

I wouldn't use this as a multi-day use base layer like camping because it would start to stink. Get some merino wool for that.

I did order up a size on this since it is a compression fit. I am 6ft 3in with a 34in waist and 43in chest. I ordered an XL and am happy with the fit. It is tight like it should be but restrictions nothing. It is plenty long.

I also have this in the mock and like it the same. I highly recommend both. I have been pleased with every Under Armour piece I have.

There isn't much more to say about these that hasn't been said... construction is perfect, material is thin but supportive, they are breathable and great for year round wear do anything and everything. Once I tried these, I bought a few more pairs, threw away the rest and have never looked back. I am 6'3", 34" waist and the Large fits great!

This is a great car camping tent! We have used it a couple of times so far and are looking forward to this great piece of gear to last a long time!

Pros:
It is a great size 6 person tent that actually fits 6 comfortably. I am 6ft 3in and can stand up in this thing too. The build quality is superb. I am impressed with the reinforcements everywhere there are clips. All the materials used for everything included is excellent... Poles, stakes, rain fly, even the duffel it comes in is awesome. We had some heavy rain over a couple of days the first time we used this. Water beaded up beautifully on the fly and not a drop of rain got in. The vestibule is big and tall on this. We had no problems with condensation either... the vents on the tent actually work. The clip to pole hub system is pretty slick.

Cons:
It is heavy, not that we plan on packing it anywhere though. Also, I have set it up with two people every time because it is much easier that way. The pole system takes some getting used to. I still don't feel like it is very smooth process to setup for me, even after practicing several times before our trips and after multiple trips with it. I think it is mostly related to the size of the tent and not the actual design. I am sure I will get more proficient at it from time and use.

Recommendation:
This is one awesome 6 person tent! I have experience with plenty of competing products and would recommend this over any of them. This has been a great buy!

I've had some fun testing these out in the Wasatch canyons and Moab areas. They were exactly what I was looking for... relative low weight, keylock nose for smooth transitions from harness to anchors and back again, simplicity of hotwire biner for rope clipping and the rubber keeps the draw positioned just right. Whats not to like?

I bought this for my 4 year old daughter. She has used it a few times in Moab and climbing in the Wasatch mountains. This has been a great harness to give me and her peace of mind. It is really easy to adjust with the doubleback buckles. Because she loves it and is beginning to love climbing, I love this harness. Buy it!

It took me a bit to get used to this carabiner (Triact_Lock), but I like it. I have my 4 year old daughter use this with her setup and it gives me peace of mind. It is good for what I use it for, but I probably won't buy any more just because it has been difficult for me to get used to it. I would take a regular screw-lock over this for most locking carabiner needs.

I couldn't agree more with the other reviewers. These shorts are addictively comfortable. They are great for climbing, lounging, canyoneering, desert hiking, mountain climbing, camping, backpacking, etc.

They do have a slight swishiness to them, but that won't keep me from buying another pair.

I couldn't recommend a pair of shorts higher than these. Get em!

The Alpine Bod Harness is the perfect harness for me for mountaineering. It is simple to get into with crampons and other gear on. It is light. It is safe. It is comfortable enough. Great piece of gear!

This is a non-technical fleece. It has style and is great quality. I just don't like how popular it is.

I have these mounted on my Voile 166 Mojo and love them so far.

These have worked great for me skinning into the back and slack country. Getting in and out of them is swift and easy. You can even attach a cable between the release knobs on the rear of each binding so that if you get in an avalanche, you can bail quickly from your setup by yanking on the cable which drops the back of the bindings down for a quick escape. I haven't had to do that yet, but appreciate that as a safety feature and chose these bindings for that reason.

I have also used these at the resort.

They are the best bindings I have ever used. Simple, solid, durable and fun.

Highly recommended!

I bought this midweight bottom for my wife along with the matching zip neck top. She has stayed toasty warm wearing this as a base layer for skiing or spending anytime outdoors in the cold. She loves the softness and warmth of this piece. I am sure we will be getting more of these in the future. We have bought smartwool socks before and loved them, but never anything else. We are now big fans of smartwool. Fit seems true to size.

Fit: Spot on. I am 6'3", 200lbs with a 34" waist and 43" chest. That puts me between a L and XL according to the sizing chart. I went with a L. This thing is not baggy, but not too tight either. I have a long torso and long arms and am happy with the length in both. It would be a little snug to wear anything more than a tshirt or base layer under this. The hood fits great too, I haven't tried it over a helmet, but don't plan too ever use this like that.

Style: Love it.

Quality: Excellent quality, seems very durable. Love all the features (pockets, wrist gaitors, hood, etc.).

Functionality: Since its pretty thick, I don't use this during high aerobic activities. Its great to wear round town, sitting by the campfire or as a layering piece on super cold days. I have mostly used it as an outer layer though since it is super thick and warm.

Overall: There is nothing I don't like about this fleece. It is the nicest, thickest and warmest fleece I have ever owned. This will not be my last Norrona purchase. HIGHLY Recommended.

The good:
I just got my new 166 mojo this season. It is awesome! I rode a much older voile splitboard for 7 years and finally retired it. They have been much improved. Weight, quality of the board, pucks and plates, ease of configuration. The board comes with all you need but bindings and boots. I currently use the flow m-11 bindings and like the quick release for avalanche considerations. Cheat sheets are a must. Skinning on this light machine is simple and smooth.

The bad:
There is a lot of hardware on these things. I suggest using a more permanent substance to hold the screws/etc in place once you get it dialed. Otherwise, check it a few times during a day of riding and every morning before you head back out. You do NOT want to lose a pin or have your setup falling apart way out in the backcountry. I suggest some spare parts: pins, screws, etc.

Well worth the price if you want a great powder board that is capable of getting you back into the untouched. Highly recommended!

Sizing: I normally wear an XL for tops in stoic and backcountry gear, even thought the sizing charts puts me in at a L. The XL for this seems larger than normal, perhaps its the extra 2 inches of sleeve length that made it feel like I was drowning. I am 6ft 3in, 200lbs with a 44in chest. I would say this is true to size with longer than normal sleeve lengths.

Colors: I went with the white/black color since it is more my style: traditional, plain, boring. Unfortunately the options with white in the chest are completely see through... Hello nipples!! I got this as a base layer that I would feel comfortable wearing stand alone as well. I wasn't comfortable in the color style I chose.

Quality: Awesome merino, High quality shirt.

I recommend this product. I will be returning my boring see-through XL for a darker color in a L.

I wanted this hat to work. I really liked the style.

Unfortunately, it was WAY too big. I have a big head so I ordered the L/XL. The band fit around my head perfectly, but the bucket is WAY too deep. If I wore this hat normally, there was 1-2 inches of air between the top of my head and the hat... if I pulled it down snug, My ears got in the way and I had to tuck them in...

Sadly, it was returned.

Great Bib!

True to Size, Warm, breathable, water proof, cute, durable, easy to get on and off, easy to adjust, no complaints, good design, good quality, not over-priced.

My 4 year old daughter has spent hours rolling around in the snow in temps close to zero (F) in these with no complaints.

Recommended.

These things are awesome for a number of reasons.

1. My 20 mon old doesn't 'love' the snow yet, but these have helped improve her experiences of snow by keeping it out. The ankle strap on these things keep it out.

2. Some kids snow boots fall off way to easily... talk about the perfect way to ruin an afternoon in the snow for a kid. These boots have gotten loose and fallen off a couple of times when I was carrying her. Its a concern, but she is 20mon old and all shoes somehow separate themselves from her feet. No surprises there I guess...

3. No blistering or discomfort from these things after spending hours in them.

4. These have awesome tread and she hasn't had any spills in these things.

5. Fit is true to size.

6. These things are warm! We have been out playing in zero degrees F and there was no complaining from her... I was a different story.

Overall, I recommend these. I am a new fan of Sorels. My daughter has the flurry TP's and those are bombproof. Good stuff!

Style: Got two pair in white deco for my 4 and 2 year old. They are darling.

Sizing: The size S was WAY too S for the 2 yr old and the size L was slightly to L for the 4 year old. Oh well... will be usable for next season as well right?

Quality: The plastic clips that clip the gloves together broken on one pair when I was opening them, the other broke the first day we used them. No big deal (until we lose one when they get separated). Otherwise, solid.

Warmth: This was numero uno for us and these do not disappoint. No complaints about cold fingers after hours in the snow. They have a soft and heavenly fleece lining. Smiles...

I got these in L/XL for my size 12 feet. Awesome SKI sock for a great price. They fit well, have good shape and form with cushion in all the right places, they are warm and seem to be high quality construction and design (only used them a few times so far... will comment on durability and longevity later).

This is one of those essentials in any array of gear. These are great from keeping river rocks out of your boots to high alpine mountaineering and everything in between. These gaitors rock! I have no need to try another brand. Perfect product! Thanks OR

This was my first Marmot purchase and sadly it will be returned. The cut of this wasn't as fit as I like, but it wasn't casual in the way I like either. I was going for more casual and ordered up a bit for comfort. It was too long and wide in the torso. I am 6'3", 200lbs with a 44" chest and ordered the XL... perhaps the L would be better based on the charts.

I haven't given up on Marmot yet.

There is nothing more to say about such excellence...

These are good socks. They keep my girlies feet warm and are cute to boot. Recommended.

We got this hat for my 2 and 4 year old to share. Build quality is awesome and it is very cute. I love the soft fleece on the inside of this... I wish it fit my ginormous head. Highly recommended!

We got this in the sweetpea color for my 20mon old. The 2T fits well. Its a cute jacket, its great quality and was not overpriced. The built in mittens have been nice on a few occasions and worth it, but I will say that they get in the way more than I thought they would with the extended sleeve length.

Do I recommend this for what it is?: Yes

Would I buy second one?: No

We got this fleece jacket for my 4year old in the vino color. It fits true to size as we got the 4t and it fits perfectly. She loves this, it looks cute, it keeps her warm enough as a stand alone 3 season jacket or as a layer under her winter coat for any cold or wet winter day. It is a great price for what it is. I would have paid double for this. We will be getting her more in other colors.

This is an awesome hat! We got it in the Pink color for my 2 and 4 year old. The design is awesome, the quality is great and it has this soft fluffy fleece liner on the inside that is heavenly. It keeps my girls extra warm and cute. highly recommended.

I got two of these... one in pink and on in butterflies for my daughters.

The Good: They are indestructible and solid. They don't leak. Very cute designs. My 2 and 4 year old can open and close the valve easily. They have packed these around constantly since they got them the bottles have helped encourage them to drink more water. Yay! Mission accomplished.

The bad: Like all other stainless steel bottles, the bottle gets cold very quickly when filled with a cold beverage. My daughters have both voiced discomfort at this. They have had to learn to carry the bottle around and hold it by the plastic loop and lid instead of touching the "burr its freezin" steel sides. Next time I will get them a plastic bottle for this reason.

Cool bottle, but the stainless steel is too cool for kids.

The good: I am 6'3" 195lbs with a 43" chest and 34" waist and the Large fits perfectly. The sleeves are long enough for me. The sizing is spot on. The sweater looks great. I have worn it casually more than in active settings but I am sure it would perform well. It is super soft and comfortable. It is warmer than I thought it would be.

The bad: It piles after some uses, washings and wear no matter how careful you are with it. It offers no wind protection (not that i was expecting any...). It's an expensive sweater.

I like and wear this so much that I will be getting another one of these. Its a really nice sweater. Highly recommended!

I use these socks for running and have no complaints about them. I have used them every time I have gone running through the summer and fall. Contrary to what others have mentioned, none of mine have gotten holes or have fallen apart in anyway. I also haven't noticed any stench.

The sizing is true, they are comfortable, the price is good, i will get more.

I bought these for my wife as a birthday present in Black. She liked them ok. She normally wears a 7.5 so I ordered up (8)... taking a chance from the conflicting reviews across the www. I was glad I did! The boots fit her foot with or without socks. She really liked how they looked on.

However, she said that even though her foot had enough room (but not too much), her foot would slide forward and cramp her toes. The fit was strange.

She traded then in and went with the EMU Outback boot in an 8. She LOVES those.

Please your woman. Get some sheepskin boots.

I bought this for my wife as a birthday present. The material is soft and warm. She loved everything about it accept for the fit. Sleeve length was good, body length was good, but it seemed boxy in the body area from the chest down. It is not a slim/athletic fitting sweater. It was like the sleeve inseam stopped short leaving inches between the sweater armpit and my wifes real armpit making it seem like an overabundance of material.

We ended up returning this in the end with the ever amazing Backcountry service.

My wife purchased this in black and couldn't be happier with it. She also got the Black Rincon tankini top by Carve Designs to match. The fit is true to size. You are not supposed to dry the suit in the dryer but by accident we have a few times. It has not faded, has not stretched out or shrank. My wife loves the fabric and cut of this. She feels comfortable in her suit which makes all the difference. I think it looks fantastic!

My workplace can tend to get chilly, even in the summer. I keep this light weight fleece around and wear it as much as possible. It is very soft, comfortable and warm. It is the perfect light weight fleece. As others noted, its more of a mid than light weight fleece because of the superb material quality.

I will probably get another one. I have yet to find anything superior.

These are the best spring/summer/fall kid shoes our there. I bought these for my 1yr and 3yr old. The shoes have mark free soles, they protect the toes, they stay on, are easy for my 3yr old to put on by herself, they actually seem comfortable, the soles have shown little wear after a season of use and my favorite feature... you can throw them in the washer!!

This summer alone they have been covered in mud, a ketchup covered hotdog fell on them and countless times my kids manage to spills juice, soda or something all over them. We just throw them in the wash and they come out looking brand new.

These have been our goto shoe for our kids for everything! Camping, boating, hiking, swimming and everything in between. Worth every penny. Thank you Keen!

Too bad kids grow so quickly. We will buy anew pair for our toddler next summer.

Bought a replacement after the original filter in the unit broke when I dropped it a couple feet onto a rock. Wish the ceramic filter was a little more durable it would be nice if replacements were cheaper. Thus the 3 stars...

That said, I am still overall very happy with the MSR Miniworks filtering speed and how easy it is to use and maintain. That was my first problem with it after years of good use.

I have been happy with the speed that the MiniWorks filters water. It does much better than the super old PUR I had years and years before.

The ceramic filter is fragile... I was filtering water from a river, slipped and dropped the filter a couple feet onto a rock and the ceramic filter cracked and busted into hundreds of pieces. Needless to say, I was boiling my water for the rest of the trip. Replacements aren't cheap.

Lessons learned: 1. Don't drop your ceramic filter on a rock, 2. Have a backup (iodine tablets or something), 3. Buy something more durable next time.

Happy drinking!

Super solid and tough cross bar. I dig the round Yakima over the Square Thule... not sure why, Just seems more sturdy, more aerodynamic, more compatible and IMO better looking.

The 58" size is perfect on my 04' Honda Pilot... The 66" would have turned it into a boeing 737...

This was really easy to install on my 04' Honda Pilot. It probably took me 30 min the first time. But now I can take it off when I am not using it or put it on now in about 5 min.

I like the low profile. I've carried kayaks, lumber and many other things with this. Very useful piece of car gear.

Only complaint... For the price, I wish the locks were included.

I have only had these for a month now so I can not comment on their long-term quality, but these are the best trail running and best running shoes I have ever owned. Worth the dough. Fits true to size, I wear US 12 for running and these were no different. i have an average to wide foot and these are comfortable.For me, these are what I have always been looking for in a running shoe... they feel like I am not wearing anything. Super comfortable.Great service through backcountry.

I brought a couple of these in the Large after reading the reviews about dress lengths. One of them shrunk to size and the other is too small now. I don't feel that either shirt is still too long after being washed (they were too long before washing them). I am 6'3" 200lb with 42" chest. I plan on getting more but will order XL this time.

Love the GOAT logo size and position on the shirt. I really like the soft material and comfort of the shirt.

Backcountry is awesome! Recommended!

Like others, the fit was a little strange feeling for me but it does what it is meant to do. Awesome material, great breathability, one of my goto shirts for my morning or evening runs.

I am 6'3", 200lb with 42" chest and the Large is a good athletic fit.
