Rating for this product: 4 December 1, 2010

i'm a big fan of this jacket; in fact i bought an larger size for the next two seasons for my son. the 2T fits great (my son is 2 years old 33/35 lbs). the insulation is adequate, but worth adding an extra fleece layer on those really cold days. the water proof rating is nice too since my son spends more time on his bum than on his feet.

the snow is already falling in utah and i'm glad i have these sorel's. they are perfect for shoveling snow, sloshing through parking lots and taking the dogs for walks through the snow. my only complaint is i should have bought a size smaller; i usually wear a 12 and could have gone w/ an 11. the liner is super warm and i often find myself shedding my socks and the waterproof and durability are fantastic.

over thanksgiving i was a little cramped in the family cabin/ranch house w/a dozen adults and two dozen kids so i took my bag & four season tent and ventured outside. we were just south of fish lake, ut w/ freezing temperatures. this bag held up nicely even in such cold weather. i'm 6'2 so the long bag was perfect length. i did layer up and have a pretty good pad to make it through the night, but nonetheless i was pretty impressed w/ the bag.

Black Diamond Predator 50 Backpack - 2929-3052cu in

Rating for this product: 5 May 24, 2010

I've not bought a new pack in 6 years and my previous North Face pack was great, but I needed something more serious for climbing & mountaineering. I spent a lot of time researching price and features and found this pack had it all. Plenty of space for gear, solid ice axe loops and shovel pocket.

I think the greatest features are the side zip, adjustable lid and super comfortable back panel. Also, this is an ideal size for a quick trip up the canyon or a weekend pack.

This a light durable pack that I recommend for anyone.

Rating for this product: 5 April 23, 2010

Not really, but it was one of the hilights of our trip was hiking Waimea Canyon w/ my 16 mo, who weighs 30lbs, in the kid carrier. it was easy to get him in and easy to get the pack on. it helps if you have a second person helping adjust the different straps, but once you are set off you go.

we hiked for about two miles before we had to stop due to wet ground and crazy steep trail head, but we could have gone further w/ the pack and kid on the back.

not a proud moment as a parent, but i did slip and fall while on the trail. my little guy fell into the head pad pretty hard, but it kept him from hitting my back or even the back of my head. he was a little frightened, but not hurt which was comforting.

i'll keep my comments pithy; it's a great cool weather wind jacket that i use in park city on 40 degree winter days.

the picture shows a grey jacket, but the site calls it black. in reality the jacket is black so it looks like BC has the wrong pic for the SKU. the jacket also runs pretty big which is good for adding layers below. i'm 6'2 200 lbs and the XL runs pretty big on me.

only complaint is the bottom of the jacket should have elastic waist that can be tightened.
