Great sunglasses!

Oakley Juliet Sunglasses - Polarized Lens

Oakley Juliet Sunglasses - Polarized Lens

Rating for this product: 5 July 26, 2005

These are terrific sunglasses, another example of Oakley's fine products. I have several Oakley glasses, all are great! These have an especially good fit, due to the flexible frame, feel very secure and won't fall off.

Rating for this product: 5 July 26, 2005

Great case, very secure, crushproof place to store my Juliet’s. It’s a little pricey for a case, but still worth the protection.

Great winter sports pants!!

Arc'teryx Theta SK Pant - Men's

Arc'teryx Theta SK Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 October 29, 2004

These pants are definitely in keeping with the high standard that Arcteryx usually maintains.... they are exceptional! I bought them as a waterproof outer layer for skiing and mountaineering, but they would be just as good for other less vigorous sports. Good fit with plenty of room to move. The price can be a little shocking, but they are well worth the money!!

Excellent sun glasses!

The North Face The Summit Sunglasses

The North Face The Summit Sunglasses

Rating for this product: 5 October 29, 2004

I bought these sunglasses primarily for winter use, to help with the snow glare and bright sun shine, especially at higher altitudes. But they are equally useful for skiing or other winter sports. They are on the expensive side, but worth the money. The frames are comfortable and the built-in side glare shields very flexible and comfortable. Great eye protection.... only word of caution is with size. They come in a Med and Large frame, but the website does not give a way to measure to see what fits best. I ended up with the Mediums because they fit well, the Large was too.... large.

I thought these were a little pricey, but the glasses are very well made and seem to be built durable enough to serve the expedition purpose they were marketed for. I won't have a chance to use them in a mountaineering environment for a few months, but so far compared to the other glasses I've used these are superior by far. So, I have high expectations for them!!

Excellent running shoe!!

The North Face Ultra Gore-Tex XCR Trail Running Shoe - Men's

The North Face Ultra Gore-Tex XCR Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 October 25, 2004

I have usually chosen Asiacs running shoes, and would have never considered anything else. I was looking for a waterproof, sturdier running shoe to use on trails and rougher terrain. I saw the recommendation for these shoes in Outside magazine, so thought I'd give them a try. They are worth every penny!! Excellent support, comfortable from the first step. Hint: when you buy these also get the Goretex gaiters, they fit the shoe and are a good choice when trail running, wet weather, or paths with a lot of skree. Great shoes!!

Excellent gaiter for running

The North Face Winter Gaiter GTX

The North Face Winter Gaiter GTX

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2004

This gaiter is a good addition to the North Face running shoes I use them with. Does a great job of keeping the scree out of your shoes on the trail, and also keeping your feet dry. I've run in a few rain storms since having these, and they do work pretty well. Now I'm waiting for snow to try them in that condition.

Mountainsmith Cairn

Mountainsmith Cairn Lumbar Pack - 1100 cu in

Mountainsmith Cairn Lumbar Pack - 1100 cu in

Rating for this product: 5 September 23, 2004

This is a great lumbar pack, plain and simple. I've used mine all over the world and wouldn't go anywhere without it. It's durable, it's comfortable, it holds the essential stuff, it's easy to carry, and it has enough options for carrying it (shoulder strap/back strap harness/handle) that you can use it for anything. I've had other Mountainsmith products and they are all equally high in value. Well made, user friendly.

The North Face Ultra Gore-Tex XCR Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 23, 2004

These are terrific running shoes, and I'm glad I bought them. They are comfortable right out of the box, provide good support, and work well on all terrains. I run 50-60 miles per week and have several long runs on these shoes already, they're great. The optional gaiters are excellent, too, and do a nice job of keeping stuff out of your shoes on wet days....
