Norrøna Lyngen 750 Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 16, 2010

LOVEEE THIS! ive been looking for a super warm down for an upcoming winter trip to mt. washington, and decided to give this a try... so awesome! i tested it out hiking and sightseeing in the swiss alps this past weekend, and was absolutely amazed by its warmth. even at the summit of the schilthorn (freezing temps and crazy winds) with just a tshirt underneath i felt completely warm.

the cut is puffy but still cute for a puffy coat, and the pink looks excellent in person. it certainly makes it easy for friends to spot me in a crowd! norrona makes some pretty crazy colors, but i like it!

Evolv Elektra Climbing Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 October 23, 2010

for someone with (very) wide feet, especially in the toe/i have bunions area, these are very comfortable, and feel like they really hug my feet.

however, this is the absolute worst rock shoe rubber ive ever felt! i had a pair of 5.10 lace ups before this, and love the upgrade to velcro with these, but didnt realize how un-sticky rock shoe rubber can be! i totally took the awesome 5.10 grip for granted...

Thule Roadway Hitch Bike Carrier - 4 Bike

Thule Roadway Hitch Bike Carrier - 4 Bike

Rating for this product: 4 October 19, 2010

gets the job done, i feel like the bikes are secure, especially with the extra wrap components for the lower frame. the rack tilt down and tilt away are nice features, even more so since i have a hatchback. way too heavy to tilt down when bikes are on it, but great for bums like me who leave the rack on for 2 weeks after a bike trip!!

my one complaint is that you need to be pretty strong to latch the rubber parts, but im sure with time it'll get worn in and easier.

bought these for a hiking/climbing trip through RMNP and boulder and was very pleased! long enough to be comfortable with a harness on, and still light enough to feel good hiking.
quick drying, i only had 2 pairs of these for the trip (seems to be a popular idea among BC reviewers!) and just washed them when needed

Black Diamond Bullet Backpack - 976cu in

Rating for this product: 5 June 11, 2010

this pack is so simple, but has everything i need for daytrips and day to day use (as a student)

there are no pockets or dividers inside of this, just one big spot to stash your gear (plus the small zippered area on the outside) but theres plenty of room for a hydration system, and some food or small gear. The hydration compatibility is nice, theres even a little clip on one of the straps for securing the hydration system hose/tube part

overall, great pack!

I bought this pack for weekend backpacking trips this summer and found it was very comfy with enough space for my tent, change of clothes, sleeping bag, some food and water.

I now use it for rock climbing and rappelling trips, its great for holding 60m of rope, 2 harnesses, 2 pairs of shoes, water, food, some static rope, a tarp and various carabiners . Lots of straps to clip to are great for clipping helmets to the outside..

Rating for this product: 5 December 30, 2009

this is a great coat, and the inner liner is cute to wear by itself... I love the detail stitching

my only issue was what size I got (they only had a large so I ordered it) but that was my own fault!

I'm 5'10" 150 lbs and the large is a bit too baggy, its still ok if I wear a large sweatshirt underneath but I think a medium would have been perfect
