I must agree with the comments others have made about these glasses as they come out of the box. I am not too concerned with style, but want quality eye protection since I make my living as a pilot. For work I am a Serengeti fan, but I wanted a pair of polarized for use in bright light that would stay on under active conditions(ie riding a jet ski). Before returning mine I worked on moulding them to my face. This took care of my biggest disappointments: 1. Too much light coming in from the sides. 2. Too much light coming in from the bottom. 3. Too much pressure from the temples.These are heavy sunglasses. If you are used to the lightweight Oakley frames these are much heavier. I recommend them if you are willing to do a little work and can get them in the $80 price range. I found mine on Steep and Cheap.

I bought a Sportif GoreTex parka at least 15 years ago and have loved it. It finally wore out and I have been searching for about a year for a replacement. The biggest drawback was not many manufactures made "parkas" in a shell. I wanted the longer length of a parka. The XL measures 33.75" in length. This jacket had every feature I wanted except for snaps on the storm flap. I got the XL Grill (which I would describe as grey). It's a regular fit, which allows plenty of room for everything from a fleece pullover to a down jacket to fit underneath. I have worn a shell setup like this with several layers underneath as cold as -27F (not wind chill) I pulled the hood up over a helmet, it fit fine, no vision obstruction, but your face is going to get wet. As mentioned here, the hood rolls up and a flap secures it. Not a great design, we'll see how it works. Another feature I was looking for were snaps on the front storm flap. This jacket has velcro closures(would have preferred snaps). I wanted this so I could just close the jacket with the velcro if it was raining, but was too warm to zip the jacket. My son turned me on to Backcountry. The reason I bought the jacket here was the no questions asked guarantee. As you know you just have to wear this stuff and see if it works or not. I will be anxious to see how waterproof it is. I just saw (9/2/09)the Espresso pop up in Steep and Cheap for $84. That must be close to cost!
