A little help for Petzl

Petzl Dragonfly 8.2mm Half Rope

Petzl Dragonfly 8.2mm Half Rope

Rating for this product: 5 August 16, 2011

To help facilitate descents, the middle of each Petzl cord is marked with a black bar. Even with this marking, it’s sometimes a good idea to tie a knot at the end of the rope as an additional safety measure.

I've had this bag for over a year and I love the Aerofoam backpanel that Arcteryx has put into this pack it keeps me cool in the summer and has a lot of little extras that most bags at this price point dont have. I only have one issue with this bag, the shoulder straps could be a little wider other then that great bag good price.

Nixon 51-30 Chrono Watch - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 18, 2010

Just got this watch and i have to say its F*#king big and it has the baller status of a tnf1556 jacket but as far as a great everyday its the best im glad i went with the stainless steel band B/C ive heard that the weight of the watch with leather band gets tore up super quick so save your money and go with the steel(you'll thank me later). As far as looks its a little over the top but if you are going to spend this much money on a watch you mine as well go all out and after wearing it for a few weeks you wont want to take it off its good for everyday use so if you're in the market for a watch as big as a babies head this is the way to go.

Rating for this product: 5 June 28, 2010

I just returned from a 3 day camping trip to lower calf creek falls in southern Utah , and I'm glad that I brought my jet boil because in the area that we where camping in didn't allow fires. The cooking time for this is awesome no more hobo dinners for me. I wish that I would have pulled the trigger on the purchase years ago, it would have made my life so much easier. I would recommend this stove to anyone who is looking for an everything cooking system.

Salewa Mountain Trainer Light Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 June 19, 2010

Im a solid 12 when it comes to shoes but after reading some reviews i went to the 11.5 and the fit is great but i felt that with all of this hype about the blister free technology that your ankle wouldn't move when you walked but i was very disappointed to find out that not only did my ankle move i was afraid that i was going to roll my ankles because the shoe isn't flush it seems that they took a shoe with a flush sole and added a smaller Vibrim sole to it. The feel of the whole system make me nervous i wish this shoe had a wider sole a little tighter fit. This shoe may work for you but these are the problems that i have seen.

Rating for this product: 5 June 11, 2010

I have been using this bag for the last few weeks and i have to say this bag does everything right and then some. The opening for the bag is big and holds a lot of chalk it doesnt weigh much the pocket on the back works great i use it for my ring,watch,and wallet. I have yet to use the bottle opener but over all use functionality of the bag is great, so if you want a bag thats going to do every thing then get this one.

Arc'teryx Sidewinder SV Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 16, 2010

What to say you get what you pay for with this jacket it has everything you can think of, I took it out for a mid may skinning trip at Alta and it performed as is should the fit is great but at 6'1 ft 171.6 lb the XL ran a little bigger then i would have liked. As far as the sidewinder zipper goes i didn't even think about it when it was up there was no chaffing and when you're coming off the mountain and you zip it down it did feel lopsided it felt just fine. So if you're looking to get the last jacket you will ever need i would recommended it.

The meaning

Stoic Bombshell Jacket - Men's

Stoic Bombshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 6, 2010

Stoicism was a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded in Athens by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC. The Stoics considered destructive emotions to be the result of errors in judgment, and that a sage, or person of "moral and intellectual perfection," would not undergo such emotions.[1] Stoics were concerned with the active relationship between cosmic determinism and human freedom, and the belief that it is virtuous to maintain a will (called prohairesis) that is in accord with nature. Because of this, the Stoics presented their philosophy as a way of life, and they thought that the best indication of an individual's philosophy was not what a person said but how he behaved.[2] Later Roman Stoics, such as Seneca and Epictetus, emphasized that because "virtue is sufficient for happiness," a sage was immune to misfortune. This belief is similar to the meaning of the phrase 'stoic calm', though the phrase does not include the "radical ethical" Stoic views that only a sage can be considered truly free, and that all moral corruptions are equally vicious.[3]

I agree with rob3456313 for the price it should have a higher end material on the out side, and being able to see the down is what the guys at stoic wanted to have as far as a the look goes and i think that they could have beefed up the material so that you didnt see the down as far as size i bought the black L and the orange XL im 6'1 and about 175 the xl fits the Large is a bit tight but i could make it work if i had to and the XL fits great. I give it four stars for the warmth and thats about it.

Rating for this product: 4 September 24, 2009

I have had this backpack for a little over 4 months and I use it every day. My only problem is that when wearing the backpack with a hydration system attached, it works fine while wearing it, but the hose gets in the way when taking the pack on and off and is kind of annoying. I suggest having it if you're not going around town. For day trips, hikes, or using it when biking it's not too bad.
