If you are going to bring eggs... please don't put your egg carton into my cooler!
Functional way to transport eggs.

Worth every $. I would never get a different sleeping pad. This insulates like crazy, is super comfortable, easy to inflate, has a huge vent to deflate, well placed baffles. The material is rugged yet not too heavy. I also stopped slipping off the pad during the night due to the material used on the surface of the pad and the well placed baffles. I am 5'10 and got the 7 Pump M which works great for my size.

Great design, solid material, has numerous adjustments and will fit just about any factory rail. Once I got it I noticed these are on a lot of cars and all attached to the factory rail.
I got this for a 2006 BMW X3.
It is worth getting the 6 or 8 locks pack, so you have one key for everything.

These things are well built, easy to open and the universal mount compresses onto just about any shape of bar. Install in about 20 minutes. All tools you need come in the box.

Once you have a pair of these you will never go back to full length. Very durable, great fit. I am 5'10 and use M. Very flexible, the wool is killer. I put these in the dryer all the time and it has not damaged the fabric on bit. Very breathable, super soft, nice flat stiching.

This always sells out, buy it now! Works great to clean the base, not toxic. Even works to get off sticker glue on car windows. Love it. This bottle should last you at least 2 seasons or more.

Great wax iron. I used this and the more expensive version and I see no reason to spend more $$$. Nice dial to adjust temp. Get some wax with the money you save over the pro version.

Ever wonder why it is so hard to scrape your skis? The answer is a dull scraper. Once attached to a wood workbench or other stable surface this makes your scraper super sharp with just a couple of passes over the file. It keeps a nice right angle to give you a super sharp edge.

I am impressed and can't imagine no having this tool.

Besides the obvious of always having something around to clean the base, this is really great for putting under your iron when distributing the wax on your skis. It will save you wax and protect your precious pores from closing up due to too much heat from the iron. It also rally help to evenly distrbute the wax.

Cheap super rubber band. Super strong and durable. Get 2 pair.

If you are not sure what temp to use this works well. The wax is fast. Make sure you don't set the temp to high on your iron (no smoke) even if you are going slowly. Get some rub on wax for cold snow to suplement this product.

This really helps. I use this in a pinch on the hill or after the final brush of the iron on wax. I does not really come with a cork but some synthetic cork. It does the job when on the road, but it would be a good idea to get a real cork that is slightly bigger for at home. Taking one star for the cork not really being cork.

Got the fine (red) to deburr the tail and tip. Works well, feels good size is not an issue for me. I only use to deburr. Would recomend to anyone.

If you take the time to wax you MUST HAVE a brush. Like this one because you get 2 for 1 with the nylon and copper both on one brush. I use this to clean before I apply the wax and then again at the end.

This is a killer belt. Waist is a 32 and I got a medium. The belt has 10 belt holes and I have 5 left. It is surprisingly light and about. Its 1.5 inches wide.

Backcountry.com Merino Crew Shirt - Short-Sleeve
Got every color and have not worn any other T-shirts since. Super light, super comfortable, perfect fit! It is very tightly woven, so wind does not go through it like a cotton T. I even wear it mountain biking. Super stretchy, my 3 year old son hung on the collar and it did not rip. You can wear this thing for days at a time, and it won’t smell bad as long as you hang it up at night. Last week was one of those rare occasions when I had to ware a suit and guess what I wore? This killer T-shirt under the suit jacket! Medium fits perfectly for my 165lbs 5'11'' frame.

Thule Snug Tite Lock (STL2 lock with lock and key)
Have a THULE rack that is from 2003 and it works perfectly.

Good fit, warm, actually too warm, wish there were some vents.

got them for my husband and he loves them. look great. 9.5 fit perfectly and he says they are super comfortable. i wanted to get the same for myself, however I am between 5.5 and 6 and 5.5 was too big for me.

This Jacket rocks! It has plenty of pockets, the material is great and very functional. The whole thing is welded, no seams anywhere. The hood is helmet compatible; the collar is very high to protect you from evil wind blasts. I am 5'11 165 lbs and the medium fits well. The sleeves are a bit long. The material looks like it is from a NASA research lab, very soft and shiny. The Backcountry.com SHIFT Welder Hoody is also very light!

The Backcountry.com Merino Trail Sock is awesome. I don't wear any other socks. My shoe size is 9.5 and the S/M size is perfect. Great height, no sweat or funny smells. Gotta love the baby blue.........

GoLite Virga Jacket Mens' Medium
The size is perfect! I am 5'11, 160lb and medium is perfect for me. I read some reviews and initially got a large, but it was way too big. Very lite, packs super small. Only thing I would improve is a draw string on the waist.

You guys hooked me up with these killer shoes and the fit great, true to size and best of all, now I can kick your ass without hurting my toe thanks to the great keen toe protection
thanks

MontBell America, Inc. Ultralight Down Inner Parka
I purchased this as an emergency layer for backcountry skiing. I never thought that I would wear it on a daily basis and that it would be my main jacket for backcountry skiing. No wind gets through this thing. It packs so small that you can just put it into your pocket when you are skinning up. I now use it to ski down and to hang out at the top. Best purchase I have ever made. Can't think of any improvements. I am 5'11 and weigh in at 160lbs. The Medium fits perfectly.

Dan

no sweat, not funk, no rotton eggs

backcountry.com merino woll socks fit well

backcountry.com merino wool socks are great

Backcountry.com socks are perfect!

Great socks, warm , great material. But the sizing is off. 42-44 which is the medium is too big from by 9.5 foot.

Great pants for the resort. They are really WARM! They need zips on the legs. They run a little big. I am a size 32 and the fall off with out a belt.

This boot is very warm and great to walk with. I found that my actual shoe size is the size that works best. So reviews suggest that buying 1/2 size larger is necessary, I tried both sizes and strongly disagree. Buy your size.

This jacket is the best jacket I have ever owned. Almost wind proof, high cuff so you are protected from wind while riding around on your "towny", great fit. All pockets have zippers and there are not too many of them. I am 5'11 at 160 and the medium fits perfectly. If you want to wear a sweat shirt underneath go with the large. Backcountry.com best woll jacket on the market!

Great for skiing when cold. Keeps neck and face warm.

Shoes are great. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable.

These are killer knickers. I wear a size 32 and size M fits perfectly. Great material, super soft. Love'em.

These should have gotten size M. I am 5'11 waist 32. They are a little big. Otherwise they are super comfortable. Dan

Killer T-shirt! NEED TO CONSIDER MAKING THEM AGAIN. People don't know what to think when they see it. Dan

The Goat Organic Cotton T-Shirt Long-Sleeve - Women's is a great T-shirt. My wife is 5'5'', slender and it fits her perfectly. Love the material, and how can you not like that goat logo.

I am 5'10' and got the large, could have gone with the medium. The advantage of the larger size is that you can wear the jacket over more than one layer. I will probably get a medium too! If it were up to me I would change the name of the jacket from DriClime to "THE PERFECT LAYER". Love the napoleon pocket; it's great for quick access for misc items.
I can't really think of any improvements, the Marmot DriClime Jacket is perfect!

These pant rocks. Perfect fit, good sizing! Great pocket on the right thigh for cell phone etc. Can't think on any improvements except more colors.

Love the material. It is soft, warm, and regulates temperature wonderfully. It also has great fit. Got size L because I planned on using it casually. That worked out perfectly. I am 5'11''. I wear it almost every day. As for improvements, I would put a napoleon pocket on the left side top portion of the jacket.

Not much to say. They fit well and tightly. Happy with them, can't think of any improvements.

Non-itchy and surprisingly hip for this conservative manufacturer. Fit is tight and the material stretches well to accommodate larger heads.

The North Face Falcon Stretch Jacket is great because it is not just a shell. It is thick and will keep you warm on those days when you are on the hill with a group of 10+ and never really get to warm up. The North Face Falcon Stretch Jacket is a great resort jacket and will keep you warm! Really tough materials too, so it will last a long time.

The North Face Furallure is what you want to see your wife in when you go out. The fur is hot, and the jacket is warm. If you want to show off your women, buy her this jacket....

Great material, great beanie!

This jacket is awesome! The material is really soft and the best feature is the curved hood so you can actually look left and right without feeling like you have blinders on.

This beanie rocks. The warmest hat I own.

Super light and great fit. Since they have not snaps or zippers on the cuff you can actually wear them with ski or tele boots on below zero days.
BTW, you don't look like the Michelin Man when you have them on, great for chillin' around the house or to turn your 20d degree sleeping bag into a 0 degree bag.

Great pants, but buy them at least one size bigger than what you are used to.

I returned them, they were too small. If you want these pants buy them at least one size larger than your normal pants. Dan

Great pants, super light. However, I went with the down version because the Thermawraps had a rivet on the bottom that may hurt on my shin if it gets between it and my boots. Dan

Fantastic for 1-2 hour bike rides. Sits perfectly on your back, plenty of pockets and ample amount of water (70 OZ). Dan

What I like the most about this CamelBak is the insulation and the options to attach it into just about any hydration capable backpack. Dan

My daughter loved them. She is 8. Snug fit, cool looking, just like dad.

Fantastic boot. I really think it is the best boot before you go to a "shank" sole. What I love the most about the boot is the "roll" when you walk. Scarpa got it right!

My daughter loves them. She is a water rat and wears them all the time. She did experience a little pain with the hard plastic triangle near the ankle.

Good sandal, finally a Teva Sandal that does not kill my ankles.

Great bag, Good size, very light and packs smaller than indicated.

Dan

Great boot. Sizing is tricky, like with any Scarpa shoes. If you are a 9 you will need 42s. I really like the "roll" the sole creates and it is replaceable.

Dan

Great material, as with any Arc’teryx product. In length they shrink about one inch. Only gripe, they come out of the dryer very wrinkled.
Dan

This thing rocks. The unique wool/fleece blend is an amazing fabric. Love it, and wear it almost every day!
Don't buy it too big!
Dan

Great for layers or just to wear casually. I really like it because it seems to keep me at great temperature, never too hot or never too cold.
Dan

It's worth the money! I have never owned a jacket that packs smaller and lighter than this one. It does not have a powder skirt, but since it has two drawcords (one on in the mid-section and one on the bottom) you don't really need one. I am 5'11'' (on a good day) and weigh in at about 160lb; medium is the perfect size for me. This jacket will double as a rain jacket in warmer months. I don't suggest you buy this if you only ski resorts because it has no insulation (you will need at least three layers when it really gets cold). But the second you go backcountry or hiking it is worth its price in gold. No wonder it is the most sold jacket in the hardshell line.
Dan

I am 5'11'' and the medium fits perfectly. These pants are the real deal, durable, great cuff fit, and completely waterproof. Of course, the black is really dark and seems to be fade resistant.
I am very happy with them!
Dan

Very warm and great fit. I decided to go with a size 9 instead of a size 8 because I did not want them too tight. These gloves are worth the money. My hand is about 7.5-inches from the top of my middle finger to the end of my hand.
Dan

This jacket is great. Very nice fuzzy collar, great cut that suits a woman's figure and sizes as small as XS. By the way, the XS is perfect for my 5'6" wife. She loves it!

Nice teaser. Now where is the real deal? After you see this you are going to want to buy full length TGR movie.

Great material, great look, good zippers, great boot cuff. The bottom of the pants are too wide (3in overlap) and there is no way to cinch them over the boot cuff, used them once and they got cut because of it. Front pockets are hard to access due to the location of the zipper. Final word, good for boarders, useless for skiing or backcountry due to the wide bottoms that do not cinch over the boot cuff (flap like crazy and drive you nuts while riding and walking around because of the constant sound created by the friction of the huge bell bottoms!

Oakley is the best. These are a showstopper. I love them, they cover my face well and fully wrap to protect from high-speed wind exposure.

I can't believe how fast and efficient the shipping from Backcountry.com is. Excellent service!!!!
