Great lightweight all around short

Stoic Thrive Short - Men's

Stoic Thrive Short - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 9, 2011

Super light short that is adjustable and offers good range of motion for any activity you can think of. I have a size 32 waist by most brands and these shorts fit spot on. Not a lot of room for me to pack on any extra lbs though. Length came down to right above the knee, pretty much perfect. Don't see any reason to not throw these a five-star review.

Awesome running shirt

Icebreaker GT Run Ace Crewe - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Icebreaker GT Run Ace Crewe - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 15, 2011

Can't get enough of merino wool for everyday wear and also performance apparel. I honestly don't know why anyone would ever wear a synthetic after putting on a merino shirt to run in. It breathes better than synthetics, doesn't drape on you like a tarp when it gets sweaty, doesn't stink after wearing, and is super soft. If you run/bike/hike, you need to try merino wool.

Great Road Runner

Karhu Footwear Fast2 Running Shoe - Men's

Karhu Footwear Fast2 Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 12, 2011

I normally run trails in La Sportive Wildcats so making the transition to a road runner took a few runs but I love this shoe. Very light breathable upper, good neutral platform that lets you feel the road. Definitely notice and like the fulcrum tech that gets you moving forward. I don't normally run roads, but when I do I prefer the Karhu Fast2. Stay thirsty my friends. (I normally wear size 12 in Sportiva's, I went 11.5 in the Karhu's)

Nice baselayer

Stoic Merino 150 Crew - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Stoic Merino 150 Crew - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 30, 2010

I'm a big fan of merino wool and this stacks up to the competition. Nice and comfy for everyday wear or as a baselayer for cold days on the mountain. I'm 6'0", 165 lbs and ordered a medium which fits great. The sleeves are on the long side but I like it because the sleeves don't tug on you when you have your thumbs through the thumb loops. Plus the sleeves then cover more of your hand if you are running in the shirt on a colder day.

Good shoe

Evolv Defy Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 5 September 16, 2010

Nice shoe. It was the first climbing shoe I have worn and really liked it as a good all around shoe, especially for the price. I would recommend sizing down a half size. I bought the same size shoe I normally wear and after a few minutes of warming up they were a little looser than I would have liked.

Rating for this product: 5 May 23, 2010

Bought these never worn anything by La Sportiva and love them. I went with a size 12 (45.5) which is what I normally wear running and they fit perfectly. Great traction but still light and offer good cushioning without feeling like you are walking on marshmallows. Sticking with these.

Icebreaker GT150 Velocity Crewe - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 23, 2010

I only wear icebreaker running now. Soft, light, breathable yet keeps you warm if clouds roll through and the temperature drops. Just a great versatile running shirt. The softness is huge after miles on a trail, no rubbing. You can apply whatever treatments you want to a synthetic for better performance/odor control but the all natural Merino takes the cake.

Comfy kickers to roll around town in. I normally where an 11.5 and these are a tad on the big at 11.5. Maybe size down a half size, but I can't say because I haven't tried on an 11.

Icebreaker GT200 Chase 1/4-Zip Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 8, 2010

I'd heard a lot about Icebreaker and how great the fit and merino were. This shirt quickly shed light on why people love Icebreaker. I wore it running on a cool night (upper 30's). I was a little freaked out the thin layer wasn't going to hack it, but after few minutes I was warm, the shirt kept me dry, and felt super light. Unbelievable stuff. It isn't loose but not tight either, Icebreaker merino gear is legit.

I where this shirt running or as a baselayer on a colder day. I didn't size up because I don't mind a little tighter fit and it isn't restrictive. Keeps you warm and wicks really well.
