Bought these for my mom for Christmas. She won't stop wearing them. They're cozy and cute too. She said she loves that the higher length keeps the lower part of her legs covered when she wants a little extra coziness.

Arc'teryx Axios Backpack 35 - Men's - 2136-2258cu in

July 11, 2011

I took this pack with me to Escalante this week and used to carry a 100oz Camelback bladder. It fit tightly for sure, but i like that the tightness kept the bladder upright and didn't let it fold over on itself. As far as balance goes, when I first put the pack on, I thought it felt pretty weird, but as soon as I adjusted the shoulder straps and hip belt to account for the side weight, it felt perfect. I also have to say that the fabric (even though it is lightweight)was totally bomber and wasn't phased when I was dragging it through narrow sandstone slot canyons.

I bought a few of these for my sister for Christmas, She and her husband car camp in Eastern Idaho a lot, and since they have two kids under age three, storage/organization is key. She said she loved these so much that she uses them around the house as well as camping.

Great look

La Sportiva Crosslite Trail Running Shoe - Men's

La Sportiva Crosslite Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 March 22, 2011

I got these so I could get back into trail running this spring, and I've dug them so far. The unique lace covers look great; i get a lot of compliments on them. It does make it a bit harder to custom-adjust the laces though. I have a wider foot, and i like to loosen my laces at the bottom. Maybe sizing up a half size would have fixed that. They feel great on a run though. It feels like my feet are being pushed forward.

Playful park, and good all mountain

Head Skis USA Jon Olsson Pro Alpine Ski

Head Skis USA Jon Olsson Pro Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 4 January 3, 2011

I tried these out in Park city on a rare day when the snow wasn't perfect. Pretty icey/crusty. Even in crappy snow, it was great all over the mountain. carved really well, had lots of pop and was really playful. Obviously it's not going to be a go to for powder, but for groomers and park. I loved this. Can't wait to try the next Jon Olsson sig ski.

Love them

Stoic Tour Softshell Pant - Men's

Stoic Tour Softshell Pant - Men's

So when I pulled these out of the box, my first thought was, 'no way are these going to be able to keep me dry.' The fabric was so lightweight and stretchy (way different from the crusty feel of most waterproof pants). So, i tried it out. I put them on and stuck one of my legs in the shower. The water beaded and ran off without a trace. I took them to a cold day at the Canyons and stayed totally warm with just a baselayer underneath.

I had to order a size up though. I have a 31"-32" waist and big thighs definitely did not fit in the medium. It fit around the waist, but my thighs looked like was in stretch pants. The large fit me much better (had to belt up, they don't have an adjustable waist band).

Comfort upgrade

Stoic Welder Insulated Softshell Jacket - Men's

Stoic Welder Insulated Softshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 December 21, 2010

Took this jacket out for it's maiden voyage at the Canyons in Park City this week. The first thing I loved was how light and soft it was (none of that crispy loud cardboardy feel that most waterproof jackets have).

The insulation was light-weight but did its job. I wore a mid-weight wool sweater underneath was perfectly warm even though it was a pretty cold day.

All in all I was pretty pleased with this.

Rating for this product: 5 November 4, 2010

I was crazy excited to try this pack out. So far, it’s been all love. My favorite thing is that I tend to overheat on my back even when the weather isn't that hot; the Axios 35 is super breathable so my back didn't get sweaty even after several hours. I tend to over-pack, so I really liked how accessible this pack was. It was great to not have to unpack everything to get at a piece of equipment. I could just jump in through the side and get what i wanted.
