Rating for this product: 5 September 1, 2009

Comfortable, great support, perform well in water or on land. The same great quality you can expect from Keens other footwear. Other than the fact that rocks can slip into them and get under your feet, I really can't find anything else I don't like about them.

Patagonia Capilene 2 Zip-Neck - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 1, 2009

I've worn this shirt everywhere from the office, to bike rides, to the beach. It never gets too hot, never gets too cold, and fits great as an overlayer, underlayer, or on its own. A great shirt from Patagonia.

Nice zip off pants

Patagonia Borderless Trek Zip-Off Pant - Men's

Patagonia Borderless Trek Zip-Off Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 September 1, 2009

I greatly appreciate the versatility of these zip off pants. The material is tough enough to stand up to anything, but stretchy enough to be comfortable. My only complaints about these pants are that the material is a bit loud while walking, and some zips at the bottom of the legs to make converting into shorts without taking my boots off would be very useful. Otherwise, another solid product from Patagonia!

Almost as good as their boxer brief cousins

Patagonia Active Classic  Boxer - Men's

Patagonia Active Classic Boxer - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 September 1, 2009

These boxers provide extreme comfort, do a great job of regulating moisture and temperature, and have just the right amount of stretch. The only downside is that, because of their baggy fit, they tend to ride up a lot more than the boxer brief version. I'd go with the boxer briefs.

These are definitely the most comfortable boxers I have ever worn. They stay in place but have enough stretch to move with you. They do a great job of moisture and temperature regulation. Worth every penny.

Quality shirt

The North Face VaporWick Ruckus T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

The North Face VaporWick Ruckus T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 20, 2009

I've taken this shirt out on a few bike rides and hikes and it has performed excellently. Soft to the touch, wicks away moisture with ease, and maintains a comfortable temperature whether you are working hard or taking a breather. Although I haven't put it through anything too rigorous yet, the material seems very tough. Has a somewhat loose cut so if you are looking for a slim fit, you may want to keep looking. I'll be picking up more of these!

The North Face Pumori Fleece Jacket - Men's

The North Face Pumori Fleece Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 20, 2009

This North Face fleece does great on it's own, but zips easily into my North Face Mountain Light Shell for colder temps. Definitely a good jacket that can do well in a wide variety of temperatures. I'm fairly tall and slender and the jacket is slightly shorter than I would prefer but not a very big issue. I look forward to getting years of use out of this fleece!

Rating for this product: 5 February 11, 2009

As always, another great product from Keen. Having been very impressed by the comfort and quality of my Keen boots, sandals, and office shoes, I decided to try out their casual shoes. This is a very comfortable and good looking shoe. It doesn't offer the same arch support as most of their other footwear but still feels great. Definitely a step up from the old converse all stars!

Versatile jacket!

The North Face Mountain Light Jacket - Men's

The North Face Mountain Light Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 11, 2009

This thing can really get the job done in any conditions. If you have a good fleece zipped into it, it'll keep you warm. If it gets hot, you can take the fleece out and open up the vents to cool off. If the rain starts feeling, you can through on the hood and trust the gore tex to keep you bone dry. Tough material, and packs down to a pretty good size. I found it to fit true to size (I'm 6' and 160 lbs and a small fits me great even with some layering underneath.) Highly recommended!

DAKINE Covert Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 11, 2009

I'm glad I picked these up. I just took a trip to Switzerland and wore these almost every day. They do a good job of distributing the warmth and letting out extra heat if it gets too warm. Never too hot, never too cold. They also stay in place very well, which I've had trouble with in the past. Excellent product.

Great baselayer! Kept me warm, but not too warm, while doing a variety of winter activities. I even managed to fall over in the snow with no jacket overtop (don't ask) and this thing was dry before I knew it. Great temperature, moisture, and smell management.

Rating for this product: 5 February 11, 2009

I finally decided to upgrade from my 2000 version of this same pack, and am so glad I did it. This bag does it all! My camelbak fits into it perfectly and the insulated tube strap is super convenient. I love how all of the straps pack into the bag out of the way. And, most importantly, this bag does what it is supposed to do, holds a ton of stuff without being bulky. Without a doubt, one of my most valuable pieces of equipment.

Tough bag that can hold it all

DAKINE Tour Snowboard Bag

DAKINE Tour Snowboard Bag

Rating for this product: 5 February 11, 2009

I picked up the 165cm for my 160cm board and it doesn't seem too big for the board. I can put my board, boots and some light clothes inside with ease. The tarp-lined inside keeps moisture from soaking into the material. And the padding is more than good enough for airline travel.

Nice!

Nixon Player Watch - Men's

Nixon Player Watch - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 11, 2009

This watch looks great but still has a clean, simple style. Fits in at the office, but is still tough enough to get out on the trail or in the water if you so desire. I have pretty skinny wrists and, despite the fairly big face, this watch looks right at home. My only gripe is that sometimes it is hard to read the time, due to the lack of numbers on the face. But if you are looking for a watch more for its style than its functionality, look no further.

DAKINE Wind Blocker Full-Zip Hoody - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 9, 2008

The usual quality you can expect from Dakine. This thing really does a good job of blocking out the wind and keeping you warm. The vents help to regulate temperatures if it gets too warm. It's not the softest lining inside but doesn't claim to be. Feels plenty comfortable with a shirt underneath. I ordered a size bigger than I usually wear and it fits great.

Rating for this product: 5 October 17, 2008

I must admit I haven't taken these boots out on anything too intense yet but so far I am loving them. They are super lightweight, extremely supportive, very grippy and maintain a comfortable temperature. I'm excited to get them out in some mud and snow to see how they hold up! Would definitely recommend these (as well as any other Keens) to anyone. Sizing is pretty accurate, although ordering a size bigger than usual probably wouldn't hurt.

The perfect surf pack

DAKINE Recon Pack - 1600cu in

DAKINE Recon Pack - 1600cu in

Rating for this product: 5 September 19, 2008

If you're looking for a pack that is made for the beach, this is the bag. It has pockets for everything you could possibly need. A waterproof wetsuit pocket, tarp-lined wax pocket, fleece-lined sunglass pocket, cooler pocket big enough for a drink or two, ipod/phone/pen holder pocket, a large main compartment, and a secret pocket where you can hide your keys. Although it would still get the job done, it's probably not the ideal bag for general/school use but that's not what it's made for anyways. But if you want a simply designed yet very functional beach/surf pack, you'll be more than happy with this one.

DAKINE Over Under Rolling Carry On - 2800cu in

Rating for this product: 4 February 19, 2008

This bag lives up to Dakine's reputation for making quality products. It makes it easy to keep your stuff organized and is tough enough to handle anything you put it through. However, even when not expanded it is a very tight fit in most overhead compartments when full. Dakine's Overhead bag would probably be better suited for overhead compartments, if that is what you are looking for.

Rating for this product: 5 February 18, 2008

Right out of the box these boots were very comfortable. The boa system is quick, easy and efficient and the air pump helps eliminate some of the extra room caused by my narrow feet. The stiffness of the boot is great for those who need quick reaction time. I have found them to be true to size. Definitely recommend these boots!

DAKINE Element Glove

DAKINE Element Glove

Rating for this product: 5 February 18, 2008

I've been riding with these gloves for about three seasons now and they have held up great. The liners help keep your hands drier and warmer and can even be worn by themselves on warmer days, or when you are out on the town in the evening. My only complaint is that they did not keep my hands warm in weather that dropped below 0 degrees, but I'm sure a couple heating packs would do the trick.
