These bags are great. Coupled with a carabiner they make for great additional storage in a tent or around camp and the multiple sizes come in quite handy when organizing smaller stuff in your pack. Also, they really don't get dirty which is nice. The only down side on these is their cost. The material is great, they're well made and I haven't found anything else out there that quite compares.

This little lamp is perfect for the tent and get's the job done if all you're looking to light up is a small patch on a table. It's super light and packs small as the description suggests. No complaints at all but it would be sweet if they added a light to the top as well so you could use it as a flashlight... it would be the perfect combo.

I don't have too much original information to express except that the housing is in fact tiltable even though the specs on backcountry say it is not. Other than that it is super bright, very light and after a couple uses it is second nature switching between bright/dim/strobe/red. It has quickly replaced all other headlamps!

is more fun, but that's not really a fair fight! These socks are great, super light and they dry quickly! They also keep their stretch and feel longer than most socks i've ran and rode in! Warning, if you're planning on picking up a pair you might as well just buy a bunch and save on the shipping!

This pullover can do it all. Great on its own or used as a layering piece. Also great for cool weather runs or bikes as well as looking good enough to wear out on the town. Overall a great shirt. Only one complaint... the sleazes could be a bit longer!

This is the perfect day pack whether you're strolling around campus or hiking through the woods! The laptop sleeve and back panel construction protect a notebook better than most backpacks and the main interior is large enough to stash all your books or plenty of gear and food. Best of all, i've been using this backpack for more than 3 years and it's still going strong!

TNF momentum jacket gets one and half thumbs up (and yes you can put up exactly one and a half thumbs). It's great on it's own for spring or fall days when the temps aren't going to break through the mid 40's and it's flex and cut make it superb for cold rides or runs. The only problem is, on windy days, if you're not breaking a sweat, and you're just bummin' around town or campus, the wind cuts right through it giving you the shivers... then again goosebumps and an instant hot cocoa and schnapps yearning aren't the worst feelings in the world!

This hat is perfect. Very warm and the microfleece liner adds comfort and wind resistance where you need it!

These sandals are great! They are much more comfortable than most other sandals (reef included) and while cleaner bottle openers abound when your at the bar or your keys are close by but when your canoing across the lake or camping in the backcountry it comes in very handy!

Like most TNF products this backpack is well made and gets the job done. That said, in my opinion its more than worth the extra 30-40 bucks to pick up a pack like the recon or hotshot if you're set on a north face pack! Best piece of advice to consider when buying gear, spend the extra coin for something that is of better quality and you really like and will use for many, many years!

I picked up this fleece about a month ago and forgot about most of my other ones. It's perfect during any sort of outdoor aerobic activity because of the generous sized pit zips. Its versatility makes it a great pick up. It's warm enough to use as a jacket when it's warm and is also fitted perfectly to wear under an outer layer. Also, who can complain about the price?
