VERY bright

Cutter District Rear Safety Light

Cutter District Rear Safety Light

Rating for this product: 4 December 15, 2008

The reflective surface inside the housing makes this light really bright. It is light weight, easy to mount and has a clip for multiple applications. The only downside with this light is that it has only one, steady mode, no flash. I like flashing mode better for riding in traffic, it is also helpful on multi-day wilderness rides or hikes, gives us a few signaling options.

Nice, but...

Outdoor Research Flex-Tex Gaiter

Outdoor Research Flex-Tex Gaiter

Rating for this product: 4 November 17, 2008

It is the best low cut gaiter I could find for winter use, but I agree with the previous reviewer -- why not waterproof breathable?
My experience with sizing: I bought the L/XL and found that: a)the gaiters were too big for TNF Ultra 104 trail running shoes (men's size 10), but b)they fit pretty good with Lowa Renegade boots, also size 10. I hope this helps.

Baro: 300 - 1100 mBar (8.86 - 32.48 inHg). I calibrate it once a month using info from weather.gov

Awesome.

Fit is Not as Good as before

Montrail Hardrock Trail Running Shoe - Mens

Montrail Hardrock Trail Running Shoe - Mens

Rating for this product: 3 November 9, 2008

This shoe is best for long distance runs/hike over SHARP rocky terrain, for people with normal to narrow feet. I owned two pairs of Montrail Hardrock shoes (bought in 2005 and 2007) before, loved them both, just bought my third pair (July 2008) but decided to return it because it seems the new Hardrock is sized 1/2 size smaller then its predecessors. Got the Asics Cumulus instead which is a neutral road shoe. Less protection but more "feel", closer to the earth - and I am discovering that less protection equals more awareness, and since I run on rocky, rugged Arizona desert trails all the time, I am loving this new concept.
I also like the TNF Ultra 104 (and 100), the Ultra 104, it fits my wide forefeet better then the Hardrock of the same size.
These shoes were very protective and had great traction even when all the tread was worn away (tested on East-cost rock, root and mud during down-pour). Very durable, my first pair lasted a really long time. The second pair began wearing much faster, not sure why, Montrail said it was normal wear.

not enough pictures

Outdoor Research WS Gorilla Balaclava

Outdoor Research WS Gorilla Balaclava

Rating for this product: 3 January 7, 2008

Hi. This is not a review. This balaklava has more pieces than you picture. You need to post more pictures, and give a more detailed description. I was looking for something exactly like, even chatted with a gear expert, but ended up not buying it because I was told -- there was no nose protection (the kind with an opening at the bottom). You guys are great, I'm sure you will correct this.

Impressive

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Jacket - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 16, 2007

I ordered this jacket along with Mountain Hardware's Phantom, and I decided to keep the Phantom because I need to go as light as possible (15 oz vs. 24), but I was very impressed with the workmanship, the colour and the "feel" of the Subzero. Great job, Mountain Hardwear.
