I wear these to work, and then I can head straight to the crag. I love the articulated knees, so I don't have to worry about pulling them up during the crux of a climb. They are super durable too. I might just have to pick up another pair or two.

Mad Rock Hustler Approach Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 April 23, 2012

These things fell apart within two months, and that was just from wearing them at work. The rubber at the toe separated on both shoes. They are a little bulky and stiff, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Bolle Nova Goggle - Photochromic

Rating for this product: 5 April 23, 2012

I wasn't sure what to think about Bolle goggles, but I have some Bolle sunglasses. I have been super happy with this purchase. The goggles fit perfectly with my Pro-tec helmet. The lens works great in most lighting situations. Haven't tried night riding with them. But when you can play all day, why should I. Sweet goggle.

Rating for this product: 3 April 23, 2012

bought these for my brother-in-law. He thought he could rent goggles at the resort, but learned quickly that wasn't the case, and paying nearly double at the resort wasn't an option. This is a solid goggle. Comfortable, and versatile enough for most lighting situations.

Rating for this product: 5 April 23, 2012

Work, the gym, running, these have worked even for my Kung Fu classes. I love the wide toebox and forefoot. It gives me plenty of room to spread out. This is a solid shoe. I will definitely buy these again.

Bought these for my wife, and between these and her vivo's she doesn't want to wear anything else. Has a minimalist feel, but has enough cushion you don't feel like you are going to bruise your feet. This is a winner.

These run a little large, or maybe I was just looking for a tighter compression, but the first pair I bought were big. These kept my legs fresh for a longer run next day, after a short 3 mile hill workout. solid compression

Never Summer Proto CTX Snowboard - Wide

Rating for this product: 4 February 6, 2012

Took this out in the 160, the other day. After riding the same board for ten years it took a couple of runs to get a solid feel for the board. After that, it was fantastic. This is a great board. It has great control, and it was fantastic for just bombing the hill. It was the best day out this year.

Probably the best base layer I own. I love this. I work in a cold environment during the winter, and this shirt keeps me going all day. I don't have to worry about how cold it is going to get. Super comfortable, and it looks great too. Probably my favorite Stoic item yet.

nice comfy cotton poly blend that keeps your temp regulated a little better than 100% cotton. And it wont shrink. The shirt is long which is nice. You don't have to constantly worry that you are showing something off. The material feels great against your skin too.

Super light trail runner.

Montrail Rogue Racer Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Montrail Rogue Racer Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 23, 2011

I wasn't a fan of Montrail shoes before this, (had a pair of Montrail rock shoes) but have come to love this shoe. All my foot and shin splint pain has left me after starting to run in the rogue racer. Used it on the second leg of a relay not to long ago, and it performed admirably. After having run on minimalist style shoes for a couple of years, I was a little worried the added elevation might throw me, but I haven't had any troubles.

VIVOBAREFOOT Evo Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 June 23, 2011

This is a great minimalist trail shoe. Stay off the roads and sidewalks with this one though. The sole is a little stiff for road running, but is great on the trails. No worrying about what rocks are going to bruise your feet. It breathes well too. And it looks pretty cool, everyone always wants to know what it is.

Can't say it is the best looking sock, but it certainly is comfortable. Great for running, whether on the trail or road. I switched to synthetic running socks a few years ago, and haven't looked back. This one will keep me running for years.

I bought this jacket for my brother-in-law so he could ride without complaint. He was riding in either a super bulky jacket or a little windbreaker. He loves this jacket. It's great for all conditions on the mountain. Keeps you dry and comfortable without being overly bulky. This is a solid resort jacket.

I love this shirt. It keeps me cool when it's warm, and it keeps me warm when it is cool. It has a great fit, and I don't have to worry about it stretching out of shape. I am very happy with this shirt. The fabric is a little thin, but I guess that comes with the Merino 150, and not something a little heavier.

Mountain Hardwear Lynx Fleece Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 November 20, 2010

I bought this jacket for my wife who doesn't go outside if it is under 70 degrees. We walked to dinner last night in 40 degree weather and she didn't complain once. I think this might just be the warmest jacket she has ever owned. She loves it, and wont take it off. It looks great and is super soft and comfy. I haven't got her out to the slopes yet, but this jacket might just be the first step in the right direction.
