I have softshell jackets from Arc'teryx, Marmot, Patagonia and Mountain Hardware and this jacket is by FAR my favorite. I used this jacket for a 10 mile bike ride (10mph wind - 42 degrees) and I did not even feel the wind come through my jacket once. The fabric is very soft and slightly stretchy and the inside is insulated by a light layer of fleece to keep you nice and warm. The pit zips are HUGE, which is a good thing, and they do work very well when needed. The wrists have velcro straps and they are not cheap - unlike my Arc'teryx Beta SL's wrists straps. The Inuit is a VERY fit jacket meaning it is tailored to fit your body closer, so if you are wanting to layer underneath this jacket then I might suggest you buy a size up. I love this jacket because it keeps me warm, keeps out wind and light moisture, looks good and is a great investment (lets face it, you might as well spend a little more money for nicer gear thats going to last a long time than spend less money on cheap gear thats not going to last 2 years). I would recommend this jacket to anyone.

I have several jackets and fleeces from Patagonia and I think the Guide is my most used after my R1. The only other jacket that I have that I can compare it to is my Arc'teryx Epsilon AR - except I think the Guide has a lot more function and purpose. The fabric on the Guide is not too thick and it is indeed stretchy. There is some fleece on the inside for light insulation but I would layer if I was wearing this on colder days. There are 3 pockets on the inside (1 chest, 2 hand) and they all get plenty use with all the stuff I carry. I think it has a very nice casual look so you can wear it around downtown after you hike. Overall, I love my Guide jacket and I would recommend it.

This jacket is one of the least used that I own. There is really nothing special about this jacket except that it looks great and can hold off some light moisture. My Epsilon AR doesn't get used very much because I have other jackets that do a better job of keeping out wind/moisture that are even lighter than this jacket. But If I want to look good at casual events, I usually bring this jacket along.

The two mesh pockets on the inside are huge! I could probably fit 2 footlong meatball sandwiches in these pockets (they would be nicely squished though). I usually keep my keys or my cellphone (small Nokia) in the arm pocket. If you are looking for a very simple, nice looking, nice fabric jacket than this might be the jacket you should get.

I have been using my spoilers for about 5 months now and I have to say that they have become some of my favorite sunglasses. I am more used to the bigger "face hugger" style sunglasses, but I have really grown to love these Interlock spoilers. On the days when it isn't too bright outside, but I still need to wear some eye protection, I can switch the lenses out to a different lens shade - it only takes about a minute to change lenses and is really simple. They also look really good and provide good eye coverage. Overall, I would recommend these.

Incredible...the down sweater has 84 reviews and counting - this should tell you how good this jacket is! It is one of those jackets that you take with you everywhere and gets used and worn often.

The down sweater is extremely light yet provides surprising amounts of insulation and warmth. I usually only wear a tshirt underneath my jacket, even on really cold days of around 30 degrees. It does pack down very small and compact which makes it alot easier to carry around with you when you aren't wearing it. The design is very well executed and the colors (mine is the light gecko green) are very appealing. I've had the chance to use it in some rain and it did do a good job of shedding the moisture but I would not want to wear this for long periods of time in rain or snow.
It really is a great jacket and I would recommend you buy it.

I have a lot of Icebreaker clothing, mostly T-shirts, and this is probably one of my favorites. It is very soft and light - I agree with one of the reviewers below that this is an excellent traveling shirt. I don't usually fit into a large size however, I bought a large anyway and threw it in the dryer for a few minutes (NOT recommended) and it did shrink to the size that I wanted it and now fits perfectly!

I mostly bought this because I wanted a watch that would be light, simple and great for taking on hikes/outdoor activities. It looks pretty cool and I get asked about it all the time. I'm not so sure about the whole "Negative Ion Technology" witchcraft stuff but I really like the vivid orange color!

I don't know what everyone else is talking about but I think this jacket fits perfect! I am 5'10 and 175lbs and a Medium fits me just fine. The Luft is actually more wind resistant than I thought and it has the right amount of insulation to keep me nice and warm. I think the Beehive color looks pretty dang cool too.

My only concerns with this jacket are that there is ALOT of stitching, which concerns me because it may come loose sooner than later...but so far it is still in good shape! Also, the zippers snag more often when I am zipping it up, but I personally don't think its that big of a deal.

Overall - Great warm jacket and looks great. I recommend it!

One of the reasons I purchased PlatyBottles was because I wanted to be able to have the ability to remove the hose from the bottles and this works perfectly. I haven't had any issues with leaking (at the screw-cap) or other problems.

First of all, the Vertical bag has sooooo many pockets and compartments which is why for me, it is perfect for school. It holds my laptop, a few books and keeps all my chords (for the laptop) and other school supplies separated and easily reachable. I haven't had a chance to use this bag hiking but I'm sure it would do the job just fine. Overall it is a very great choice for a backpack!

This bag has been everywhere with me and has held up better than I have hoped. I have used my Heli Pro in Alaska for 3 summers, many camping/hiking trips in So. Utah and I have used it for school (although this is not a good school backpack, but I made it work). It fits tons of gear and keeps things nicely organized inside with pockets and compartments.

I mainly use this cube for my shirts and shorts and it works great. Its a great way to be even more organized when you travel. Although if you have too many cubes then it becomes annoying I have found. But if you like to travel organized then get yourself one of these.

I have been using this fleece jacket since I bought it last November. It is very warm and fits great underneath a shell. The fleece is soft, light and provides lots of insulation. If you are looking for a straightforward fleece jacket that fits good, looks good, and feels good then buy this!

This bag actually holds a lot more than I thought it would. I can fit all of my toiletries in this bag and still have a little room to throw in some extras. When I traveled before, I used to just throw all my bathroom supplies in a big plastic bag and hope nothing spills or leaks but when I saw the wallaby I immediately bought it to save me some hassle.

I love the hook on top because I can hang it on door handles, tree branches, bushes, or other improvised locations. I have used this many times in hotels, airplanes and camping trips and it performs great each time. I recommend it!

I bought this cube for the purpose of stuffing my Arc'teryx Beta SL jacket inside of when I'm hiking or camping and it works perfectly. I have also used this cube to keep my cellphone and Ipod chargers, flashlights and other random small gear. It is obviously overpriced, but for me this is the right size for the right gear.

I have several pieces of Eagle Creeks's luggage and this is by FAR my most favorite and most used. I do a lot of long-term travelling in the summer and this is the bag that has been through it all. Even after months of use and abuse my ORV is still very durable minus some scratches/dents and the wheels still glide like they were almost brand new too. This is the perfect travel-friendly luggage piece and I recommend you buy it. Plus you can't beat the Eagle Creek warranties too!

I have been searching for a basic, light and durable outdoor cookware set for a long time now and I can say that I have found it! This set has everything you need to boil, fry or cook your food while you are outdoors. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by how much your food choices have opened up because you now have the correct tools to cook with. Instead of just bringing top ramen and a few cans of stew, I now bring eggs, bacon and pancake mix and even steaks!

If you want a no BS outdoor cookware set then buy this.

I use this shirt for running and working out and it has performed flawlessly. It is probably one of my lightest shirts I own yet it is still durable too. It is soft and I have never had a problem with it being itchy.

Icebreaker sure knows how to make great clothing and this shirt is no different from the rest. If you want an awesome shirt for running or exercising than buy this one!

I think these bottles are awesome! I bought both the 1 liter and 2 liter sizes. I usually pack the 2 liter bottle in my bag for work each day and use the 1 liter bottle for my reserve tank when I go hiking or camping. Once they have been drained of water, I fold them up nicely in my pack and forget about them until I need to fill water up again. I recommend it!

This jacket keeps me very warm and sometimes TOO warm when I am outside on cold days. The fleece on the inside is very very soft and looks amazing (the Deep Dusk color with the orange fleece inside is pretty incredible). I love how Arc'teryx contrasts colors to make their clothing stand out even more. The Hyllus Jacket provides very good insulation and the outside fabric even sheds lights amount of moisture, although it is definitely not waterproof. If you have the budget then but it!

I have been using this bag on air and car travel for the past 5 months and I can say it is the perfect bag for short trips. It has tons of pockets and compartments to hold the many necessities (and extras) of travelling. I can pack about 3 days worth of clothes in here with all my toiletries ect. It is extremely durable and built to last a long time. I recommend this purchase for all your short term travelling!

I love these chomps because they taste good and give me more energy when I need it. I recently hiked to the top of Frary's Peak on Antelope Island (in Utah) and I had a few packs of these and 2 liters of water in my bag. I was surprised at how much energy I still had when I reached the summit after eating only 2 packs. I fully recommend these! They might taste a little TOO good though...

I usually pack about 5 of these on hikes and camping trips for the times when I need some sugar/energy and don't feel like eating my lunch/dinner yet. I think they taste great too!

I go running with this shirt all the time and it drys really fast and is very light! It is a little pricey but it is worth it, promise!

Its a tshirt with a giant Arc'teryx logo on the side...what more do ya want? The cotton is soft and it SHRINKS big time. I purchased a large and the first time I put it through the wash and dryer it shrank to about a medium size. But I was fine with it because it actually fits quite well now.

I am a canyoneering beginner and this was my first ATC. After about a years worth of climbs and repels I am STILL using this same one! This is a very basic set-up that is easy and straight forward to use. The carabiner is a very solid product and hasn't let me down. I recommend this to anyone who is still a beginner and even a intermediate.

We use it on our boat to keep cellphones, flashlights, keys and other small valuables dry. It is completely waterproof and is easily seen because of the bright orange coloring.

I bought these for my mother and she LOVES them! She wears them just about every day too. Here is a direct quote from her, "These are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn!" My mother is a very picky shopper and I was very surprised (and relieved) that she approved of them. If you wanna make your momma happy then buy these for her!

These straps are perfect for your ENO hammaocks. I have used them many times now and have had no problems whatsoever. The only problem is trying to find a good spot to put your straps around. I recommend buying these!

This jacket provides good insulation, looks very nice and fits great. I bought the totem color and the inside looks like a skinned muppet; very vivid blue! I use this jacket whenever I go snowboarding or cold weather activities because I NEVER get cold when I do wear it. I'm only giving it 4 stars because it is, in my opinion, very overpriced. But if it fits your budget then get it!

Buy it! This is so easy to set-up and take down and it doesn't weigh that much. It doesn't come with straps or anything like that to attach to trees or whatever so you'll have to buy some. I love this hammock and plan to use it alot! Buy it now!!

I easily could have spent a hundred dollars less and bought a Precip or Torrentshell jacket but I bought this Arc'teryx Beta SL instead. I have used this jacket in light and hard rain and it sheds water perfectly. Its simply just a Gore-tex shell with a few pockets and a hood - really nothing more to it. I am also not a big fan of the velcro straps on the wrists but I'm sure I'll get used to them eventually. This jacket can be rolled down to a very small packable size for just-in-case scenarios.

Overall, if you can afford the extra 100+, buy it!

This bag fits my lunch, cell phone, keys, ipod, water bottle and sun glasses with a little room to spare. It fits great around your shoulders and doesn't move around on my back when I bike to work. If you want a small bag that will carry enough for a small hike or bike ride than this is your bag!

The moment this jacket arrived at our home my brother insisted that he get one too, it simply looks THAT good! I have used this jacket for meetings, work, and even a few dates and all I can say is that it is smokin' hot! I was pleasantly surprised by how fit this jacket really is. I am 5'11, 175lbs and the medium is actually a really great size for me. The wool is soft and does NOT scratch the skin. My only beef with this jacket is that the hand pockets seem just a little bit too small but I'm not going to worry about the small stuff. Overall, I recommend this jacket completely!

I was shopping around for a very light athletic fit shirt and I found exactly what I wanted. This shirt is VERY light and looks great with my jeans. I love merino wool clothing and the quality is definitely there...although the price is pretty high but still worth it!

I am very happy with my purchase of the R1. My brother bought one of these and after I tried his on I knew I had to buy one for myself. First of all, I noticed that it is very light weight. If I use a hardshell over the R1 I am PLENTY warm, even in our 30 degree weather. Plus it looks great enough that I can just wear this over an undershirt and look good walking through town. The texture is soft and has a "waffle" like pattern but isn't tacky by any means. Overall, I recommend this to anyone looking for a great laying jacket.

This shirt exceeding all of my expectations! I am 5'11 175lbs and a medium was just fine for me. It is probably my lightest shirt that I own. I am very picky about wool clothing but I can always count on Icebreaker to make the clothing fit and look great! If you want to look good wherever you go then buy this shirt!

You should see just how cool the Gold Medal color looks in real life. I don't know how many people ask me where I got this and tell me how good it looks (not to brag). The very first thing I noticed when I tried this on was that this is WARM! I almost didn't need any other jacket or sweater when I was walking around outside in 30degree weather. The texture is extremely soft and looks great too. It is a little pricey for what you could get for another brand or whatnot but as with most anything Arc'teryx, it is very very nice quality. You spend a little more money for something that will last ALOT longer. I highly recommend this.

I was very surprised when I got this shirt in the mail..its even better than I thought it would be! It is very light and soft, nice fitting and looks great with my jeans or my khaki pants. I plan on using this shirt mostly for work but that might change if I have a hot date...

-Update- I originally bought the blue color and it looked good enough that I wanted different colors too so I bought the sable gray. The sable gray looks very sharp but it isn't so much gray because it has green mixed in with the gray color...just wanted to let you know

I bought this shirt because I really liked the plum heather color and it looks even better in person. This shirt is very LIGHT and SOFT! I bought a size larger because I knew if I put it in the dryer it was going to shrink (just a little bit) and it did.

I bought this jacket not sure if it was going to be a good purchase or not. I am now glad I did make the purchase. The Wind Stopper fabric does a great job of stopping most of the wind/cold/very light rain but I would definitely layer if I was going in colder than about 45 degree temperatures for too long. It looks great and btw, it is a little bit closer fit but I don't mind. It is expensive/overpriced for what you could get with an Arc'teryx or Marmot but I still think its a great jacket.

I am very happy with my purchase! I bought the everglade color and all I can say is that I am very impressed.

It has an athletic cut to it which means its going to be fitting more close to your body but you surprisingly still have room to move around freely. This jacket may seem a little pricey but it is most definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

I bought the 20L size and have tested it out once since I purchased it. This thing holds ALOT of water (about 5 gallons). I plan on using it for water filtering, washing dishes, and getting friends wet who decide to sleep in when we are camping... It folds down into a really tight and compact case so you can store it easily. I highly recommend it!

It is comfortable, looks great, keeps my head warm and not to mention, people ask me all the time what the "lizard fossil" is... Recommended!

I bought the carbide color because it looked like a very nice neutral light color...however when I received it, it did not look anything like the above carbide style. It was darker and had a hint of green in it, which is why I exchanged it. It is a warm jacket with a very interesting fleece texture that I have grown to really like. Overall this is a very nice jacket.

This is a great harness! When we would go repelling in the past, my friend let me borrow is momentum harness and I loved it so much I had to buy my own. Comfortable, affordable and looks pretty cool too.

Awesome headlight!! This is by far the brightest flashlight I have owned. It is also light and compact. Buy it! You will not regret it!

Great gloves but the sizing is off. I don't usually wear a large in glove sizes but I ordered a large just in case and they still seem just a little tight (maybe after some use they will fit better??). They are very warm on the inside and provide lots of insulation. The fingers are just a little stubby.. Overall they do as advertised.

-Update April 3rd 2011- I have been using these gloves all winter and I would still give them 4 stars. I have only used them once boarding though, and I would say that they are not as waterproof as I would like them to be but they are still great gloves.

I love this backpack because it has lots of room, lots of pockets, looks cool and has its own hydration pack inside. I am using this pack for light hiking/camping and it works great! I am sure it is an awesome pack for anything really.

At first, I was worried that this jacket might be too puffy but once I opened the package I was relieved! It is not puffy at all! It has the right amount of insulation to keep me real warm, lots of pockets (it has a giant mesh pocket on the inside) and a hood that doesn't droop down over my eyes.

My nephew loves dinosaurs and I bought the Neon Green Dinomonsters to go with his blue helmet. They look good, the cost is just right and they will last him for a few more years.

I bought this helmet (Blue Go Tech) for my nephew and he loves it! It fits great and it looks great!
