Deuter Freerider 22 SL Backpack - Women's - 1350cu in

October 12, 2009

Question about the hydration system on this pack. Does the tube/nipple zip into the shoulder strap so that it's kept warm and doesn't freeze? Or is there some other mechanism for keeping the tube/nipple warm?

OR Refuge Down Jacket

Outdoor Research Refuge Down Jacket - Women's

Outdoor Research Refuge Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 August 25, 2009

This seems like a very well-made jacket; however, I went with the Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Parka instead for several reasons. First, the OR jacket had a very shiny fabric sheen that I found kind of ugly. I liked the non-shiny, subdued look of the MH parka. Second, the fit was much boxier than the MH parka, which came down over my hips and butt nicely.

That said, it's a nice jacket and looks high quality, and OR makes great stuff. Yes, the hood is enormous, but you can easily pull the toggles to minimize it, or just unzip it completely. It looks fine when minimized. Nice pockets.

I am 5'3" and 117 and the extra small fit well.

Black Diamond Ascension Custom STS Climbing Skins

March 6, 2009

Hi- I just got some 160 cm Phat Luvs (135-102-112). I know that the 130 mm skins for sale here will be wide enough, but it says the length is 167-174. Will I be able to trim them down for 160 cm? Thanks!

Ulu Suluk Boots

ULU Suluk Winter Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 September 19, 2008

I haven't acutally worn these boots yet since I ordered them in summer, but they appear to be winners. They are comfortable (walking around the house, at least), very attractive, and look well-made. I look forward to wearing them this winter. They don't have the massive, clunky look of my old Sorels but appear very warm. They do run a bit large--I normally wear 7.5 but ordered an 8.

Mountain Hardwear Winter Wander Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 November 1, 2007

I haven't actually used these pants yet because it hasn't gotten cold enough since ordering them. But they seem great. They fit really well--very flattering for sure. They are stretchy and easy to move in. They seem warm. They seem like perfect pants for winter, for walking/hiking, hanging out outdoors, etc.

Kavu Rosie Riveter Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 November 1, 2007

I had to return these because they were too long (I'm 5'3"). They were also a bit big at size 6; a 4 would have been better. Other than the fit problem, they were cute pants. Only drawback is that the fabric seemed kind of thin and not very durable.

I had to return these pants because they were too big. However, they appeared to be cute pants. Only negative thing I noticed was that the fabric looks kind of thin/flimsy.

Adventure Stretch Short - Women's

Columbia Adventure Stretch Short - Women's

Columbia Adventure Stretch Short - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 July 24, 2007

In theory these are great shorts--nice fit, stretchy material, flattering. But they lack either belt loops or a drawstring, so you can't adjust the waist. After wearing them for a few hours, they started to sag down onto my hips. If you prefer shorts w/o loops or drawstring, then they'd be great; otherwise, look for something else.

Arc'teryx Delegate Shorts - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 July 17, 2007

Nice shorts but they weren't quite what I was looking for. They are jeans-style and have a nice fit. It says Arc'Teryx in large letters on the back pocket, which kind of annoyed me.

These are really nice shorts--great stretch fabric and a flattering fit. They would be great for hiking. However, they lack either belt loops or a drawstring. There's no way to tighten or adjust the waist. After an hour, they started to sag onto my hips.

These are nice shorts--stretchy fabric, good fit, cool. However, they lack either belt loops or a drawstring. After wearing them for an hour or two, they sagged down my hips too far.

Arc'teryx Delegate Shorts - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 June 27, 2007

These shorts seemed very nice--good fabric, well constructed--but they just weren't what I was looking for. These are less of a hiking short and more of a wear-around-town short. I also didn't like the way that Arc'Teryx was written in large letters on the top of the pocket on the butt.

Not so Great

Lolë Caress Hoody Shirt Long-Sleeve - Women's

Lolë Caress Hoody Shirt Long-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 2 February 8, 2007

This hoody looks really cute, and it was when I first put it on. But it isn't cut quite right. It rides up/back on the shoulders, so I had to frequently pull the bottom hem down in front. It is also cut rather short (and I'm short and short-waisted to begin with) and too boxy for its shortness. In general, Lole seems to make good stuff, but this just didn't fit right. I returned it. The fabric is great, though.

Rating for this product: 5 August 2, 2006

This tank rocks. It fits really well and seems well-made. The brown color is super cute. It's cotton and more suited for wearing to work or around town, as opposed to hiking/biking/etc.
