Not bad at all. a small bag that holds my wallet, keys, cell, pen. it'll be tough to overload. the bag is well made and sturdy. i wouldn't pay full price though. wait until you find it on steepandcheap. it's held closed by a HUGE velcro closure, so it won't accidentally open, but it is LOUD.

Sea To Summit Polycarbonate Utensil Set

Rating for this product: 4 March 25, 2009

They're dishwasher safe and work really well! I like the clip and how lightweight they are. The biggest flaw is the size of the spoon. It is HUGE. I doesn't fit into youplait yogurt, so think about what you're packing your food into and see if the spoon fits into it. The orange looks a little like a kids toy, but it feels great in the hand. buy them!

Rating for this product: 3 March 13, 2009

They're really cute and fit great on my narrow feet. They're too tight across the top of my feet though. Maybe they need some more time to break in, but comfortable enough to wear around for a little bit. I wouldn't walk around for miles in them.

Smith Anthem Goggle

Rating for this product: 5 February 23, 2009

I've got 2 pairs of these and love them. I bought 2 pair even though you can change the lenses (I was afraid I'd mess up the lenses). I was even able to wear my glasses under these goggles, but they're NOT eyeglass compatible. They NEVER fog unless you stick them on your head for a while. My glasses fogged, but NOT my lenses. My vision isn't distorted and they're pretty sturdy. Buy them!

66 North Iceland Kaldi Zip Sweater - Women's

February 21, 2009

I got a 66 north fleece and it's a little snug and I usually always wear a small. Depends on how snug you'd like to go. I can wear a Tshirt and the fleece, but it's a LOT smaller than my TNF small fleece.

KEEN Roatan Shoe - Women's

KEEN Roatan Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 February 17, 2009

I bought these shoes for a possible trip to Bonnaroo and for kayaking. They don't have arch supports and are totally FLAT. The bottoms are pretty rugged and seem like they could handle any terrain. I can't seem to find my size when it comes to Keen, so this will probably be my last pair of them. I've tried 7 and 6.5 and it's either too big or a touch too small. I think I must have a narrow foot and heel, which may be my problem. They do feel like they'll dry quickly and seem comfortable around the house. To top it off, they're pretty cute!

Patagonia Inter-Continental Hideaway Skirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 January 20, 2009

I agree with the person that said a 2 would end up being too small, but a 4 was a touch too big. I usually get pants from J crew and get a petite 4, which fits great or a size 2 from gap. This is a skort and the skirt is to just above my knees, if my memory serves me right. I got the carbon which is a dark gray to almost black. the short part is a good length, which i love and the DWR finish is GREAT for misty days. I think it's femine enough to wear and no one would EVER guess it's a skort!

The North Face Nuptse Down Vest - Women's

The North Face Nuptse Down Vest - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 20, 2009

I just LOVE this vest!!! It's really warm and the neck comes up high on me, but not it doesn't rub my chin. I like how it stows into its own pocket, so it can be a travel pillow. the water resistant coating is GREAT. It's also helped to repel stains on the white vest I own. I got a small and I'm 5ft2 120lbs. I probably could go with an extra small, but I wear things big and this fits over sweatshirts. The best part is, it doesn't look TOO big. Warm, fuzzy pockets and the draw cords are in the pocket. This vest will NOT dissapoint!

Rating for this product: 5 December 15, 2008

I got these as a christmas gift last year. I do remember them being tight, but they streched and fit great now. They're really warm and comfy. I agree that my ankle gets cold at times. I've gone out the the garage and to get the mail in them, but wouldn't recommend making these outdoor slippers. VERY warm, fuzzy and comfy. I ordered the boots and they are just too small. These seem to end up more true to size.

I love to eat and HATE using plasic stuff. I keep this in my bookbag and it's been working great. I haven't used it for soup yet, but it works great with yogurt and salad. My only complaint is- no carrying case.

The North Face Ruckus Laptop Bag - 2150cu in

The North Face Ruckus Laptop Bag - 2150cu in

Rating for this product: 3 September 19, 2008

I'm 5'2 and 120lbs so the bag might just be too big for me anyway. The bag is HUGE and can easily hold my computer, school books, pens, pencils, a jacket, etc..., but there are a few problems with it. 1- no handle on the bag so it makes it tough to put on/ off and adjust on your body. 2) the "waist belt" is a joke!! It's just a 1 inch velcro strap and it's way below my waist, so I can't even use it. The bag is so big, it becomes really easy to overstuff it so weight becomes a problem. I'd suggest a bag with a handle. The PVC lining is nice and there is a seperation for the computer. A really nice pen/ pencil/ cell holder is a pocket and there is a nice pocket to put whatever. My last complaint is there is no place for water! It needs a hydration thing on the side.

Great boots!

Dalbello Sports Lotus Ski Boot - Women's

Dalbello Sports Lotus Ski Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 12, 2007

I enjoy these boots. They only have 3 buckles, and all of them have micro adjustments, which I like. The boots come with a removable insole. My only recommendation is to first get your boots PROFESSIONALLY fit! I didn't realize how snug ski boots are supposed to fit, but WOW, what a difference in my skiing performance! These boots did really well over blue runs and green runs, as well as bumps on the runs. These boots are GREAT for narrow feet.

Mountain Hardwear Transition Featherweight Zip T-Shirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 November 10, 2006

I wanted a 1/4 zip that is windproof, and the gearheads pointed this top out. It fits GREAT, and is WINDPROOF!! I like that part, but the black isn't a solid black... kinda a charcoal black or light black... I really can't explain it. Also, as someone else mentioned, you can feel the seams, and that does get a little scratchy. I might start wearing a light tee underneath, so I don't feel it.

Rating for this product: 5 October 31, 2006

OK... So everyone makes fun of me when I wear this because they say I look like I'm going to be shot out of a cannon. I'd agree that it's NOT the best looking hat I own. With that being said, it is the ONLY thing I can wear when I ski. It's WARM, light weight, windproof! Needless to say, I may look strange, but I don't have red ears or feel like my ears are going to freeze off. This hat will keep your ears AND head toasty through LONG days of skiing!

Rating for this product: 5 April 4, 2006

I bought these to wear under ski pants because I was tired of the polypropylene. They were nice and warm as well as comfortable. I like the fact that they are machine washable (up to 5% shrinkage-according to the pants) or dry clean. I felt they could be worn as pants alone. They are great!

Icebreaker BodyFit260 Olympia Zip - Women's

Icebreaker BodyFit260 Olympia Zip - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 April 4, 2006

I bought this to wear instead of my polypropylene long underwear. This top is wonderful. I live in the desert and I can wear it alone and I'm not too warm or cold. I also took it skiing with me and it was awesome. I can zip up the neck so I didn't need a neck gaiter. I like the thumb loop which allowed me to keep the sleeves under the gloves for added warmth. The top as I said before looks great on its own. The flax color is an olive green color, which I couldn't tell from my computer. All I can say about this top is BUY IT. Like I said, it kept me warm in below freezing temps and cool in 70F weather. You'll get your money's worth!

I have a pair of tortoise/brown lenses. These lenses block UV, but "brighten" the environment. The lenses are big, but not too big on my small face, so they seem to block more light.
