Armada VJJ Ski - Women's

If it's of any help, the 175cm skis weigh about 4.5 lbs. So that gives you a ballpark estimate.

Patagonia Au Bateau Dress - Women's

Patagonia Au Bateau Dress - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 20, 2012

I am an avid Patagonia dress lover, and this is yet another classic cut that offers both a casual or elegant feel depending on how you accessorize.
The fabric is very lightweight and soft.
There is a second panel of cloth in the upper half of the dress to give you extra protection if you prefer the 'commando' feel. I am a more petite lady, so this was definitely a dress, not a tunic. (I'm 5'3"). I always get tons of compliments when I wear this one, and would highly recommend it for it's effortless chic appeal.

Olukai Kui Sandal - Women's

Olukai Kui Sandal - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 April 27, 2012

These are absolutely beautiful sandals. (Obviously a bit spendy for flip flops, but worth the investment, I think!). The construction is flawless, and the leather is gorgeous, I opted for the "Dark Java" color which is wonderful for most any outfit. I like these so much because they are casual but can also be used to dress up your style a bit. The comfort is phenomenal, Olukai calls this the "wet sand principle" your feet actually sink down into the cushioning on these puppies. WOW. You can't really explain it, you just have to try it!

Arc'teryx Motus Crew - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Arc'teryx Motus Crew - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 April 14, 2012

Picked one of these up recently. I like the sun protection UPF of 50, great for hanging out in up in the mountains here in Utah. This is very lightweight and comfy to wear. The side pocket is awesome, perfect for stashing my car key. I use this mainly for trail running and mountain biking, and its moisture wicking properties are all-time!

I was surprised a bit by the sizing though. I typically take a size small at 5'3" tall and 120 lbs. The small was terribly short, (think going to be a belly shirt after a few whirls in the dryer), so I went with a Medium, which fit much better.

Scarpa Spark Shoe - Women's

Scarpa Spark Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 April 14, 2012

I'm new to the fine sport of trail running, but these are a game changer for me. My old clunky running shoes are gathering dust in the closet! I read that these were lightweight, but WOW, they feel like baby clouds on my feet!

So far they have been very comfortable, and despite the minimalist design, I haven't had any aches or pains to speak of. I am a woman's size 6 in most street shoes, I went ahead and ordered the size 37. This size is good, but a tiny bit loose. I probably could have gotten away with a 36.5, but it is not enough of an issue to bother with.

Overall very pleased with these, and they have helped me to launch a new passion for trail running!

Scarpa Crux Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 April 12, 2012

Ordered these on an impulsive whim.
Was upset at first, because the toe box was very uncomfortable, and rubbed against the top of my foot.
A few wears later, and these are some of my favorite shoes!

They broke in nicely after about 3 days of use, and offer excellent support. The heavy-duty sole provides stellar traction for us clumsy gals. I've used these in wet/wild conditions and didn't have any slippage, which is pretty unusual for me, as I'm not the most surefooted creature. Overall very pleased with this purchase. Construction appears solid, and hope to have these for many years to come.

Icebreaker Paramount Hooded Jacket - Women's

Icebreaker Paramount Hooded Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 April 11, 2012

This jacket is stunning. I have never owned a jacket more flattering than this one, the cut is absolutely perfect and I feel like a million bucks when I wear this out and about. Icebreaker included lots of thoughtful details like a smooth silky lining, pockets that both zip and snap, a 2-way zipper, a handy little breast pocket, and adjustable sleeve cuffs. The texture of this Merino wool is SO soft and looks just beautiful.

I was surprised about the sizing though. I typically take a small in most all brands, and was lucky enough to try this one on before buying. I am 5'3" and around 120 lbs and was SWIMMING in the size small. The sleeves were inches too long and the jacket itself was much too loose. The XS size was 100% perfect.

Hope to have this jacket for a long long while. Definitely WORTH the initial investment, because this baby is built to last. The classic cut will never go out of style...

Patagonia Bandha Dress - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 April 1, 2012

I have the older, longer version of this dress, which is so super flattering, comfortable, and effortless.
I loved the dress so much that I bought two of this shorter version, which I like better.

The shorter length works well for my petite stature. I wear this to work, bbqs, and even if I want to feel fancy while camping. It is beyond comfortable, and very fetching. Definite score!

Just picked up a pair o these babies. I am very pleased with fit and style, they look quite nice. The length is perfect for any activity, biking, hiking or running. I do like the little key pocket, though it could be a tiny bit larger. These are swell, since you can wear them a few times between washings, that antimicrobial treatment works like a charm!
I am about 5'3" and 120 lbs and fit into the size small comfortably.

CW-X Insulator Stabilyx 3/4-Tight - Women's

CW-X Insulator Stabilyx 3/4-Tight - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 March 11, 2012

I use these for skiing. The 3/4 length is perfect, as it doesn't interfere with your ski boot, and taller ski socks can be tucked up underneath the cuff. Totally comfortable, and this thermal pair definitely offers enough warmth for all but the coldest days up on the hill. I have found they are much too warm to exercise indoors, or in warmer temps.
I am 5'3" and 120 lbs, the XS would have been shockingly small on me. I opted for the size Small, and it is the correct size for me. They are a bit tricky to get on, but that is the way these tights are made to perform, so once you squeeze in, they feel good, look great, and perform excellent.

I highly recommend them for skiing!

Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 Tent: 2-Person 3-Season

Rating for this product: 5 March 2, 2012

Love this tent.
Picked it up for backpacking, but have only used it car camping thus far. Ridiculously easy to assemble, helps to have 2 people setting it up, but can be assembled solo without too much trouble. Love the design and double door access. (No more stumbling over your partner in the night to take a wee).

Myself and my boyfriend are pretty small in stature, so we find that this tent is pretty spacious. We can fit a small gear bag each, in addition to having plenty of sleeping room.

Nordica Firearrow F3 Ski Boot - Women's

Nordica Firearrow F3 Ski Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 March 1, 2012

I have a wider foot, so the 100mm last fits great. I am a women's size 6.0 street shoe, and I opted for the size 22.5. After about 40 days I wish I had been able to order the size 22.0, but it was unavailable.
I am an aggressive all-mtn freeride skier, and these boots are leagues better than my Salomons. These boots are very easy to put on and pull off. Boot height is solid, since I am indeed using fatter powder skis, so the improved shell design helps turn fatter planks.

I've had trouble keeping warm in these boots, but I do have poor circulation, and it might just be time to invest in better ski socks.

So far about 40 days in, and these are the best boots I have owned. Performance is solid.

Rating for this product: 5 February 28, 2012

Love these beauties, (or should I say "booties").
They look amazing and keep my feet warm before and after skiing. I found that after 2 years these boots have packed out a bit, so I would definitely not order a larger size. I recommend ordering your normal shoe size, or going half a size down, since they do pack out so much. Other than that, they have handled the use and abuse of the past 2 winters like champions. I always receive compliments on these boots, and feel that they really enliven my winter wardrobe!

Rating for this product: 5 February 28, 2012

Tried this out on a friend's sleeping setup, and knew I HAD to have one. Paired with my Big Agnes air mattress, it feels more comfortable than my bed!! So amazing. The pad itself is about an inch thick, and provides the extra padding you need to disguise the fact you are sleeping on an air mattress. The most comfortable camping sleep I've ever had. Obviously not for backpacking, but if you desire luxe car camping...this is your ticket to sweet sweet dreams.

This is a great beanie! It does have a bit baggier fit, if that is what you are into, I found it a bit slouchy for my taste, but then again, I have a tiny kid-sized head. The fabric is soft, it's comfy to wear and the pom is just the right size. I do believe if I had an average size head, this beanie would be picture perfect.

Armada VJJ Ski - Women's

February 25, 2012

Oh wow!
Hey Jucigoodnes! I switched from 2009 Line Pandoras to these VjJJs (we must exist in a parallel universe, since we are almost the same size too). I had 162cm Pandoras and upgraded to the 175cm VJJs. The difference is INCREDIBLE. Pandoras now feel like clumsy 2x4s in comparison to the performance of the VJJ. This ski is nimble and carves so much better than the Pandora ever could. I always used my Pandora as a strictly powder ski, but not so with the VJJ, which has a much more versatile feel to it. I now use the VJJ as my all-mtn ski on all but the iciest and cruddiest days.

So, vJJ over Pandora.....CLOSE THE BOX BABY! You need the VJJ!

I have a tiny sized lady head (have to buy XS size ski helmets or Youth Large). So I thought it would be genius to start ordering kid's size beanies to avoid the dreaded beanie brim in the eyes.

I have to buy kid's size hats since I have a rather small Noggin. (Fit into XS adult sized ski helmets), but opt for kid's beanies, so they don't cover my eyes. This fits great. Love the colors, super soft and wear it on the regular. Not super warm, wouldn't recommend for skiing, but a great après ski choice!

Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Active Shell Jacket - Women's

Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Active Shell Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 February 24, 2012

Love this jacket. Was a bit worried about the diagonal zipper, and I can say that it did take some getting used to, but now I find it pretty handy. No cold zipper face! (Though it is really hard to find the zipper toggle with mittens on, guess I need more practice). Hood is solid, fits over a helmet. Wish this jacket had more pockets, but the Core vents are nice. The weight of this jacket is unbelievable! SOOO lightweight!

So far construction is good, have about 15 ski days on it. Color is great, never lost in the crowd! I am 5'3" and 120lbs and opted for the XS. Should have probably gone with a size Small, but they were out of stock, and not going to be getting anymore in this year. Backcountry is the only US dealer for the Norrona brand. So I went for it! No regrets, but I can't wear it on colder days since it's too tight to fit my down jacket underneath.

Pros
* bombproof construction
* Gore-Tex waterproof and breathable
* awesome color
* durable construction
* ultra lightweight

CONS
* needs more exterior pockets

Armada VJJ Ski - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 February 23, 2012

Advanced female skier here, tried all kinds of skis, searched for years, FINALLY FOUND THEM! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD LOVE A SKI SO HARD.
I am 5'3" and 120 lbs, the 175 size is perfect. They SLAY the powder, they can carve surprisingly well. I mistakenly took them on a trip to Silverton, Colorado when they hadn't recieved snow for 6 weeks, thought I was going to suffer, but they absolutely destroyed the ice/crud/chunder/crap that we were skiing. This is my fav one-quiver ski for Snowbird.

The rockered tip and tail make skiing powder a dream come true, hucking is a cinch as the wide platform and rocker makes landing a breeze. The edges hold well on harder and groomed snow. They bust crud better than I could have wished for. (And it may sound girly, but the graphics positively GLOW on the snow, I know that's corny, but they make me GIDDY.)

Not to mention all the GREAT V-JJ related jokes. It's too easy. Girls will love em, Guys will want em.

Rating for this product: 4 February 5, 2012

These do the job for me. They are quite warm and love the neutral color. My only beef is that Icebreaker seems to run a little bit big. I am normally a size Small in most brands (5'3" and 120lbs) and these are too long for me. I would have been much happier with the XS size. The size Small bunches up and looks funny, so I only use them for skiing and hiking. Other than that size factor, these are awesome. Not itchy, warm, and anti-stink!

I'm really not much in tune with the whole vegan thing, so I didn't really expect to like these when I tried one. I was pleasantly shocked! YUM! I liked them so much I bought a whole box! They are awesome for backcountry skiing, taste great, portable and basically a whole meal's worth of nutrients. Always keeps me skiing all day when I don't have time to pack a 'real' lunch.

Rating for this product: 3 December 26, 2011

This is the warmest fleece I have ever worn. PERIOD.
I often find that it is actually too warm for all but 32 or below days.
The quality of this jacket is amazing and I am pretty thrilled save this one issue which is somewhat of a deal breaker for me. The inner lining underneath the zipper is CONSTANTLY getting caught in the zipper when I try to zip or unzip this jacket. I think they may have made the zipper lining too long, as it is always getting stuck and I find myself embroiled in an epic battle to extract myself from the jacket. I thought about cutting the lining down, so it isn't always falling victim to the zipper, but I think I will contact Norrona before I do that.

Big Agnes Roxy Ann Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 26, 2011

I will never buy another brand again, BIG AGNES nailed this one!!
I have taken this bag winter camping in the desert, slept in a snow cave and used it for general summer camping. The quality is excellent, one year later and it still looks like new after much use! I would say it is definitely a warm bag, since I've used it in such cold temps (but I do tend to output a TON o heat when sleeping)
The sleeping-pad sleeve is INGENIOUS!! I always hated the constant all nighter slip-n-sliding with traditional bags! But the pad for this sleeping bag tucks snugly in the pocket and I've never slept so well camping in my entire life! The bag is roomy and comfortable. Throw Big Agnes' "sleeping Giant" memory foam pad on top of your air mattress and get ready for the BEST SLEEP of your life! I love it more than my own bed!!

I purchased these bad boys for a Halloween costume (Rainbow Brite), and they are OUTTA this world! I wear a size 6 or 6.5 woman's shoe and the size 35.0/38.0 fit like a glove. They are a bit on the tight side the first time you wear them, but they pack out to a comfortable size after just a few uses.
These are just basically pretty ridiculous, and you certainly get some reactions when people see you wear them. I'm impressed with the quality of the fabric, and so far so good! I wear them apre' ski and never fail to attract some real 'winners' !
