New Balance MT110 Trail Running Shoe - Men's

2 days ago

How should the MT110s fit compared to road shoes? I currently wear a NIKE LunarGlide size 10, but purchased Brooks PureGrit's also in a 10 and have noticed way too much 'slide' while running trails. I can run in them, but my ankles are wrecked toward the end of each outing.

La Sportiva Wildcat GTX Trail Running Shoe - Men's

November 14, 2010

Regarding sizing on the Wildcat GTX; My shoe size is a 9, but my running sneakers are a 10 (Adidas adiSTAR). Would a 43 be the correct size, or 42.5?

Thanks in advance!

Marmot Twilight 2-Person Tent w/ Footprint and Gear Loft

Marmot Twilight 2-Person Tent w/ Footprint and Gear Loft

Rating for this product: 2 November 11, 2010

The photo of the Twilight displayed is the 3P model, so I'm not sure how anyone over 5'10" can possibly be comfortable in the 2P Twilight! I'm 5'6" and felt comfortable by myself, but there is no way I'd add a second person.. I don't like brushing up against the tent wall and with 2 people there isn't a choice. At any rate, I appreciate all the positive reviews that led up to my decision.. I did like the setup of the Twilight versus my North Face Talus 23; it was a breeze. Also, there really isn't 2 poles... it's an entire 3 point bungee skeleton which actually ends up being a little bulky compared to standard bungee poles.

I'm 5'6" / 150lb and looking into the size M Nitro has my main day pack for Yosemite/JTree hikes-n-climbs.. Would this be the correct size, or is the M too large for my height?

Amazing goggles, but subpar peripheral vision

Anon Figment - Jeremy Jones Pro Model

Anon Figment - Jeremy Jones Pro Model

Rating for this product: 3 March 25, 2008

I originally received the 'Test Pattern' Figment's by mistake and thought they were nicer then the Jeremy Jones Figment model.

Anon Figment PROS:
Superior quality (foam, strap, frame, etc.), style-Style-STYLE! (hands down the steeziest goggles available), lens options/tints (Anon lens' offer amazing protection on sunny days)

Anon Figment CONS (and there is only 1):
Subpar peripheral vision. I wanted to keep them, but I ended up returning the goggles because I wasn't comfortable with the peripheral vision.

In my opinion: the best overall goggles available are from Oakley & Smith.

Arbor Mystic Snowboard

Arbor Mystic Snowboard

Rating for this product: 3 February 21, 2008

I live near Arbor Sports and there is no doubt that they produce amazing snowboards. Arbor is one the most supportive companies you'll ever come across! I picked up the '06 Mystic from this site during mid-season and it took some getting used to the overall stiffness compared to the Arbor Element I was riding. The Mystic is a specialized board focusing on the pipe. I definitely don't recommend it for rails/jibbing... it is that stiff! It's a solid ride in hard pack conditions... I also rode the Mystic on an 'epic' pow-day, and although I was wishing I had packed my Element during that weekend, the Mystic was definitely capable of dealing with powder conditions. Again, there is very little flex with the Mystic, but you can probably ollie to the moon if you're able to compress the bamboo core! I would highly recommend this board to any intermediate/advanced pipe boarder.

The Swiss-Army Deck

Arbor Element Snowboard

Arbor Element Snowboard

Rating for this product: 4 February 21, 2008

The Arbor Element was my first board, and I can say that it is truly an "All-Mountain" snowboard. There is a decent amount of flex to forgive, and if you get a chance to ride a pow-day on this board you'll be stoked. The Element is also possibly the best looking deck ever produced. The koa wood top is stunning! The '07 bottom with the Hawaiian Island chain is simply 'classic'. After selling off my Arbor Mystic, I was back on my ol' Element and I've ridden pretty much every terrain except rails with it. I would recommend this board for any single quiver owners looking for a versatile snowboard , or a dedicated pow-board.
