Great fit

Columbia Mountain Tech Top - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Columbia Mountain Tech Top - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 May 7, 2009

I really like these shirts. I bought two of them because I like the fit. They aren't clingy at all and breathe really well. No chaffing and super comfortable. Only downside would be the smell. I do have to wash them after each run which is fine, but I wish they didn't hold odor like some of my other tech tees.

Rating for this product: 4 May 7, 2009

The Precip is hard to beat. This rain jacket is awesome, and not overly priced. It never feels clammy inside, and breathes really well. Works great in super wet conditions. I'd highly recommend it!

Smith Talent Sunglasses

Rating for this product: 5 May 7, 2009

I really love these glasses. I think Smith's are the most comfortable out there. They fit just snug, but don't squeeze my head which I've found with other brands. My other favorites are the Toasters which I wear for cycling, running, etc. but these are fun and stylish with a little more coverage - and just as comfortable!

The North Face Momentum Hybrid 1/4-Zip Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 7, 2009

I seriously wear this piece just about every day. I wear it to the gym over my workout clothes, or it's awesome for running in cooler weather too. Really comfortable, I would say it runs a tad on the large side. I'm 5'4" 130 and a medium is barely too big. Really cozy though, love the thumb loops and key pocket on the sleeve.

Backcountry.com Liner Glove - Women's

Backcountry.com Liner Glove - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 May 7, 2009

I really like these gloves. I think they do run a little large though. I'm usually a medium, and wish I had gotten a small instead as the fingers are a little long. They gloves are perfect though for outdoor running in the winter. They're grippy so its easy to hold my ipod on the go. Nice fleecy cuff makes them super comfy and snug.

I have MANY a running pant, and these are for sure my favorites. They have the perfect fit; not too tight, not too loose. I'm 5'3" 130lbs and I got a small which fit great. They breathe really well and don't hold moisture or odor so you can wear them for multiple workouts without being smelly:)

I really like these pants. They are made of like a stretchy fleece and they're super comfortable. I worn them on a run the other night and they're perfect for cold weather jogs. They also run pretty true to size, but they are stretchy so there's added room for error.

This is a great piece to have for winter runs. It has a hood you can zip up over your face went it's chilly out and you need to keep your head and ears warm. I got it in the purple color and it's super comfortable - no problems with bunching or anything. I would highly recommend it.

Marmot Jackson Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 September 29, 2006

This shirt is super cute! However, the material it's made out of feels a little stiff when wearing. It's also a little bit short and it shrinks when wash and dry it. So order a size larger than you think you'd need. Other than that, I really like it!

Rating for this product: 5 September 29, 2006

I really like this bra. It dries quickly and the shoulder straps stay put when you're running so you don't have to constantly keep them from creeping up your neck - which drives me crazy. But this bra has been great. Keeps it all together.

I love these leggings. I wear them as an under layer when I snowboard, and I also wear them running in the winter. They breathe really well, but also retain heat when needed. They aren't itchy at all, and you don't have to wash them too often because they don't hold odor. They are worth the money!

You can wear this piece pretty much anywhere. I wear it as an under layer snowboarding and it keeps me super warm, but still wicks away moisture. The bodyfit weight is also great to wear running on colder days. Does a great job of helping regulate body temperature. It's not scratchy at all, and holds its shape really well, but doesn't hold odor. I'd recommend merino to anyone!

Burton Lodge Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 5, 2006

This is one of the warmest jackets ever. It has a really nice fit, but still allows for a heavier layer underneath (not that you'll need it too often). And it's not overly puffy where you wouldn't want to wear it out casually. It also has soft fleece around the top so you don't get chaffy face. It has thumb loops on the inside which is nice. It's a great jacket for cold riding.
