Cool shoes- slip on easily but stay on easily as well. My main pair of out and about town shoes. Just started wearing them, but they handle the rain, puddles, dirt, and debris without a problem. Wish they had more colors to choose from.

Gloves are working great, but I could have probably bought a small for my wife instead of the medium. The gloves either run a tad large or my wife's hands have shrunk.

1L is good all-around size vs .5L bottles. Bottom is large (not mine, but the bottle's) which can be a problem with your car's cup holders. If you're not familiar, bite valve is great.

Relatively cheap and effective, but bracket info is somewhat misleading. For a factory installed crossbar expect to purchase an adapter. Also, no problem mounting one sea kayak on top of an SUV, but 2 just can't squeeze in.

This pack has been great for on the go traveling. It's light, roomy, and versatile. The hip belt is comfortable, easily adjustable, and has convenient pockets, the camelbak stowage is accessible, and the stretchy front and side pockets allow easy access and venting. Things that could be improved: lots of straps hanging all over the place, more compartments to separate gear, and less cumbersome opening on top (tie strap and buckle). Overall, an awesome pack that's already earned it's money in Singapore, Malaysia, Germany, England, and Wales.

I love the jacket- just what I was looking for in terms of weight, packability, and protection. I plan to use this for snow skiing, snow shoeing, camping trips, and bike riding in the summer so I needed something quite versatile. So far, has met expectations. One note, the sleeves seem disproportionately long but haven't been a factor. Instead of wearing my gloves outside the jacket, I do the opposite.

This is my third stove I've owned. A big reason I picked it was the simmer capability. The stove lights easily and puts out plenty of heat. Unfortunately, it sounds like a jet engine. It's very loud. Also, the simmer capability goes from extremely hot to quite hot. To simmer adequately, I would alternate between off and the lowest setting. Not quite what I had in mind.
