I love this top. It fits greats and the little slit in the back adds a cute touch. I ordered a size small, usually I'm in between a medium and a small. The small fits great on the top, but it's pretty loose around the tummy. I could have ordered a XS and gotten away with it.

Rating for this product: 5 May 8, 2008

I've had my stove for over 5 years now. I do a ton of desert and mountain backpacking. The pocket rocket has never let me down. It's so light and compacted it can be easily stored in a water bottle pocket on a pack. In the winter it works well, just as long as the fuel stays warm. If it's cold enough it will sputter, but that's not the stoves' fault.

Ruffwear Palisades Pack II

Rating for this product: 5 December 28, 2007

This doesn't compare to any other pack. It's top notch!
I trained both of my Aussies load carrying with a cheap Kelty pack. After the first desert trip the pack broke and left me carrying everything.

This pack is perfect for the Utah desert. The internal water bladders are ideal for long hot sandy trudges. You'll never have to worry about your dogs finding the next water hole.

The material is very, very strong and there's enough room for 6 beers on each side. Perfect!

I bought this pack to get my dog used to carrying his own load. The pack is pretty small and in one of the compartments there are small pockets. I feel that the pack would be better if they did away with the small internal pockets. I have never used them. The pack's fabric can easily rip on desert walls. After my dog was used to the pack I upgraded to something stronger.

Rating for this product: 5 December 15, 2006

I was searching for a duffel that was huge. I was going on a long trip and pretty much needed all of my gear to fit into one bag.
I decided to go with the XL. It's was perfect.

Rating for this product: 5 December 15, 2006

I have an old The North Face tent. I have put that thing through more storms then most poeple have experienced outdoors.
I use Nikwax spray every 6 months. The tent has never leaked, keeping me warm and dry.

Rating for this product: 5 September 1, 2006

The Hurricane Parka is just what I was looking for. I needed a light weight jacket that would pack into a small compartment. I love how that jacket is lined. It keeps all the rain out. Prefect for backpacking and climbing.

Rating for this product: 4 August 28, 2006

The Lynx II Tandem Inflatable kayak is ideal for people that don't have the ability to haul a 17 foot plastic kayak. This kayak is so compact that I was able to take it to the river in my VW rabbit. It's very easy to inflate/deflate. I rate this kayak 8 out of 10.

Rating for this product: 5 February 4, 2006

I have the hardest time finding gloves that fit my tiny hands. Most of the time, I have to settle on gloves that have Powder Puff girls or some children's cartoon on them. These are so warm, I highly recommend them.
