The North Face Metropolis Parka - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 February 23, 2007

This coat is so comfy and cozy, I wish it was cold enough to wear everyday! This coat is extremely warm, and works especially well keeping you warm while in hospital scrubs, on walks, or just hanging out. It looks good enough to wear it out to dinner. I really like the detachable hood.

Crocs Cayman Clog - Women's

Crocs Cayman Clog - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 February 23, 2007

I bought these shoes because my Dankos were giving me shin splints at work. These wide clogs are nicely padded. I like how easy they are to clean if soiled. I alternate wearing my Danskos with these clogs, and I no longer suffer from sore feet or shin splints.

DAKINE Remix Beanie - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 January 2, 2007

The remix beanie is warm and stylish. It works for hiking back from the hot springs or for a night out on the town. The material is soft, and nonitchy, so it can be worn for hours comfortably.

The North Face TKA 100 Fleece Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 2, 2007

I loved my black pair so much that I got a second pair in brown. The TKA pant is warm and extremely comfortable. It withstands multiple washes without pilling. The back pocket is great for a key, chapstick, and cell phone for the short hikes.

Rating for this product: 5 January 2, 2007

These are my favorite of all my wool socks. They are super soft, stretchy, and warm. They withstand multiple washes, without shrinking or pilling. They stay put while hiking, and work great with Danskos at work.

This shirt is great as an under layer or by itself for mountain biking or any other outdoor activity. It is highly breathable and super soft. The shirt did not shrink after being washed which was nice.

Horny Toad Lonnie Short - Women's

Horny Toad Lonnie Short - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 2, 2007

These shorts are one of the most comfortable pairs I own. They ride low on the waist, so they don't ride back up on you while hiking. The linen combination makes the shorts a little more classy and soft. I did find them to run slightly large.

Crazy Creek Original Chair

Crazy Creek Original Chair

Rating for this product: 5 January 2, 2007

These chairs are great for when you don't have a lot of room in your car, but you want to bring a chair camping. The adjustable straps allows you to sit up straight or recline, or even lay out flat and use it as a pad. The pocket in the back holds sunscreen and other essentials easily. They work great at the beach and summer concerts on the lawn, too.

Mountain Hardwear Hyperdry Zip Tee Long-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 2, 2007

This shirt works in all weather conditions. It is a great lightweight breathable layer for protecting yourself from the hot desert sun. It also works great alone for hiking or as a layering piece under ski clothes. The neck can be zipped up entirely without choking you. And the material is silky soft.

Black Diamond Stratos Glove - Women's

Black Diamond Stratos Glove - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 2, 2007

I am always cold skiing, but the Stratos Gloves keep my hands toasty warm. On warmer days, I appreciate being able to take the liner out of the shell and wear the inside liner solely. I like how easy the gloves are to take off and on, without snow getting in thanks to the stretchy band around the wrist. For being a big glove, I still have amazing dexterity with them.

MSR Denali Ascent Snowshoe

MSR Denali Ascent Snowshoe

Rating for this product: 5 January 2, 2007

I loved my husband's denali ascent snowshoes so much that I had to get a pair of them for myself. The straps are very easy to use, even with big gloves on. The crampons on the underside allow for climbing some seriously steep terrain. They have a compact fit that works well on the outside of a ski backpack. I like having the option of using the tails or not. But I would recommend buying the tails if you are to shoe in deep snow.

The Clipfix style worked for me. I found the cutting tool easy to use. So far I have had no problem with my skins coming off. The clips stay put and the bottom has stayed nice and sticky.

The North Face Denali Glove - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 January 2, 2007

These North Face gloves are great for driving and aerobic activities in the winter. I found the seams to be a bit scratchy and bulky, but you get used to it after a while. I waterproofed these gloves and they work great for throwing snowballs and getting into snow.

Burton Material Girl Sweater - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 2, 2007

This is a fun and different sweater to wear out. It looks great with a cute tank underneath it. Even though it is wool, it is soft enough to wear without a long sleeve shirt under it. You can choose to unzip the sweater for more show, or zip it up to stay warm.

The North Face Lupine Hooded Sweatshirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 2, 2007

This hoodie is a nice twist to the typical hoodie. It fits a bit slim, but I like it that way. It goes great with jeans or bumming around with fleece pants. The neck is not too tight. I wouldn't put it in the dryer, or it could become a belly shirt.

The Venice H2 Sandal protects my clumsy toes from the rocks while in the water, but the fuller coverage makes for a warmer shoe. The wide footbed is very comfortable, and the straps are easy to adjust. No blisters yet.

The North Face TKA 100 Fleece Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 16, 2006

The TKA 100 Pant is the best pair of fleece pants I have ever owned. The adjustable waistband allows for a perfect fit, while the wide leg allows for room over boots. I wear these pants around the house and when I hike. They are breathable, yet weather resistant. The zip pocket is handy for a key when you don't want to carry a purse on your walk. The pants also stand up to multiple washes.

The Mojave XCR Day Hiking Shoe was stiff at first, but quickly molded to my feet for a comfortable fit. My feet have stayed dry in nasty wet and/or snowy weather. The traction is great, and the shoes are breathable, making them a great all season shoe.

K2 Dawn Patrol Telemark Ski - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 April 13, 2006

These skis are a ton of fun in deep powder. They cut like a hot knife in butter. I put all-terrain bindings on my Dawn Patrols, making them a great backcountry setup. These skis are lightweight which is good in powder, but they do move around a bit on groomers. But overall, they are my favorite skis.
