Wenger Footwear Matterhorn Hiking Shoe - Women's

Wenger Footwear Matterhorn Hiking Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 September 29, 2009

I have freakishly high arches and bony ankles, so it took a short break-in period to get these shoes to truly conform to my feet. But once they were broken in, I rallied them up the Wasatch's Mt. Raymond at 10,200ft and they did just awesome. The Matterhorn Shoes are really sturdy and offer your feet a lot of support for a low-top shoe, and the shoes' interior feels smooth and cushy. When they say the outsoles are grippy, they mean it. There is a bit of scrambling on the rocks to Mt. Raymond's summit, and I felt totally secure. I've worn these on several more hikes since and I can tell they'll be my go-to hiking shoes for a long time.

SmartWool Foothills Full-Zip Sweater - Women's

SmartWool Foothills Full-Zip Sweater - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 September 29, 2009

I just opened my package and put this sweater on for the first time, and I will want to wear it every day from now on, forever and ever. Seriously. It's classy, timeless, super-soft, and the oversized snaps at the cuffs and front give it some character. It's the sort of thing you'll have forever, so it's well worth the money you'll spend on it. And of course since merino wool stays warm even when it's wet, it'll be nice to wear outside this winter.

Volkl Kiku Ski - Women's

Volkl Kiku Ski - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 February 10, 2009

I've taken these babies everywhere this season and haven't been displeased yet. I've been surprised at how fast they rip even on the crud and groomers. And in a long open pow slope, well, just sit back and enjoy the ride. I have to beg to differ with Cece's review- I've had no trouble keeping up with the boys on the Kikus, and the crud only throws me around in user-error situations.

Wearing it Every Day

The North Face Bellflower Bomber Jacket - Women's

The North Face Bellflower Bomber Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 26, 2009

I have to say, I'm in love. Singing it from the rooftops. Hiring an airplane to write it in the sky. Writing odes and songs. All to the TNF Bellflower Bomber Jacket. I'm a cold girl and I've felt fugly wearing my utilitarian puffy jacket around downtown and to work, but I always wore it because my cuter tweed and even wool coats just didn't have any insulation. This jacket's thick insulation does the trick perfectly without making you look thick- and the fabric does resist water so if you walk around on a snowy evening you'll be fine. It has a great rich texture, and the buttons are sweet. I've gotten tons of compliments on this jacket- it makes me feel like I'm a girl or something. One sizing issue- if you have a long torso, be aware that this coat has a shorter, cropped length, so it won't go all the way down to your hips. Taller folks will find that it hits more at the waist. Which is fine... it looks cute that way.

ULU Suluk Winter Boot - Women's

ULU Suluk Winter Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 22, 2008

I just received these boots in the mail a few days ago and have already received so many compliments on them. I live in a very snowy ski town and have worn them around outside with no problem. My feet stayed totally dry and insulated even in the deeper snow. They're cuter than you can tell in They don't look clunky at all; I wore them to a party with some jeans and a sweater and it looked great. The fluffy lining is all over the inside of the boot- so cozy. Overall, I can highly recommend these.

ULU Suluk Winter Boot - Women's

December 21, 2008

Yes, they are. I couldn't take them on a long, hard-core snowshoe expedition (keep your Sorels for that), but yeah-- if it's snowy outside and you have to walk around the ski village in several inches of fluff, you'll stay totally dry and warm. Decent traction on the bottom so you won't slide.

Rating for this product: 5 December 11, 2008

I just mounted these up on my Volkl Kikus and I'm thrilled with them so far. They look and feel super-solid, and I feel completely secure in them at high speeds. As a lady skier, I definitely didn't need the burlier Dukes-- I'm not exactly a 200 pound dude who hucks 60-footers for breakfast. But I love getting out in the backcountry and it seems that these will fit my needs perfectly.

Excellent boot

Lange Freeride 110 Ski Boot - Women's

Lange Freeride 110 Ski Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 9, 2008

I'm thrilled with this boot. I've only taken it out a few times so far this season, but I'll tell you, the comfort is unparalleled by any other high-performance boot I've tried. The stiffness is great for an assertive female skier. It looks lovely too. One thing I really appreciate is the roomier toe box. At first I thought I got a size too big, but after I skied on them several times, it seemed that the performance was spot-on, and yet I could still wiggle my toes up and down. I've suffered frostbite on my toes in the past when ski boots restricted their circulation too much. I really appreciate this fit. I'm carving fast turns and feeling totally in control. Can't wait to take them into more technical terrain.

Crumpler The Hoax Messenger Bag

Rating for this product: 5 November 21, 2008

This is the best messenger bag ever. I use it as a gym bag, commuting bag, overnight bag... whatever. It's bomber. I carried my stuff in it all summer on my motorcycle and it never got in the way. My roommate liked it so much she got the exact same one to take on a month-long trip as a carry-on/day bag. Super resilient, with just enough pockets and a comfortable fit.

Lolë Candid Tank - Women's

Lolë Candid Tank - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 November 18, 2008

I love this shirt and can pretty much wear it to anything. Wore it to a backyard wedding this summer and keep it in the dateworthy shirt quiver. I think it fits just great. You just have to get the right size and it'll hug your curves. However, it's true that the fabric isn't as soft as one might suppose by looking at the fabric- it kind of just feels like regular ribbed cotton. That being said, it's still a pretty rad shirt, and worth the money. Be aware that the jasmine color looks way more yellow in real life than it does in the picture. It's still a great color, just different from this.
