I really like this pack when I'm out shooting. Because it's a chest pack, it makes accessing your camera quick and easy. It rides nice and securely once you have it strapped down correctly. It's really nice to be able to carry my Nikon D-80 along with an additional lens, filters and extra batteries constantly at the ready. Sometimes I do find myself wishing to go a little lighter with a smaller pack when I just wanted to carry a camera only, but that just gives me another excuse to buy another pack for the collection.

I just used this bag on an overnight yurt trip in N. Utah and it worked perfectly. The trip in was a true test as I had Red Iguana Mole for 6 on top of all my other gear. The bag handled the load perfectly and I quickly fell in love with the ball joint hip belt setup. No matter how much I leaned or dipped, the pack was continuously centered and balanced. At the yurt, the pack reduced down great for doing laps and did not feel too bulky at all with a much-lighter "essentials-only" load. The only complaints I might have with this pack is the lack of shovel/probe sleeves and the hip belt and chest strap could have been done using slightly wider materials.

Only had 1 day on these, but wow, what a day. These skis are fun everywhere - from 6" of pow in N-facing trees to greasy, sun-baked groomers on south facing. I can honestly say, these are the best pair of skis I've ever ridden.

This baby sure does beat the cheap white plastic spoons you get at the cafeteria.

This spoons scoops like you wouldn't believe.

I've had these for almost a year and a half now and I love them. The sounds is great -- it's loud enough to drown out the engine noise while sitting in the back of an airliner, and it's crystal clear. I really like the weight of these headphones too -- they reall are light and comfortable. Most importantly, these headphones are durable -- not one loose wire yet...

Flat out, these are the best shades I've owned. This is my second pair after having lost 1 while out skiing. The 4 different lenses come in very handy in varying light conditions. I've got the Steel frames, which come with the gry/RC30/clr mir/ylw lenses. Most of the time I'm looking through the polarized grey, but once the light gets flat and overcast, I just pop in the RC30 lenses to cut the glare and reduce eye strain. On dark and stormy days, the yellow are a life-saver -- not only do they brighten a dark day, but they really help improve visibility and definition. The frames are nice and light, which is great because they don't pinch down on your sinuses. All in all, I highly recommend these sunglasses...

This goggle case gets the job done by providing a safe and secure container for your goggles. The soft fabric lining keeps your goggles safe and scratch-free. If your goggles are wet, make sure you leave them out overnight - the case really isn't all that breathable and you'll have fogging issues if you don't. Also, the case isn't exactly a hard case, so it's far from crush-proof. Still, this case works better than those cheap goggle bags that typically come with your goggles.

This thing is awesome! The amount and quality sound that this little dock puts out is incredible. It's absolutely great for around the house, camping, boating, and tail-gating.

This comfy shirt is great on the trail and off. The Sports Science fabric is soft and comfy and wicks perspiration well. And yeah, now I can finally say with pride, that I too am a beater.

I just tested these booties on a yurt trip in the Tetons and I absolutely loved them. The extra weight was quite negligible and they packed easily along side my sleeping bag inside my pack's sleeping bag compartment. The Nuptse Boots are very warm - even when standing in the snow. The lugged sole provides great traction and support -- all of my friends were jealous since their nearly new booties all have holes already. In regards to sizing, the Men's 11 fit my Men's 11.5 EEE foot perfectly -- so yes, they do run a little large. Still, I highly suggest these booties over all others. They are the best thing to put your feet into after a long day of ski touring.

I recently used this pack while ski touring in the Tetons and it worked well. There was plenty of space for everything I needed (sleeping bag, shovel, probe, camera, puffy jacket, food, cooking supplies, camera, extra lens, skins, helmet, goggles and a few other odds and ends). I really liked the side and top access features. I must admit though, this wasn't the most comfortable pack I've worn and it took quite a bit of adjusting to find an ok fit. If you're going to spend the money, you might as well buy a pack that has aluminum stays and more personalized adjustments. Aside from that though, this pack served me quite well.

Got this beanie as a gift and I love it. It's very breathable, warm and light. The vents can get annoying if you don't wear this hat just the right way.

These are the best sandals I've ever owned. They provide the best ankle support I've ever experienced in a sandal. They make excellent boating sandals as they will not fall off if you wind up going for a swim (I know from experience) and the extra ankle support is great for when you need to get out of the boat to hike or scout. I highly recommend these.

Pretty cool jacket. Nice and warm. A great piece to wear as an insulative layer or around town.

This boat is really fast in the water. It tracks quite nicely, although as someone else has mentioned, it does weathercock in the wind. The rudder really helps to compensate and can help to keep the boat straight. This certainly isn't the most stable kayak I've ever been in, however, it is very fast and it handles chop and waves quite well. If you have a little kayaking experience under your belt, this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

This hammock is now part of my standard camping kit. I love how this hammock's lightweight, packable design. It packs down to about the size of a large fuel cannister and adds hardly any weight to my pack. Once you've found 2 appropriately spaced trees, it's a snap to setup. The material feels very durable and I have a feeling that this hammock will continue to be a mainstay for years to come. I highly recommend this item.

When I first bought these pants, I was a bit skeptical. My fears were relieved as soon as I pull them out of the packaging. These pants provide a great fit where they're loose, but not too loose. These pants move great. Also, the fabric is super comfortable and I love the texture. The construction of these pants feels solid and I will soon be buying a 2nd pair of these to add to my gear closet.

I ran this boat solo this past weekend on the Snake River's Alpine section at about 5500 cfs. It was a snap to remove the 2nd seat and center-mount the remaining one to a middle location in the kayak. Despite being a kayak built for 2, this boat still performed beautifully in the big wave trains and swirly waters. I was very impressed with how maneuverable it was. I'd definitely recommend this boat to any whitewater paddler(s) looking for some easy fun on the river.

I really like this shirt. I use this shirt on the trails and haven't had any problems. It's lightweight, provides great wicking and it looks good.

I totally dig these shades. The optical clarity is awesome! Not only do they look good, they feel good too. The lenses snap into the frames easily and are held securely. The hard case provides great protection and stores all of your replacement lenses.

This is a great kit to have on-hand for your adventures. Though I've only used it for blister care, I'm happy with it. I feel confident enough that this kit will take care of your wounds well enough until professional help arrives.

These skis rock the pow like you wouldn't believe. I bought these skis for touring and pow days at Alta. Even on those light, dust on crust days, these provide excellent float, giving you that sweet weightless flying-like experience. Mine are mounted to the Naxo 21 AT Bindings. While the combo puts a lot of weight underneath your feet on the skin track, the downhill performance can't be matched. The only drawback to this setup is that on icy, east-coast conditions, I've gotten quite a bit of chatter. Still, I wouldn't trade these skis in for anything.
