DAKINE Wet Dry Duffle Bag - 5600cu in

May 19, 2009

Yes, the hand straps are great but the shoulder strap connects (at least in the old version and looks the same in this version) right in the top corner where the side pockets meet with the larger middle pocket, the interior wall ripped from the seam. It's just not as durable as the exterior but has to hold some of the force of the shoulder starp. It's not a major issue just, more cosmetic than anything. If you've got it loaded down and want to use the shoulder strap, keep an eye on how much it's pulling at that seem. And yeah one of those blue ice things would probably do fine.

DAKINE Wet Dry Duffle Bag - 5600cu in

May 19, 2009

Anyone know if this version is better than the last version? The shoulder strap on the old one tore the inside seams when it was fully loaded and the "cooler" tended to leak once the ice started melting.

perfect fit and functional!

Rating for this product: 5 May 19, 2009

How can you beat these? They fit perfect and conform to you feet quickly... Bottle opener works great, althought I did break one climbing on some rocks in them, luckily there is one on each foot! This best invention in footwear in a long time! More durable than some of the other Reef's I've had. Who doesn't love functionality?

Rating for this product: 5 May 19, 2009

Just the right weight to take with you everywhere... Keeps me dry and more importantly, it's small enough to keep with you a rain jacket is no good if it's left in your truck! No complaints on the the fit or construction.

Rating for this product: 4 May 19, 2009

Great fit, comfortable, easy to adjust. Only draw back is the plastic "protector" makes clipping in a little tight if your not using the belay loop. Haven't hand any problems with construction.

Got these in white for my Girlfriend. She loves them though they don't have as much ankle support as she would have liked. Very warm and cozy. White is hard to keep clean.

Great for Rivers

Salomon Karma Sandal - Men's

Salomon Karma Sandal - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 16, 2009

They fit well, and are easy to adjust. I got them for river trips and they work perfect for that, draining well and just enough protection on your feet. I tried running in them and they hurt my feet running on concrete for a couple of miles but not enough to stop, more joint pain in my knees afterwards. Would be better for sporadic trail running but they definitely aren't running shoes. Great in the water.

These are great back country poles! Very durable just be careful in bounds goofing off with friends, had a friend spray me and cut the fiberglass pole right in half with his skis.Good thing replacement parts are affordable. Highly recommended.

Rating for this product: 5 February 10, 2009

Haven't had a problem with falling off if you follow the directions and tighten them up after the first 5-10 minutes of wearing they stay on.The Socks help a lot. They are a little tough to get on at first but about like putting shoes on a toddler. They seem to be holding up will great in the snow as well as the desert.
