What is the difference between the graphite and the black? How gray is the graphite?

Comfy Shorts

prAna Mojo Shorts - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 November 16, 2007

These shorts are very comfy and dry very quickly as the Prana people claim. Awesome to climb or chill in. However the stitching has been a bit suspect, in a spot on the legs the fabric is coming apart and the bottom of one of the pockets is giving out already. Maybe it is just this pair of shorts, but I have only had them for about a month. I haven't had quality issues with Prana before so I am hoping these don't degenerate further.

Great pants

Arc'teryx Alibi Pant - Men's

Arc'teryx Alibi Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 November 16, 2007

Well constructed pants, very comfortable and fairly burly(so far). They are slim fitting for the fashion conscious and are great to climb in. The oyster color is more tan than the gray that it appears on the website. Overall a great pant, albeit expensive, just get them on sale.

I love these draws/carabiners, they are wonderful. The keylock nose makes cleaning noticeably easier and they clip well. But these are subtle things and I guess they are worth the price tag if you have the extra money kicking around. Other draws will do the same job, these just do it better.

Marmot PreCip Jacket - Men's

Marmot PreCip Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 April 3, 2007

I bought this because I knew I would need rain gear. It had gotten numerous positive reviews so I was fairly sure that it would work well. I turned out to be wrong. This jacket works okay in very light rain, but then again so does a windbreaker or a t-shirt. I took a ten minute walk in moderate rain, under trees most of the time and by the time I got to my destination the jacket was soaked through at the shoulders and the arms. In its favor it does breathe very well but I would rather have it shed water worth a crap. On a less serious note, the sizing sucks. I am a tall skinny guy and I got a small and the thing is gigantic on me. I know that rain gear is supposed to fit loosely but I can fit my backpack under the thing with room to spare. Despite being huge on me, the arms are too short so they are constantly riding up if I need to lift my arms to reach something, even with the cuffs tightened as much as possible.

So in short, save your money and buy something more expensive that will do the job better. Or buy a cheaper Red Ledge jacket that will actually do its job, albeit while not breathing at all.
