Excellent Year Round Sandal
KEEN Newport Sandal - Toddler
August 2, 2008
I bought this pair for my 2-year old daughter. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking...and I'm not crazy. My son has had two pairs over the last three years. I have one. My other daughter has a pair. They are the most comfortable/versatile sandal/shoe on the market. Great in the summer for hiking around. I even wear mine frequently in the winter, as they cover up the foot enough to keep it from freezing if you are just going in and out of the car/store/house etc. You just can't beat the versatility of this shoe.

Does anyone have any issues with the spork closing on it's own...
Brunton My-TI Folding Spork
July 8, 2008
Does anyone have any issues with the spork closing on it's own while in use? Other brands have had complaints about the spork folding under the weight of food. I want to get these so they fit in my cooking set, but am not sure about the folding idea.
Good lamp for around camp
Petzl TacTikka Plus Headlamp
July 8, 2008
I don't think this would be a great lamp to hike with, but for around camp it would be fine. I use it primarily for photography and geocaching. The red cover is great for both, as I generally only have the light on when I need to search through my bag. If you're looking to go night hiking in it, I would recommend a different lamp.

Worth Every Penny
Garmin 60 CSX GPS Unit
July 8, 2008
Sure this unit is a little pricey, but you can't beat it for accuracy. The stronger antenna helps keep accurate information even in deep canyons and under a lot of tree cover. The multiple buttons make it easy to navigate to different areas of the unit. I couldn't be happier.

Best Pair of Shorts I Own
prAna Stretch Zion Short - Men's
July 4, 2008
I was initially a bit hesitant due to the price, but this is by far the most comfortable pair of shorts I own. The slight stretch in the material is perfect, and they are very lightweight and breathable. I just wish they made more colors now so I could get some more.

Answer to: "prAna Stretch Zion Shorts - Men's Does the waist on these shorts..."
prAna Stretch Zion Short - Men's
June 9, 2008
Very true to size. I wear a 36, and the XL fits me perfectly-not just in the waist, but also the room in the thighs.
I agree, I wear a 36 also, and they fit perfect. A few of TNF products I own seem a little small, but not these

Best All-Around
Nixon Scout Watch - Men's
March 14, 2008
I have been through several watches over the years. If you're looking for a nice looking, simple, outdoor watch, then this is it. There aren't any extra dials on the front which, in my opinion, just clutter up the face. It is very durable, and very, very comfortable. I started wearing it a month ago, and have not taken it off. It is great!

Excellent Sun Hat
Outdoor Research Oasis Sombrero Hat - Women's
February 22, 2008
I bought this for my wife. She has been through several sun hats over the years, mostly straw-type hats. They always fall apart. This hat is awesome. She took it to Mexico last week, and used it daily. The chin strap is perfect for those windy days, and the brim is wide enough to keep the whole face out of the sun. Definitely recommended.

Best All Around
Outdoor Research Seattle Sombrero
February 22, 2008
This hat is perfect for any situation. The GORE-TEX lining does a great job of keeping my head completely dry, in snow and rain. It is a bit warm, but what hat isn't. And it looks great compared to many other hats on the market. The removable chin strap is great for keeping it on in windy weather.

EXCELLENT WATCH
Nixon Scout Watch - Men's
February 22, 2008
This has got to be the best watch I have ever owned. The nylon webbing band is extremely comfortable. I put this watch on for the first time a week ago, and haven't wanted to take it off since. It is a very simple watch, lacking all of the extra gizmo's on the face that, in my opinion, just clutter up the look. The service from this site was also great with this. Had to chat with a gear specialist online to find the right product, and they directed me to just the right watch.

This is a great jacket for my son. The fleece is perfect for cooler weather. The shell has been great for those wet days. And together, they are just right for the cold winter days.

Excellent Pack for Multiple Uses
CamelBak Asymetrix 30 Hydration Pack - 3L
October 6, 2007
I love this pack. It has plenty of room inside. The two side zip pockets are great for storing smaller items. The four compression straps do a great job of keeping the items inside from shifting around. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a pack in this category.
