This stove lives in my SAR pack - and is awesome for a quick cup of soup/tea/coffee on the go.

Jetboil Classic Personal Cooking System

May 29, 2009

I love my Jetboil, and it has served me well up to ~12K in cold temps, so long as I've been able to warm the canister in my jacket or sleeping bag. With colder temperatures, I've had to resort to a lighter or matches, as the piezoelectric igniter on the Jetboil wasn't quite enough to ignite the condensed gas (note that condensation issues are going to happen with any fuel canister at low temps). If you're just looking to boil water or melt snow, the Jetboil may work for you. If you want anything beyond that, you may want to look at some other stoves.

Love 'em!

Oakley Disobey Sunglasses - Women's - Polarized

Oakley Disobey Sunglasses - Women's - Polarized

Rating for this product: 5 May 29, 2009

Fashionable, without being so big that they make me look like a bug. Polarized lenses are great, though I wish they were offered in other colors, as well. Super comfy to wear and prone to fogging only on cold mornings.

Technical jacket for girls with curves

Westcomb Mojave Jacket - Women's

Westcomb Mojave Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 May 27, 2009

I have boobs. I have hips. I also like to play outside. Most jackets don't really fit my shape - they leave me either feeling squished in or shapeless. Westcomb seems to be doing it right.

Cute AND comfortable

Dansko  Sissy Sandal - Women's

Dansko Sissy Sandal - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 27, 2009

I love Danskos for work. However, most of their sandals are too narrow to fit my wide foot well. The Sissy has adjustable straps across the forefoot, which is awesome. The shoe does seem to run a little short, so if you are wavering between sizes, you might want to size up.

Love them!

KEEN Waimea H2 Sandal - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 27, 2009

Admittedly, I'm a bit of a klutz. But I love flip flops - pretty much all year round - at 10,000 ft. These regularly save my big toe from getting mashed. And the straps fit my wide foot comfortably. If only Keen made them in black...

Rating for this product: 5 May 27, 2009

For running around town, walking the dogs, or just playing in the snow, these are awesome. They're also a great, warm, non-bulky alternative to a trailrunner for snowshoeing. They accomodate wide feet well.

Cute, but not for me.

Chaco Wrapsody Sandal - Women's

Chaco Wrapsody Sandal - Women's

Rating for this product: 1 May 27, 2009

Very cute sandals. However, the edges of the straps on my sandals were sharp (think edge of melted webbing sharp) and would periodically slice into my feet if not perfectly flat. If you were a half size, I'd suggest going up to the next whole size - they seem to run a bit small.

Warm jacket, tiny package

Patagonia Down Jacket - Women's

Patagonia Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 May 27, 2009

Lightweight, comfy jacket still allows for a pretty good range of motion while being active, fits above a harness or hipbelt, and gives me a shape other than round. Not too bulky and packs really well, but still has sufficient loft to keep me toasty.
