These pants aren’t nearly as exciting as new skis or a cool back pack, but they're a vast improvement over my old plastic pants. They are light weight, comfortable, and very packable. I wish the pockets were a little deeper and the zippers on the legs were a little longer. Longer leg zippers would ease getting them on and off while paddling a canoe. Potential buyers should also be aware that these pants are not insulated. Again, there’s nothing very exciting about rain gear, but Marmot PreCip is quality stuff for a decent price.

I purchased this pack to replace a 12-year-old Jansport daypack that had seen better days. It’s used for wilderness XC skiing and so far I’m quite happy with it. It currently contains an extra base layer and shell layer (tops and bottom) in small compression sacks, a first aid kit, multi-tool, extra socks gloves and hat, a couple energy bars, two freeze dried entrees, an esbit stove, a camp cup and spoon, fire starting stuff, an emergency blanket, a small flashlight, a cell phone, a small radio, and maps. It holds all this gear with room to spare and goes totally unnoticed when on the move – no digging or binding and I’m VERY happy about that. The suspension system is substantial, well-padded, and fairly adjustable. My GPS clips easily to the outside as there are an adequate number of D-rings and fastening points. I haven’t had any problems with the zippers. My only complaint is that you can’t stand the pack on end when it’s loaded. This is a great pack for a great price.

I've had these boots for a couple weeks and have put over 50 miles on them. They broke in easily, they provide great ankle support, and they are very warm. I was out for 3 hours yesterday in -20 and my feet were toasty. They go great with my Rossignol BC-90s. I really couldn't pick out anything to complain about. Buy these boots - you won't regret it!
