I have used this pad with my Big Agnes Zirkel 20 down bag about 30 times and love the combo. This mat is very durable, packs really small, inflates by mouth in about 2 minutes, is very light and warm. The Primaloft insulation does a great job of keeping the cold ground out an also works great for floating down rivers. I also bought the nylon totally collapsible chair that used the sleeping pad as the padding, that thing is AMAZING. This pad is great weather you have a Big Agnes bag or not and I would highly recommend getting this one or the Dual insulated aircore!!

I just got my first pair of Chaco's about two weeks ago and they fit very true to size, I am a size 10, got a 10 and they fit just right. Here are some of the Pro's and Con's from my experience
Pro's = fairly light weight
Dry super fast
great arch support and strap support
grip to river bottom like no other!
strap easily on my pack
Are comfortable in the river and around camp
Cons =
Can not substitute for hiking boots or shoes, Hiked 2.5 miles in them the second time I wore them and my feet got thrashed.
Over all they are great river sandals that can handle multi pitch ascents and descents for short distances

I have a few pairs of there socks and I love every one. I have abused them time and time again and they hold up. They keep my feet very dry and comfortable even in the hottest conditions. While running or biking they do not create any friction points and I am never rushing to rip them off at the end. Over all Darn Tough makes great socks and I also love this company because they are in Vermont and Vermont rocks!!

I am a snowboarder, so do not use poles except when hiking and using a split board for touring. I purchased these poles just for that, and they are great. They are very light weight, and i love how small they get. They seem to be fairly sturdy and the flick locks are great and do not slip. Not sure how durable they would be for a skier to use all the time, but for touring and hiking they are great.

I have owned this jacket for about 3 months now and find that I really like it for some things and will not wear it for others. It is by no means a versatile jacket. I love the material, super water proof, breathable and LIGHT WEIGHT. The fit is excellent, it is long where it needs to be, and tight where it needs to be. I am not a fan of the pockets, or lack there of. I need a jacket that has at least 4 pockets. It is very good for what it is, but with the amount of features available in jackets these days, this just is not keeping up.

I got these gloves on a super sweet pro deal from OR and was not expecting much from them. Now they are the gloves that can do it all. I really do not like big, bulky gloves and I don't like gloves that go past my wrist. I like to pull my jacket over them and be comfortable and warm, which is exactly what these do for me. They stay very dry due to the Gore-Tex and are very light weight. These gloves are also much warmer then they appear, I have found myself in 15-20 degree weather, on the mountain, and was taking them off because my hands where so warm. I am definitely one of those "never cold" people so I don't want you to think that they don't breath because they do. For under $100, in a light weight, super waterproof glove, you cannot beat the Prophet. I also think that Outdoor Research is an awesome company that makes sure their products are top quality.

This shovel is sweet!! It is super light weight, very fast to get out and extend. The blade is a little small, I would not use it to build a booter or shovel the driveway, but for safety and digging when you need to, it works great.
