Awesome Harness!
05-10-06 ![]() |
This harness works great. It’s super comfortable and lightweight. Plenty of room to hang my equipment from. I mainly top rope and sport climb and I've never had a problem with the harness being uncomfortable or being in my way. I'd suggest this harness to anybody looking for something basic and comfortable. |

Bomber pack!
08-14-06 ![]() |
This pack is pretty sweet! Lightweight, waterproof, comfortable, and super durable. I am really impressed with the construction of the pack. It’s not over loaded with straps or pockets that you don’t need. It holds all the gear I need for a trip, and it’s easy to get in and out of with the great roll top opening. This is just an all around bomber pack! No complaints from me. |

Base layer heaven
05-04-07 ![]() |
I love this shirt for the simple fact that its so versatile. I can wear this as a stand alone piece when I'm out trail running, or I can wear it as my base layer when I'm out on a early morning hike. Really well fitted. Its a little on the thin side of things, so you probably wont want to wear it as a fashion piece. (kinda see through). |

Black Diamond Skylight
08-22-06 ![]() |
This is a really great tent. Super durable materials and great functionality make this tent one of my favorites. It's pretty interesting to have the poles on the inside of the tent. I was surprised at how easy it was to set it up even from the inside. One feature that is really nice is the reflective materials where the poles are to be inserted - Makes setting it up in the dark a breeze. It’s also very good in the wind and rain. I had no problems with either. |

green river....

This tent will impress you with its size, that’s for sure. You can easily fit 6 people in this thing, and it will work great for family camping. A few thing you do need to be aware of are: It is impossible to set up by yourself. The stitching is really weak and can tear easily. (especially the front flaps for the vestibule poles). This tent is weak in the wind and just bends right over. Not a bad tent, but could have used a few improvements in its design. |

Can you say sweet!?
05-10-06 ![]() |
This is the lightest, most packable jacket I've ever owned. I love it. This jacket performs tremendously well, it is lightweight, packs up really small, and looks really cool too. It’s great for running at night because of the reflective stripes. The PrecipPlus material is great. |

Fuzzy Burliness
10-17-07 ![]() |
Never in my life have I owned a better fleece! This is by far my favorite jacket to throw on when its cold outside. Its got great style and looks. The fuzziness of the jacket attracts a lot of questions regarding its warmth and comfort...It keeps me nice and toasty without being the least bit irritating, and its like a magnet for girls to cuddle up with you. |

Excellent Fit - Spherically Challenged
07-25-07 ![]() |
These glasses are an excellent fit for anyone with a smaller face. They're very comfortable and super steezy. The only thing I don't like about these is that they seem to be spherically challenged when it comes to depth perception. I always feel like I'm taller than usual in them, and find myself getting dizzy when focusing on something directly under my feet....I don't know if its because of the shape of the lens or if its because they're polarized... |

| Five Ten Moccasym Climbing Shoe Read other reviews of this product |
Best climbing shoe of all time
07-05-07 ![]() |
I've been through several different pairs of climbing shoes, and these have been my favorite by far. I've used them on sport routes, crack climbs, and bouldering and loved them for each type of climb. Aggressive enough to tackle whatever you throw at em, but comfortable enough to climb without pain. |

Flux ring? oh yeah, its boiling
07-05-07 ![]() |
I love my jet boil. It boils water soo fast! It's nice and convenient to be able to have what you need all in the same self contained unit. This is great for backpacking and cooking your own food. I'm yet to be beaten in a water boiling competition between different manufacturers stoves. |

| The North Face Arnuva 50 BoaTrail Running Shoe - Men's This product is no longer available |
Squeky
07-05-07 ![]() |
These shoes were a bit short...didn't fit like all my other size 9.5's. After a while these shoes start to squek....not sure if its the boa lacing system, or if its something in the sole, which by the way is too soft for trail running. |

My new favorite shirt
07-05-07 ![]() |
This is my new favorite shirt! Stylish enough to wear out on the town, but cool enough to run in. This shirt is cut perfectly and looks great. Nice to wear out in the sun with its UPF protection. |

Comfy but warm

These shorts are really comfortable because of the liner - but that liner makes them a little warm in the heat of the day. |

| The North Face Arnuva 50 Trail Running Shoe - Men's Read other reviews of this product |
Better for road....not trail
07-05-07 ![]() |
These shoes fit true to size and are a comfortable way to go - if you're running on the road. If you're doing any serious trail running your feet will hate you. The sole on this shoe is really soft which makes it horrible on any type of rock/pebbles. |

Bomber!
05-04-07 ![]() |
These are by far my favorite pair of pants. I wear them when I'm working, when I'm out on the town, when I'm at work, when I'm climbing...you get the point. They are super comfy. The gusseted crotch allows you to do just about anything and stay comfortable the whole time. Very durable and reliable. I like these better than Carhartts. |

Nice and Compact
05-04-07 ![]() |
I love that you can fit the JetPower Fuel into the JetBoil! When you're packing light, and there's not much room this is very convenient. I'm very pleased with the efficiency of the fuel as well. Great 4 Season mix especially at altitude. |

Warm and Comfy

This pad is pretty sweet. It was nice and thick and provides great insulation on cold nights. It basically self inflates, you only need to give a few breaths of air to inflate it fully. |
