It's necessary. Especially if you plan to ride your bike with the bag over your shoulder.

Sweet Jacket. Great for powder skiing.

This watch is awesome. The four settings include time, altimeter, barometer, and compass. It does have a large face, so it tends to dwarf my small wrist. Great for backcountry use and the manual is easy to understand.

I just started climbing, and this has been a great shoe to use on a wall. The price is right and have had no problems thus far. I went down about a half size, but you could probably go a full size under your normal show size if you wanted due to the stretch factor.

Bought these sandals for my trip down to Zion National and Bryce Canyon. Wow! You can do everything in these shoes. From wading through water to hiking to scrambling. Wear them with or without socks. They are very true to size as well. Easy to slip on and can be worn loosely for just kickin it or tighten 'em up with the easy-to-use lacing system. Just remember to pull the back strap tight too.

Another solid product from Cloudveil. These pants are made of a combination nylon and spandex, which give them great mobility no matter the activity. Very lightweight, making them ideal for fishing in the summer. Yet, come winter time, they should hold up to the cold weather as well.

Great pair of pants for all sorts of outdoor activities. Fit is pretty true to size. Nice lightweight fabric is good for hot days on the river or trail when pants are necessary.

Definitely a solid purchase. Can't beat the price. This jacket is perfect for watersports and fits very well so as to never be in the way. Only one buckle on the bottom and the full zip up the middle. Nice not having those annoying straps flying everywhere

Very nice length and material, but I had to go up a size because the shorts fit very tight around the waist. I like my shorts a little loose fitting, so if you are like me go up a size than what you normally wear. The pockets are very protective, both front and back, so you never have to worry about something falling out.

The Wind Tracker vest does not quite fit the same way as some of their other vests. If you've had a Patagonia vest in the past, you would know that they usually fit to size. I think that because of the material used in the wind tracker, you need almost a full size larger than usual. I wear a medium in everything, and the large was definitely the right size with this vest. Nice material, will stay somewhat water resistant and if you are one that likes the Patagonia logo, you won't find it anywhere on the front. It's on the back behind the neck.
