Perfect for a puller

Ruffwear Web Master Dog Harness

Rating for this product: 4 3 days ago

My dog loves to pull and I got this harness to take the stress off his neck and it did the trick. Now when he pulls, it is coming from a central spot on his back and not hurting him at all. This harness fits great, if your dog fits in between sizes I would recommend going a size up because the straps are adjustable and you can always tighten them a bit. Their fleece lining doesn't irritate him and he hasn't tried to squirm his way out of it yet either. Great for everyday walks as well as hikes.

Perfect size, awesome nozzle

Laken Kukuxumusu Water Bottle - 0.45L

Rating for this product: 5 3 days ago

This bottle is the perfect size for my purse. It chills quick when you put it in the fridge, I haven't noticed it denting easily, the design on it always gets attention, and the nozzle works great.

Answer to: "I have a very furry Keeshond that likes to pull and I'm afraid..."

Ruffwear Web Master Dog Harness

June 27, 2008

I got this harness for the very same reason and it has made walks sooo much easier. It's also comfortable because the straps are fleece-lined so they won't irritate your dog. Mine seems to like it and doesn't fuss when I put it on him.

BEST HOODY EVER!

Arc'teryx Covert Hoody Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 5, 2008

I actually got a Men's S because I loved the fireweed color and it fits great (I'm 5'4). I have had this for months, it's been washed a lot and I haven't seen any pilling. It's my go-to comfort hoody and worth every penny. I will say that my dog's hair does find it's way into it. The Hood is nice and roomy too, you feel well covered.

hard to clean

Nalgene Lexan Narrow Mouth Water Bottle - 16oz

Rating for this product: 3 May 5, 2008

I liked the narrow mouth because it's easier to drink out of, but hard to keep clean and when I saw it had the dreaded #7 plastic rating I tossed it and got a Sigg instead.

Kind of a let down

KEEN Presidio Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 May 5, 2008

I loved the look of these shoes and waited quite a while before my size came in. I love the roomy toebox but I also feel like I am wearing a recycled tire. They are bare bones, no real cushioning to speak of and maybe that is the point. If it is, I missed it.

5 years and still going

Chaco Z/1 Unaweep Sandal - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 May 5, 2008

Got these in 2003 and aside from one small snag on the back heel loop, you would never guess it. I brought them backpacking with me and although they add a little weight, they were awesome to have once in camp to lounge around and walk through rivers in.

hood is too small

Marmot PreCip Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 May 2, 2008

I love everything about this jacket except the hood. It doesn't cover well enough and falls back off my head too often. I prefer an Arc'Teryx where I feel really covered.

not quite long enough

prAna 70's Cord Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 May 2, 2008

I love these pants, they move really well and are very comfortable. However, I went a size up from a 4 to 6 because even though the 4 fit perfect, they were too short and hit too high on my ankle for my taste. So now I have the 6 and they are long enough, if a little bigger at the waist, but I just low ride them and they work just fine.

sweet goat gloves

Backcountry.com Goat Liner Glove - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 May 1, 2008

These are great for the money. Obviously not meant to be windproof or too heavy duty but they do a good job as long as it isn't too cold. Love the grips too, they were great when driving on those cold mornings. They wash well too.

The North Face Banta Stitch Beanie

This beanie fit more like a cone than a nice tight fit like the picture may suggest. It's warm and looks great, just wish it fit better.

I'm a believer

Sigg Lifestyle 1.0L Bottle - Screw Top

Rating for this product: 4 May 1, 2008

With all the recent BPA controversy, I tossed my Nalgenes and tried one of these. I am really impressed. The perk is filling it up and putting it in the fridge, it cools down really fast and keeps liquids cooler longer. The same is true if left in the sun too though. Lightweight, no metallic taste whatsoever, and the 1L size is great for a day trip or running errands. No dents yet either.

Perfect fit

Patagonia Slabstick Capri - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 1, 2008

I was worried about the knee patches hitting too far below my knees (I'm 5'4) but they align perfectly. These pants are super comfy and great in hot weather. They get a lot of compliments.

Cut into tops of my feet

Reef Butter Sandal - Women's

Rating for this product: 2 May 1, 2008

I had the right size so maybe it is just the leather straps, but they cut into the tops of my feet after less than a day of casual walking. That being said, they did look really nice so I was bummed that they didn't work out.

Favorite all around shoe!!!

Salomon XA Pro 3D XCR Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 1, 2008

These are my favorite all-around shoes. I slip them on when my dog wakes me at 3 am to go potty, they have been awesome for running, hiking, even at the gym. Perfect fit, they even do okay if they get a little wet. And they dry easy when it's more than a little! And they do look awesome (I have the red ones).

Bombdiggity Best travel bag

The North Face Base Camp Duffel Bag - 2560-9070cu in

Rating for this product: 5 May 1, 2008

I got the L and had room leftover for a week long trip that required a bunch of excess stuff. The shoulder straps are awesome, even if your bag is heavy you can handle it. If you use it like a backpack I would just be sure to pack heavy stuff accordingly. Super durable too.

Don't go down a size

Ruffwear Web Master Harness

Rating for this product: 4 May 1, 2008

According to Ruffwear's website, they say if a dog is in between sizes, to go the one smaller. I tried this and while the S fit my 70 lb. Boxer/Ridgeback, it was more like a corset and was just too tight around his ribcage. So I returned it and got a M and it is a perfect fit now. The fleece lining on the two straps seems to be a hit with him too, usually he tries wriggling out of harnesses but this one allows for great mobility so he was totally fine with wearing it.

Perfect fleece!

Marmot Radiant Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 April 16, 2008

This fleece is my new favorite! It has awesome thumb loops and fits great - athletic but not too tapered. The sleeve length is perfect, it's totally warm even in windy conditions. I throw it on more than any of my other jackets, works great if you need a layer under an outer shell too. It's comfy, soft, and gets a lot of compliments.

Amazing sound!

Skullcandy Lowrider Headphones

Rating for this product: 5 November 28, 2007

These are the best headphones I have ever owned. The sound is crisp - I only have to listen to my iPod at half volume with these when with others I had to have it cranked at full blast and the sound still sucked. And the headphones themselves don't hurt my head, even after wearing them for hours at a time. The red looks great too.

Coal The Nichols Armwarmer - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 November 28, 2007

I am ALWAYS cold so when I found these I was in plushy heaven!! They are so soft and thick and I love the thumb loops. I have worn them over long sleeves and under jackets and believe me, it makes a difference. Awesome for riding and then bumming around afterwards. I got the charcoal color which goes with everything for me.

Oakley Crosshair S Sunglasses - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 November 27, 2007

These glasses fit my face great, I have a rounder face but it is small so most shades are way too big looking on me. These frame my face better than any I have ever owned. They stay on perfectly too. MIne are gold but do pretty well in bright sunlight and I haven't noticed a heavy feeling. Everything seems so crystal clear, unbelievable clarity.

snuggly

Backcountry.com Cairn Fleece Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 November 27, 2007

This is a great fleece to lounge around in but is not meant to be windproof. Mine also pilled around the pockets after a few weeks. I love the extra sleeve pocket! It fits a little big too so go one size down if you are in doubt.

Rating for this product: 5 November 27, 2007

Lovvvve this hoody, color is green, fyi

Mountain Hardwear Beaten Path Full-Zip Hoody Sweatshirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 November 15, 2007

I have been stalking this jacket for weeks and got the best deal on this stie. Anyone who likes this jacket though, please be aware that it is NOT blue like the picture, it is LAGOON which is a dusky green color. It is performance fleece that wicks out sweat and is so warm and cozy (I am always cold). I don't notice wind get through much either. The sleeves are longer for the thumb loops and has a tailored, athletic fit (I got a S). It's stretchy though so moves with you AND the hood is detachable (attaches with buttons)! The stitching and details I get a lot of compliments on. Soft and warm with roomy pockets. I'll be wearing this all winter!!!

Worth the money but know how to size them

Dansko Professional Cabrio Casual Clog - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2007

These Danskos I have had for years now and love them. My feet never feel tired even after 16 hr. days. But sizing for Danskos is different, they are meant to feel a little loose. I am a size 7 women's which is size 38 for Danskos. I went and got sized in a store first.

Rating for this product: 5 September 28, 2007

I got this hat because it is made of organic cotton and has an adjustable strap for a good fit. Wore it camping and threw it in the wash and it didn't lose its shape at all. Great hat and great price.

toasty and roomy

Big Agnes Encampment Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Climashield HL

Rating for this product: 4 September 28, 2007

I took The Big A camping in the south in September so it wasn't quite cold enough for it yet but it handled the HIGH humidity really well. The zipper doesn't extend to the foot of the bag (which I prefer). Plenty of room for your head and shoulders, especially if you toss and turn a lot. And there's this extra cushioning pad at your head but on the top inside of the bag which was nice to wrap up in. Used a silk liner and slept in that with the bag mostly unzipped and was really comfy. Packed well in my stuff sack too (I didn't bring the airpad).
