This Ruckus T-shirt is definitely expensive, but your paying for quality and the technology of the cooling materials. I wore this T-shirt when I was moving out of my apartment in the summertime with very high humidity. Compared to a cotton shirt I wore the previous day, it was like night and day to how cool the VaporWick shirt kept me. It's worth the money, and if you get it wet it dries quickly, even from sweat.

The fives 3.0 looks great, I love the square frame shape on these sunglasses. They are light and the $ for plastic frames fits right in my budget. If you sweat they tend to get on the lens because the sun glasses have no nose support. I push them up on my forehead like my other wired Oakley with hinge spring and they stay! The frame and lens are very simple and you get what you pay for.

I decide to update my style after I lost my other pair of Oakley Sunglasses. The 2.0 are defiantly much more expenses but I love these sunglasses. They look very sleek in the black lens/finished I selected. The square shaped lens are classic style but in a modern look. Oakley didn't slack on the materials they used on the 2.0. I use them when I'm running and just casually everyday wear. I love the Spring Hinge on these glasses, that's the one reason why I paid the extra money just for the spring Hinge. I will probably will get a second pair of Oakley Sunglasses in plastic for outside sporting activities. You don't want to damage these because of the price they cost.

Great price, color and style. The only down size is its to large to fit in a car/suv drink holder. I prefer to bring my own water and that's sort of a down side on the large size of the bottle. ( I don't like having it rolling around in the sit and baby sitting it so to speak. Cap and plastic holder that goes on the bottle is solid and doesn't leak.

I'm very happy with this purchase. The VaporWick material itself is very soft and comfortable. I would wear this shirt everyday if I could. I wanted to buy two more shirts in different colors but they're out of stock now. I wear this shirt when I'm running and also just daily use. It keeps you cool and looks great. I wasn't looking forward to paying 25$ per shirt, but I don't regard it at all now.

Here's a few of the negative things I've noticed with these pants, light weight material, frayed edges around the pocket and length issues. Utility pants are usually more roomy, but these pants run so short that it makes them feel uncomfortable fitting. I'm 6' and the regular size length (32") is suppose to be long enough but it just doesn't feel right. I think if they where a little more baggier in size and had a boot cut for extra room they would be "perfect". I do like the softness of the material, what a shame in this style north face. I'll be returning them this coming week.

I’ve been wearing the North Face Denali Jacket for two winters and have been very unsatisfied by the lack of protection from the elements. Every time the wind hits the Denali Jacket I can feel it cutting through me. I got the Denali as a gift and figured it was the best jacket for the winter here in Michigan because everybody has one. I was wrong! I wanted a soft shell jacket that wouldn’t be to bulky to wear and a jacket that could stop the wind and rain (or at least resist some of it). The local ski shops recommend that I should buy the North Face Bionic Thermal Apex jacket; it’s about the same price as the Denali and offers much more protection. The great thing about this jacket is it has an adjustable cord on both side of the jacket, and on the sleeves for a better fit. I bought the jacket in solid black color (Graphite Gray/Black) and so far it’s been holding up in temperatures of 28 degree with rain, sleet and wind. This jacket is constructed very well and the black color looks very sleek. I also like the look of the material on the Bionic better than the fleece of the Denali. The jacket is roomy enough to wear more layers of clothing underneath to trap in more heat if older days.

The “Super Guide” Jacket was just released this summer 2006. I bought it directly from Patagonia because it wasn’t in my size at sporting store in my area. It’s definitely a lot cheaper on your website. The water proofing materials in this jacket are amazing, the water just beads up instantly on the surface of it. Water seems to dry off quickly inside or just beads off the jacket. It does come with a draw string around the waist and you can adjust it on both sides and pull it in tighter to snug your body. The pockets are set up high for climbing and keeps items inside safe, dry, and prevents them from falling out. Looks great, you can wear it casually and unzip it as a light jacket, but what’s great about this jacket is how well it protects you from wind and rain. I got caught in a heavy down pour today, and just zipped up the jacket tight and it kept me dry and everybody else coming into the store soaking wet! It is pricey, but a nice addition to your closet if you have the extra cash. I gave it a 4 because of the high price Patagonia is charging for it.
