I owned the hardrock prior to this shoe. These weren't quite as comfy off the bat but they've broken in nicely. I wear these extensively and haven't had any problems with them. I hike the Utah backcountry in them and they do well in all conditions. They are light and well constructed. One complaint is that I can't keep the shoes tied if I ever have to bushwack or go on extended hikes. Maybe that's my problem?

This sweatshirt is stupid comfortable. It's a great fit as well. I agree with Dj Nebula. The logo placement is tight. They kept this simple and I love it.

I think the Trail Trekking Poles are a great value. They actually weigh less than some of the more expensive models. I've never really hiked with poles before, and it's been a relief on the knees and makes going down almost bearable.

The comfort level is awesome with this T. It's extremely light and does not intrude. I do agree with another review regarding its durability. If you trail run you're going to snag early and often. If you stay out of the woods then you'll be fine. However, the snags only build character.

The inner liner really sets these shorts apart from others. They are very comfortable and chafing is not an issue. My only beef is that the antimicrobial is not so anti-stink. You'll likely be washing these often.

I wore this shirt during a night relay race and found the reflective properties to fit the bill. I like the material for endurance running as chafing isn't a problem. I also find the shirt to be cool and comfortable.

This is a great trail shoe that fits true to size. It's sturdy and I'm really starting to enjoy the Park City trails in them. I'm usually not that concerned about appearance but this time I've got a problem. The Foil Grey and Gunnison Green is a mistake I recommend avoiding.

The datasnake is easy to use for the average computer user. If you can upload the pics from your digital camera of choice you can nail this. I did have to download a patch for windows XP from MSFT to get this to work (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935448). Suunto has a good FAQ and BBS at www.suunto.com if you have problems. My only issue lies with the software rather than the datasnake. I'd much rather have a web interface for my workout data rather than having to install software locally.

Straight forward installation and peace of mind.

It doesn't get any better than this as far as cotton goes. The shirts are soft and fit very nicely. I love the simple design and look. Keep'em coming.

I like the rack but...I find it a pain to have to go wheel off every time but that's the sacrifice for security, right? The problem is that my wife's trek fuel 70 has disk breaks that actually impede a solid connection at the fork. In addition, I had an end cap fall off and I lost the clasp. Not cool.

This cushy sneaker works on or off the trail. I've completed a few climbs in these on single track with some exposed rock without incident. This is my first time trying Pearl Izumi and I'm very pleased.

This Harness is fantastic. I dig the fit and the comfort bar has been set pretty high. Lastly, if you're looking for quality this won't fall short.

These are my first pair of climbing shoes and I love'em. They break in nicely so don't be afraid to go down a size to a half size. That was a recommendation from a good friend and I'm glad I took it.

I'm quite pleased with the T6. It's less bulky than the Suunto vector altimeter and you get more functionality. I've found the interface to be user friendly and easy to adjust. If you need a this type of functionality then you won't be disappointed. The software that comes with is decent although I'd love to see Suunto come up with an online application to house my workout data.

This thing leaks. Enough said.

I thought climbing shoes were supposed to hurt? I'm a newbie at all this climbing stuff but this shoe definitely rocks. I tried them on at REI for sizing and settled on a size. I spoke with a friend and he said if that I should go a half size lower than I felt comfortable in. I did and after three climbs they've broken in nicely. My wife got the women's version and she's pleased as well.

I picked up the G10 MX for my mother-in-law and she's quite pleased. It's comfortable and fits like a charm. Believe it or not, it's fashion forward enough to don at the likes of Deer Valley Resort in Park City, UT.

The carrier is easier to assemble than IKEA furniture. I'm using the Hitch Ski Carrier with the Thule Spare Me Spare Tire Mount on a 1998 Jeep Wrangler. The ski carrier fits snugly on the Mount but is slightly off center. It's not going anywhere but if it fit a bit more flush I'd like it even better.
