Gi-rant

I will admit--I really like the gear Spy makes. Overall, there is high quality and great bang for the buck. Which is why I bought these goggles. They look great, fit great, and do their job perfectly. I personally wouldn't spend any more money on goggles than I did on these (ignorance is bliss, right?) Pros: Sweet looking, excellent lense color, fog up rarely, good ventilation, high quality look and feel. Cons: Do fog up on occassion--but clear quickly, do not know how scratch resistant lenses are--time will tell

I go to school in Eastern Washington and have been desperate to find a warm jacket. I was looking for a good all around down jacket that would keep me warm in the fall and winter, without being too hard core (extremely high fill)--I found it. The 550 fill has been perfect for cold nights (in the low 30s) and even during the day when it gets about 50. In class, it is comfortable to leave on (I don't get too warm). The only way you notice it's cold outside is by the feeling of the parts of your body not protected by this beast of a jacket. I don't have any experience yet with it in truly cold weather, but so far it's been perfect. I wouldn't recommend it for rain, however--they nylon shell will allow the down to get drenched. Besides, there's no hood on this bad boy. It's got a sweet look to it, too. Be prepared for countless compliments. Highs: Perfect fill, good build, looks great, killer price Lows: Might be too light for frigid weather, not meant for rainy days (that's what a rain jacket is for, anyway)

This backpack is perfect for day-to-day hauling. I bought it for school, but have been using it back and forth between work this summer. It's proven to be really comfortable and looks great. Has excellent utility; love the two small front compartments. The lower compartment has very useful dividers for hauling your cellphone and ipod, along with a key attachment. Just the right size--not too big, not too small.
