Nice jacket!

The North Face Bionic Softshell Jacket - Boys'

Rating for this product: 5 August 18, 2008

My son loves this jacket so far. Sheds light rain, sleet, snow and is warm, but not clammy (breathes well). He plans to use it for school, hiking, and skiing this year. As the other reviewer said: it runs a little large.

AWESOME!!

Lowa Banff Backpacking Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 August 18, 2008

These boots are really nice. My feet sweat alot in goretex boots, but these leather lined boots really vent well (sweaty feet contribute to blisters). The leather lining conforms to your feet after about 15 miles. They are plenty supportive for rough trail backpacking. Used these in the Canadian Rockies for a week (both hiking and backpacking) and my feet never got tired or sore. I love these boots.

Nice sandals!

Ahnu Tilden II Sandal - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 July 8, 2008

I've tried every sandal available. I love my chacos, but wanted to get something with more coverage for certain times. These are very comfortable, and fit me well. They are much cooler than keens. They are very light on my feet. Time will tell about durability, but I like them so far. The main dislike is they are harder to get on than some others I have tried.

Great kids pack!

Osprey Packs Jib 35 Backpack 2100cu in - Youth

Rating for this product: 5 May 27, 2008

My son (8.5 yrs old) loves this pack. He reports it is very comfortable, and I noticed it looks very stable on his back while he hikes. He loves the hipbelt pockets for carrying his gum and snacks. It also works well with a camelback bladder so he stays hydrated. Should be good for several years due to the adjustable frame size and hipbelt. He has had many comments from other backpackers/hikers about how cool it is.

Almost perfect

Smith Variant Helmet

Rating for this product: 4 January 9, 2008

Very nice helmet. Works great in varying conditions due to excellent venting. Lower profile avoids the bubble-head look of some helmets. Only bad things are minimal padding on inside and a little heavier than my previous helmet: Giro 9. Overall I love it.

Didn't fit me right.

Teva Viejo Sandal - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 June 20, 2007

At first glance, seem to be excellent sandal. But while trying them out around the house, they rubbed my feet in several places. I don't think they fit my foot shape very well. Quality seems great, though.

Smith Prodigy Goggles

Rating for this product: 5 November 7, 2005

Nice goggles. Have not used on snow yet, but vision appears to be very clear. They also fit my face with and without my helmet. They have a nice field of view.

nice pack

The North Face Hammerhead 12 Hydration Pack

Rating for this product: 4 June 16, 2005

The pack is well built and works great for hiking and biking. I use it for long day hikes and anytime I go out for a ride. You can hold more than the volume indicates with the external mesh pockets and bungee cord. I have used Camelbak bladders for years with no problems, so we will see how the Nalgene bladder holds up. I don't like the tube as well; it seems to kink easier. Other than that I expect the pack to last for many years.

CamelBak Rim Runner Hydration Pack

Rating for this product: 4 May 23, 2005

Good product. Holds plenty of stuff and water for long day hikes in the desert or peak bagging. Love the external bladder access for refilling.

great binding

Look P10 Lifter Alpine Binding

Rating for this product: 5 April 8, 2005

I bought these for my wife's K2 Burnin Luv skis. She likes the feel of the binding, and says the short mounting zone seems to help give her more flex in the middle of the ski. Highly recommended!

Great base layer!

Marmot Midweight Zip LS - Mens

Rating for this product: 5 May 10, 2004

This shirt is great for skiing (that's all I have used it for so far). The fit is nice overall, and it really keeps me dry and warm. Highly recommend it.
