i got this packaged with the BS-50 mini hand pump. Well, after the hand pump bent two of my pins you can probably guess what the BS stood for. The tool is convenient. I keep it in my bag with me everywhere i go, but it's pretty difficult to get enough torque to adjust my seat because it's *that* small. Is that a complaint?

I got harassed by a million middle school kids todays because my jacket was so bling and possibly stylin'. Harassed isn't the right word exactly, because they were into it, but who needs attention from the youth of today? I'm happy though because it kept me dry in the weather apocalypse, front and back. The only thing that would make it better would be vents for when it wasn't raining, and also, less stupid scorpions. Castelli makes some nice gear, but they should knock that off.

but they do everything else. I am really really impressed. Ice, trees, and hucks, I don't know what i did without these. I was on an AT set-up too, not tele.

these are amazingly stiff and yet super comfortable. Going uphill is easy, and downhill even better. They keep me warm, my feet are happy, and they can drive my ski. A better all around experience than the performance boots like the Lange 120s, without sacrificing much. Plus, if you have a narrow foot they will fit you like a glove. or boot. whatever. I couldn't be happier.

Seriously, I might not have to wash them till then! (Please don't tell her!) I don't even think I yelled at a cabbie all week. At night I can wash them in the bathroom and they're dry by morning, if I'm not feeling too lazy. Amazing! The only problem is that my friends are sick with hearing how great my underwear is.

I wear this to work on my road bike every day and it never gets gross. I am getting a little sick of drying off with paper towels though, maybe i'll start bringing a pack towel. It does bleed like crazy every time I wash it (red) so keep it separate for a long while.

I wish that I bought the biggest size though, the 20x36 isn't quite enough to get that nice warm you up kind of wrap around, but it is certainly enough to dry you off. dry's pretty quick. everyone needs one. It's a towel, let's not get too crazy here.

I love Lange's and stiff boots and although these don't ski quite like a race boot, these scarpa's were so warm, comfortable, light, and fun to ski in that I might never wear another brand or traditional boot again. Not stiff enough for slalom but who cares. They got me down Tucks (and up too, hiking from HoJo's) and I had a great day. Can't wait to do some trees with them in 07-08.
