A little flawed

Backcountry.com Wool Hooded Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 March 6, 2008

It's really warm and the outer face of the jacket looks/feels cool due to the wool, but the design is a little odd. The arms are pretty long (I'm 5'10'' 155 lbs and ordered the medium), and there's no collar...the hood is connected directly to the jacket like a hoody. This is fine if you want a hoody, but I was expecting a collar. Guess I should have looked at the pics a little more closely. Four stars only because it wasn't what I was expecting, but it's still a nice piece!

Backcountry.com Avalauncher T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 6, 2008

It's cheap, comfortable, and looks awesome! People like to ask, "Why do you have a cannon on your shirt?" When you explain it they just stare...unless they're cool and know what you're talking about.

Worth every penny!

Therm-a-Rest Base Camp Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 5 February 15, 2008

It self-inflates, so all you have to do is give a few extra puffs and you're good to go. Really warm and thick, so no worries about cold ground. Awesome car camping/base camp pad!

Add a little leverage to your skiing

Voile V Series Binding Risers

Rating for this product: 5 February 15, 2008

These give you the necessary rise to make quick edge to edge transitions while skiing. They also help defeat "wing out" when you turn, so they improve overall turning and stability.

Best shirt EVER?

Backcountry.com The Goat Organic Cotton T-Shirt Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 15, 2008

Quite possibly. It's soft and fits well. I'd size up if you don't like a close fit. And people love to ask, "What's with the goat??"

Not necessary, but totally worth it!

Yakima Multimounts 1 pair

Rating for this product: 5 August 22, 2007

These really opened up a lot of space for passengers and gear in my car. I used to carry kayak paddles and other long objects in the car which was pretty awkward, and it required the back seat(s) to be folded down. They're also way more secure than just lashing things to the rack.

Super comfortable

Exped AirMat 7.5 Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 4 August 18, 2007

More padding than anybody could ever need, and it's fairly light too considering the dimensions. The only problem with a pad that relies entirely on air is it doesn't insulate as well, and if you get a hole there's no foam padding to help compensate for loss of air. Be careful where you lay this pad to avoid punctures! I'd recommend it for warm/cool weather car camping or base camp use.
