I second the other review that the pants run quite large...I also had to return mine for a size smaller. (I am usually a 10, an 8 in these has plenty of room for me). They work fine with a harness as well as bouldering, as long as you don't mind a lower cut waist than other "workout" pants. I haven't really abused mine yet though as they are stylish and I hate to tear them up too badly!

I spent tons of time researching different brands of softshells and sorting through all the different (and high) prices when I stumbled on this jacket in the outlet. I wanted something to cut the constant wind of New Mexico's springtime, and this does the trick well. I have skied in it twice, and with a high-loft fleece underneath it is warmer and more windproof than the ski jacket I had been wearing. The added pockets inside the hand pockets are great...I'll put my car key in there when I am climbing or skiing and not worry about losing it when I pull something else out of the pocket. Overall I am really happy that I didn't pay a ton more for a big name jacket because this one is just as good!
