Nice harness

Black Diamond Diva Harness - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 July 17, 2008

This harness didn't quite fit me. The material was thicker than I like, and the leg loops felt too loose. Otherwise, it was a light harness, and it is fits you, is very good quality.

Great backpack

The North Face Yavapai Backpack - 1850cu in

Rating for this product: 5 July 17, 2008

This is a great backpack for school, or hiking. The backpack compartment is lightly padded, with a clip to secure it in place, and 14in by 12in. You can also use the laptop compartment for a hydration bladder and run the tube through a hole in the very top. It has nicely padded shoulders and back panel, but isn't as breathable for hikes.

Great Harness

Black Diamond Focus SA Harness - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 17, 2008

This is a pretty light weight harness, and is comfortable on. The quick-pull buckles make it very easy to adjust and I like that there are some on the legs and waist. I have a 29in waist and the Small fits me well.

Great Backpack!

The North Face Borealis Backpack - 1850cu in

Rating for this product: 5 July 17, 2008

This is a great backpack for school or hiking. The laptop compartment is lightly padded with a clip to secure it in place. It is 11in by 15in so it will fit a wider screen laptop. It also has a loop at the top that you could hang a hydration bladder on (instead of a laptop) and then run the tube out the hole in the top of the backpack for hikes.

Perfect around town bag

Timbuk2 Metro Messenger-Style Tote

Rating for this product: 5 July 9, 2008

This bag is big enough for a book, some groceries, a water bottle, or whatever else you need when running errands. I also love the side cell phone pocket, and the organization pockets on the inside are great for pens, change and other little stuff.

Timbuk2 Laptop Messenger Bag

Rating for this product: 5 July 9, 2008

This is a great laptop bag! I have the large and it fits the 15in MacBook Pro well. I'm 5'1" though, and I definitely feel dwarfed by the bag. It is a little bulky, even when not very full.

a bit big

The North Face Sport Hiker Lumbar Pack - 550cu in

Rating for this product: 5 July 9, 2008

It's nice that you can use the shoulder strap, or as a lumbar pack. It also has a bunch of pockets and will hold a lot of stuff (including a water tight music pocket). I thought that it was too big though, and looked pretty dorky.

Great Pack!

The North Face Big Shot Backpack - 2100cu in

Rating for this product: 5 July 9, 2008

This is a pretty big pack that can be used for almost anything. The laptop pocket is pretty big (12in by 16in), is thinly padded and has a clip to secure the laptop in place. You can also use the laptop pocket for a hydration bladder if you take it for a hike. There are tons of little pockets on the inside that you can use for a power cord, pens, music, cds... whatever. The back and shoulder straps are padded and breathe pretty well.

The North Face Hotshot Se Backpack - 2000cu in

Rating for this product: 5 July 9, 2008

This is a great backpack for school or hiking. The laptop pocket is 11 by 13.5in, is lightly padded and has a clip to secure the laptop in place. When you aren't carrying a laptop, you can also use that for a hydration bladder and run the hose through the top. It has tons of pockets on the inside and out and the back/shoulder straps are padded.

You can also use that pocket for a hydration bladder when hiking and run the hose out the top of the pack. It has tons of pockets for all your little things and the back/shoulder straps are padded.

CamelBak Reservoir Dryer

Rating for this product: 5 July 9, 2008

This works well to dry out your bladder and keep it clean. You can always just stick the tube into the bladder to keep it open and hang it by the hook. This is definitely easier though.

CamelBak Hydration Pack Cleaning Kit

Rating for this product: 5 July 9, 2008

I left some Emergen-C water in my camelbak and didn't like the left over taste. The cleaning tablets got rid of that, and the tube brush was easy enough to use. The water tastes much better now.

CamelBak Mayhem Hydration Pack - 3L

Rating for this product: 5 July 9, 2008

The 3L bladder is great for longer trips, or when you are biking in the desert and need more water. There is a bunch of storage space too, so you can keep all of your gear, food and extra clothing in it.

awesome pack

CamelBak Velocity Hydration Pack - 2.1L

Rating for this product: 5 July 9, 2008

This is a great pack for biking - the bladder can easily be filled without taking it out, and it still comes out quickly when you need to clean it. It also has a good amount of storage space for gear, food, wind shirt.

CamelBak Ergo Angles

Five Ten Anasazi V2 (VCS) Climbing Shoe

Mad Rock Frenzy Climbing Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 7, 2008

These are pretty good shoes, they have a flatter shape, but the rubber is sticky. I wear a women's 6.5 street shoe, and the size 5 fit me well. The rubber is pretty thick on these, so they will last you a while.

Great beginning shoe

Five Ten Spire Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 5 July 7, 2008

These are great shoes for beginners, or anyone who wants a comfortable shoe. I usually wear a 6.5 in women's and I got a 5 (men's) in these. They were tight to begin with, but stretched out for a very comfy fit after about a week of use.

so comfortable!

La Sportiva Mythos Climbing Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 7, 2008

These are the best crack climbing shoe I've ever used! The sides are thin, so they fit well into the smaller cracks, and the flat foot fit is great for crack comfort and multi-pitch climbs. I wear a women's 6.5 in street shoes, and a 4.5 in the men's work great for me (they stretch about a half size).

Big heel

La Sportiva Katana Rock Climbing Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 July 7, 2008

I didn't really like these shoes because the heel was too big. I have a pretty small heel, and love the Mythos, but these just flopped around on my heel. The fit was good everywhere else with a 35 -- I normally wear a women's 36.5/37 in street shoes.

Evolv Pontas Lace Up Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 5 July 7, 2008

If you loved the velcro pontas, but wanted something for cracks as well, these are great! I wear a women's 6.5 normally and the 5 is a tight fit, or 5.5 would be flatter, and better for cracks.
