Suunto X6HR Heart Rate Monitor Watch    Read other reviews of this product
 
Previous Version Excellent   03-04-08   

I've had this watch (pre-HR green version) for 3 years and worn it in the roughest environments. It's taken a real beating but continues to function better than any of my others. It's comfortable, allows you to read two time zones on the same page, estremely customizable and has an intuitive layout. The ABC (I mainly use compass) functions well. It's also a bit smaller than most Suuntos.Only downside is that it's not solar powered as I burned out a a bettery about onece a year.

Nothing But Ex Officio Boxers   03-04-08   

I've worn these for rough travel around the world and have added enough of them over the years that they are now the only boxers I wear. They don't ride up and they breath and dry quickly. If you're prone to that uncomfortable..uh..chafing, get these! Everyone I've turned them onto have purchased multiple pairs.

Excellent Daily Carry   03-04-08   

Though I have some nicer more expensive folders, this is an excellent bang for the buck. The axis lock is smooth and fast for one handed opening and the C154CM steel holds a nice edge after few minutes on m Syderco Sharpener. I lost mine a few months ago and will probably buy another one.

Must Have Item   03-04-08   

This is one piece of gear I couldn't do without. Worn every night on 3 trips around bases in Iraq and at least a few times at home to keep from waking wife in the bedroom. Comfortable, red lens flips down easily, AAA batteries seem to last forever, easily adjustable for best angle. I literally don't leave home without it. There may be some newer cooler headlamps out there these days but you can't go wrong with this one.

Oakley Half Jacket XLJ Sunglasses - Polarized    Read other reviews of this product
 
Great Glasses   03-04-08   

I've worn these since they were released through three trips to Iraq. I lost the firest pair and after trying several other brands, returned them and bought these old faithfuls. Excellent frames that don't slip down a sweaty nose. Comfortable for hours on end. Only negatives are the Polarized Iridium lenses scratch easily so I've gone through a few of them and, the glasses, because they fit close, may be a little more prone to fogging especially when I have my morning coffee.

The North Face Paramount Convertible Pant - Men's    This product is no longer available
 
Not Perfect but Best I've Found   03-04-08   

I really like these pants enough that I bought a second pair. Wish they had real belt loops. The front cargo pockets ride above the deep regular pockets and I'd rather have them on the side. Finally, these pants run a bit long (luckily mine shrank to fit with the first washing.) All that said, I'm an outdoor photographer and have worn these all over the world in all temp ranges. They are exceedingly comfortable, dry quickly and are the toughest nylon pants I've used. So, not perfect but I've tried a lot of multipurpose pants and haven't found any better.
