prAna Sugar Mini Skort - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
LOVE IT OVERALL   02-23-08   

This is a great skort. The length is perfect--pretty short, but I prefer that for my skinny legs. The fabric is substantial, and the flare of the skirt is just right. Not too tight, not too a-line. I have only two complaints. First, the elastic in the top waistband is a bit thinner than the actual casing for it, so I have a feeling it is going to roll with use. It's not wide and flat like it looks in the photo. Also, because I have very thin legs, the shorts underneath don't hug my thighs as tightly as I'd like them to. But like I said, I STILL LOVE IT! I have a feeling this will become my summer staple for active and casual wear.

La Sportiva Mythos Climbing Shoe - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Good All-Around Shoe   05-12-08   

This was the first rock climbing shoe that I bought, and it has served me well. I definitely prefer it for top-rope and sport climbing over bouldering, but either way, it's good for anything and is relatively comfortable. I'd say if you're going to do a lot of indoor bouldering, go for something more edgy like an Evolv Velcro strapped shoe, but this is perfect for outdoor route climbing.

Arc'teryx C80 Chalk Bag    Read other reviews of this product
 
Very Functional and Durable   05-12-08   

This is a great chalk bag. I love that the upper rim is molded plastic so it stays open and ready when you need to take a dip. I also like that it dips down a bit on the side with the logo so that when you reach back, you aren't having to look for where to go to get your chalk. It's just a great bag. The one thing is that it doesn't seem to close as tightly as some bags. But overall, it's a good bag.

Love It   05-09-08   

Very cute and comfy. Shelf bra is perfect and substantial. Ordered same size as tops in Prana. Size small--I am 5'6" and 120 lbs. Smaller up top and this was a good fit.

Chaco Eclipse Sandal - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
LOVE THESE!   05-08-08   

These are my favorite flip flops. They are super cute, super comfortable, and super versatile. They are dressy enough that you could wear them with cute capris or a dress, but you could also wear them with jeans or shorts and look just right. I wear an 8.5-9 and ordered these in a 9. They're awesome!

Patagonia Eshie Dress - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Cute and Comfortable   05-08-08   

This dress will be perfect for casual days at work and evenings with friends in the backyard. I'm 5'6", 120 lbs, and the small is a good fit. I did think that the bottom flared out a little more than what I normally like, but it's still really cute. The length is a little above the knee. The fabric is soft. There is no shelf bra, but the fabric is still pretty substantial.

The Best Undies, Hands Down   05-02-08

Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Tights - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
my favorite winter baselayer.   05-02-08   

i love these pants for skiing and snowboarding. they have a high waist--which i actually love--because it keeps the snow off my bum. they are also pretty fitted but not too tight to be uncomfortable. the waistband is non-chafing and very comfortable. even if you pull it down to a lower level, it doesn't cut into you. i am 5'6", 120 lbs and a small is perfect. i should add that i've washed these probably a hundred times, and they're still in perfect shape.

Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Zip Tee Long-Sleeve - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
i wear this thing almost every day in the winter.   05-02-08   

i wear this multi-purpose shirt ALL THE TIME. i wear it skiing, snowboarding, to the office as a sweater, bumming around town, camping, hiking, around my waist in case the temp change, etc. etc. it has probably been through the wash a hundred times or more, and it still looks great. i have a small and am 5'6", 120 lbs. it fits perfectly and looks stylish enough to be a top layer if you want.

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Hooded Down Jacket - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
a great winter jacket   05-02-08   

this is a great jacket. it keeps me toasty warm on winter camping trips. it's long in length...so it covers your back when you bend over. the sleeves are fine for me at 5'6" and 120 lbs. i'd say the small runs a little large. but i like the fit for layering. the detachable hood is also a nice feature. i have also washed this jacket in the machine, and it came out just fine after a tumble dry with no heat.

Patagonia Stand Up Shorts - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
will always be my favorite shorts...   05-02-08   

the Patagonia stand up shorts keep getting better and better. remember the old ones that were so high on the waist? ha! i loved those, too. but these...these are the best. these have a low rise...the perfect length...and the fabric seems like it will last forever. the back pockets are super flattering, and i love the Velco closure. these are wonderful. i am 5'6", 120 lbs, and i got a size 6. they are perfect.

Patagonia Hotline Top - Women's    This product is no longer available
 
my favorite climbing top   05-02-08   

this is my absolutely, number one favorite climbing top for several reasons. first, the fabric is super substantial. the bra inside is great and supportive. the underarm area doesn't cut into me like some other brands do. the straps stay put and are sort of a racerback. the length is just right, and i like the split in the back. the v-neck is flattering and this thing is just great! the sizing is also right on. i get a small and i'm 5'6", 120 lbs.

love these shorts!   05-02-08   

i ordered these in a size 6 and absolutely love them (i am normally around a size 4 or 6, 5'6" and 120 lbs). the fabric is super soft, and the length is perfect for me. i highly recommend them as all-around shorts for either hiking or bumming around town.

The North Face TNF Cami - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
a basic tank...but the shelf bra doesn't do much.   05-02-08   

first of all, this tank runs a bit big. i am usually a small and ordered a small, but it has excess fabric under the arms. i would have been better off with an xs. in addition, the shelf bra is pretty flimsy for my taste (in comparison to something like a Patagonia or prAna sport top). if you don't want a whole lot of support, it's fine.

The North Face Bolshoi Scoop Crew Printed - Short Sleeve - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
nice shirt; runs big   05-02-08   

i like this shirt a lot, but it does run a little bit. i haven't washed it yet though. it's nice and long--hits at the hip. it's really soft and super comfortable. i'm normally a small and ordered a small. i'd say if you like your stuff really fitted, order a size down. otherwise, order your regular size if you like a more airy feel or want to layer with a tank underneath.

The North Face Catch A Fire T-Shirt - Cap Sleeve - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
cute but does run slightly large.   05-02-08   

i haven't washed this yet, so i'm hoping it will shrink a little bit. i am normally a women's small, but i'd say this is more like a medium. i think i would have been better off with an xs. it is, however, really cute and breezy. will be nice with a skirt and some flip flops this summer. it's also nice and long.

Dansko Professional Oiled Casual Clog - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
comfortable and functional.   05-02-08   

these are pretty much my "go-to" shoes in the fall and winter. i don't wear them as much in the spring/summer because they're just not as functional (i switch to the flip-flops), but otherwise, they're great. i wear 8.5-9 in street shoes, and i wear a 39 in this shoe with thin socks and a 40 with a thick sock. i think it depends on personal fit preference. they are super comfortable. my only fit complaint is that i sometimes turn my ankle in these because they are a little bit wide for me.

cute and comfortable   05-02-08   

these shoes are very flattering on my feet and really comfortable, too. i normally wear an 8.5 in street shoes, so i ordered a 9. i would say these run a little narrow since the straps are relatively fitted on my narrow feet. the bottoms are nice and soft...very comfy.

i have two pairs, and they're really nice...   04-27-08   

i have these in two colors and really like them. they're functional, cute and comfy. i wear them on camping trips and into the office, and i find them appropriate for both. the pattern on the fabric is almost like a super fine corduroy, and they're really soft. one thing that i found interesting is that i ended up in a 4 in one pair and a 2 in another--however, they both fit exactly the same (i am 5'6" and 120 lbs). the bootcut bottoms are also nice.

cute shirt, tight elbows   04-27-08   

i agree with the other reviews that this top has tight sleeves/shoulders; however, i still love it. i purchased a small, and i am 5'6", 115-120 lbs. i could have used a medium, but i'm happy with the small. i've even put this shirt into the dryer, and it came out fine for me. i just make sure to stretch it out a little bit before folding it and putting it away. the sleeves and length are longer which is nice. it's also a very soft fabric.

cute shirt, trim fit   04-27-08   

i ordered this shirt in a size small, and it's perfect. i don't put it in the dryer, though, as it's pretty trim (not tight). it's longer in length--which is perfect for me--and its super soft. i am happy with the small although a medium would have also worked. personal preference, i suppose (i am 5'6", 120 lbs).

Great Everyday Sweater   04-25-08   

i wear this sweater to work and even the gym all the time--it has been washed over and over and has really taken a beating. plus, it's really comfortable. i wish it was a little bit longer, but overall, it's really nice. the sleeves are long enough for me, and that's a plus. it has a slim fit with a sort of slight turtleneck as another reviewer has mentioned. it's great to throw on over a tank top when the air is a little crisp. super soft fabric, too. i wash this in the machine and let it air dry just to be safe. i normally wear a small and purchased a small. i've tried a medium, too, and think either would work depending on how you like the fit to be.

Evolv Elektra Climbing Shoe - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Comfortable, precise, affordable...   04-25-08   

these are great shoes for a beginner or intermediate climber. i have been bouldering about a year and love these. i purchased my street shoe size (8.5), and it's just right (don't size down in these since they have a synthetic lining and won't stretch). these are really comfortable, and you will be tempted to keep them on for hours at a time. don't do that, however, because the synthetic liner will make your feet sweaty and stinky. if this happens, you can wash them out with a gentle detergent and warm water. take an old toothbrush and scrub the inside. then, put dr. scholl's foot powder in them after they dry. they'll be a lot better. i highly recommend these shoes--and the price can't be beaten.

Chaco ZX/2 Unaweep Sandal - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Favorite Sandals   04-25-08   

this chaco sandal is just wonderful. i see that many have complained about the straps, but i think that's because a lot of people aren't aware of how to adjust them. you have to take some time to get these right from the get go, but once you do that, you're all set! the arch support on these is great for me, and i find them really stable for various sporting endeavors. plus, the style is perfect for me. i think the straps on this model are more feminine and pretty than some of the other chaco offerings--especially on my larger size feet. as for sizing, i am an 8.5-9 in street shoes, and i ordered a 9. i would say my feet are a little on the narrow side.

a good all-around t-shirt   04-02-08   

this t-shirt is great. it's soft, true-to-size, and super comfortable. it also didn't shrink in the wash. i am normally a small but ordered a medium just to be sure this wouldn't be too tight. it fits perfectly--not snug at all. i am 5'6" and 120 lbs.
