This 5 piece brush set is great because there is a brush for anything you'd need it for. The 3 toothbrush's are perfect for getting in small cracks or getting those small, chalky edges. The bigger brush is perfect for the larger areas that need brushing, all to aid you in getting the most friction possible while you send that new 5.15 you've been working on!!

I used this monocular when I went to Grand Teton National Park a few weeks ago. I was impressed with how easy this is to use. I've also never used a monocular before until this one, and I think they are much easier than binoculars. I used it to zoom in on the mountains and on all the wildlife that only looked like little specs from the road. Things that would otherwise be out of view are easily visible with this Eterna Monocular.

I have had these Gore Mitts since last winter, and I have no intention on buying any new ones for a while. They include a pair of liner gloves, which are great to wear separately driving in your cold car. Also, these mitts are so surprisingly warm. You wouldn't think a mitt this inexpensive would be this warm! You must buy some of these!

I have worn these only about 5-6 times so far, but my dog demonstrated how tough these are. My dog found them on my floor, and decided to come to me a play tug-o-war with them. I tried pulling them out of her mount, but it just made her think we were playing even more. I let her go, and found them on the floor later. To my surprise, NO TORN THREADS AT ALL. That’s all I need to say.

I got these Castro's for Christmas, and now I wear them almost every single day. They are as comfortable as slippers, but still are sturdy and rugged enough to wear outside as a shoe. it has a regular Globe sole on it, so it's like a skate shoe/slipper!

I wear these shoes whenever I workout and go running. They fit my feet perfectly, making them feel like a part of my foot. The only downfall is the super thin sole, which do wear down a little quicker. But so far, the Frixion rubber doesn't seem to wear as fast as most other soles do.

I had never used a twistlock-style biner before, until this one. Let's just say I will always be using this Twistlock type biners in the future. They are SOO easy to use and the rope never catches on the gate. It's a must have for all climbers!

I love going up to Brighton for some night snowboarding! A ticket is super cheap, and the slopes are not crowded at all. Weekdays are the best time to go, but weekends still have some really short lift lines. All 3 board parks are lit up at night too. See you up at Brighton!!

I have been using by Classic Sleeve for a few months now. It's made of Ballistic nylon, and seems indestructible. The inside is lined with a very soft corduroy, and it seems impossible to scratch your laptop in this sleeve. As far as sizing, I have a 15.4" wide screen HP Pavilion laptop. I got the Large, and I wish I had gotten the XL. it fits inside, but it's a very tight fit. If you want a more loose fit, so the laptop slides in easy, then go for an XL if you have a 15.4 wide screen. Great sleeve though! A++

I got these for a lady friend of mine, and she loves them. She has them in a few different colors, and wears them almost every day. She uses them for climbing, and going to the gym, and claims they are the most comfortable pants she has! BUY SOME!!

Finding jeans that I like is a difficult task. I've gone through many different jeans over the last few years, and only about half of them fit the way I want. Well, the search is over! The Volcom Ergo Jeans are by far my favorite jeans because of the look and fit. I like my jeans baggy, but not overly so. Since it's so hard to find baggy jeans these days, I was stoked to come across these. Volcom says these Ergo jeans are the baggiest fitting jeans they make, which just happens to be the perfect amount of bagginess for me.

The Eagle Creek Pack-It Quarter Cube is an extremely simple product, but yet is extremely useful. It's "main purpose" is organizing your suitcase, backpack or rolling gear bag while traveling, but of course you can use one for just about ANYTHING. It's uses are limitless. It's always nice to have a few Pack-It Quarter Cube's around because you never know when you'll discover a new use them.

If you wear no show socks, then you MUST own a few pairs of these guys. They're unbelievably comfy and durable. They do a great job keeping my feet cool when I'm out hiking, running, walking, bungy jumping... whatever! I wear them all the time now, no matter what I'm doing or where I'm going. And if I go hiking I make certain that I'm wearing some Adrenaline Light Micro Socks. There's no reason to wear plain old regular socks anymore. Once you try out some of these, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Originally I was planning to drop a couple hundred bones on a nice, stainless watch. For months I researched Nixon watches, and was pretty set on getting a Nixon. I narrowed my choices down to 2 or 3, but still struggled with spending so much on a watch. Then I stumbled on this Rip Curl Base watch... for 1/4 as much as I was about to spend on a Nixon!!! My friends think it cost a LOT more than it did, and I've gotten some compliments on it. Setting the time and date is super simple too.

I've owned a couple different camera bags in my life, and this good looking Exposure II is by far the best. First off, it's a very well made, tough and rugged bag. The fairly large waterproof-zippered pocket on the front of the bag is key for holding extra batteries (my camera sucks 'em down like Coca Cola!), memory cards, USB cords, food, or whatever you want. The main compartment is zippered, and lined with fuzzy stuff so your camera is protected from scratches and slight bumps. You can easily attach the bag to your belt too with the big, burly velcro strap on back. No matter where you go with your camera, or how often you use it, you'll be pleased with this bag.

These are the first Sessions pants I've ever worn. I've ridden in these bad boys around 10 times now, and so far I'm very impressed. Their cargo pockets are huge, and deep, so you can store a ton of whatever. The inseam venting kicks ass too. The vent itself is mesh covered, but the venting is pretty long in length. It saved me from burning up in the lift lines on a bluebird day last week. For the price, these are great pants.

For me, I have to try on, and experiment with different T-Shirt brands till I find one that fits the way I want it to. I've now discovered that DC tee's fit me perfectly. They're slightly longer than an "average" tee, but just barely. It's a high quality, tough shirt also. These Rob & Big shirts look sick! There's 2 more of them in the Outlet. I may have to pick up one of each!

Let's be honest, what's better than a Backcountry.com gift certificate?... Answer= Nothing. I love to give and receive Backcountry gift certs because they give you freedom. Freedom to order whatever gear you want, whenever you want. So if you get a gift cert as a Christmas gift you hang onto it for a while, and use it months later when you need some new gear for an upcoming backpacking trip, or whatever. Gift certificates= Freedom to choose

This is the first Oakley brand t shirt I've owned and I'm a fan already. The sleeves are a little shorter than most, but aren't too short by any means. The shirt is SUPER soft and comfy with the sick scatter graphics on the right shoulder area. The color of the shirt is slightly off-white, with a very slight gray tint. The off whiteness is only noticeable when put next to a totally white shirt. Pick one up!!

These guys are super light, breathable and soft, making them more comfortable than I thought possible. I questioned the price of this pair of boxer briefs, but now I know why people are willing to spend the money. Well worth the cost indeed. Can't imagine anything more comfortable.

I have worn at least a dozen different rock shoes in my life, for bouldering and sport climbing, and these are some of the better ones. They aren't the best shoes I've ever worn, but I'm a big fan. The Gryptonite rubber is actually a great rubber, and surprisingly sticky for how hard it is. At first, the rubber seems slippery and hard, but once on the rock, it grips pretty well. Gryptonite rubber is not as sticky and soft as Evolv's Trax rubber and 5.10's Stealth rubber, but I do like it. I also like the CTX thermo-moldable gel areas, under the toes and around the heel. Once you put the shoes in the oven and mold the CTX gel, they do fit your foot better and are more comfortable. For the price, these are a great shoe.

this is the first jacket I've worn w/ Primaloft insulation. I am amazed at it's warmth, but also how it seems to only keep you as warm as you need to be. I can wear this jacket inside my house, and not overheat. Then, I wear it outside in sub-zero temps, and I am perfectly warm. Also, it blocks the wind amazingly well. I walked my dog in 30-40 mph wind and no wind got through. BUY IT!

I have had a few different pairs of Reef sandals before, but these Fanning's are my favorite yet. The bottle opener is a nice extra, plus they seem to stay on my feet much easier than any other sandal has. The foot bed is textured, so your foot doesn't slip around, and stays put much better.

This is the first helmet I have ever worn. I was so blown away at how light it is, and how it is super strong. It has saved my head a few different times. I wear Smith Phenoms w/ it, and they fit great. But the goggles that fit the best, are the Spy Soldiers. There is NO gap whatsoever between the goggle and helmet. A++

I bought these shorts about a month ago, and have been climbing in them 3-4 times a week since. They are really soft, comfortable, and lightweight that sometimes I forget I'm wearing shorts. The pockets are super deep, and the material seems to be very resistant to ripping. So far there have been no rips or tears whatsoever. I recommend these to ANY climber/boulderer out there who wants something light and comfortable to wear, on and off the rock.

I've had this watch for about 2 months now, and I wear it everyday. I workout 5-6 days a week, trail running, hiking, and working out at the gym. I have seen a HUGE bump up in motivation, and I give credit to the T3. The Training Effect feature is my favorite, so I know how intense my workout is on a scale of 1-5. Having a number to shoot for when working out is great, and really pushes me to go a little harder. The watch has so many cool features, I can't imagine how cool the higher end T6 is! I recommend the Suunto T3 to everyone who wants a HR monitor, regardless of how often you'd use it.
