The North Face Ruckus Laptop Bag - 2150cu in
September 19, 2008
I'm 5'2 and 120lbs so the bag might just be too big for me anyway. The bag is HUGE and can easily hold my computer, school books, pens, pencils, a jacket, etc..., but there are a few problems with it. 1- no handle on the bag so it makes it tough to put on/ off and adjust on your body. 2) the "waist belt" is a joke!! It's just a 1 inch velcro strap and it's way below my waist, so I can't even use it. The bag is so big, it becomes really easy to overstuff it so weight becomes a problem. I'd suggest a bag with a handle. The PVC lining is nice and there is a seperation for the computer. A really nice pen/ pencil/ cell holder is a pocket and there is a nice pocket to put whatever. My last complaint is there is no place for water! It needs a hydration thing on the side.

Great boots!
Dalbello Sports Lotus Ski Boot - Women's
January 10, 2007
I enjoy these boots. They only have 3 buckles, and all of them have micro adjustments, which I like. The boots come with a removable insole. My only recommendation is to first get your boots PROFESSIONALLY fit! I didn't realize how snug ski boots are supposed to fit, but WOW, what a difference in my skiing performance! These boots did really well over blue runs and green runs, as well as bumps on the runs. These boots are GREAT for narrow feet.

what i needed, but rough around the edges
Mountain Hardwear Transition Zip T-Shirt - Women's
November 10, 2006
I wanted a 1/4 zip that is windproof, and the gearheads pointed this top out. It fits GREAT, and is WINDPROOF!! I like that part, but the black isn't a solid black... kinda a charcoal black or light black... I really can't explain it. Also, as someone else mentioned, you can feel the seams, and that does get a little scratchy. I might start wearing a light tee underneath, so I don't feel it.

WARMEST hat!
The North Face WindStopper High Point Hat
October 31, 2006
OK... So everyone makes fun of me when I wear this because they say I look like I'm going to be shot out of a cannon. I'd agree that it's NOT the best looking hat I own. With that being said, it is the ONLY thing I can wear when I ski. It's WARM, light weight, windproof! Needless to say, I may look strange, but I don't have red ears or feel like my ears are going to freeze off. This hat will keep your ears AND head toasty through LONG days of skiing!

BUY THIS TOP!
Icebreaker BodyFit260 Olympia Zip - Women's
April 2, 2006
I bought this to wear instead of my polypropylene long underwear. This top is wonderful. I live in the desert and I can wear it alone and I'm not too warm or cold. I also took it skiing with me and it was awesome. I can zip up the neck so I didn't need a neck gaiter. I like the thumb loop which allowed me to keep the sleeves under the gloves for added warmth. The top as I said before looks great on its own. The flax color is an olive green color, which I couldn't tell from my computer. All I can say about this top is BUY IT. Like I said, it kept me warm in below freezing temps and cool in 70F weather. You'll get your money's worth!

Very Nice!
Icebreaker Bodyfit Leggings - Women's
April 2, 2006
I bought these to wear under ski pants because I was tired of the polypropylene. They were nice and warm as well as comfortable. I like the fact that they are machine washable (up to 5% shrinkage-according to the pants) or dry clean. I felt they could be worn as pants alone. They are great!

Great
Smith Axis Sunglasses
November 30, 2005
I have a pair of tortoise/brown lenses. These lenses block UV, but "brighten" the environment. The lenses are big, but not too big on my small face, so they seem to block more light.

GREAT!!
Cloudveil Prospector Jacket - Womens
October 31, 2005
I bought this jacket because I live in the desert, so it can get a little breezy at night. THIS IS PERFECT. Very lightweight and warm, but you won't get too hot. This jacket is great for breezy days as well as cool classrooms.

Pretty good!
Marmot Ember Sweater - Women's
October 31, 2005
I bought this fleece to be the bottom layer to the Marmot jacket I bought. The fleece is GREAT. Kept me warm enough by itself without feeling bulky. What bothered me is NOT the fleece, but the way Marmot designed the zip-in compatibility. The fleece will get tangled up, so it is difficult to put on the jacket with the Ember Sweater.
