Stunning
prAna Sarong Skirt - Women's
June 25, 2008
This skirt is beautiful. I bought it for a friend and she looks gorgeous. it can easily be dressed up with jewelry and fancy sandals for an evening activity or toned down with flip flops for a trip to the lake on the boat. It is very flattering and we saw both colors in person - the black/brown looks a little more classic while the blue colors are more fun.

Really Long Sleeves
Backcountry.com Wool Hooded Jacket - Women's
March 5, 2008
The quality of this jacket is top notch - I love color, the wool, and the embroidered logo. It is also stitched very well and the inside fabric is extremely warm and cozy. The sleeves are too long for me in a Medium and I am 5'4". Also, the edges of the hood are up close to my ears when it is unzipped - I think this is by design so this may be perfect for most people but it feels a bit claustrophobic to me. Having said that, this jacket is perfect for wearing in brisk, cold weather and allows you to rock the Goat in perfect style. It looks fantastic!

must-have winter gear for toddler girls
Obermeyer Gum Drop Suite
December 21, 2007
This toddler winter gear could not be more adorable. The attention to detail by Obermeyer, the fun extra features, and the ability to "expand as you grow" make this a must-have for any toddler. The picture on the site just does not do it justice - there is a highly-detailed embroidery of some butterflies on the hinny and a little compass on the front (which I know she won't use) but heck, who cares as long as she is warm and snuggly. We drop her in, zip her up, and off she goes regardless of the amount of snow dumping - in Park City (Utah) during December, she has played in the snow, gone sledding, visited the zoo, and ridden on a horse-drawn sleigh ride all while sporting this great piece of gear. The best part? I have had ZERO complaints from her about being cold. In case it's not obvious, I highly recommend it.

Durable and Warm
Carhartt Sandstone Active Jacket - Boys'
December 21, 2007
This is just a tiny version of the reputable men's jacket. The tight seams and durable fabric keeps him warm and toasty. The dark color (Moss) doesn't show his antics in the mud or dirt. It's a great piece of gear for any little man.

Warm and Pretty
Columbia Dear Trail Vest - Infant Girls'
December 21, 2007
I got this vest for my toddler and it is so cute. The fabric quality is top notch and the color of pink is just right - not too light to catch every piece of dirt but still dainty at the same time. I can slip it over anything to add that little extra layer of warmth to keep her comfortable.

Hubby Loves It
Therm-a-Rest Trail Comfort Sleeping Pad
December 14, 2007
I bought this pad as a birthday present for my husband who is about 5'8" (or less, ahem). He raves about how comfortable it is and laughs because he probably would have been fine with the women's length pad. If you're not too terribly concerned about space or weight, this is definitely a great purchase. Easy to inflate - just right.

Sizing Issues
KUHL Cece T-Shirt Short-Sleeve - Women's
August 3, 2007
This is the second of two different Kuhl shirts that I have had to return. The first, a Large (don't remember the style) , was extremely big and the seams hung off my shoulders; the second (the Cece), was a Medium and tighter than tight. I'm well endowed so that could be the culprit - so girls, keep that in mind depending on what you are trying to achieve.

Mountain Hardwear Mandala T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Women's
August 3, 2007
I returned this shirt only because the design didn't appeal to me as much in person as it did on the website. The technical fabric was very nice and the complementary colors were pretty. I recommend it for anyone who knows without a doubt that they would enjoy the pattern.

off a bit
Oakley Ship Mate Sweater - Women's
May 30, 2007
This sweater was a pretty color but the sleeves came up short and the hoody was a bit strange (lots of buttons and it didn't lay just right). I think it would look better on a very slender and tall person.

It's in the Details
Volcom Radiant Stone Slim Fit Zip Hooded Fleece Jacket - Women's
August 6, 2006
I was so pleased when I got this hoody. Volcom's attention to detail is evident with the accent studs of which some "glitter" with hot pink thread which really stands out against the deep purple background. The logo is definitely eye catching and the jacket looks great with a white tee-shirt underneath. The slim fit is very flattering and the "kiss don't kill" patch gets just the right amount of attention.

This Jacket Rocks
The North Face Redpoint Optimus Jacket - Women's
December 3, 2005
Being from Texas, I needed a new jacket to keep me warm in my winter Utah home. This TNF masterpiece is lightweight yet keeps me warm and toasty with zero complaints. Even without a shell, it has proven to be an excellent purchase for daily wear during the work week with zero complaints. Amazingly thin, nice lines, female cut—not too long, not too short—it’s just right. The Redpoint Optimus has the hood and the regular Optimus doesn't, the difference is having the having the option to keep your head protected from the elements or styling with a classic collar. Your choice.

Low Key
Marmot Tamarack Jacket - Women's
December 3, 2005
So, the Oceana color is absolutely beautiful. The online description holds true to form as its subtle design screams understated. Requires multiple layers to stay warm in driving snow. The hand pockets are somewhat awkward to negotiate as they are higher up and closer in than you would anticipate when shoving your hands in for warmth. Double zippers, nice fabric, inside extras and Marmot reputation.

The North Face Ultra Gore-Tex XCR Trail Running Shoe - Women's
December 3, 2005

Toasty & Trim
The North Face El Cap Shirt - Women's
December 3, 2005
Wow! This top is amazing. TNF does it again by designing an exceptional piece of clothing cut especially for the ladies. The micro-fiber fabric is stitched in a way that definitely flatters the female torso while keeping you toasty and trim. What more could you ask for?

Big on Coolness - Small on Size
Oakley Icon Backpack Small - 510cu in
December 3, 2005
Super cute with true-to-form Oakley style. Buyers should know that 510cu is very small. This would be perfect as a youth or ladies day bag in lieu of a purse or standard-sized backpack. Not large enough to hold books or shoes; more fitted for small toiletry items (chapstick / medication), accessories (shades / gloves), electronic items (cell phone / iPod), and handy essentials (pen / wallet / keys). Could also comfortably carry an over-sized Chihuahua.

Not for Skiing
Black Diamond Verglas Plus Glove - Women's
December 3, 2005
After purchasing these gloves, I read the Black Diamond product guide that it arrived with in detail. I was planning on using these for skiing but realized they were only water-resistant, not waterproof, and seem better suited for other outdoor recreational activities. I'm still excited about having them in my possession as they are lightweight and clean cut. A very nice addition to my glove collection at a great price.

Oakley Okay Pant - Women's

Okay, so I purchased the white/cement version of this wickedly cool Oakley pant. Incredible cut obviously designed especially with chicks in mind, it’s very flattering and super comfortable. Who needs pink anyway? I am women, hear me roar.

Matrix Males
Oakley Why 8.0 Polarized Sunglasses
December 3, 2005
Being of the female persuasion, I found that these sunglasses seem to be designed with men in mind. They are a bit large and definitely do not compliment the female face. Nice hinges, rimless lenses, beautiful metal frame. If you're a dude (and are cool enough), I would highly recommend adding this model to your sunshade collection, especially if you are a Matrix fan.
