Someone told me that more sunglasses are purchased in Seattle than anywhere else in the country. Is this because our eyes are used to the overcast light and can't handle the bright sun when it comes out? Or is this because the sun is so rarely bright that we've lost the last pair we bought by the time we see it? These glasses are perfect for me. I love to wear the yellow or orange lenses when I'm out running or biking or even driving on overcast days. It's easy to switch to the darker lenses during the sunny days. They are light and comfortable and durable. I highly recommend them.

I've used this hydration pack for several long runs. It took me a little while to get used to running with it. The weight of the water is hard to 'wear'. It's designed really well with wide straps so the nothing digs into you. There are some great straps that easily tighten the pack around my waist. I need to tighten them as I go through the water to keep it comfortable, but it sure beats carrying water bottles. The extra space for storing keys and my MP3 player are a nice bonus. I think the pack works even better for biking where I'm not bouncing around as much. I definitely recommend it.
