Arc'teryx Alpha SV Bib - Women's    This product is no longer available
 
No Internal Gaitor   04-02-08   

These bibs do not have an internal gaitor! Seems kind of crazy to me. I've never had a pair of ski pants without and internal gaitor, seems like a must have feature for skiing... Also, I found that they do run true to size in length, I'm 5'4" and a small was too short for me in the torso.

Best tights you'll ever run in   01-23-07   

Buy these, run in them once, and you'll want to throw away all your spandex (or just use them for house cleaning!) These tights wrap your legs up like a perfect present - supportive yet not too tight, warm yet breathable. I bought myself 3 different kinds - the full length, the 3/4 and the shorts - which also work great as a base layer for skiing - nice and warm and supportive. These tights feel really good and help your muscles stay warm and strong during a run - they are truly amazing. I am hooked now! Can't go back to normal spandex... My friend turned me on to these tights - I bought a pair for my husband - he was a bit hesitant at first to run in these "fancy pants" as he likes to call them, but all it took was one run and he was hooked too.

CW-X Sport Support Bra - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Great for ski/hike/climb, not great for running   01-23-07   

I was surprised at how lightweight this bra is. I love it for backcountry skiing - since it's so lightweight my sweat dries way faster than a normal bra, which is super important being out in the snowy cold! I wore this running and did not think the support compared to my trusty old Brooks smash 'em bra. Too much bouncing. I am a HUGE fan of the CW-X running tights - and when I saw that they made a bra, I had pretty high expectations. The picture of the bra looks as if it has the same type of support bands as the tights do, but they are the not the same at all. So, I wouldn't recommend this bra for anything high impact, but it is great for skiing, hiking, and climbing.
