This comfy shirt is great on the trail and off. The Sports Science fabric is soft and comfy and wicks perspiration well. And yeah, now I can finally say with pride, that I too am a beater.

Decent Pack
The North Face Catalyst 60 Backpack - 3350-3950cu in
March 12, 2008
I recently used this pack while ski touring in the Tetons and it worked well. There was plenty of space for everything I needed (sleeping bag, shovel, probe, camera, puffy jacket, food, cooking supplies, camera, extra lens, skins, helmet, goggles and a few other odds and ends). I really liked the side and top access features. I must admit though, this wasn't the most comfortable pack I've worn and it took quite a bit of adjusting to find an ok fit. If you're going to spend the money, you might as well buy a pack that has aluminum stays and more personalized adjustments. Aside from that though, this pack served me quite well.

Awesome in the yurt
The North Face Nuptse Winter Bootie - Men's
March 12, 2008
I just tested these booties on a yurt trip in the Tetons and I absolutely loved them. The extra weight was quite negligible and they packed easily along side my sleeping bag inside my pack's sleeping bag compartment. The Nuptse Boots are very warm - even when standing in the snow. The lugged sole provides great traction and support -- all of my friends were jealous since their nearly new booties all have holes already. In regards to sizing, the Men's 11 fit my Men's 11.5 EEE foot perfectly -- so yes, they do run a little large. Still, I highly suggest these booties over all others. They are the best thing to put your feet into after a long day of ski touring.

Nice hat
The North Face Softshell Windproof Beanie
November 15, 2007
Got this beanie as a gift and I love it. It's very breathable, warm and light. The vents can get annoying if you don't wear this hat just the right way.

Nice Sandals!
KEEN Venice H2 Sandal - Men's
October 4, 2007
These are the best sandals I've ever owned. They provide the best ankle support I've ever experienced in a sandal. They make excellent boating sandals as they will not fall off if you wind up going for a swim (I know from experience) and the extra ankle support is great for when you need to get out of the boat to hike or scout. I highly recommend these.

Nice and warm
Grabber Toe Warmers - 6 Pair
September 27, 2007
Okay, I'm not the type to use chemical warmers, however, when a friend offered a pair of these to me on a particularly cold and nasty day, I caved and tried them out. What a pleasant surprise to find out that these things actually work. My toes stayed nice, warm and comfortable. If you need a little help keeping your piggies warm, definitely check these out!

This is a fast boat.
Perception Eclipse Series Kayak w/ Rudder
September 20, 2007
This boat is really fast in the water. It tracks quite nicely, although as someone else has mentioned, it does weathercock in the wind. The rudder really helps to compensate and can help to keep the boat straight. This certainly isn't the most stable kayak I've ever been in, however, it is very fast and it handles chop and waves quite well. If you have a little kayaking experience under your belt, this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

This is great!
The Travel Hammock Double Hammock
September 13, 2007
This hammock is now part of my standard camping kit. I love how this hammock's lightweight, packable design. It packs down to about the size of a large fuel cannister and adds hardly any weight to my pack. Once you've found 2 appropriately spaced trees, it's a snap to setup. The material feels very durable and I have a feeling that this hammock will continue to be a mainstay for years to come. I highly recommend this item.

Great Goggles

I love these pants!
The North Face Meridian Convertible Pant - Men's
September 6, 2007
When I first bought these pants, I was a bit skeptical. My fears were relieved as soon as I pull them out of the packaging. These pants provide a great fit where they're loose, but not too loose. These pants move great. Also, the fabric is super comfortable and I love the texture. The construction of these pants feels solid and I will soon be buying a 2nd pair of these to add to my gear closet.

A solid craft
Tributary Tomcat Tandem Inflatable Kayak
August 30, 2007
I ran this boat solo this past weekend on the Snake River's Alpine section at about 5500 cfs. It was a snap to remove the 2nd seat and center-mount the remaining one to a middle location in the kayak. Despite being a kayak built for 2, this boat still performed beautifully in the big wave trains and swirly waters. I was very impressed with how maneuverable it was. I'd definitely recommend this boat to any whitewater paddler(s) looking for some easy fun on the river.

Smith Fuse Regulator Series Goggles

These are the best goggles I've ever had. The optics are nice and they do not fog. These fit my medium large face nicely. The only thing I would like to improve would be to get a polarized lens. Still, I definitely recommend them.

I'm digging my shades!
Smith Reactor Max Interchangeable Sunglasses
July 19, 2007
I totally dig these shades. The optical clarity is awesome! Not only do they look good, they feel good too. The lenses snap into the frames easily and are held securely. The hard case provides great protection and stores all of your replacement lenses.

Great Pow Ski
Atomic Snoop Daddy Alpine Ski
July 5, 2007
These skis rock the pow like you wouldn't believe. I bought these skis for touring and pow days at Alta. Even on those light, dust on crust days, these provide excellent float, giving you that sweet weightless flying-like experience. Mine are mounted to the Naxo 21 AT Bindings. While the combo puts a lot of weight underneath your feet on the skin track, the downhill performance can't be matched. The only drawback to this setup is that on icy, east-coast conditions, I've gotten quite a bit of chatter. Still, I wouldn't trade these skis in for anything.
