One Word...Indestructible
02-15-06 ![]() |
OK, I can sum this watch up, in one word ( long pause ). Indestructible! There I said it. Now go out and try it. I dare yah. This watch has survived all that I can put out, from long-boarding trips in the Moab, to bar fights in the SLC, to just working around the house. This watch is the best I have found in a long time. The glass is set in enough, that if you do smash it down or on to something that you don't have to worry about it. In short...Indestructible. OO-RAH! |

Works as promised.

Works as promised. It’s obviously not designed to secure your bikes from theft (although you could always get a separate chain and lock), but it's very easy to use and store. The frame is solid and the straps are plenty strong...In other words, there's no flex and my bikes stay in place when I'm going around corners. I sort of wish they would put flat-wound springs on the skewers to keep the nuts centered...It would make it a little easier to drop the forks into place. Otherwise, no complaints! |

| Crocs Off Road Clog - Men's Read other reviews of this product |
The "Hummer" of the Crocs.
08-17-06 ![]() |
I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable these are. I do everything in them, from helping my nephew with his swim lessons, to flooding my sister in-laws yard, not to mention the hiking, oh the hiking. With their slip-resistant and non-marking soles- there's no worries. Nothing can stop the "Off Road Clogs". I love the feel in these shoes, it's like you're walking on air, they're super-and I mean super-light weight. Another feature that I love is that they are anti-microbial and odor resistant, now you can't beat that with a ten foot trekking poll. If you do happen to step in something that you really shouldn't have, or they get really muddy, no worries! Just grab a hose, river or any body of water, rinse, and they're clean. Bottom line is these are the "hummer" of the Crocs. |

Great Knife.
08-17-06 ![]() |
This is a great knife, it has it all, it's sharp, it has a clip for you to keep it "Incognito" on your pants, and the locking and one hand opening are just superb. One thing that I was surprised about though, it's a little heavy, but I got over that seeing as the knife has so many great features. Bottom line. Great all around knife. |

| Kelty Yellowstone 4 Tent 4-Person 3-Season Read other reviews of this product |
Not just for humans.
08-17-06 ![]() |
My wife and my two dogs (kids) took the Yellowstone 4 out to the middle of Utah's West desert, where it's really dusty and our dogs get them self's extremely dirty. In our old tent there was almost no room for the dogs to sleep, with out you getting super dirty as well. But not with the Kelty Yellowstone 4 Tent 4-Person, there is plenty of room in there for both my wife, our two dogs and I, with out getting our sleeping bags super dirty from the dogs sleeping right next to us. It's like the dogs have their own room, instead of being cramped in a small tent, they are now able to sprawl out. Super Easy to "pitch" and has a ton of head room. If your interested in buying this tent, I'd recommend the foot print (SKU= KEL0291) So in short, great tent for you and your dogs, or I guess if you have kids this will also be a great tent. Maybe they should consider changing the name to "Yellowstone 4 Tent 2-Person 2 dogs" But just keep in mind, it's not just for humans, anymore. |

Buck up Cowboy.
08-17-06 ![]() |
If your thinking about getting a Kelty tent, this is a great companion to have. Fits snug to the tents "undercarriage", and is easy to install. Bottom line, just buck up and get one you'll be glad you did. |

| DAKINE Checkbook Wallet - Women's Read other reviews of this product |
Dakine wallet
07-24-06 ![]() |
This wallet has a place for everything, and zips up nicely to keep things safe and compact. I love that I have all my cards, checkbook and register, and even a pen, all in one place. The removable mirror and window-pocket for your ID are very handy-what more could you need? I got the blue because it was fun, but the material seems to attract dirt, so the black might have been a better choice. |

| Arc'teryx Switchback Shirt - Men's Read other reviews of this product |
All you need. It's Arc’teryx, do I need to say anything else?
08-17-06 ![]() |
Awesome piece to have as a layer on those colder days or stands solidly on its own in milder temps. Another great item from Arc’teryx. |

solid set of poles
08-17-06 ![]() |
Great lightweight pole. Only drawback was having difficulty being able to sufficiently tighten down the locking feature while wearing gloves. Other than that, they are a solid set of poles |

| Nixon The Rover Watch Read other reviews of this product |
another great watch form Nixon.
06-26-06 ![]() |
Great watch. The design of the band is very unique and it's tough as nails. I've smacked it pretty hard against table corners, doorknobs, sidewalk, etc. and it's barely shown a scratch. Very accurate too. I set it against the clock on my cell phone about a month ago and I don't think it's lost a second. |

Awesome shovel

Awesome shovel, and I love having the probe built into the handle making for one less thing to find a place for in the pack. |

these are for you
08-25-06 ![]() |
I LOVE these glasses! They are just the right size for looking cool, and the coverage is great. My favorite part is how well they fit, you hardly even know they're on. If you are going to spend your days playing in the sun, and want to look good doing it, these are for you. |

wouldn't stay put
08-25-06 ![]() |
These glasses looked totally hip and fun, but it was not meant to be. They even looked great on, but they wouldn't stay put. Great looking shades do not look great if they're sliding off your nose all day. |

With a nice thin liner, my feet were warm, cozy and blister free on my last outing which included two, 6 hour days in plastic boots on steep terrain. Recommend these to everyone. |

Room for rent.

Your own private storage unit. I stuffed my packed 5,000 cu. in. pack into it and still had tons of room for plastic boots and other gear. Very solid construction. |

Light weight and well worth the money.

Well worth the cost to protect your tent floor or to keep your stove off the snow. You won’t even feel the weight in your pack. |

Who says that pot is bad?

Excellent pot set. I love the capacity of the 4 liter pot to melt snow and not too heavy either. |

Every climber should own this piece of gear. You won’t need another belay or rappel device with this on your side. |

The Best You'll ever have.
06-26-06 ![]() |
This is definitely the best backpack I've ever had. Roomy enough for my laptop + 2 or 3 textbooks. It protects the laptop by keeping it suspended a few inches from the bottom in a big stretchy pocket. It also has all sorts of crazy pockets for different things. The padding on the back makes it very comfortable to wear. |

| Under Armour Loosegear Full T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's This product is no longer available |
Not that great.
03-12-07 ![]() |
I bought the Under Armour Coldgear Chase Mock (UND0006) I got the small, and was really happy with the fit of the shirt. Fit like a glove! So I thought that I'd get this one as well. So I got the small one and it fits like a baggy medium. I was not happy, not at all. So I returned it. Luckily for me these folks are wonderful at returns, very friendly and courteous. Bottom line is that this shirt doesn't fit tight like the other ones. |
