I've loved my Rime pullover for pretty much every activity I have used it for. For skiing it blocks out the wind very well, and insulated a little bit. It dumps heat very well when your sweating a lot, and it it very water resistant. It dries very quick and is pretty stylin too. I've been using it for everything from hiking, biking, to skiing and casual wear. It layers well too. I feel the jacket could use a hem cord on the waist, but otherwise is very nice.

I got this kit as a gift after I completed my EMT-B course. For being just under 4 lbs you get a lot of gear for pretty much anything you could run into in the backcountry. It almost is too much unless you were a guide in a group. I use mine for backpacking in large groups and then in my car for emergencies. You can swap out stuff in the bag to lighten it up for smaller groups. Could be more handy with a stethoscope and BP cuff, as well as airways.

This shell rocks. It has a high collar with lots of fleece to keep your face warm. Bomb proof construction (I've already ran into several trees skiing with not even a scratch). The jacket is also really light for how waterproof it is, wire brim is nice too. The side pockets also act as vents and the pit zips work well. Hard to really find anything negative about this jacket... it even goes way over my helmet!

Been wearing these pants for about a month now and I am very impressed. The fit is very nice, baggy, but not so baggy that you can't walk around. Super burly construction with fully tapped seams, and the Gore-Tex keeps you dry (still have yet to get wet in them). I really enjoy the large pockets which also keep your things dry and the side vents help a lot to cool you down. Only downsides to the pants are that the side vents don't function as easily as I would have liked them too, and they need to put scuff guards on the ankles so skiers can use them!

Not only does this vest make me look like even more of a badass mountain man tough guy, but it does a marvelous job keeping the heat in when used in conjucting with some long underwear, down jackets, rain coats, and their ilk. Awesome!

Used these with some nice wool backpacking socks and some brand new boots for over 50 miles with nary a blister. Feel great, breathe well, and all that other lovey-dovey fluff.

Does their job, and does it well. Keeps the debris out as good or better than other gators out there, especially for the price.

Cheap, light, and gets the job done. 50+ miles of scruboak will understandably rip this little guy up a bit, but that won't detract from the comfort to weight ratio this thing brings to the backcountry. My only nitpick is that it could stand to be a bit smaller when rolled up.

My feet didn't get any blisters, and after 5 days of wearing these socks they didn't even smell that bad. Sweet!
