These pants came through when hiking in 40 degree water in Utah's Zion Narrows. Water did seep in ever so slightly on the ankles, but overall I highly recommend these pants if you will be trekking through rivers or facing extremely foul weather.

This t-shirt is a nice everyday shirt with a cool logo covering the back. It's stylish and wears well. The arms and chest area fit very snug, but not uncomfortably, however, I would recommend going up a size or two from your normal tshirt size. Don't worry, the neck will still fit.

This is a very stylish t-shirt. The sleeves fit a little long and the neck area is naturally big and almost stretched out looking. The material is durable and holds well after washing without shrinkage. Order smaller than normal.

We have only small windows of cooler weather in Florida and this is an all around top for any day of the year. It's thin, soft, warm and dries quickly. It's great for outdoor activities on a brisk day, a morning layer while hiking and an all around shirt/jacket for everyday errands because it's not too bulky and isn't very long. Excellent all around "shacket."

This hat fits great and is lightweight and comfortable to wear. I never had a chance to test it in a downpour, but knew I was prepared. The only downside to mention is to test if the back brim will rub your pack. This can be uncomfortable and if you are trying to cut ounces, consider if you want this as your all around hat or consider a waterproof baseball-style hat instead. You can't go wrong with this Marmot hat, though.

This Capilene shirt was great for a camp shirt after a long day of hiking and when temps start to drop. It was the only layer I needed for cooler evenings/mornings when the temps were in the 50s. It dried extremely fast, fits great, and was comfortable to wear. The zippered front was an added bonus to regulate my body temp.
