I bought this Emergency Blanket to carry with me when canyonerring. I've almost had to spend the night in 3 different canyons now, but luckily was able to get out and sleep in my nice warm sleeping bag. This is so light that I can just leave it in my pack and forget about it till the time that I will need to spend the night in a canyon or wait out a flash flood (hopefully that won't happen). It is more durable than a space blanket, so if it tears it won't keep tearing! :)

I have used the Dihedral Backpack for a few years now while canyoneering. It is a great pack and the tough cordura helps the pack slide over rocks and on the walls in tight slot canyons and helps protect the backpack. My dihedral is getting worn out and I had always wished I could have a little more room. The Direttissima is the same pack but a little bigger! I'm sad they updated the newer model of the Direttissima because it doesn't look like it has the same durable cordura on the back. I hope this one lasts me a long time because it is a great pack! :)

I mainly use these for rappelling when I'm Canyoneering and have been using these for 2 years now! I've tried various 8's, BD ATC XP, and the Sterling ATS over the years and I keep coming back to the VC Pro 2 because of it's so inexpensive compared to other Rappel/belay devices and has the curved side to start out with little friction and easily move the rope over to the teeth side to add more friction when you need it. Also It's an ATC so it doesn't twist the rope like an 8 does. I have many of these to loan out to friends I bring canyoneering.

I just bought my second pair of these socks. I wanted to get some Vibram Five Finger Shoes so I've been wearing these socks to help get my toes used to being away from each other. You generally don't where socks with the Vibram shoes but you can if you get a little bit bigger shoes. There are no seams so there is nothing to irritate your toes. They do take some getting used to if your not used to having something between your toes, but they are definitely worth getting! I'm planning on getting a few more pairs soon!

I got these for a Uinta backpacking trip that is coming up and all the reviews said to size up because they run a little small. This was good to do anyway since I'm planning on wearing shorts or pants underneath when it's raining. The full zip makes it easy to to put on or take off with my muddy backpacking boots still on. Bring it on rain! I'm ready!

I LOVE Stoic products! Especially the jackets, so when I was looking for a lightweight down jacket for a backpacking trip I have coming up, this jacket fit the budget and the needs of being lightweight, compressible, and warm! Thanks Stoic! Keep up the great gear! You’re the best!

I've had a few Neoprene gloves in my day and these where not built very well on the fingers. I don't know why some companies like to put the hard uncomfortable seam glue on the inside of the fingers so it rubs against your skin. That is what these do. They aren't the most uncomfortable gloves I have tried on and I wasn't so uncomfortable that I wouldn't consider using them if I had nothing else, but NRS and Excel make their gloves without the seams on the inside of the glove so I will stick with those 2 brands. Sorry Kokatat. I love your other products, but you need to work on your gloves.

Oh! Almost forgot... The black dots on the palm are plastic, not rubber so they aren't as grippy as you would think.

I scratched the crap out of my old lenses taking them through slot canyons and have replaced them with these! they are easy to snap in and out of the frame and save you some money from having to buy new frames!

I got my first pair of Flak Jackets as a door prize gift and loved them! They fit my face well and look good! I bought another pair a year later because my lenses got all scratched up from taking them through canyons. I would use the old pair for canyoneering and the new pair for driving and day use. They were so stylish that 2 of my friends also bought them! I will definitely buy another pair when the time comes to replace the ones I have now!

This was my first rope I ever bought and I bought it a few years ago. It is low priced and works great! I haven't had any complaints about the rope. It is well made and works how it should! This is a great rope to buy if you don't want to blow a bunch of money on a quality rope! I will buy another one when the time comes to replace my current one.

I got to use one of these last weekend when the rope got stuck in a slot canyon. I used one of these and a tiblock to ascent up 100' of rope to retrieve it. I own the BD Ascenders which I LOVE, but I also really liked this ascender too! It seams a little lighter than the BD version, and is easier to open to put on and take off the rope than the BD version because there is no "Z pattern" you have to follow. It doesn't seem as smooth to open and close though, but there was no slipping and it worked great! The Petzl and Black Diamond Acsenders are both great ascenders and are the same price, but I would probably go with the Petzle because it is about 2oz lighter per ascender than the BD ones.

I love the simplicity of this tent! 2 main aluminum poles and 1 small pole, freestanding. Easy to set up up and take down, simple rain fly. You can't go wrong with this tent!

I love my Goat shirts and wear them all the time. In fact, I'm wearing the green one right now as I'm typing this! YES! It's comfortable, soft and looks great!

I love my Sanuk Sandals! The foot bed is super comfortable and I can wear them all day! I love them so much that I bought multiple pairs!

I've had these for a few years now and still wear them with other shoes. They are comfortable and look great! I'm a huge Keen fan and will get another pair of these when they wear out.

I love the way these look and feel! They are super comfortable and stay on my feet very well! They are not the best to play in water with tiny rock moving around because they will get between your foot and sandals and are hard to get out, but if you are looking for protection and durability, these are perfect!

This is a nice shell that reminds me of the Stoic eVent Jacket, but better (in some ways). The jacket is super waterproof and lightweight! It only has the 1 pocket (which I don't like just 1) and colors are kind of dull for my liking, but setting those little things aside, it is a sweet, portable jacket!

I own the Backcountry.com Rime Pullover and love it! I use it when camping and canyoneering. It is getting a little worn out so I got the Microlith Pullover hoping it was the same thing. It is very similar but is missing the soft layer of Micro fleece on the inside. It's still a great jacket but I really like Micro Fleece in the Rime and many color options the Rime had to offer. The Microlith also has a bungee system around the waist which I don't think is necessary (I never use them on any jacket).

I own multiple pairs of these and I mainly use them canyoneering, climbing, under my board shorts when Kiteboarding and swimming, and pretty much anything outdoors! They wick away sweat, don't stink and are super comfortable!

This is a super simple hand strengthening ring that really does work! All you do is squeeze it and work out those climbing hands/fingers/forearms. There's not much else to say about this.

This is a handy knife to have hanging off of your harness on a carabiner and is super sharp! My only complaint is that it doesn't have a locking blade, but that is just my personal preference. Great climbing knife non the less!

This is a good tool that does what it's designed to do, but the edges are pretty squared so it hurts to hit it with your palm and it is lacking a built in carabiner/leash. This is a great minimalist/cheap nut tool but there are better ones out there. I prefer the Wild Country Pro-Key Nut Tool.

I love my Metolius Belay Gloves and I own a few pairs! They are soft and feel great on your hands and keep the rope from burning you! The dual layer of leather on the palms are super durable and will last a long time! I use these for belaying, rappelling, and canyoneering. When they get wet they will dry and be a little hard, stiff, and shrink a little but just stick you hand in there, make a fist, and stretch it back out. These will start to wear on the fingers first but they last a lot longer than the cheap gloves you get at the hardware store!

This does what is is supposed to do. Lubes up the pivoting/rotating joints of your cams and biners to help your gear last longer and operate easier!

This is the first gear sling I have owned and I love it! The different loops keep my rack organized and the trap is adjustable so you are sure to have a comfortable fit with your gear in reach.

These are great for climbing but not so great for rappelling just because the rope will burn your fingers on the way down if your going fast enough. perfect for crack climbing and belaying! The 2 layers of leather on the palm are super durable and will last a long time!

This is the best nut tool I have ever used! It has a wide but to hit your palm against that doesn't hurt your hand and the stretchy leash is super nice so you don't accidentally drop your tool! This is a must have on any rack!

Eventually you will need to get some new lines for your kite when they stretch, break, or get knotted and messed up. They are a piece of cake to install!

I just bought a 13.5 the other day to use as my low wind kite. I'm 5'5" and weigh 110lbs. I'm still relatively new to kiting but this has got to be the best kite I've flown so far! It only has 4 struts so it is lightweight and just floats in the air where my Naish Charger would have dropped out of the sky in the 8 mph winds. It is very predictable and responsive. I'm very happy with this kite and will buy another!

This is my first waist harness and I love it! It is a little on the heavy side but it is easy to adjust and feels good. My only complaint is that it bruises my hips probably because I'm short (5'5") and this is made for the average size man. I've tried on the Dakine Renegade harness and I think this is easier to put on, take off, and adjust.

This is a great little device that tells you the wind speed, temperature, time, etc... It is very useful when you are the first one at the kite spot and need to know what size kite to ride. It is easy to use and comes with a lanyard so you don't lose it.

I got one of these and was a little iffy about the "ziplock" type closure so I did some testing. I put a tissue into the bag and dunked it in the sink. Tissue did not get wet. Took it to the bottom of a 5' swimming pool, pushed it together and played with it and it did not get wet. Took a smart phone through the Subway slot canyon in Zion NP (very wet canyon) and IT DID NOT GET WET!!! The Small is perfect for your smartphone and is touch sensitive so you can use your touchscreen phone through the bag! I wouldn't recommend using these for your cameras as I have tried other bags for that in the past and they all suck. Just get a waterproof camera. You can find them relatively cheap and they work great! Get one of these for your smart phones to protect them from water and sand! Easy too open, easy too close.

I love this GPS so much that I keep buying the same one to replace the one that got ran over by a car, and the one that got stolen out of my car. I love the color display and it's gets a signal quickly. It does loose the signal in slot canyons and will beep every once in a while to let you know that there is no signal, but who needs a signal in a slot canyon? Water proof up to 3 feet is a must in wet canyons, but be careful... IT DOES NOT FLOAT! Don't forget to buy a holster for it!

There is a reason this is sooooo cheap. It's not very anatomically correct (not built well. The armpits are up to high so it cuts off the circulation to your arms, the wrists are super tight and the ankles are super loose. I immediately retured this wetsuit and will stay away from the 2010 Cyclone series. I might try the 2011 because Hyper Flex did some updating. I didn't find it irritating like sandpaper like the other review has. My main beef was the tightness.

I bought this to use on my Kiteboard and I was amazed at how well it stays on the board! The thing suctions onto the flat smooth surface of the board and then you flip the switch up and it locks it on there! I had a leash on it just in case and I will continue to put the leash on it. This will definitely stay on your board, car, window, etc...

I am super picky about my pants and that combined with my size (20x30) makes it extremely difficult to find pants I like and that fit right. These pants are perfect! I love the shape of these pockets so you hand can slide in at and angle instead of having to move your entire arm up and then dive your hand straight down into the pocket like on most other pants. I also MUST HAVE the side pockets on the leg! that is where I keep my phone, pen, and knife. The great thing about these pants is is has the side pockets on both sides of the pants! The only thing that could make these pants better is if Carhartt made a blue denim looking color!

I have a very hard time finding beanies that fit my tiny head right. Men's is usually just too big, Kid's is usually to small, and Women's usually look to girly. This one fits just right! It looks good, feels good and is a great spring/summer beanie. I wouldn't wear this in the winter when it is cold out. If you have a small dome like me, you will love this beanie!

I have had these for about 4 years and they fit great and look awesome! They are perfect for small faces like mine! The lens is a tiny bit difficult to swap out. It is easier and harder than some other goggles to put a lens in. I just keep the clear lens in for night riding and use my Oakley's during the day. I upgraded to the Oakley's for color reasons, but i still love these goggles!

I got a pair of these for free on the opening day at the Canyons Mountain Resort in Park City Utah in December 2010. They are nice goggles and fit well. There is no nose pressure which is super nice, but it seemed that the nose area is a little higher than other goggles so I could constantly see the nose padding while boarding. I usually wear Women's goggles because I have a small face so my problem might have been that these Splice goggles were to big for me so I had to wear them higher on my head. I gave them to my dad because they were free and he loves them! My brother also has a pair and he has no complaints with them.

This beanie is soft and looks good! it is a longer beanie that you wear floppy at the top and some sick colors to choose from. Enjoy looking steezy!

I have not been able to wear gloves at all until I tried these ones! My hands don't produce heat very well so my fingers would get cold very quickly in other gloves. These are made of leather so the block the wind very well, and the 200g Thinsulate and Hipora insert help keep the heat in! I'm finally able to give up the thick mittens and wear gloves! These are not good for the warmer days sessioning in the park as your hands will sweat like crazy. This comes with some Nikwax Leather Proof that you will need to apply before you use them on the snow and you will need to re-apply every month or so depending on how often your out shredding.

I've owned a lot of neck gaiters through the years and a lot of them are hard to breath through. This one is on the easier to breath through side but can still be a little difficult if pressed right up to your mouth or breathing hard. It is windproof and will get wet from your mouth breathing on it, but it is super warm, soft, and I like the v-shape and the colors!

This is a soft and warm shirt for your outdoor adventures or wearing around town or at home! It is stylish, smells good, and I love the 4-way stretch! I usually wear it under my jacket while snowboarding.

This jacket is a soft shell jacket with the power of Gore-Tex! Think of a soft, quiet, waterproof material. It is just a shell with a micro fleece type lining to add a little softness to the inside. It has a powder skirt which I think all jackets should come with and the pit zips to dump heat. Don't forget to clean and re-waterproof it with Nikwax!

I racked my 1999 Nissan Sentra and the rack looks very good on my little green car! I used the 253 Fit Kit like the Thule Fit Guide said and it fit perfect! Make sure you use the Thule Fit Guide to get the right fit kit for your car or it just won't fit.

This has got to be the lightest shirt I have ever touched! It is super thin and feels great against the skin! There is a problem with it being so light and thin is that it wrinkles easily when wearing (if it is to loose it looks wavey), so make sure you get the size right so it is close fitting. I usually wear a small, but I got to try on a Medium.

I racked my 1999 Nissan Sentra and the rack looks very good on my little green car! I also bought a Kayak rack to go with it and some of these straps came with the kayak rack. I actually keep these traps in my trunk and use them to tie down stuff on my roof rack such as wood, backpacks that don't fit in my tiny car, etc... These are very useful and can be used without a rack on your car too. simply open your doors, put the strap over your roof and through the car, cinch it tight, and close the doors.

I racked my 1999 Nissan Sentra and the rack looks very good on my little green car! I went for a few weeks without the fairing because it is a little expensive and my rack would make 2 different pitches of whistles at the same time and drove me nuts! I bought the fairing and the rack looks even better and the whistling noises are gone! It also gives me a place to put some sweet stickers! Check Thule's fit guide to find the right size fairing for your vehicle.

I racked my 1999 Nissan Sentra and the rack looks very good on my little green car! I have a bunch of different racks and I keep buying more and I have all of my locks on 1 key so I don't have to worry about loosing keys. I would suggest buying the set of 10 locks because you will eventually buy more rack stuff and will need to buy more locks like I ended up doing. You will want 4 locks for the Fit Kit/Towers, and then more for your cargo box, ski rack, bike rack, kayak rack, etc... You can special order more lock cores that fit your key directly from Thule, but it will cost you a little bit more $.

I racked my 1999 Nissan Sentra and the rack looks very good on my little green car! My car is really small so I can't fit my snowboard in it so I got this rack and I love it! It is easy to open the rack to put your 4 snowboards on or off the rack and they lock so nobody steals your gear when loft on your car! The one downside I've noticed is that it does create wind drag. My car is a 4 banger so it's not very powerful and I can feel the drag that this rack creates so be sure to take them off your car if your not going to use them for a week or more. Don't let that 1 negative thing deter you from buying this rack as any mount you put on your car will create drag.
