After being a bit hesitant about the price, I reflected back to my past experiences with Black Diamond, all positive, and decided to go for it.

First, I ordered a half size too small, but Backcountry, in their exceptional customer service, got me straightened out the next day with the right size. Then still a bit worried because of toe-bump, I called Black Diamond, and Adam gave me advice from his experience with the Push in the same size...

I haven't skied them yet, but my initial reaction is this: incredibly comfortable and well thought out. In my years skiing alpine and snowboarding on alpine boards with plastic boots, NEVER have a pair felt so good straight out of the box. After walking around in them for about an hour, my feet settled right in, and the responsive flex in the bellows really shone through. Riding them for the first time tomorrow, but I am confident I'll be impressed.

As a New Englander, I've got to be ready to commute in the dark and in the cold for a healthy portion of the year. When I first saw this light, I was amazed that the weight, including the battery, was less then 1 pound. It attaches to the bike (both light and battery) quickly and easily, and provides more than enough illumination for riding in near-pitch-black of unlit back roads.

Even on it's middle setting, this light provides enough illumination for riding, and the battery has consistently lasted me through 5 hours of commuting per week, being charged only on the weekends.

Very highly recommended!

I have a few pairs of these now, and they're replacing my Under Armour briefs, especially for running and yoga. They dry nearly instantly, hold up well, and come with Patagonia's guarantee and recycling program. The butt is just a tiny bit big, so there's sometimes a bit too much material in a pair of running tights, but not enough to cause chafing or even be noticeable once my focus goes to my run.

love the gore-tex, lightweight, solid shoe. a bit short...almost 3/4 of a size small.

A great shoe: lightweight, responsive, great traction. Run a tiny bit small.

Honestly, these guys do great tights. The tops are almost an afterthought.

These tights provide good support for the muscles and tendons; 5 miles goes down like 1 or 2. wonderful
