Rating for this product: 5 January 31, 2012

love these, I take an 8.5US, usually I'm a 9US
Your can really feel the wings guide your foot to land correctly and the fit is great. Lacing system is quick and easy. I have flat feet and these are more than supportive enough.

pull the loop at the top for the right tightness and slide the locking piece down to lock it in. Squeeze and pull the lock up to loosen.

great grip and toe flex

Salomon XR Crossmax Guidance Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Salomon XR Crossmax Guidance Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 January 31, 2012

Have had a few pairs of salomon XA pros, these are just as good but seem lighter.
The grip is great on hard rocky trails, the front flexes just right and the heel is supportive and fits nicely on my skinny heels!
The colours of the grey denium ones were a little different to the picture- the pink is more a dark purple, still love the colour scheme though.
the only thing is the lace system, though I like this, in this model it is difficult to get them tight at the front without being too tight at the top. Also the little pocket in the tongue for tucking the laces in is tricky cause the tongue is short, takes some fiddling.
I usually take a 9us but need a 8.5us in salomons.

Super comfy, great leg bands

Louis Garneau Mondo Bib Short - Women's

Louis Garneau Mondo Bib Short - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 30, 2012

I am 5'7" and 73kg and bought the large size, great fit.

Have done a few 30-50km rides in these and i'm pretty happy with them over all.
The Chamois has good padding, not too bulky, but also ventilated. I haven't had any problems with bunching or saddle sores developing after back to back rides.(always washed in between)
The leg bands are really comfortable. I have big thighs and often find the bottom band of the legs in shorts are uncomfortable once i start riding and my quads are working alot. These leg bands stop this happening and still grip really well and stop them riding up.
The bib part is really well made, sits just right so as not to obstruct breathing, but not too hot (even in humid Sydney summer! 80% at the moment)
There are some nice ventilation details right near your hip bones too. Also no problems with the lycra going see-through when stretched which I have found on a few different brand new shorts in the past.

Only gripe is I would love to see a variety of colour choices. (the absence of pink is a plus though)
Wish I had bought a few pairs, these are the best i've owned yet.

Very soft support...too soft?

The North Face Single-Track Trail Running Shoe - Women's

The North Face Single-Track Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 2 June 12, 2011

I was really looking forward to these shoes, i had heard great things about them and they looked the part.
As soon as i put them on they felt super comfortable, but too soft. It was like wearing a pair of squishy slippers with no support.
The sole compressed alot and were really really flexy
The upper moved around alot when i walked, i felt like my foot was going to roll off the sole bed.
They were shorter than expected, I am a US9 and my toes were hitting the end of the shoe. I have worn 9s in most brands without a problem.

Tried them in a variety of places and trails and just didn't feel the support I have had from shoes like salomon XA pros, Oboz trail shoes.

The good points...
great grip for variety of terrain, nice look, looks like quality construction.

Overall: Would not recommend. Structure of the shoe just didn't hold my foot in place.
A shame, i was hoping these might be my rival for salomons.

light weight and warm

Marmot Snazette Softshell Jacket - Women's

Marmot Snazette Softshell Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 April 18, 2011

Really nice fabric on this soft-shell
excellent feature pockets and pit-zips (something that should be on all soft-shells designed for high intensity activity)
a little loose around the shoulders and chest for me, but not too skinny on waist and hips (usually a problem for me to level these things out)
great length, covers over my butt
wrist Velcro straps are a nice touch and collar isn't too high and doesn't scratch thanks to zip cover

sits under my outer shell nicely
Have used mountain biking in late autumn in alpine Australia and breathable fabric is fantastic. good wind stopping ability too.
highly recommended. double check the sizing chart in case you have narrow shoulders.

Why do the men get all the great looking gear?

have been struggling to find a nice looking pair of baggy womens shorts and tried these. Not as baggy as expected but a good fit.
I usually have trouble finding wide enough legs in bike shorts (a bike rider with big thighs muscles! who'd have thought) but these have been good.
good stretch in the fabric all over, nice fitting chamois, quality stitching.

I'm happy so far

Rating for this product: 4 November 15, 2009

these are super comfy!
i bought a pair of the carets last year and had to get a 10 to get it wide enough for my foot, so did the same with these and they were probably a little too wide. I think this model is much more true to size.
look good, seem pretty tuff so far

great fit for narrow heel

Oboz Ignition Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Oboz Ignition Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 January 7, 2009

i've only just got mine, and put them straight on for a short walk, the fit is great, i have pretty narrow heels but the front of my foot is wide-ish, and these are a great fit. no problems with heel slipping.
there tough to get on but the 'sock' design thing is going to be great for canyon trips and the grip looks super tough.
i'm tempted to order a few more pairs while they still have them in my size!
durability test is yet to be, so only 4 stars so far...
