I was a bit hesitant about using a trunk rack. I had a roof rack with fork mounted trays for several years, but someone stole it! I bought this one since I had two friends coming into town for a gran fondo ride, and I needed to carry 3 bikes. The Super Joe 3 was secure and stable, and it was about 1/4 of the cost of buying a roof rack and three mounts. I had no worries about the rubber coated mounts scratching our bike frames either. And, no issues of the rack or the bikes scratching the car. The main down side is that you can't lock it to your car (I had core locks on my roof rack which didn't seem to stop anyone anyways), and you can't really lock your bikes to the rack. It also restricts rear visibility, and you can't get in the trunk with bikes loaded. However, given all that, I think it was an inexpensive and secure solution.

Bought a pair for the el nino season we've been having in california. My keen sandals are my favorites, and these slip-on boots are almost as comfortable. I've been wearing them for 2 mile walks with my dog in the rain, and have had no pain or discomfort. Great traction on wet surfaces too. My only complaint is that after this year, Cali will probably have another 5 year drought and these boots will just sit in my closet!

I love this jacket. It's very warm, yet lightweight. I wore it under a shell the other day while skiing. It's thin enough to wear as a layer under a shell, and doesn't restrict movement. It's very breathable, which is great for most purposes. At the same time, it is not windproof at all, so be wary if it's a windy day.

I wore the jacket yesterday in moderate rain fall and stayed completely dry. The jacket has a soft lining that also makes it fairly warm in comparison to just a shell. I haven't had a chance to go skiing yet, but I am pretty sure that it could withstand wind, snow, and cold just as well. Really happy with this purchase.

I use this for running in colder weather and it works great. It's warm and relatively wind resistant. I've used it for biking as well. The only complaints would be that the 1/4 zip could be longer for better ventilation, and it could use a rear zip pocket (like bike jerseys) to make it more versatile.

I really like this baselayer. It is well fitted, and breathes well. I recently used it on an uphill hike and it kept me warm without getting overheated. I think it will work great as a baselayer for skiing.
