ALPS Mountaineering Camp Table

June 16, 2009

We planned on a camping trip- but I'm not a big fan of all day rains. So we helped our daughter with a little project and this table came in very handy! It easily held quite a bit of weight, assembled quick, cleaned in a snap. Now I really can't wait to take it camping.

If you don't have a down jacket get one. Now. I can not believe how light this coat feels when you put it on and how warm it is.I ordered the zinc color and I really like it. Looks great when paired up with the Stoic pink bombshell. I ordered a small and it fit just a little on the big side, better too big than too Small! I will use this jacket all year- it's so light it will be my backpacking jacket for sure!

This coat is the bomb!

Stoic Bombshell Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 April 15, 2011

ok- I have to admit I have a little problem. I can't stop buying jackets. This one is definately my current favorite! I paired it up with the Isis down sweater and was toasty on the -15 degree days in Crested Butte! By itself, very comfortable on the bluebird spring days. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the thumb holes do not line up comfortably. The VERY nice folks at SAC sent me a second one, but the same issue. (Maybe my thumbs are in the wrong place??) Other than that this coat is the bomb! Stands up well to my abuse: trees, rocks, etc. I am 5'4" and 120 lbs. the small fits just how I like- not to snug, long arms, a very nice fit. The pink is such a fun color.

This was a Christmas present for my husband two years ago. Both the shirt AND my husband still looks great! it washes well, it's comfortable, and it is a very handy shirt to take on all our outdoor adventures. Hubby is 5'10" 190 lbs. the large fits good. He wears it a base layer.

This was a Christmas gift for my back-country, telemark skiing son. He skis hard and does not pay attention to his clothes. I do, however. They still look good and have held up very well for two seasons of hard skiing.

CW-X Expert Tight - Women's

December 3, 2009

I believe they will. I am 5'4" and got the small. The come up to my natural waist and have a draw string to keep them there. These are not "stylish" low rise tights. They are great running tights that supply extra support to the knees. I found it hard to believe that clothing could add extra bounce to my step, but I'll be darned if these tights didn't do just that! I just finished my second ski season using these as my base layer ans I am very happy to report that A.) They have held up perfectly and B.) No injuries!

Very Useful Shirt

ExOfficio Dryflylite Button-Up Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 May 18, 2009

This shirt is very light on the skin. After a day of fishing - and actually catching!- I wasn't done in the water, but I did not want to be in the sun anymore. I put this on uder my vest a little afraid if it would be comfortable. Forgot about that concern after the first cast. I'm 5'4" 125 and the small fits great. I like that it doesn't have shirt tails cuz it looks great tucked in or out. Nice added feature- the two zipper pockets!

you want these socks!

Teko Merino Light Low Sock - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 11, 2009

I run 3 or more miles a day. Previous to owning Teko, I ran in Under Armour. I would have to change socks after my run. Not any more! The dry quickly and are still comfy. The additional height at the rear of the ankle is a really great feature. These will be the socks I use on my backpacking/hikes this summer.

I got this for my husband for a base layer for skiing and he loves it. He is 5'11" and about 185, the medium fits perfect. He wears it from early fall until spring for anything outside. The only garment he likes better is anything merino.

Great shoe --Better price

Atlas E9 Series Elektra Snowshoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 8, 2009

I have been on these shoes for two years. I average 2-3 miles a day, 5 days a week (when there is snow. I have a black lab and he loves to romp in the snow). These shoes are very easy to put on. They are not too long and are great in dense woods or in open fields with deep snow. I have not had a backpack on when I use them. I think for longer overnight hikes, a longer pair would be more suitable. This price is really good!!

Scarpa T1 Lady Telemark Ski Boot - Women's

Scarpa T1 Lady Telemark Ski Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 6, 2009

When I took up telly skiing, my husband could not figure it out. I explained that tlley to alpine was like fly fishing to spin casting . He then bought me these boots for Christmas. He so gets it now. When I wear these, I adjust them after my first run- tighten htem up a bit. Then they are good to go for the rest of the day. Even apres ski or tail gating after rippin' it up, I do not need to adjust or loosen. Definately go through the steps to have them fitted properly, it takes about 40 minutes, but worth it. Euro sizing is very true, do dont need to go up a size. One more suggestion: one pair of light merino socks is all you need.
