What can I say, a gate without a bail for a hook on the frame.... Brilliant, sometimes the seconds spent unhooking the extra hook aren't what I would call fun, enjoyable seconds

This is a superb ski pant. It works well in regular temps with a light capilene layer beneath, but the adjustable waist that stays up on a nice day (not recommended for dude riding) can also accommodate my superwarm fleece bibs underneath when the temps get bitter. I ordered the med size at a waist of 33 to 32 depending on brands and adding fleece was fine, and still had good mobility. and if you get too hot, the side vents blow the steam out fast. The only caution I might add without dinging a star rating is be careful putting them on in a rush, the hook on the gaiter will catch your toenails. Otherwise, buy them and go to fun cold places in them with confidence.

sweet layer, dries quick even under a shell, and still good support when I go "ultralight with the coconuts"

really nice mitt, fits small, so order one size larger, but for the light weight, it is really warm. something like this is a definite must have in your pack when it gets cold, or your other gloves get wet. takes up virtually no space, and weighs next to nothing.

this as a strictly layering element in your cold weather quiver is great, feels so light I wondered if it would do well, but today it was negative temps all day, and over 2 base layers, it was perfect skiing, and in a wind on the lift, and overly toasty hiking, at super cold temps I'd recommend venting the shell as much as possible, as I did build up alot of sweat by not venting, as far as the feeling cheap comment, don't plan on impressing the ladies at the mtn pub with this, because that is not it's purpose, nor weathering a work day, or storm on it's own, it's light and squeezzes into a pocket of your shell if need be, and thus worth its negligible weight and superior warmth in gold

It's the demi-tasse spoon that turns into an ice slicing snow tornado machine. Get one!

This toy is like bubblegum for a dog, I gave it to my avy rescue dog, and she instantly fell in love with it.... until my 9 yr old yellow lab got ahold of it, and he was in heaven, guess I need another. I do believe however if you have a puppy, this toy would save hundreds of dollars in shoes, etc. if my 9yr old rolls his eyes with pleasure while chewing it, I can only imagine how a 5 - 9 month teething puppy would love this!

These little piggies are in hog heaven in these socks. Long cold day on the slopes today, -7 degrees at 4 o'clock. to get home and put these cushy hush puppies on made my frozen soul smile! Aaaaahhhhhh.....
