Cloudveil Run Don't Walk Tight - Men's

Cloudveil Run Don't Walk Tight - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 28, 2009

I gave a pair to my son and husband. I have a pair of these that I got a few years ago, and sometimes, when it is chilly, I wear them at home every day. They make excellent layer for under ski pants/shell. I wear mine skiing when it is 30F or below, but my husband and son wore theirs skiing when it was a bit cooler, more like 20F or below. The men's RDW tights fit a bit looser in the hips/crotch area than the women's. I purchased men's medium for both my son (29in waist) and husband (32in waist) and they fit loose on my son, but he is 15 and still growing.

Patagonia Inter-Continental Short - Women's

Patagonia Inter-Continental Short - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 July 14, 2008

These fit me fine. I am between size 6 and 8; i bought a 6. The waist is not too high and I do not have big hips so they are a little baggy at the hips, otherwise the fit is quite comfortable. Fabric is light weight and comfortable. I plan to take these on my trip to Vietnam. I also purchased the inter-continental pants.

Marmot PreCip Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 May 7, 2008

I bought this for my son. We live in South Carolina so don't need a heavy rain jacket. He is 13. He likes the jacket fine and likes the color (Hedge). I bought men's medium and he is 5'5" and 105 pounds, so it fits fine with room to grow. My husband and I have the same jacket.

Rating for this product: 4 February 25, 2008

Although these shorts were nice - very nice light fabric, they were larger than expected...I normally wear an 8 and they seemed like a 10. So I returned the shorts.

Icebreaker Nature Sweetheart Top - Long-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 December 18, 2007

I purchased this shirt when I was in New Zealand and like it very much. I wear it over a camisole when temps are about 50F-70F for the day. I prefer this type of wool t-shirt to cotton, especially when the temps warm up during the day and then get chilly again at night.

nice jacket

Cloudveil Rayzar Ski Jacket - Women's

Cloudveil Rayzar Ski Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 7, 2007

I bought this to replace my cloudveil serendipity jacket which was chewed (on wrist tabs and cordlocks) by the new dog we have. The newer serendipity jacket does not have the velcro cuff, which I prefer. The Rayzar is a bit more than I need (I like it for fly fishing, hiking, and everyday wear on cold days in south carolina), but I like it very much, it is more water resistent, and I look forward to a day when I can use if for skiing as well. I also like that the pockets are on the side (waist area) rather than on the chest (where they are on the serendipity). The only down side is the higher price. It is also a little tighter in the hip area than the Serendipity was...one important note: after I purchased the jacket I learned that Cloudveil does repairs, so I might pursue that for the old jacket, but plan to keep the new.

Osprey Packs Vector 22 Wheeled Carry-On Bag - 2800cu in

Osprey Packs Vector 22 Wheeled Carry-On Bag - 2800cu in

Rating for this product: 5 November 5, 2007

I purchased this bag to be used as carryon for short trips, especially for work. It fit enough professional clothes for 3 days of meetings in DC (3 skirts/pants and 3 blouses/sweaters) as well as a wool overcoat and pair of shoes, pjs and jeans. The outer pocket that is behind the handle frame for stuffing in a jacket. Although it fits carry on dimensions, I gate checked the bag rather than checking it at the ticket counter; so I don't know how well it fits in overhead or under the seat. It is lightweight and the wheels are good quality. While in DC I had to take my bag from the metro to the meeting location about 4 blocks away, in the pouring rain for two of the days...everything inside the bag stayed dry and it was relatively easy to get in and out of the metro with the bag because it was not bulky. I have a larger Osprey bag that has the backback and rolling function, and I like it so much that I was confident in purchasing the smaller Vector, and I am very please with my purchase.

Rating for this product: 5 July 5, 2007

I bought this for my husband. He likes it and it looks nice on him. The material has a nice feel. Sizing is accurate. It does get wrinkled slightly when in luggage but seems to straighten out on the hanger or the person.

Ibex Stripe Polo Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 18, 2007

This shirt is very comfortable and stylish. I have a few different shirts made of NZ merino wool, which I like because I am slightly allergic to most wool, but not this NZ wool. Anyway, the shirt is perfect for days when the temp is changing from about 65F to 85F and back to 65F. It is also nice because it can be worn more than once before washing because of antibacterial attributes/no smell.

Horny Toad Yolo Skirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 18, 2007

I have this skirt in light khaki color (bought two years ago) and wear it so much in the summer that I decided to get a second color for variety. I like the style of the pockets because they are functional but not bulky. The skirt has a very comfortable waist and stays clean and unwrinkled relatively easily.

excellent travel bag

Osprey Packs Sojourn 28 Wheeled Convertible Backpack - 4900cu in

Osprey Packs Sojourn 28 Wheeled Convertible Backpack - 4900cu in

Rating for this product: 5 August 9, 2006

I used the Sojourn 28 for a trip this summer to the UK. It was a 12 day trip (including attendance at an academic conference and some fun travel). I was able to fit all the essential clothing I needed (no winter clothes though) and the bag weighed total 45 lbs loaded (good for meeting current weight limits for checked luggage). The bag rolls well and compression straps on inside and out were easy to use. It has good handles on outside and the conversion to backpack features are great. I recommended this bag to another friend who needs to do some international travel.

I got this bag for my 11 year old son for a trip this summer to the UK. He likes it very much and was able to fit all necessary clothing etc. The bag loaded was under 40 lbs. I had to carry my bag (Osprey sojouner 28) and his up and down flights of stairs at train stations and I managed ok. The compression straps inside and out worked well. He is now addicted to this bag as his regular luggage.

sheds a bit

Patagonia Capilene Expedition Weight Fleece Zip Tee - Women's

Patagonia Capilene Expedition Weight Fleece Zip Tee - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 October 19, 2005

The Capilene fleece top is great, but for some reason these tend to shed during in the early wearing period, all over the seatbelt for example. The same thing happened with a similar Patagonia top I got about 10 years ago. The shedding eventually stops. Perhaps an initial washing and short time in the dryer would help.
