The North Face Astor Softshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 14, 2010

I own several tnf jackets, and this one is certainly top of the line. This is one of their first soft shell jackets with fully taped seams, which means it's waterproof and windproof but still moves freely and doesn't crackle like most hard shells. This jacket is loaded with almost every possible feature, definitely built for the gearhead. Plus it has some kind of micro polyester lining, not quite as warm as the apex bionic but very close. I wouldn't need another layer in temps around 40-50 if I wasn't moving around. The fit is a bit more relaxed with a slightly longer torso, but the arms are thankfully not too long like other tnf jackets. Overall a great stand alone jacket for all-weather activities, or an excellent winter jacket with layers. Well worth the spendy price tag, bells and whistles all the way!

KEEN Ridgeline Trail Running Shoe - Men's

KEEN Ridgeline Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 9, 2008

Took a few weeks to break in unlike most other Keens, and the sole still feels a bit stiff. Other than that these shoes are comfortable. I haven't taken them trail running yet, plan to over Christmas so this isn't a full review. The design is original, the materials are top-notch and the construction appears to be solid. It breathes ok though not as much as a running shoe or as much as the pictures suggest. It seems to have a light insulating backing of some kind, not sure why. If I'd known ahead of time I'd have probably gone with the waterproof Shellrock (if it can't breathe then it might as well be an all-weather shoe). I'll be able to say more after I take it outside though. Overall I'm happy with the purchase, and the extremely fast shipping as always.
