I just bought these for my wife who hates highend specs, always opting for cheap sunglasses. She loves my stingrays but finds them big on her face. These just as my stingrays, are great driving glasses and perfect outdoors. Light weight, and look fantastic! I buy a lot of glasses on a whim but am always blown away with the polarization of MJ lenses. Like high def!!! I like that they are not gender specific because now I can finaly steal hers for a change.

February 11, 2011

Buy them! their light weight, durable and breathe well! I have the hail tech as well and use them for both outdoors and work here in FL. Great wind breakers! I wear them with both shorts and pants in all temps. Quick on and off and I have yet to tear them, even putting them on over boots. Their not cheap or flimsy, have pass through pockets and adjust at the ankle. I will never waste my money on frog togs, ponchos or just plain old crappy gear to save weight and sacrafice comfort. These and the Columbia light/fast shell are my primary rain system on all trips. Both are light and packable. I have a pic of them in action in my review of the hail tech's, Another of my best buys!!!

UPF protection is a plus, and although I bought them for outdoors use, I find myself using them everyday. They are not bulky or heavy, dry well and keep you cool in the Florida sun. I did find them a little cheaper at BPS, but still a good price here for quality without going broke. Primary use: Fishing

Pacsafe ProSafe 700 TSA Combination Padlock

Rating for this product: 2 February 9, 2011

After 26 years As a customer service agent for the majors, I pretty much laugh at locks on luggage. You can put the biggest padlock on your suitcase and any thief can punch the zipper with a knife or key to open it and re-zip it without damaging your bag or alerting you. Additionaly, we find more of these laying around the airport with your zipperpulls still connected after they were caught and ripped apart from your bag in the process destroying your luggage. The TSA will generaly inspect your bag in your presence at point of contact avoiding their use anyway. Based on expeirience, I always reccomend carrying all your valubles on your person and to avoid turning your luggage into a charm braclet of locks and oversized novelty tags that will catch onto every conveyor system, belt loader, cart or become the grabbing point of the handler tossing it 20ft to the next! Believe it or not, two slim straps wrapped in a cross around your bag are more of a deterent to thieves and secure your bag from opening than any lock I have encountered!!! In this pic: A few of the many I encounter Ripped off or the cause of damage to baggage!

Classic Multitool!

Victorinox Ranger Swiss Army Knife

Rating for this product: 5 February 9, 2011

My primary arsenal of multitools consists of leatherman products, but you cant deny the simplicity, light weight and portability of the Ranger! The cork screw, scissors and tweezers were the core of my uses. The version I have is less the saw. I have had this knife for many years and have just recently passed it on to my son, who will hopefully not cut himself as the blades have remained sharp! These knives are made to last forever with little maintenace. And despite the (cool tools) on the market have remained a part of everyones outdoor expierence.

Its compact, light weight and small enought to pocket without being a minature! Its a bit limited but it carrys the necessary essentials and leatherman quality!

Tried these before settling on the TNF Vindicator GTX. This is a light weight and very comfortable shoe, but had more of a high top sneaker feel than a hiking shoe. The Vindicator seemed to have a stiffer feel and a better Vibram sole. It also seemed it was built sturdier and for the same price. Not knocking it, but it just didnt feel durable or like it would last long.

Shimano PD-M540 SPD Pedals

June 26, 2010

I used these on my roadbike and when adjusted properly have very little play in them. They are slightly heavier than the Ultegra's I just swapped them with and when used on the road it does take a little practice clipping in and out because you have a much smaller platform. Their is nothing wrong with using them on a roadbike as many riders I group ride with dual ride (road-mountain) and rather than swap pedals and cleats just utilize one. Another bonus is price to dedicated road peds. I bought these peds and Speciaized shoes for the price i paid for the Ultegra's!!! They are on my bike in this pic!

The tension is easily dialed in and I very rarely suffer from clipping out. Good pedal for a beginner to learn to use. Highly reccomend!!!

The North Face Base Camp Duffel Bag - 1525 - 9460cu in

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2010

In my 25 years in the airline industry, I have only seen a few bags that could handle the abuse dished out by a rouge baggage handler. This is one of them. I have never in my time seen a damage claim on one of these. In my enviorment, the straps dont shred the duffle is vitually puncture proof and between the heavyduty zippers,velcro closures and strapping, its burst proof. From a baggage handlers point of view, Highly reccommeded!!!

The medium will be too big as a carry on. Even patialy loaded, it may not pass the TSA's scrutny or the gate agents roving eyes for oversize revenue.

Light and Loud

Harmony Fox 40 Safety Whistle

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2010

I work for the airlines, and these whistles where issued to us in a new safety directive to be carried at all times. "Its a whistle" big deal, Right! Its a whistle that can be heard over a running jet engine!!! I copped a few extras and now use it as my primary safety whistle. Its light and loud!!!

The North Face Condor Triclimate Jacket - Men's

January 7, 2010

Perhaps, they have substituted the liners in the newer models. My model is about 2 yrs old now and i have read conflicting descriptions of various liners in other readers descriptions. My liner looks like a down jacket and I have currently worn this jacket with a sweater in +25 deg for extended periods and have either been comfortable or irratatingly warm. Its a great jacket!!!

Lightweight Packable Rain System

Columbia Hail Tech Rain Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2010

I just purchased these to wear in combination with my Columbia light shell. Together, I can stow them both in my packs rain cover pocket and have a ready to wear rain system quickley available. Just like the jacket, these pants are breathable, waterproof and block the wind. I am currently using them in place of my workgear because they are so much lighter than my issue system and are not cheap or flimsy but actually durable!!! They have pass throuh pockets and a velcro adjustable hem Which allows me to eliminate gaiters in wet vegitation. Bottom line, if your looking for good quality rain system that is light weight, packable, durable, wind resistant and a good value consider these. I will be buying an additional pair for work so I dont ruin my dedicated kit!!!

Simple and Lightweight!!!

Kelty Crestone Tent 2-Person 3-Season

Rating for this product: 4 January 6, 2010

A light weight tent without having to be a minimalist. Simple to set up and cost less than its competitors, the crestone 2 is more than adequate. It might not have all the bells and whistles Its nearest competitors claim, but it is durable and reliable. Its low cost makes it a resonable choice$$$.

I have also owned and used the crestone 1, which is also a great low cost solo hiker tent.

To free up space in my packs, I would some times attach my military issue 3L camelback to the exterior of my pack. It had four rings that I would use small caribiners to attach it. It also made it easy to remove and refill without having to empty and repack my kit.

GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Dualist Cookset

Rating for this product: 5 July 1, 2009

I am a solo hiker, but bought this set as i am introducing my kids to hiking. Perfect setup for two which aleviates your partners additional set. To help with the questions below, you can fit an MSR Pocket rocket and a 3.53oz Jetboil canister (not included) along with a bic lighter in this setup. The rocket is out of its case and is protected in the set. I got one of the first sets which did not come with the sporks, so your getting a bonus with this kit. This set heats quickly, evenly and cleans real well. I love it!!!

This is the only knife i have never had to take care of. Its been around the world, used and abused and is almost as sharp as the day I bought it. Although I have a collection of Leathemans, This is the only corkscrew in the bunch!!! Highly recommended as an emergency survival knife.

Jetboil JetPower Fuel

February 11, 2009

There is no other option. They can only be sent by ground transportation which means North America UPS only. Fuel cannisters are listed as flammable gas and are restricted articles on commercial aircraft. No airline will accept for transport. You can try ups or fed ex. depending on the quantity they may ship them.

I do not find this jacket too bulky. It will definetly take 20 degs and lower. I have worn the shell alone and it breaks the wind (did I just say that?) Iam not familiar with the tritronix ll, but can vouche for the condor. Its a very nice jacket.

MSR Pocket Rocket Stove

January 31, 2009

The PocketRocket will accept any threaded, self-sealing Isobutane canister (IsoPro, GigaPower, PowerGas, JetPower, Bruntane,...).I have heard varying point on using other fuels, specifically the JetBoil fuel canisters. It will work but depending on who you talk to, some say it is not quite as effective, others say it works fine. All seem to agree they will screw on, but you may or may not see a slight ineffeciency using fuel canisters other than MSR. Definitely use another fuel if you are in a pinch, though.This stove will accept any Lindal valve (screw-on) fuel canister.The last canitser i used was a coleman propane bottle that you can find just about anywhere. jet boils work well also.

The North Face Condor Triclimate Jacket - Men's

January 31, 2009

I second that emotion. While it shouldn't be a problem otherwise, if you're long-legged and short-waisted, the medium will work particularly well for you.I am 5' 11" 160lbs and I got the large. Its a little loose fitting but i can wear additional layers or a bulky sweater without looking like a marshmallow. If you have a thin frame and want a tighter fit go with a medium, but if you anticipate wearing something heavier underneath i would suggest a large.

Columbia Aquatooth Shoe - Men's

January 27, 2009

Rinsing them will solve any problems you might encounter, but there's nothing in these shoes that would be adversely affected by salt water in the first place.Also you should consider washing them in a washing machine. I do not have these shoes, but I have had various experiences with similar shoes that leads me to believe this. Especially if you are using them also as casual shoes, salt water will make them smell terrible and therefore should be washed.

I have had mine over a year and use them for fishing in both salt and fresh water. The only damage i have had has been to the removable insoles. They deform and get that funk smell. I also use them to cut my grass but rinse them after every use.
