These are by far the best gloves I own. Last year, I bought a new pair sometime before Christmas, fairly certain that my current pair were about to bite the dust. Well, with only one or two pieces of duct tape, they're still going strong. I've gotten at least 45 extra ski days in with them compared to what I expected.
They're great for both warm and cold (not super cold) days, spring and deep winter. I can't say enough good about these gloves. Best of all, they're cheap!

Well, we picked up this raincoat off of SAC for our big yellow lab, Moose.
Finally got a chance to try it out recently, and well, it seems to work... a bit too well! Now, when it's raining and 40° outside, Moose no longer has any sense of rush - he's perfectly content to take his time, sniffing about and doing his dog thing, all while I'm standing around in the pouring, miserable, rain. So, I guess this raincoat does what it's supposed to, but be warned - you may end up spending more time out in the wet and cold than you bargained for!

Just like the pants, these shorts rock!
Having picked up a pair of the pants on SAC and loving them, I got these off SAC too! What a deal, as they're all that I've been playing in this summer so far.
Light and very comfy, they seem to do well with everything. And although I thought the blue might be a bit too much, it's grown on me lots.

A warning to all: this kit does NOT come with the tip attachments like the picture would suggest (thus the 1-star rating). LAME.
This pic shows all that comes with this kit.

Although I'm not sure that I would pay the full $130 price (I picked up a pair on SAC), these pants are fantastic.The first day I got them, I went for an 8-mile hike where it was cold and very windy - the pants held up great, and were rather resistant to the wind. They are a fairly light fabric though, so I was a bit chilly (granted, it was around freezing on top of the mountain).Also, the sizing seems much more normal than the rest of the stoic gear.The only real complaint is that the knees are a bit baggy and as such, my feet tend to catch in the knee area when I'm putting the pants on. But that's nothing I can't deal with.So yea, these pants rock. Maybe not $130 worth of rock, but definitely $50 worth of rock.
