The North Face Khumbu Fleece Jacket - Women's

I don't have a recommendation, but this also is zip in compatible with some Marmot shells - I have two different shells and it works wonderfully!

The North Face Khumbu Fleece Jacket - Women's

March 2, 2011

I'm 5'5, 160 and med-large chested. I have the large in this and it fits well - a little loose, but that's good for layering beneath it. I would go for the large - and if you find it's just too big, Backcountry is fantastic about returns/exchanges!

GREAT tent.

Marmot Limelight 2-Person Tent w/ Footprint and Gear Loft

Rating for this product: 5 February 19, 2010

LOVE this tent. Had it for about a year now, and have spent a good deal of time in this tent. Works great without the fly during hot, desert nights, holds up wonderfully in howling wind, and keeps the moisture out during terrible rainstorms. Moisture does tend to accumulate on the underside of the fly, but I'm also fairly lazy when setting up my tent and don't tend to put up the vent. It's also super lightweight and easy to set up - I can put it up in around 5 minutes on my own at a slow pace. Would prefer having a D-shaped door, but that's minor. It does sleep two people, but is a little cramped and there's not much room for gear, and having only 1 vestibule and 1 door makes sharing the tent a slight inconvenience. If it's only for a short time though, it's definitely doable. Very spacious and comfortable for one person (and a dog) though. Another nice addition is that it comes with the footprint!

Love this shirt. The venting is fantastic, the shirt is lightweight and fits true to size (unlike the short sleeved version, which I had to order up). Great shirts!

good shirts

Columbia Silver Ridge III Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Columbia Silver Ridge III Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 February 19, 2010

This shirt is lightweight and great for any activity. It dries fast and doesn't smell, even after I wore it 2 or 3 days in a row while out hiking. It's worked wonderfully out in the desert as well - I don't know how many cactus or other terrible, painful desert plants I've bushwhacked through while wearing this shirt, and there's no sign of the fabric giving way.
Shirts tend to run a little small - I ordered a size up and it fits perfectly. However, the red ibis color is more coral/pink than anything.
Definitely recommend these!

Love these boots, but not good in wet conditions

Vasque Breeze Hiking Boot - Women's

Vasque Breeze Hiking Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 February 19, 2010

I LOVE these boots. There was no break-in period for these and they fit my big, wide feet perfectly. Recently went on a 16-day trip with a few big hikes, and at the end of each hike my feet were happy and had no sores or blisters anywhere. When we hiked Wheeler Peak in NV, these performed even better than I thought - I am terribly klutzy but didn't have to worry about slipping on the rocky trail, as the vibram soles performed wonderfully. The ankle support is great as well - there were many moment where I would have been hurt in my old hiking boots. I LOVE these boots and highly recommend them, unless you plan on being out in any sort of wet conditions. Wishing I would have bought the GTX after a long day of hiking in rain...however, besides that, I love them.

TNF Khumby Fleece - Women's

The North Face Khumbu Fleece Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 29, 2009

This fleece is AMAZING. First off, it fits true to size and looks nice. I'm 5'4, 160 and the large fits perfectly, if not a little loose - which is nice to layer underneath. I live in Flagstaff, and can pair this with a down vest and I'm all set to walk my dog when its 20 degrees outside. It's not windproof but is thick enough that it's not too bad by itself - or I can pair it with my Marmot shell and I'm nice and toasty. I LOVE this jacket and definitely recommend it to someone looking for a warm, flattering fleece.

The only downfall to this jacket is that animal fur sticks to it like crazy. I spent two hours trying to get the dog hair off of it, and it is still fairly covered. The fleece is worth it, but if you have animals but don't like showing it on your clothing, this probably isn't the fleece for you.

great sandals

Rating for this product: 5 July 23, 2009

I love my pair of chaco's and practically live in them. When you first get them, the straps (especially the toe strap) tend to tighten and are a little uncomfortable - just keep readjusting them until you get a little "gunk" in there, then they wont move. These sandals are great for shorter hikes, water sports, and just for everyday. Plus, the tan is SEXY!

Rating for this product: 4 July 23, 2009

This is a great windstopper jacket for hikes. Hiked Wheeler Peak in NV with this jacket, and it kept me perfectly warm and did a great job at blocking out even the worst wind. Not so great for winter conditions, but that's also not what it's designed for. Definitely recommend this!

Why is there a $100 difference in price between the green and blue packs? Is there some aspect of the pack that I'm missing?
