Good draws. They do exactly what you need, and nothing else. They are 10 grams lighter than the posiwires, which are more expensive.

Clip well, and the dogbones are stiff. I've used mine for trad and sport, and don't have any complaints.

Nice shirt, but material is a little cheap. Fit is also very tight. I normally wear small, but would recommend a medium unless you want a skintight fit.

reflectors are a nice touch.

Also, NO POCKETS.

I did get lots of compliments on the shirt though.

These shoes have a really weird fit. The entire foot bed bends inward (towards the big toe).

They had way to much material on them, and felt cheap. I love Inov8, but i sent these back right away.

I was really hoping to love these shoes, but in the end they are merely adequate.

They are not minimal. I consider minimal shoes to have <9mm drop and under 9 ounces. These shoes are 10.5 ounces, but have a 9mm drop.

I was hoping that since they were invo8's, they would still be nimble and responsive. They aren't. They are clunky, solid, and burly. I imagine they would work well for 100 milers, but for anything less I would pick something else.

They are built well, and have a roomier toebox than other inov8 models. I imagine they will hold up well.

I did like how well these protected my feet on the super techy trails. The rubber toe cap and the rock plate really do their jobs.

Pros: great grip, good materials, comfy fit, toe guard
Cons: heavy, bulky, unresponsive

Super comfy shorts. Plus they are slim fitting, but not super super short. The reflectors work, but only from the front. The back pocket is big enough for 2 gu's and car keys, but not much else.

The fabric is holding up well after about 6 months and over 1000 miles. These have the sewn-in briefs, so don't get them if you use compression shorts.

Great shirt. I have several, and i use them all the time. The reflectors work really well, and the fabric holds up really well. No chaffing spots either. There is a credit card-sized pocket on the left side that works great for ID's or other cards.

My only complaint is that the zipper bounces around. Get's annoying.

Fit is slim, but not tight.

I bought these to use with my NB minimus, but they failed miserably. The gators use a stick on velcro patch made by 3M, but they never stayed on.

MHW said they would send more if I ran out, but what's the point of using them when they break in the middle of runs? The material of the gator is great, and has stood up well to what i've put it through.

I also used them with Inov8 f-lite 230s, but it didn't work either.

Hate to say this about anything MHW, but don't buy these.

UPDATE: I just got to 500 miles with the shoes, and both shoes have blow-outs on both sides. I've been really hard on them, but i'm a little disappointed that they are breaking down so quickly. I plan on buying another pair though.

These bad boys are awesome. Flat out, hands down, freaking amazing. They are really lite, flexible, and sensitive. I've worn them on short runs to 50 milers. They work well on trails and roads.

If you want the specs, look at the website. Know that the show has a 6mm heel-toe-drop, it has minimal cushioning, no stability control. this is a fairly minimal shoe.

I've logged a lot of miles in the shoe, and it holds up really well. I put in about 400 miles, then ran a 50 miler and I noticed at the end that there was a little blow out around the toe box.

The grip is still in really good shape, despite it being sticky-rubber. I've logged about 250 miles on roads, so it doesn't wear out very quickly.

I know these things are expensive, basically $2 a shot. that's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. But these babies are well worth it come race day.

I tested them out first on a 50k training run, and i noticed that i felt better than usual. I never really hit a physical or mental low. Of course that's not just because of roctane, but still...i was intrigued.

My final test was last week at the VCU 50 miler. It's a beast of a course with 10k feet of vert. I used roctane, chomps, and a few normal GU's. When I took a Roctane,within 10 minutes I could feel the difference. My brain was sharper and less fatigued.

The only thing i've noticed is that they seem to 'burn out' faster than the old GU's. I found that after about 30-40 minutes I had to take in something else. The race went well, I came in 4th.

I strongly believe that nutrition is one of the main reasons I ran well. Roctane isn't a magic pill, but it IS worth the money.

Buy it people!

oh yeah, most of the flavors taste ok. nothing amazing in my opinion.

these were the first pair of LSportiva's that i've bought, and if all their shoes are like these, then i'm going to need a bigger credit card.

I just ran a 50k in these and loved them. I'm 6'1, 165lbs and neutral with a high arch. i use insoles too.

trail conditions ranged from deep mud, scree, slab,grass, and dry...the shoes were great on everything minus the slab.

The brush guard is nice, and the shoes are great for a minimalist runner. I hate all the bulky shoes like salomon and Pearl. I've owned both brands, and I still run with their shoes, but come race day, it's the Crosslites all the way.

This pack is like a BMW. Awesome design, with great attention to detail with tons of extra features. It has a REALLY stiff back panel, that vents really well. Adjustable back straps makes it easy to get a perfect fit, although with such a small/light pack it's not all that critical. I use if for climbing and day hikes. It has just enough room for harness, chalk, jacket, some food and water. the shoes can strap on the outside. Definitely not enough room for overnight, or for a complete rock bag. But I really like it, and it's GERMAN. yaa...deutsche

This is only my second shoe, so take whatever I saw with a grain of salt. For sizing I got a 42.5 and I normally wear 44. The fit is tight, and was rather painful for the first 2 weeks. after about 20 hours of climbing they were pretty broken in. Rubber is nice, but not amazing. The fit is heavily down-turned throughout the foot (not like in the solutions where it's mostly the toe) and the heel is very comfortable. Easy on an off, sweet looking, and fairly sensitive. The main thing i would note is that these are VERY aggressive, which means they excel on bouldering and overhanging sport, but are not as good on vertical as overhanging. Great shoes.

I use it for school, and it works well enough. It's not super cool looking, and not very big, but it does the job.

It's big and bulky, and not very comfortable. I will keep it because it is cheap, but definitely nothing to use for backpacking!

Great boots! I love them! Only two problems: the top lace-hooks dig into my ankles if I don't lace them just perfect. Second, once the snow melts on the boots, it tends to seep through.

I like this hat! Warm and comfortable, my only complaint is that it is just a little short. It doesn't cover the bottom of my earlobes. Otherwise, SWEET!

These gloves aren't built for mountains. It's great for around town, or shoveling snow, or scraping a car, but NOT for alpine use.

I used it in CO in -5/15 degree temps, and I got frostnip in both hands. The windproofing is not good, i always felt a breeze.

DWR is pretty good, and leather grip is also nice. However, it's definitely a "mountain inspired" glove.

Also, i paid full price...at the current sale price I'd give them 3 stars...

I love this jacket to death. If I could make it my skin, i would. It fits perfect, breathes, sheds water, insulates, and looks amazing! I've worn this in -20F weather on a run and stayed warm with only a long sleeve underneath. I would easily pay $220 for this jacket. BUY IT!!!

I like these socks, but i'm not sure they are worth the price. try and off brand before spending $15 for a sock.

I really love this pack. I use it for running to hiking. It has just barely enough storage space to last for a long day hike. It vent along the back moderately well. My only gripe is that it's hard to run with because it tends to flop and the straps won't stay tight.

I've had this pack for 2 years now and I've done everything from travel to Africa, to summiting 14ers in Colorado, to using as a carry-on when going back home over school breaks. It fits me perfect, but I could see it being a bit small for some taller chaps. It carries like air, and it packs well. I've never had a doubt that it could take hell and not break. The only nice addition would be some sleeping pads loops on the bottom.

These shoes are perfect. comfortable, durable, great grip, good looking... definitely get yourself a pair!

I love this bag! really warm and comfortable! only thing is that the stuff sack it comes with is pretty big. I haven't had a chance to use it in really cold weather, but i've used it in 25 degree and it did great.

I love this shirt. It breaths really well, it looks great, and it is really comfortable. Definitely recommend it.

These pants are really comfortable, and durable. I think they look pretty sharp too, but they do run small.
