my two year old, shaeffer, rocks these boots in the snow. they are super easy to put on and off; super warm and water proof. he spent a ton of time in foot deep snow over thanksgiving and sign of discomfort, wetness or cold feet. highly recommend!

not only do they look stylish they are super comfortable w/ the lined fleece. they run a little narrow and like most vans a little small, so don't hesitate to size up. sweet shoe.

The North Face Insulated Boone Jacket - Toddler Boys'

Rating for this product: 4 December 1, 2010

i'm a big fan of this jacket; in fact i bought an larger size for the next two seasons for my son. the 2T fits great (my son is 2 years old 33/35 lbs). the insulation is adequate, but worth adding an extra fleece layer on those really cold days. the water proof rating is nice too since my son spends more time on his bum than on his feet.

Rating for this product: 5 December 1, 2010

the snow is already falling in utah and i'm glad i have these sorel's. they are perfect for shoveling snow, sloshing through parking lots and taking the dogs for walks through the snow. my only complaint is i should have bought a size smaller; i usually wear a 12 and could have gone w/ an 11. the liner is super warm and i often find myself shedding my socks and the waterproof and durability are fantastic.

over thanksgiving i was a little cramped in the family cabin/ranch house w/a dozen adults and two dozen kids so i took my bag & four season tent and ventured outside. we were just south of fish lake, ut w/ freezing temperatures. this bag held up nicely even in such cold weather. i'm 6'2 so the long bag was perfect length. i did layer up and have a pretty good pad to make it through the night, but nonetheless i was pretty impressed w/ the bag.

Rating for this product: 5 May 24, 2010

I've not bought a new pack in 6 years and my previous North Face pack was great, but I needed something more serious for climbing & mountaineering. I spent a lot of time researching price and features and found this pack had it all. Plenty of space for gear, solid ice axe loops and shovel pocket.

I think the greatest features are the side zip, adjustable lid and super comfortable back panel. Also, this is an ideal size for a quick trip up the canyon or a weekend pack.

This a light durable pack that I recommend for anyone.

Not really, but it was one of the hilights of our trip was hiking Waimea Canyon w/ my 16 mo, who weighs 30lbs, in the kid carrier. it was easy to get him in and easy to get the pack on. it helps if you have a second person helping adjust the different straps, but once you are set off you go.

we hiked for about two miles before we had to stop due to wet ground and crazy steep trail head, but we could have gone further w/ the pack and kid on the back.

not a proud moment as a parent, but i did slip and fall while on the trail. my little guy fell into the head pad pretty hard, but it kept him from hitting my back or even the back of my head. he was a little frightened, but not hurt which was comforting.

now everytime he sees the carrier he

two problems w/ this shirt: first this is not a plain black shirt, it actually has some funky vertical thread design that looks more like a club shirt you find from a street vendor. second, the fit is not loose! it's slim/tailored and i think hurley also put the wrong arms (sml) onto an XL shirt. i wouldn't buy this shirt!!

hurley makes some great stuff, but this is just not one of them.

i'll keep my comments pithy; it's a great cool weather wind jacket that i use in park city on 40 degree winter days.

the picture shows a grey jacket, but the site calls it black. in reality the jacket is black so it looks like BC has the wrong pic for the SKU. the jacket also runs pretty big which is good for adding layers below. i'm 6'2 200 lbs and the XL runs pretty big on me.

only complaint is the bottom of the jacket should have elastic waist that can be tightened.

Rating for this product: 3 May 29, 2009

This is the standard pedal you'll get from most bike shops w/ your first bike, it was for me. It's an adequate pedal and like previous reviews it easier to snap in then speed plates or some of the LOOK models. For most beginner riders clips might be daunting and the fear of falling to much to handle, but you'll overcome that fear pretty quickly, so I recommend going w/ upgraded pedal like the LOOK Keo Sprint.
