Salewa Alp Trainer Mid GTX Hiking Boot - Women's

July 18, 2012

I disagree. I bought my usual size 9 and it is a tad too big. I'm pretty sure the 8.5 would be too small though so I am keeping them. There are 2 insoles inside, you can use both for a smaller fit or take one out and it will give a little more room.

KUHL Softshell Cargo Pant - Women's

November 12, 2011

Is the khaki as light as it appears in the picture? I was trekking in Nepal with quite light khaki pants (which I am trying to replace) and after so many days they looked disgusting. I want something that is not chocolate colored but not light colored, either...

Great & surprisingly flattering

Icebreaker Villa Dress - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 August 20, 2011

I got this dress in black a few days ago and I love it so much I am ordering the red today! The first time I put it on I did a little inward groan because it is quite slim fitting but WOW does it look good. It is weird how something like the thin belt can pull this dress together! I'm wearing it out tonight with low heel casual sandals but it also looks good with flat sandals. Don't know if it would work in winter. I wanted the Roma dress for winter but the shoulders were way too big and it is being returned.

HUGE SHOULDERS

Rating for this product: 3 August 20, 2011

I should have read the reviews more closely, I wish I had. I really like this dress and everything is wonderful except the shoulder... I have rower/swimmer shoulders (very broad) and usually have to size up to accommodate them. The shoulders on this dress are massive, really. Please listen. Pay attention and save the money for return shipping!

Therm-a-Rest Fast And Light Repair Kit

It seems like everyone likes this for the NeoAir... can I assume it will work on ALL Thermarest mattresses? I am buying a TrailPro.

LIGHT and warm

MontBell Alpine Light Down Jacket - Women's

MontBell Alpine Light Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 October 15, 2010

I got this a few weeks ago in preparation for a trekking holiday in the Himalayas, otherwise I would never buy a down jacket because a) they make me look like the Stay-Puffed Marshmallow Man and b) every 15-22 year old has one (generally TNF) and that annoys me. I did a lot of research and thought about the reality of my needs (ie I will never have to wear it skiing) and found this jacket fits my needs perfectly. It is incredibly light, like you are wearing nothing. It is very warm as well (although it hasn't been much below freezing here yet). I love the fact that it doesn't look like every other jacket out there, and the color (I got ruby) is as shown on the website. The fabric is pretty thin, as expected from such a light jacket, and I will be very careful to not wear it when doing anything with the possibility of shredding it. Overall a great purchase and a good deal for the quality.

Great jacket

Cloudveil RPK Jacket - Women's

Cloudveil RPK Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 August 30, 2010

I got this after a very cold/wet ski season in the Alps last year. I had decent skiwear, but the weather was brutal and I needed something more. I did a lot of research before buying and I am very pleased with my purchase. I have worn my RPK hiking and it is absolutely waterproof and breathable. It is kind of "basic" (in terms of looks) but has everything you need in terms of technical features and durability. The size is exactly as expected, with some room for layering underneath. Good hood, don't know of it fits over the helmet yet. Color is beautiful, I got the nightshade and it is pretty much as pictured. I hope the new Cloudveil owners keep up the quality of the brand.

Icebreaker Superfine150 Henley Lite Top - 3/4 Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 2 August 30, 2010

Great shirt, good color, soft. I tried this shirt on in large in a store and it was just a tad too small, so I came online and bought the XL, has to fit better, right? NOPE. I think this is the same or smaller than the one in the store. So apparently the sizing is inconsistent. Also this is a cute top meant to be worn on the outside and to make it so tight, size-wise, is unappealing to me. Great shirt but size way up.

Love 'em

Icebreaker Rio Pant - Women's

Icebreaker Rio Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 August 30, 2010

I got these today because Smartwool doesn't seem to be making their version anymore. The pants, fit-wise, are about the same, they fit as expected. The improvement with the Rio is the POCKETS and the fabric is slightly heavier. Also, the length is right. I am 5'9"+ with a 33.5" inseam and I had to have 2+" taken off the bottom of the Smartwool pants, they were sloppy. Don't get me wrong I still love my Smartwools and the Smartwool brand but I think this pant is done better.
