Patagonia has perfected their running socks this time around. I've had problems with my toes breaking through these socks in the past but this version seems much sturdier. They are thick enough to add a bit of cushioning while on the run, but thin enough to keep from overheating. The wool/nylon blend keeps things from getting too sweaty. I'll be picking up some more.

This hoody is a bit on the light side compared to some other hoodies out there, but still a great purchase. It's warm for its weight and is softer than any hoody I've ever had. Also has a bit of stretch to it, which is nice.

I have a pair of these as well as the 23" version and love them both. They are roomy enough to let you move around comfortably, but not baggy. I've worn them hiking and surfing for hours at a time with no sign of chaffing. They feel like they'll hold up for years and have that cool understated Patagonia style.

I tried this shirt on last year and found the arms to be too long and the overall fit just kind of loose. This year, it fits me perfectly. I'm 6', 165 lbs, and I went with a small. It's soft, plenty warm, and has a cool style. Highly recommend it, but try it on first to make sure you get the right fit

A soft, travel-friendly shirt that looks good as good at the office as it does while grubbing on fish tacos. The cotton/polyester blend breathes well and keeps wrinkles away, but is not as thick as your traditional flannel. I wish the shirt was a tad longer but otherwise, no complaints.

Packs plenty of warmth for being so light. Sheds off light rain and wind no problem and is super breathable. Opening up the pockets dumps some heat if it starts to get too warm.

These instantly turned into my go-to pair of jeans. They are loose enough to allow for plenty of movement but not baggy. The waist seemed to fit a bit tight at first but quickly broke in and fit perfectly.

Solid trucker hat. I appreciate that this hat is not as tall as a lot of other hats out there. Great style!

Lightweight, strong, and keeps your pants in place. Does what it needs to do.

As the other reviewers have said, they are pretty stiff out of the box and can be a bit uncomfortable at first. However, as they have broken in, I have found myself wearing them quite a bit. They've got a cool style, look great with jeans, and let your feet breathe.

Material is durable yet lightweight, length is just right and pockets are nice and roomy. Great cargo shorts for warm days.

This little light is great all around the campsite. Comes in handy when cooking, eating, playing games, hanging out in the tent. Puts out plenty of light, takes up next to no room, and can be placed or hung anywhere. Dimming option is a nice feature.

My wife and I have been zipping together our Cat's Meow sleeping bags for years now and loving them but, living in Southern California, we hadn't tested them out in very cold weather. On a recent Yosemite trip we finally had the chance, and they peformed great. The weather never got out of the low 30s at night and even when a pretty serious rain/snow storm started, we were cozy. I don't know if it'd peform as well in anything much colder, but on that trip, I was definitely appreciating this sleeping bag.

I've got a lot of different wicking t-shirts but I should have known Patagonia's would be the best. This shirt is cool, comfortable, fits well, moves with me, and stays dry. Plus it's made from recycled materials. If you want the perfect all-around activewear t-shirt, and one with style, look no further.

From breakfast to bedtime tea, this thing has amazed me on both car camping and backpacking trips. Boils water practically instantly, packs down small, easy to clean up, fuel canisters last a long time, etc. I could go on and on about how great the Jetboil is, but most of it has already been said. I will say that I purchased the coffee press and frying pan to go with it, and am very glad I did. We can cook up pretty much anything with ease. Get one!

This shirt really does allow the breeze to pass right through, yet still feels very sturdy and durable. It's super soft against the skin and has a really nice loose, but not baggy, fit. Looking forward to pulling this shirt out on those hot summer days.

Definitely the best board shorts I have owned. The length and fit allow for freedom of movement without feeling baggy. They dry off quickly and feel great against the skin with no signs of rash. Plus they've got awesome style!

For those that prefer a casual, comfortable, slim fitting polo, look no further. I like this fit a lot better than Patagonia's standard Polo shirt, which was much boxier fitting on me.

These are my favorite socks for any occassion. I wear them hiking, I wear them to work, and I wear them pretty much everywhere else I go. Always the right temperature, always comfortable, and dry quickly when they get wet or sweaty. Highly recommended!

I've mainly only been wearing my Better Sweater for casual wear, and I love it. It's super soft and comfy, and fits my skinny tall frame perfectly. Has a fairly loose weave so the wind cuts through it pretty easily, which I usually don't mind living in southern California. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for anything super technical, as it is a more casual piece, but I think it could hang pretty well on some active pursuits.

This shirt is great overall, but truly excels when it comes to warm weather/travel. I just spent two weeks in Costa Rica and kept coming back to this shirt. It made the humidity bearable, and looked fresh the whole time. I'll be picking more of these up eventually.

This shirt is good for casually-dressy, as well as just hanging out. It has the softness of flannel, but is not as heavy. The fit is relaxed, but not baggy. Mine fit perfectly after a run through the washer and dryer.

Great hat. Keeps the sun out of my eyes while surfing, stays on my head when I get rocked by the waves, and dries out quickly. Chin strap tucks away so I can keep rockin' it once I get out of the water.

After finding myself wearing my Capilene 2 zip top on a nearly daily basis, I decided to pick this up for colder days. I'm so glad I did. This top has a very sturdy feel, and keeps me plenty warm either as a baselayer or over a t-shirt. Now I find myself wearing it more often than my Capilene 2.

These pants are super comfortable! They've got just the right amount of strech and breathability for running, yoga, or any other activity you want to put them through. Plus, they are great for just hanging out around the house.

I don't think of my head as being all that large, but I find that most beanies don't quite cover my ears. This one does the trick, without feeling too big. Plus, it keeps my head warm without itching. And to top it all off, it's got that cool Patagonia style.

As usual, Patagonia has come through with another quality product. Despite packing down to about the size of a softball, this vest packs some serious warmth and comfort. Works great as an outer layer, but would do equally well under a jacket. Looking forward to putting this thing to the test in some real low temps this winter!

Not too baggy, not too slim, super soft and comfy. They look good at the beach and at the office, and they feel like they will hold up for a long time. I love my Patagonia cords!

Comfortable, great support, perform well in water or on land. The same great quality you can expect from Keens other footwear. Other than the fact that rocks can slip into them and get under your feet, I really can't find anything else I don't like about them.

I've worn this shirt everywhere from the office, to bike rides, to the beach. It never gets too hot, never gets too cold, and fits great as an overlayer, underlayer, or on its own. A great shirt from Patagonia.

I greatly appreciate the versatility of these zip off pants. The material is tough enough to stand up to anything, but stretchy enough to be comfortable. My only complaints about these pants are that the material is a bit loud while walking, and some zips at the bottom of the legs to make converting into shorts without taking my boots off would be very useful. Otherwise, another solid product from Patagonia!

These boxers provide extreme comfort, do a great job of regulating moisture and temperature, and have just the right amount of stretch. The only downside is that, because of their baggy fit, they tend to ride up a lot more than the boxer brief version. I'd go with the boxer briefs.

These are definitely the most comfortable boxers I have ever worn. They stay in place but have enough stretch to move with you. They do a great job of moisture and temperature regulation. Worth every penny.

My go to "shoe" when the temps drop a little too low for flip flops. I like the comfort and the casual look. As soon as you put them on your feet, you can't help but start relaxing!

Picked these up a couple weeks ago and have worn them pretty much everywhere. Biking, hiking, skateboarding, hanging at the beach, hanging at home...everywhere. I really like the length, stretchiness, and durability.

This North Face fleece does great on it's own, but zips easily into my North Face Mountain Light Shell for colder temps. Definitely a good jacket that can do well in a wide variety of temperatures. I'm fairly tall and slender and the jacket is slightly shorter than I would prefer but not a very big issue. I look forward to getting years of use out of this fleece!

I had been looking for a good pair of headphones for a while now and, with the purchase of a new iphone, decided that I wanted something that would work well with it. After a recommendation from an employee at the Apple store I picked these up, and am so glad I did. These headphones are exactly what I was looking for. The built in mic works great and the call answer/pause/track skip button is super convenient. The included choice of foam and rubber tips is great, and more comfortable than any other headphones I have had. And, most importantly, the sound is fantastic. From hip hop to mellow acoustic it all sounds perfect!

As always, another great product from Keen. Having been very impressed by the comfort and quality of my Keen boots, sandals, and office shoes, I decided to try out their casual shoes. This is a very comfortable and good looking shoe. It doesn't offer the same arch support as most of their other footwear but still feels great. Definitely a step up from the old converse all stars!

This thing can really get the job done in any conditions. If you have a good fleece zipped into it, it'll keep you warm. If it gets hot, you can take the fleece out and open up the vents to cool off. If the rain starts feeling, you can through on the hood and trust the gore tex to keep you bone dry. Tough material, and packs down to a pretty good size. I found it to fit true to size (I'm 6' and 160 lbs and a small fits me great even with some layering underneath.) Highly recommended!

I'm glad I picked these up. I just took a trip to Switzerland and wore these almost every day. They do a good job of distributing the warmth and letting out extra heat if it gets too warm. Never too hot, never too cold. They also stay in place very well, which I've had trouble with in the past. Excellent product.

Great baselayer! Kept me warm, but not too warm, while doing a variety of winter activities. I even managed to fall over in the snow with no jacket overtop (don't ask) and this thing was dry before I knew it. Great temperature, moisture, and smell management.

I finally decided to upgrade from my 2000 version of this same pack, and am so glad I did it. This bag does it all! My camelbak fits into it perfectly and the insulated tube strap is super convenient. I love how all of the straps pack into the bag out of the way. And, most importantly, this bag does what it is supposed to do, holds a ton of stuff without being bulky. Without a doubt, one of my most valuable pieces of equipment.

I picked up the 165cm for my 160cm board and it doesn't seem too big for the board. I can put my board, boots and some light clothes inside with ease. The tarp-lined inside keeps moisture from soaking into the material. And the padding is more than good enough for airline travel.

This watch looks great but still has a clean, simple style. Fits in at the office, but is still tough enough to get out on the trail or in the water if you so desire. I have pretty skinny wrists and, despite the fairly big face, this watch looks right at home. My only gripe is that sometimes it is hard to read the time, due to the lack of numbers on the face. But if you are looking for a watch more for its style than its functionality, look no further.

This gloves block out the snow and wicks away any sweat that may build up inside. They are plenty warm but allow for movement. Would do well in any conditions.

Very comfortable shoe that will go wherever you want to take it. I have very narrow feet but, despite the wide fit of most Keen's, I have been very happy with the way they fit. They fit true to size. Thanks again Keen and backcountry.com!

I must admit I haven't taken these boots out on anything too intense yet but so far I am loving them. They are super lightweight, extremely supportive, very grippy and maintain a comfortable temperature. I'm excited to get them out in some mud and snow to see how they hold up! Would definitely recommend these (as well as any other Keens) to anyone. Sizing is pretty accurate, although ordering a size bigger than usual probably wouldn't hurt.

If you're looking for a pack that is made for the beach, this is the bag. It has pockets for everything you could possibly need. A waterproof wetsuit pocket, tarp-lined wax pocket, fleece-lined sunglass pocket, cooler pocket big enough for a drink or two, ipod/phone/pen holder pocket, a large main compartment, and a secret pocket where you can hide your keys. Although it would still get the job done, it's probably not the ideal bag for general/school use but that's not what it's made for anyways. But if you want a simply designed yet very functional beach/surf pack, you'll be more than happy with this one.

I wear these shoes to the office almost everyday and have worn them on light hikes, in the rain, in the mud, and everywhere in between. They can handle anything and feel great and look great through it all. These definitely won't be my last pair of Keens!

This headlamp has been out on many camping trips and night hikes and has never failed. It is very lightweight and comfortable and takes up next to no room in my pack. Batteries and bulbs last for a long time!

This bag lives up to Dakine's reputation for making quality products. It makes it easy to keep your stuff organized and is tough enough to handle anything you put it through. However, even when not expanded it is a very tight fit in most overhead compartments when full. Dakine's Overhead bag would probably be better suited for overhead compartments, if that is what you are looking for.

Right out of the box these boots were very comfortable. The boa system is quick, easy and efficient and the air pump helps eliminate some of the extra room caused by my narrow feet. The stiffness of the boot is great for those who need quick reaction time. I have found them to be true to size. Definitely recommend these boots!

I've been riding with these gloves for about three seasons now and they have held up great. The liners help keep your hands drier and warmer and can even be worn by themselves on warmer days, or when you are out on the town in the evening. My only complaint is that they did not keep my hands warm in weather that dropped below 0 degrees, but I'm sure a couple heating packs would do the trick.

I've been wearing this hoody a lot since I got it and it has not let me down yet. It is pretty thin and can pack away easily but still warm enough to wear by itself on cool nights. I'd recommend getting a size bigger than you normally would wear.

This travel kit holds a ton of stuff but still takes up very little room once it is closed up. It does a great job of keeping your stuff organized and easy to get to.

After taking these goggles out on the slopes several times now I can see why they sell so well. Awesome venting system, very comfortable, and fit with a helmet really well.
