Sole Casual Flip Sandal - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 26, 2012

These things are super comfortable. My only complaint is that the straps seem to be a little narrow for the size; I wear a size 12, and while the footbed on the 12 is perfect and extremely comfortable, the straps feel really tight on the top of my foot. Perhaps they'll be better with some more break-in time? Other than that, like I said, the footbed is extremely comfortable and supportive.

Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter

Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter

Rating for this product: 5 March 15, 2012

I got my first chance to use my new Katadyn filter this week. I was extremely impressed with how easy it was to use and how fast I could fill a Camelback reservoir (the included connector fittings made for some frustrating setup initially, but once they were in place, it was incredibly easy to connect the Camelbak to the microfilter). This model is actually the same as Katadyn's older Hiker Pro model (why change something that's tried and true and so well reviewed?) the only difference I noticed was the color of the pump is now black. The whole setup came with a zippered storage sack and a ziplock plastic bag to store the outflow hose, as well as a tube of silicone lube to ease assembly and lubricate the pump when needed. As I mentioned, this pump has been around for awhile and has been thoroughly proven.

For more reviews (the ones that convinced me to buy this filter), checkout Backcountry's old page listing: http://www.backcountry.com/katadyn-hiker-pro-water-microfilter-ext0046

This is a great little set! Extremely light and compact when nested together. It works great for boiling water, and I was able to fit my MSR pocket rocket inside of the included bowl to save additional space. Also, if you don't want to bring the bowl and mug along, a 4oz Fuel canister can also be nested inside of the teapot (which has about a 4.6"in. diameter opening as close as I could measure) with room to spare around the edges. The included sack cinches at the top to hold the lid on for easy packing and travel.

Ruffwear Approach Dog Pack

March 5, 2012

It doesn't look like any of the Glacial Blue are on order at the moment, but keep checking back, since our inventory is constantly being updated. As for the sizing, the Medium sounds like it would be an excellent fit for your dog. The pack is adjustable at several points to allow for a very comfortable and sturdy fit. It is best to make sure the packs are filled with similar weight on each side, but filling the pouches partway full shouldn't be a problem and I haven't had issues with the pack being too "floppy" in these situations.

Stoic Luft Synthetic Insulated Sweater - Men's

Stoic Luft Synthetic Insulated Sweater - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 March 1, 2012

Overall, I'm happy with the jacket so far. The construction quality is very good (a few stray threads here and there. Nothing a scissors can't fix), it's nice and warm and very durable and for the price there are really no other jackets that compare. My only complaint is with the elastic wrist gaiters. They're a little tight for my liking, and require some effort to squeeze my hand through the sleeve opening (large-XL size hand) which doesn't affect the performance of the jacket in any way, but does make it a little inconvenient to throw on whenever I'm using it as a casual light jacket. The fit was a little bigger than I was expecting (I usually wear a Medium, sometimes a Large in similar jackets. The large in this jacket has plenty of room to spare), but the 3-D ergonomic fit makes the jacket look great, and not so "boxy".

K2 HellBent Ski

February 22, 2012

These are great in deep powder, but in tighter conditions, like tight tree areas and chutes, they take some skill to maneuver (think having a snowboard on each foot). If you're not an expert/advanced skier, or plan on being primarily in tighter conditions, I'd maybe check out the K2 Obsethed, especially if this is your first fat ski. Normally I'm all for the "go big or go home" mantra, but since the Obsethed are a little narrower and easier to manage in the trees, yet will still rock the wide open deep pow easily, they're a great alternative to the HellBent.

They take some getting used to, but having the ability to pick things up with your thumb and index finger, or grab items out of your pocket without having to take off a mitten makes a world of difference.

Ruffwear Singletrak Pack

Rating for this product: 5 January 30, 2012

There are multiple adjustment points, so with some fine tuning (ok, about 30 minutes of fine tuning) it fits my dog perfectly. He's a border collie/lab mix weighing about 50-55lbs and I went with the Medium. I'd say the size chart is pretty accurate, but if you're even close to being between sizes; size up. I've used the pack twice now, and my only issue has been the outer pocket sizing. When the bladders are full, there is barely any room in the external small side pockets for the dog's portable bowl (poo bags can be stuffed in without issue, maybe a treat of two). The only bowl that DID fit (I have 3 different bowls for multiple dogs) was my friend's small (27oz) Roughwear Bivy Bowl. Other than that, this pack is awesome.

For comparison: The mouth opening is a little smaller than a classic Klean Kanteen, but larger than a Sigg.
