Salomon X Ultra GTX Hiking shoe - Men's

Salomon X Ultra GTX Hiking shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 27, 2012

At first I knew the fit was good, but I found the footbed to be a bit hard for my sensitive feet, I have extremely high arches so I added a firm arch support & substituded the insole with a cushion type foam insole. After getting them broke in and wearing them alot I find them to be really great, I use thorlos Silk Merino socks and the combination has kept my feet really happy. Speed Laces on these Solomon shoes is cool, I love never having to tie them, I just slip them on & off & never change how I have the laces set =)

I like this baselayer a lot. Although for some reason when I bought a top it didn't seem so comfortable! I will hopefully try other tops of silkmerino and hope to find one I like as much.

Rating for this product: 5 May 25, 2012

This shirts is great, the pocket comes in handy, and it is also recycled permanent polygiene treated fabric. It's also very soft. If you can afford this shirt, then you should buy it, if you can't afford it, then you should get a second job...

This Super Filo material is very cool, it really has a special soft feeling. The shirt is also light weight, this is my favorite shirt to wear on hot days. I highly recommend you get this... that is if a size that fits you is still available! =]

66 North Iceland Mosfell Fleece Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 1 May 21, 2012

This is an odd jacket. It is higher in the front on the neck than the back. It is also useless against the wind. I didn't like it, but I got mine from dept. of goods & am past the returnable 30 days, plannin on getting the Helly Hansen Mountain Pile Jacket instead and goving this away free to somebody!! =]

SmartWool Midweight Hoody - Men's

SmartWool Midweight Hoody - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 March 22, 2012

I do not ever dry anything with Merino Wool with heat! This comes extra big stating it will shrink. I really wanted a light-midweight hoodie but I found this not to be very warm when it was cold and too warm when it wasn't. To me it seemed like it had a really tight temp. range which made it not very useful, I'd think 40-50 degrees & it would be okay then. I expected more of this although Patagonia has a similar one made with polyester for extra durability & moisture wicking and I might check it out. I'm finding clothes with multiple materials and vent systems to be better than those of simplicity.

Peak Performance R&D Backpack - 28L

Peak Performance R&D Backpack - 28L

Rating for this product: 5 March 20, 2012

After having tried several backpacks from other places this one really is much more adjustable and comfortable. I'm small & normally the belt strap is too big but this one goes on just right when adjusted. It rests just right on my back, couldn't tell from the picture but it's quite flexible & the backside is soft on the back. I don't use camel bak's because in Basic people hated how the nozzles hard to clean if it gets dirty. I plan to keep other things like snacks & those energy drinks in the long zipper pocket on the shoulder strap that's clearly fir putting a camelbak in the main compartment and putting the tube through the shoulder strap which is insulated (I thonk).

Thorlos XWCU Thin Cushion Merino Wool/Silk Micro Mini Crew Sock

Thorlos XWCU Thin Cushion Merino Wool/Silk Micro Mini Crew Sock

Rating for this product: 5 March 16, 2012

Excellent socks. I walk around all day at work, in ANY normal socks I would always have aching feet ready to take my shoes off when I get home. These are the second socks after X-socks Carving Ultralights that completely took that away. Although these are even better, The moisture management of these socks is incredible, even in the X-socks, my Shoes for Crews are terrible with breathing, after working all night, and walking home in rain gear during moderate-heavy downpour, kicking through puddles, my feet were so dry I didn't notice until hours later that the inside of my Shoes for Crews is even still moist from my feet sweating, I can't wait to get Gore-Tex shoes to compliment these! I also don't even have a concern with taking my shoes off right away because they are so comfortable. I highly recommend these socks to anyone who expects to be on their feet for 10 or more hours a day, or even on their feet for a couple days in a row. And to complete the review: of course the odor resistance provided by the merino wool is great!

Peak Performance Move Pullover Hoodie - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 14, 2012

So over $100 for a hoodie and it's only got one sleeve pocket huh! Well it's amazingly soft, wear it alone, the hood may not have strings but they just get in the way anyways & this hood stays pretty well in place. The Polygiene is what I've come to expect from Peak Performance, sleeve length is just right too. I got this is Melange Grey, it is in fact a nice color.

Backcountry.com Shift Softshell Jacket - Women's

Backcountry.com Shift Softshell Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 14, 2012

I'll add some info not yet mentioned, there are hem strings, @5'4" the XL still fits fine, good neck coverage, the zippers are excellent, it is very comfortable, great thing about the lining and size is I already know this will layer easily & move well, even for my size the XL sleeves are not too long. arm pocket & inner pocket are big enough for mp3 players, small cell phones, my optimus v fits the internal pocket perfectly but is barely too large for the arm pocket, internal pocket has a wire hole for headphone wires if you still use those. Collar is soft & flaps over the zipper so you won't feel the zipper inside. definitely worth it, I would buy more if I had anyone to buy it for. I've had great success using silicone water repellant from walmart on superfabric and windpro making it virtually waterproof and submersible well beyond several many minutes, expecring the same with this material, the polartec fleece will prove extremely water resistant with a solid thorough application on a windy day, provided heat afterwards or not.

Stoic Thrive Vivid Tech T-Shirt - Short-sleeve - Women's

Stoic Thrive Vivid Tech T-Shirt - Short-sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 2 March 7, 2012

So far this shirt is very comfortable & lightweight. XS fits me perfect @ 5'4" 105 & the XS is only 55g! Small weighed 59g if you're curious as I am. Will comment again on how it handles moisture wicking later but I expect this shirt to work very well.
Well, I own a few other items w/polygiene and they work great. I was looking forward to this shirt being as competent but it hasn't been through a fraction of what the others have & after a walk, at that fact on a breezy day, it doesn't seem like there's any odor resistance at all. I already put in an order for more & feel disappointed, I'm sending this shirt back after a gentle cleaning.

Peak Performance Gaisa Base Short John Bottom - Men's

Peak Performance Gaisa Base Short John Bottom - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 27, 2011

This is a great base layer. Very comfortable and down to below freezing temps, think the coldest It's been for me now is 17° F, wearing regular pants or gore-tex on top & it's still warm either way. I had no idea these would be so comfortably warm. They don't take long to "warm up" either, I never feel cold at all. Read a review of Windstoppers zero extreme & it's only rated down to freezing and mentions it takes a minute to feel warm. They can be placed right on the top of the calf over or under ski socks nicely.

These seem to run slightly larger for me
I am small and normally fit a 29 or 30" waist perfectly. this fits me nearly as perfectly as possible, I would've gotten an XS if possible. I would reccomend you try a Med. it's stretchy and very comfortable.

I would normally check for detailed info on a product before I get it but I don't mind the discrepencies. The info here states all pockets are zippered. The left cargo pocket is zippered, the two hand pockets are zippered, right cargo is not neither are the back pockets. How did you guys make that mistake! ??

I like these socks for the fact that they are very warm but I find them itchy although after walking around for awhile I barely notice, I still moved on to X-socks Carving Ultralights when I need the support anx warmth and Eurosocks when I'm kickin' it and want something uber comfortable.

These have never failed, I sit on wet benches & pay no attention to it, they compliment waterproof boots & keeping the wind out solves any cold leg issues, only 1 underlayer needed or wear over pants. Nice that the zipper & inner/outer velcro allows reachinf for pant pockets easy.

Outdoor Technology DJ Slims - Wireless Bluetooth DJ Headphones

Outdoor Technology DJ Slims - Wireless Bluetooth DJ Headphones

Rating for this product: 5 December 10, 2011

Being that I normally use Sony or Stanton and recently tried the Xone XD-53 and this is only a 27mm driver, I was impressed by the quality and overall output of this Bluetooth headset. I have a small head and it doesn't have a tight enough grab so I miss out on some bass I can hear better with a little squeeze. definitely very comfortable and small. I prefer this on my head over a DJ headphone when it comes to the headpadding. This would be hard to compete with if it had a 50mm driver but that would prolly cut hours out of the battery life. Charges quickly- I use a wall charger.
