I bought this thinking that the mug would be useful, but I found that it just ads weight. The pot is great and gets 5 stars from me. However the mug is just unnecessary. It works for what it is, and is nice for winter camping but def. leave it at home in the summer.

Picked up one of these guys the other day. The size is perfect, much more thin then the full griptillian making easier to carry. The mini is also light making a good choice for hiking and other activities where you are carrying your gear. The blade is flat ground and of the highest quality. Benchmade provides lifetime sharpening, which does NOT extend to the serrations of the combo blade.

nice soft cotton, not tag to scratch you. Fit is rather nice, some what athletic. Went with the L I'm 6'2" 210 and it fits great.

Picked up one of these for dirt cheap and I love it. Wear it most days as a windshell and it works well. Have had it around town in the rain a couple times didn't soak at all and kept me dry. Had it on in a pretty good pour while riding home from campus and stayed drive as well. The hood is great! Has the "halo" style tightening cord so that the hood moves when your head moves. great feature!

The standard shoe has the same cool Sanuk style and comfort but they have an actual sole on them making them much more durable then their other sandals.

The R4 fleece is the warmest of all the patagonia regulator fleeces. It also contains a windproof laminate to keep out any gust. This is one of the nicest feature of this jacket, especially if you live somewhere with lots of wind, or will be spending any time where there is lots of wind. The jacket is noticeably more bulky when compared to the lightweight R4 but is not by any means annoying. The jacket is thick enough to wear on its own, but at the same time does not prevent it from being layered. But don't expect to get it under a snug fitting shell. The finish on this jacket is also a little different. The fibers are a little longer and features 'retooled' fleece accents. I personally like the look, but it might not be for everyone.

The Merino 3 by Patagonia provide enough warmth for winter activities with medium to high levels of exertion or for low exertion activities in the fall. The wool is top notch and is extremely soft and does not itch at all, i've found these to be much more comfortable then cap. 3 pants. Another advantage of merino is its natural ability to remain odorless. So if you plan on going on a trip for a couple days and don't plan on washing your gear these are great. Overall a great product, but with a steap price tag. If you have the money they are definitely worth it.

The stingray pant compliments the stingray jacket perfectly. The pants are comfortable, lightweight, and have a supple feel due to the Gore-Tex soft-shell. Although some say that the soft-shell material is less waterproof then hardshell I have not found this to be an issue in the wet Washington snow. The pants do fit on the big side. I'm 6'2" 220pnds and went with the XL which are just baggy in the waist and length. The waist does have double adjusters which have a somewhat lack-luster plastic snap lock to them. Verry rarely are they an issue though. The only weird part of the pants is the short gaitors. On all my previously owned ski pants the inner gater was rather long, meaning it was disconnected from the up to about the knee. On these it is only disconnected for about 6 inches from the bottom of the pant.

A simple Al shaft paired with quick release baskets and grips. The interchangeable baskets are a nice touch although they do become difficult to change after time, as the red plastic disc becomes deformed. While the releasing grip is nice to adjust the shaft length, after the initial adjustment it is no longer necessary. Armada could have done a better job creating a more ergonomically friendly grip rather then slapping on an MTB inspired grip. Sure they get the job done, they are just ski poles after all, but for 75 bones?! look elsewhere.

PBP did it again with EDIAS. The movie showcases the forefront of skiing cover park,urban, bc, and big mountain. While it mostly focuses on the two former it definitely covers the two later. It does a good job of showcasing the talent of riders who you would normally only see slaying the park.

After about a season and a half of use my Hestras needed a little love, in order to keep my paws dry durring the wet PNW winter. That love came in the form of Nikwax waterproofing leather wax. The wax applies to the gloves by hand and cures overnight. This provides a solid 3+ months of protection. Although all leathers will differ, this did not have an affect on the leather of the Hestra leather even the white.

I bought this bag figuring it would carry my boots, goggles, gloves, hat, jacket, pants. Once I loaded everything up I realized I still had room to fit my helmet, base layer, insulation layer. An overnight kit and some extra clothes. The build on this is top notch, durable outter fabrics with nice waterproof tarp lining. The shoulder strap is padded and textured for comfort and non-slipability. Overall a great product to keep all of your gear in one place

The Apollo lantern is about the size of a can of PBR and puts our quiet a bit of light. The build quality is top notch while maintaining a low weight. However when batteries are added it seems to double in weight, but that is expected. The lantern emits a decent amount of light for its size but is not extremely bright. It works great for backpacking trips but if you plan on using it for car camping I would go with something bigger and brighter especially since size/weight is not an issue.

This little thing can quickly be tossed in to any gear bag and quickly boils water or heats up cans of soup. The elements cool down relatively quickly which is nice. Build quality is top notch and this little thing should last forever.

I bought this pack to take with me on a 6 week stint in South in durring the end of the monsoon season. This pack packs down very small making it easy to fit in to your luggage or carry on baggage. Once open this little thing sucks up your gear like a vaccuum. I was more then once surprised by the amount of good I could fit in here. While they don't boast its weather proof-ness. I was caught in a monsoon while ridding a bike back to my hotel. Inside the bag was my passport and DSLR. I spent about 3 minutes in the heavy down pour and everything on the inside of the bag stayed dry enough to not get any damage, only small traces of moisture wear observed. This pack is also very durable they used the thicker materials just in the right places to make this light little pack last. If you're thinking of buying one, DO IT!

I own these shirts to wear while fishing/ fish guiding. The are very cool in the dry heat of eastern Washington. The vents work nice and the long sleeves provide ample protection from the sun. This is not the kind of shirt you would want to wear with jeans to the club, unless you are trying to get that Tom Hanks in Castaway look. But for hiking, fishing, camping, traveling its a great choice. The fit runs a little big. I usually wear an XL in Patagonia but the L in these shirts fits me best.

The R1 provides the lowest level of insulation through out Patagonia's Regulator series of fleeces. I have found though that this is a versatile piece that can stand alone on cool summer nights or brisk early fall days. When the temps dip a little lower it functions as a great insulation layer under a shell or rain jacket for high movement activities, but would not be quit warm enough for low exertion sports in cold weather, such as winter fishing. Overall a great product with many different uses.

These shoes are super comfy. Feel like nice sandals. The sizing is a little small and the color fades a little over time. The bottom soles on these do ware rather quickly about 5 months until through to the foam. Other then that are a great option for those who need to wear shoes for a job but would prefer to wear sandals.

The blade of this shovel actually WILL fit in a Dakine Helipro 20L. the outer compartment of that pack actually extends up above where the zipper ends and goes up behind where the goggle pouch is giving sufficient room for the shovel to fit in to the pack.

fits all large Oakley sunglasses perfectly. These wont protect your shades from being smashed by something big and heavy but it does keep them from getting scratched or getting banged around in the back of your car or backpack.

Got these polarized glasses almost three years ago when they first came out. They've been on several MTB trips hiking trips fishing trips road trips pretty much any kind of trip these things have been on them and survived. They have a sem-breakaway hinge on them. Meaning if you step on them and the arm will probably just pop off and can be put back on, at least it was that way for me. As far as polarization goes these have a circular polarization like a camera filter would have I dont know why they do it on a pair of sunglasses but it is definitely essential if you're going to be wearing these around the water.

These are great sunglasses for chillin, grillin, and listenin' to bob dyllan. They are a little on the heavy side but it is not really an issue since you wont be wearing these to do any kind of physical acitivity. I've owned these for a couple years now and have been rather brutal too them. The lens are still clear and the frame still fits fine although the arm screws come loose from time to time and i've had the nose pads replaced, but that would be expected if you hang on to a pair shades this long.

I got these and had Rx polarized lenses put in. They are def. a large frame that kind of remind me of the OTG racoon sunglasses, but that doesnt mean these things dont ball hard! They are a great light weight frame and the polarization is like XRAY vision!

A medium towel dries me off and im a big dude. they ring out to almost dry and then become completely dry very quickly.

Not much else to say that hasnt been said these things are light and very bright. Best of all is the ease of use on this product. There is no half button pushing like on Black Diamond head lamps.

I own one of these and an MSR bladder they seem the exact same. a quality bladder is a quality bladder. I am not a huge fan of the on off switch/ have not found a good reason for it yet.

it is a good to have a core system where you are able to buy more cores that mach up with the key you already have. I have had durability issues with them though. 2 out of the six that i have for my ski/bike rack just wont turn and thats only after a couple years of hard use.

If you're looking fora cheap sound isolating head phones these will do the job. They are sound isolating in the same way that ear plugs are, which i find nice. These headphones stay in fine during no jarring activities walking around, riding a bike, lifting. They have a tendency to fall out during more jarring activities such as running. The build quality is reflected by the price: cheap. The plastic around the jack is concerning especially if your one to wrap your phones around your music player.

Yes its pricey but it has lots small features that make it worth the money. The rear attachment point slides very easily on the rack unlike some of the other yakima products. The release on the ratchet has never gummed up or gotten stuck like the ones on cheaper models either. The rack is also very sturdy it has zero twist to it. This rack has held my kona dawg and bianchi veloce secure at high speeds up to 80 mph. I have never once feared my back coming off while using this rack.

Picked up this jacket on sale in a XXL (6'2" 210 with a baggy fit) It is definitely the highest quality jacket that I have ever owned. The jacket seems to run a little short with the sleeve lengths being true to size. This jacket is simple with two inside pockets and three outside pockets. This jacket is a pure ski jacket, meaning it lacks hand warming pockets and a removable powderskirt.

I picked up the transfer 7 to carry in a helipro 20L. The blade of the shovel fits in to the outer compartment with the top of the blade sticking up- behind where the goggle pocket is. The handle trapezoid handle fits fine in to the side handle carry loops. The build and design quality is the best I've seen in any shovel. the trapezoid shape shaft in an ingenious idea so that the pins cannot become misaligned. The handle is ergonomic enough to work with either gloves or mittens.

This retro jacket give you a unique look that no other company has pulled off as well as patagonia. The windstopper layer makes this a perfect go-to jacket for all of fall and early winter. The quality of the jacket is exactly what you would expect for the price and the sizing runs true.

I bought these socks to wear hiking and to wear skiing. They are a comfortable sock that provided adequate cushion and insulation. These socks fit in an odd way. Once they are on they fit fine but they dont seem to stretch enough to just pop them on. Durability is great. I had one pair last about 2 years running double duty as ski socks and as hiking socks.

Simple: these socks rock. I wish I had a drawer full.

I got a pair of these to wear wet wading and fishing from a drift boat in the summer and spring. These are very comfortable sandals that provide a lot of protection. I've found these to be a bit slippery on river beds. If you plan on being mostly dry while wearing these then they would be great. If you think you'll spend a lot of time walking in rivers wearing these look elsewhere. I would like to see Keen get some Vibram soles on these.

I got a pair of these just to wear around town and to class. The shoe is very comfortable and runs a little small. I wore these for about 4 months and the majority of the tread on the bottom is gone, I expected them to last a lot longer. I imagine the softer tread increases grip while trail running, but since that wasn't what I was doing in these I find it slightly annoying.

Got some guns in 189cm 2 years ago. These ski absolutely rip. They are fat and light. They excel in the steep and deep but blast through crud, and crush on groomers. For a large ski they can make pretty quick turns.

Picked up one of these jacket real cheap. This is not one of the nicest jackets i've ever owned but not one of the worst jackets i've owned. I mostly wear the jacket with the liner around town and to class during the winter months. With the liner in the jacket is extremely warm. It has kept me warm walking to class(1 mile) in 0-10 degree weather. As far as waterproofness this thing has not failed on me yet.

picked up some of these to wear backpacking. First off they are NOT quick-drying they take a long time to air dry. The material is comfy, but it is too thick. These keep you too warm for summer backpacking warm to the point that it is uncomfortable. To just wear everyday they are fine, but don't drop the cash for them.

This pack is the tits for FR and DH mountain biking. A full face helmet and pad can be tightly strapped to the pack. the straps really tighten down so that you gear doesn't sway around on you. Their is also room in the pack to carry essentials, tool, tube, pump, cliff bars. The pack fits nicely on the back and is well ventilated.

Get that classic Patagonia fleece with the Snap-T fleece. This is just a simple fleece pullover but that is why it is so perfect. The size runs baggy. I'm 6'2" 210 went with an XL and it is a big baggy in the sleeves with a perfect length.

These are great goggles, with quality that you would expect from Oakley. They fit great with or with out a helmet (salomon patrol ace.) The only downside is that they have a somewhat limited field of view, this would probably not be an issue for those with smaller heads. The wisdoms or the crow bars are better for those with a larger melon

I bought one of these 3 years ago to run double duty, under a ski shell in the winter and with waders in the fall. This thing works perfect for both. Under a shell this is perfect insulation for weather anywhere from 0-35 F. As mentioned sizing is a little on the small size. I'm 6'2" 210 pnds and the L is a little short not extremely snug, but not baggy. I preferred this fit for under the shell. quality is top notch as expected from patagonia. the R1 grid material on the inside makes this jacket extremely comfortable.

ultra high quality base layer. the inside of these is a small holed mesh like material which makes them very comfortable and improves wicking ability. Im 6'2" 210 pounds and these fit a little long but are good in all other areas.

these pants are high quality, they however are not that much warmer then capilene 3 pants. If you are looking for a very warm baselayer pant look elsewhere.

This pack is great and exactly what you would expect for the steap price. the top compartment is water resistant with a water resistant zipper. meaning your stuff in the lid wont get wet in a light rain. the should strap and hip belt are thick and comfortable and support heavy loads well. This is the burliest hip/ shoulder straps that I've seen on a pack of this size. this bag is not overloaded with pockets and water bottle carriers, for me this is a good thing. there is one compartment on the top of the lid and one on the bottom of the lid, there is also a kangaroo pocket on the outside of the pack. This pocket is small and is only good for small items that you might want to get to with out unpacking everything.

College senior who bought this pack to haul my macbook and heavy books around campus. This thing is perfect for that duty. The smaller outer pocket has organizer sleeves and pen/pencil sleeves these things are not big enough to hold larger grip pens/pencils. Onto the main compartment, this thing is HUGE. It can easily hold a computer and 3-4 thick text books. in the main compartment there are two more sleeves at the top of the of lid. these are perfect to stash your Ti-84 or eye glass case. The straps of this pack are very wide and very comfortable with a small to medium load. unfortunately the straps are a little close together and with a heavier load this becomes an issue. as a day pack this is only mediocre. there is a small hook in the laptop sleeve to hang a camelback. the back of the pack is pure neoprene which leads to a very sweater back, I would have liked to see some mesh integrated to help ease this problem.

deceptively comfortable pack. At first look i didnt think this pack would be comfortable with those thin straps, I was wrong. fully loaded the pack carriers very well. I ride and carry salomon guns and I have found no issues with carrying these skis.

previously the anthony boronowski pro model glove, with that said these things crush. They are a very warm glove. I have never had my hands cold or wet. The only worry i have with these gloves is that ski edges might rip the leather on the palms, just something to be afraid of.
