This helmet rocks in more ways that one... :-)

It did shrink. I ordered XL and I'm 6' 185 lbs and now I would say it's an "athletic" fit for me. So definitely size up one level when ordering, as I normally wear a Large in T-shirts. Love the stained glass style goat!!

Great shirt, very lightweight. With a long-sleeved tech shirt underneath you can't go wrong (if you need two light layers). Love this shirt!

Without a doubt, the best running socks ever invented. I did an 18 mile training run in 78 degree 80% humidity temperatures and not a single blister. Impressive in that when I was done, I was able to wring them out and measured 1/3 cup of sweat!! I will note that they are on the "thicker" side, weight wise but they are my marathon sock of choice!

These boots are perfect for our 6 year old... She LOVES them and never has complained about the frigid Iowa temperatures.

This jacket is perfect... Lightweight and does it's job and can even double as a good shell with a light fleece under in colder temps. You can't go wrong with this one...

I am absolutely in love with this shirt. I ordered the Large and it is a loose fit, but not super baggy (I'm 6' 185 lbs). I pick this shirt over all my others when it's clean :-)

Love this shirt!! I personally don't think you need to size up. I think it's pretty true to size. I ordered a Large and I'm 6' and 185 lbs and I think it fits fine.

Love these bad boys... They replaced my old Backcountry Goat fleece gloves. The insulating layer is nice and they are great for cold Iowa winters. They even held up in snow shoveling weather. As another reviewer noted, the plastic on the finger tips did start to peel but in my mind, doesn't affect the gloves much.

Got these for our two daughters as stocking stuffers and they love their matching lights :D They haven't gotten a ton of use out of them yet but the three settings are nice and they are super easy to turn on/off and adjust. Even fits our 2 year old's head.

These pants are sweet!! I haven't used them on the slopes yet but will be doing that next week! They have held up in super cold Iowa temperatures though while shoveling endless snow piles as well as sledding and playing outside with my daughter. I am kind of in between a Med/Large but I went with Large. I'm 5'11", 195 lbs, 35" waist and I think I could have gone with a Medium. However with the waist adjustment and belt loops I'll be fine...

I love this shirt!!! It's probably the most comfortable base layer I own!

I love these bad boys... I've only had them a short while but I can already tell I will be buying another pair. They are my first Icebreaker socks so despite my friends telling me they were the best, I was still skeptical. I can tell you now that they ROCK! Check the sizing chart though, as I am a medium in these but normally a large in most other socks. Medium fits great...

My wife was a little worried about getting a coat before trying it on but thanks to the other reviews detailing sleeve length the fit is perfect. She is 6' tall and the Large is on the money!! The coat is the perfect length just going past her hips with a little flair to boot :D

Sweet hat!! The fleece lining makes it extra cozy :D

Most comfortable running shirt I've ever worn, hands down!!!!!!! I hope BC gets more in stock...

My daughter loves these shoes! They are easy to put on and she wears them everywhere!

I bought this coat in September but wanted to wait to review it until I had a chance to test it in the COLD Iowa weather. Nothing but praise for this coat...

It's a sweet shell, with excellent pit zips and I love the outer chest pocket (perfect for wallet or car keys or blackberry, etc.). The hood adjusts nicely as well.

I have worn this coat for walks across a large college campus in -10F temps and was fairly warm with only a poly-pro underneath. The large teeth zipper would make it easy to zip in a micro jacket or fleece.

I also tested this in two HEAVY rainstorms and I stayed perfectly dry. This is a sweet Gore-Tex shell.

I got these for my 3.5 year old and she LOVES them!! She can run and play in them @ the park, but also can wear them if she's going to get wet too... She's worn them every single day since we got them a month ago. If you are hesitating, they are definitely worth the money.

This shirt is great! I have some other under armour shirts that have a blend and sometimes are almost itchy. This one is awesome!! I'm planning on ordering another short sleeve one and also a long sleeved version.

This shirt is cool, but runs small and is VERY long. I kicked it down to my brother and he loves it...

These are great fleece gloves for driving, walking, hiking, camping, etc. I don't use them as liners, but you obviously could. I like them for the other reasons mentioned and they have a nice griping goat pattern on the palm. I bought a pair of these a while back but lost one so I naturally got another pair :-)

I bought three pair of these shorts and they are without a doubt the most comfortable shorts I own! I love the extra hidden zip pocket for securing anything. I bought the 8 inseam and they aren't "short" by any means. Just a good length... If you prefer longer shorts that come to or below your knee, then go with the longer inseam. Bottom line = you can't go wrong with these and Backcountry has a sick price on them in that they retail @ $38.

These shows rock! My first pair of Keens and I'm lovin' it... Based on other recommendations I ordered up a 1/2 size. I'm kind of between a 10 & 10.5 so I went with the 10.5 and they fit perfect!!! Glad I didn't go with an 11 because they don't run "that" small. I think they are pretty true to size but if you are in between two sizes, bump up to the upper one.

I now have four pair of the Patagonia Ultra Lightweight Endurance socks and decided to try out this sock. They are great, about the same as the Ultras. Very comfortable, feel great on runs and my feet are very happy with them :-)

These are my wife's second pair of these shoes and she swears by them!! She said that within one day of wearing the new pair they felt like her old pair, perfect!!! My wife is an emergency veterinarian and is on her feet all day working long hours and she claims these shoes are a life-saver...

This is my fourth pair of these bad boys... Not because of any quality issues with the previous three pairs, but because they are suck awesome socks! They feel great while running and hold up well. With the first pair I had, I found myself favoring them when heading out for runs. So I added two more pair and then decided to snag another one in that they were available in white. Try 'em, you love 'em!!

These boots rock!! I had Sorels as a kid growing up and these are everything I remembered and then some!! I live in Iowa where it can be -35 degrees F and that doesn't even factor in potential wind-chill. With these boots, your only problem will be keeping the rest of your body as warm and happy as your feet will be :-)

They don't come in 1/2 sizes so definitely order down. I normally wear a 10.5 and ordered a 10 and they still have a little bit of room.

I had Sorels growing up and it sure is great to have a new pair!! These boots won't disappoint... They are awesome!! I've only had them for a month but I'm praying for more snow so I can go out and play :-) Only thing is they run a bit big so go down a 1/2 size (they only come in full sizes). I wear a 10.5 and got a 10 and they fit nice.

Great shirt for just about anything...

Great shirt, lightweight and comfortable :-)

I love these socks :-) I bought a pair last year and I found myself always selecting over other socks them when heading out for a run :-) Very comfortable, great for running!

This is my first Sport Science shirt and first Backcountry shirt of the month shirt and I love it!! The reflective goat is sweet on the front!! I live in the Midwest and so everyone asks what the goat "stands for" so I also love telling people about backcountry.com :-)

This jacket rocks!!!! It's lightweight and compresses down to almost nothing when it comes to size and backpacking! It's great for layering under a shell and is also great as a standalone jacket, providing quite a bit of warmth :-)

These Patagonia shorts look sweet on my daughter! They are light weight and dry super fast! I would order a size down. We ordered two pair of 24M for her (she is 21 months) and they are huge on her. No problem because they will be perfect next summer. We ordered this pair of 18M and they are still a little big but the nice thing is that with the drawstring it's all good!!

We bought this puffy for our 11-month-old daughter and is a great jacket. It's not bulky and she can easily wear it while buckled into her car seat. The fact that it is reversible is awesome! Great puffy for the money... :-)

This mirror is super sweet and light-weight! We bought the Kelty Kid Carrier - Wanderer this summer for our 6 month old and totally love it but you can't see your child that well. So the mirror is great:-) It's super cheap and attaches directly to the shoulder strap.

I bought a pair of these Capris last spring for my wife and she loved them so much I bought her two more pair before our trip to Oregon. She wore them every day and she swears they are the most comfortable pants she owns. They are great for literally ANYTHING!!

My wife got this watch and really likes it. It's stylish, yet practical. The only thing she doesn't like about it, and we should've realized this before we bought it, is that it doesn't display the "seconds" on it. Other than that, great watch for the price!

I got this watch after wearing a G-Shock for 18 years! Although I still have my G-Shock, this watch is sweet for running. It has features that I might not ever use like interval training. However, it's light-weight and looks cool. It stored two alarms as well as two different times and is very easy to learn to use.

I bought a pair of these capri pants for my wife for her birthday and she ABSOLUTELY loves them!! She wears them all the time. We are heading to Oregon for a vacation so I just bought her two more pair!!
