After 2 years of use, this bottle performs like the first day. Give up the petroleum-based plastics and go green with Klean Kantean!

This cooler is top notch. I own 2 other softshell coolers from different companies and this one is by far the most durable, best constructed, and thickest insulated. I use this once or twice a week while on the road and it works like a champ. Loads of storage space and very attractive.

Super lightweight and packs into the size of a racket ball. Fits my tall slender frame great with no complaints. Allows mobility when running and feels as light as a feather. Great colors too!

These socks work great. They are very warm and they stay up with no fuss. Plus, real wool beats oil-based synthetics any time!

Wool works better than the synthetics and is more eco-friendly too. Only bummer is that these socks aren't 100% wool. But the spandex helps keep the socks from falling down.

This beanie has a near perfect fit on my head. It's so light that it doesn't weigh my head down. And the elasticity is just right. Clean lines and great colors. This is a great choice.

Amazing Ecological bottle

Backcountry.com Goat Klean Kanteen - 27 oz

Backcountry.com Goat Klean Kanteen - 27 oz

Rating for this product: 5 September 19, 2007

I own 4 of these Klean Kanteen bottles - 2 27oz and 2 40oz bottles - and I use them everywhere - on runs, on trails, in the car, etc.

Finally an eco-friendly choice...but it gets better. Unlike plastic bottles (even the Nalgene and "taste-free" eco-plastic bottles), this is the only water bottle or bag that doesn't leach a nasty taste.

Plus, even Nalgene bottles have been shown to release carcinogens. To test, just put the bottle out in the sun for a day and drink. Yuk!

While plastics are porous (or micro-porous), this metal is not - meaning no nasty bacteria will grow on the bottle. Watch out - other plastics are treated with nasty chemicals to be anti-bacterial.

Plus these are super easy to clean - just add diluted vingear, shake, and rinse.

And the cap is awesome. It's very tight and has a great loop for extra security, clips, or just to slide a finger through.

They're light too!

Plus, the never wear out! What's not to like?

Ditch the backpack, get this!

Mountainsmith Day Lumbar Pack - 854cu in

Mountainsmith Day Lumbar Pack - 854cu in

Rating for this product: 5 September 19, 2007

Why use a slim backpack when you can use this! 1150 cu.in.!!!

This is bigger than most daypacks and puts the weight where is should be - on your hips, at the center of your gravity.

Plus, this lets your back breath.

If you do pack this full, try out the strapettes, which act like backpack straps, but are more comfortable allowing breathability and weight distribution without hunching over.

I'll never go back to a backpack again.

Pick your size 45-60-90... you won't be disappointed. The pack conforms perfectly to the body and doesn't cause the body to contort to the pack instead of the other way around. very secure strapping system and the straps tuck away nicely. A top quality bag. I'm buying my second (the 90) very soon.

Rating for this product: 3 September 5, 2006

Rating is due to personal taste. Don't like the tattered and worn edges look. Hard to tell from photo. Also, the short size is not all that short. I am 5' and wear size XS or S cargo pants as regular pants. The short size pants were still too long.

Awesome design idea

Osprey Packs Departure 60 - Mens

Osprey Packs Departure 60 - Mens

Rating for this product: 4 August 28, 2006

This pack has one of the most innovative designs I've seen yet. Unfortunately, the pack has one flaw. The pack protrudes very far from the body, placing the center of gravity too far away from the body. This causes the person to lean forward to stable the weight. Other than this, the pack design is very advanced making the pack a lot of fun to use. I prefer non-framed packs which conform better to the body and recommend the Osprey Porter & Osprey Solo/Daylite combo.
