These shades are way more money than the photo does justice. I got hooked up with these and they are tight. Killer Smith quality frames and lenses and much better style than the photo indicates. They are aviator but they wrap a lot more than they look like in the photo. The style is really similar to the Spy Wilshire.

This shoe is Sickter McRikter. Seriously downturned toe makes this shoe pretty specialized for steeper terrain. La Sportiva has always made the most comfortable, precision lasts on the market, and this shoe is no different. The neoprene-like inner booty / cuff keeps my foot totally comfy and secure without creating any additional bulk in the shoe. The unique closure snugs up around my entire foot. There are no funky dead spots or hot spots in this shoe for me. The only caution I would throw to buyers is to check the sizing. In other La Sportiva shoes, like the Miura, and Five.10 shoes, like the Anasazi, - I wear a 39.5 (I think that's a US Men's 7). My street shoe is a US Men's 9. In this shoe, I downsized to a 38.5 and honestly if I bought another pair I'd probably go at least down to a 38. I'm not a masochistic climbing nerd either. Despite what this sounds like, I don't like painfully tight shoes, but something about the downcurve and the wide-ish toe box on the Solution creates a lot more space, so I need to downsize more than normal to get a snug fit. Killer shoe. This thing is the evolution of high-performance climbing shoes.

I just got these shoes, so I haven't had a chance to really batter them yet, but so far I'm impressed. They fit true to size but feel a little snug at first -- like any skate shoe -- because of the heavy tongue and ankle padding. For me the fit is perfect, especially since I like to leave my laces loose. The material is pretty burly leather but it's still nice and supple. The sole is flexi and sensitive. So far, I'm impressed.

This thing is off the chain. I dig the subtle DC logo all over this hoodie. So Sweet.

The Viper is another great slipper from La Sportiva. I wear a size 10 street shoe and a 39.5 fits true-to-expected for this level of performance shoe. I wouldn't size down more than that. A half size up for me would make this a good warmup shoe but probably not a go-to for more difficult problems. Others may be more comfortable with that half-size up, though any larger and you really lose the intended benefits of this shoe. Also expect this shoe to stretch a half to a full size, so downsize accordingly when you buy. This shoe will be an awesome higher performance all around shoe, excelling on both technical vertical terrain as well as steeps. The last on the Viper also makes this a very precise shoe for toeing into pockets and on small edges. Great value, great performance, super comfortable for the performance level.

I really like these socks. They are super breathable, comfy, and padded in the right places without being overly bulky. I'm disappointed by the sizing though. I wear a Men's 9.5 / 10 and according to the size chart that makes me a Large in this sock, but the socks are big. When I pull them on I get that annoying excess heel pouch above my heel because the socks are too long for my foot. Next time I will order a medium.

Dude - these are so fly all the honeys stick to me. They're full-on chick paper yo. The quality is way better than I expected. Lenses and frames are both solid and the black n blue frame & lens combo is killer. My eyes get so chill behind these things. They're like morphine for my eyes.

I get mad props with this flat baller cap. Keep that brim flat son. The RVCA VA logo is embroidered all over - ladies can't keep their hands off. ow!

This hoody rules. I love the quilting, the heavy weight, the hood size is just right - not too big, not too small.

My wife has this jacket and she loves it. She wears it climbing all the time and it has held up incredibly well. No rips, no snags, the insulation keeps her warm on even the crispiest late fall days in little cottonwood or the gnarly cold winter days climbing out at Ibex. The jacket is true to fit, the hood is just the right size (not too big, but not so tiny you get neck cramps), and the zippers have held up to tons of abuse. If we still have this jacket in stock when my down jacket blows up, I'll definitely snag one for my self.

Nice casual shirt. The picture makes the sleeves look like dumbo ears, but I think they must have pinned the shirt back or something for the photo.

I like these socks a lot. They are comfy and breathe wellThey barely show above the tops of my shoes, which is sweet. The sock is definitely cushy. The only thing I'd like to see improved upon is to make them a little more low-profile around the foot, but for a midweight sock, this is to be expected. They fit a little snug in my normal shoes, so it would be nice to have a little less material around the foot, but I suppose that's the trade off for the cushion. Overall, great socks.

These pants 're all like "yo, wassup rockers?" Word son. But then I skated in them for a few hours and my johnson was all like "yo, wassup rip in the crotch." no, fer reealZ. these cords rulez it. but they really did rip in the crotchal area after a few hours skating. these kats returned them for me no problem and i was torn (no pun) cuz I wanted to get more but wasn't sure if they'd rip again or not. So anyway- I think the pants are rad, great fit, great feel, nice stretch...but they didn't work out so great for me. If you aren't gonna skate in them, I'd say get them.

These shoes are comfortable, casual or dressy, and classic. What more might i say? The fit seems accurate (I wear with socks mostly but without socks they still fit fine). The white color has some navy blue detailing around the toe and side (where the top material meets the rubber sole material).

This belt has become my staple. All my other belts are bummin'. Looks nice, fits nice. Rugged material. the white one that I got was a bit more distressed than I thought it would be based on the pic, but it looks dope so I'm no complainin'

The color of this belt seems a little more tan than the picture leads to believe. The buckle actually allows you to reverse this belt (the other side is solid without the pattern). This same buckle feature also allows you to adjust the belt on both ends so you don't look like a dork with a 12-inch tail hanging off the end of your belt (unless that's how you roll, dawg). I like the belt - it's simple but versatile - looks good dressy or keeping your sag perfectly placed.

Can you say prep-star? Be the geek all the ladies drool for. The fit is relaxed, the cut is long, and there are enough subtle seam details that the discerning eye will know these arent some dime store generics.

this shirt rocks. The fit is regular but a bit longer, which I like...there's nothing worse than washing a new shirt, pulling it on, and realizing the bottom of the shirt ends an inch above your belt. Ex-specially if you rockin the mad sag like this player. Did I mention? The material is super soft vintage feeling, without being all threadbare 'n shiz. slay it

I bought these for a trip to mexico (dark khaki) and they pretty much rule. The fit is good - snug at the waist (no crack attack) and just baggy enough everywhere else. The wax comb in the pocket also has a bottle opener which is pretty much the only reason i kept the come in the pocket. most important reason why these shorts are tizzight - they are lady killers. you won't go wrong.

I have to admit, I was cynical of these socks at first. The hefty price tag didn't seem worth it, but as promised, these socks are pretty rad. At first I didn't buy the whole story that they would keep my feet cooler and more protected, and at first, they didn't. My feet were sweating like a dirty cop at an Internal Affairs investigation; BUT I washed them a few times and now they do actually keep my feet super comfortable and cool. And, despite the heavy washings and lots of abuse (mostly skateboarding - not hiking) these socks still maintain their original shape, support, and cushion. My feet feel better in these socks and they seem to perform better. The support is killer. It's like having a comfortable compression band around your whole foot and ankle.

I bought this hot hoody for my honey, and now she's a hot hooded honey. The fur is fly, and the lining in this thing is also swank—like old-school hoodies used to be—which makes the thing very warm.

This hat fits snug. I have a tiny pin head, and I got the small size, and it fits tight. The fit wasn't what I originally expected, the earflaps are shorter than I thought they'd be and the hat feels and looks like an old-school football helmet or a WWI bomber helmet, especially with the huge headphones on the sides. The large headphones work well and are more comfortable than most. The mute button on the side is a very nice feature. I use it to be less of an antisocial dick around my friends. The padding doesn't seem like it would do anything at all, other than make me feel more badass, which it does. This thing is the best headphone beanie I have tried on. I can't wait for the Audex Bluetooth version.

This hoody is so dope I got high just from putting it on. The front pockets have zippers, which is killer for skating, snowboarding, urban mayhem etc...where you really don't want to lose your car keys and your wallet. Just to give you an idea of how much I like this hoody, it's 99F outside and I'm wearing this thing around. The style gives me an intergalactic space chubby, and the construction is tight. All the stripes line up perfectly, like it's a designer dress shirt or something, HAHAHA. My only complaint is that the hood isn't Darth-Mal sized; it's a little snug but considering the rest of the package, it's well worth it.

The DropZone reigns. If you're looking for a well-designed standard-sized pad, this one kills it. The flap is dope-simple. The foam is the best...it's stiff enough to suck up the big drops, and it doesn't degrade like a lot of other pads on the market. The only step up is the Franklin Mondo, but that's a whole other ball game.

The Velcro is hands down the best performing rock shoe on the market today. If you're looking for comfort, this is not the shoe for you. If you're looking for maximum sensitivity and power transfer, you found it. My biggest complaint is these things last about as long as a condom at a safe sex convention...uhh...you get the idea. If Five Ten could make a shoe that performed this well and didn't fall apart after 3 months, there'd be no reason to buy anything else.

...if only I could afford it. This may be the single coolest piece of outerwear I've seen this year. Leave it up to the Norwegians to slay it in an area where style previously just didnt exist...and to do it all AND push the standards of tech. I'm droolin.
