Its a steal at this price
05-07-08 ![]() |
These socks are exactly what they claim to be...comfy, durable, high quality merino wool. For 3 pair at this price, they are a steal. Get them! Size wise, I wear a 9.5-10 US Men's and got the S/M. Perfect fit. |

Sick Shoes

I got these as a race day shoe, and now wear them almost every day. they are super light and very comfortable. I sized down a half size from my Salomon's and the fit is perfect. They have virtually no break in period, and once they are worn out I know that they will make an excellent everyday shoe. They vent very well and keep your feet cool and comfy. I highly recommend them! |

Excellent piolet

This tool can make for a super light self arrest piece when ski mountaineering. I would recommend something around 65cm for those of us who are 5'9 to 5'11. Packs light and could very well save you from sliding over that 90 footer below you. If weight matter to you (like most of us that tour) then fork up the extra cash for the pro over the standard raven. You won't regret it. |

Great product for winter weather

This is the perfect solution to either a pack without hydration compatibility and to keep your water from freezing. The bladder and the hose are both insulated with a cap over the mouthpiece to insulate it as well. I use mine in my Black Diamond Covert pack. The Avalung is in one strap and the camelbak hose is in the other. Its a perfect backcountry system. |

These socks work very well for me. I wear a size 10 shoe and the L/XL fits great. For 3 pair of quality merino socks, this price is excellent! |

Excellent Backcountry Skiing Pack From The North Face

This thing does all that it claims to. The hydration compatibility is amazing. It carries skis and snowboards comfortably as well. I think my favorite thing about it is the back panel seat. The North Face really hit the nail on the head with this one. If you want a sweet pack, get The North Face Off Chute Pack. |

| Sanuk Fraid Not Sandal - Men's This product is no longer available |
Great flops
05-14-08 ![]() |
I ordered these about a month ago, and they turned out to be a great pair of flops. I went with the "orange" color, which turned out to be MUCH brighter than expected. The bright colors took a little getting used to, but once the shock effect wore off I really loved them. The footbed is super comfy, and they run true to size. |

Steezy...and super plush
02-13-08 ![]() |
These pants rock. I purchased them for warmer touring days, and they work great. They are a little thinner than your standard softshell jacket, but with a Teflon coating they still repel water very well. the inner thigh vent zips help keep your struggling legs cool while skinning or hiking to that big afternoon booter session. I recommend the grey logo color scheme for extra steeze. Heads up, they run a little long, but that's what you want right?? |

| Osprey Packs Argon 85 Backpack - 5100-5500cu in This product is no longer available |
Solid build from Osprey
07-06-08 ![]() |
I've always been a fan of Osprey, since the beginning really. I had an old Isis pack they made about 10 years ago that finally started to give out after a decade of abuse. Osprey really got back to their roots with this pack. Innovative, yet classic. This pack has every feature you can imagine in a larger sized pack. I really like their more traditional suspension system in this one. The Aircore in the Atmos takes away a lot of volume. They definitely fixed that problem here. I think this one will be around for a while. Get it, and you won't be disappointed. |
