Gotta be honest--I had read a lot of great things about the CR-X, but I was way skeptical. But the sale price was only a bit more than what a pair of Under Armour winter tights might cost, so I thought, what the heck. I ran in them once, and all my skepticism vanished after the first mile. This is a really impressive piece of technical running equipment. I do a lot of hill running, and I could feel the difference the added support in the calves made uphill and in the quads downhill. Even on a flat road, my legs felt light, lean, and well-supported. After one run, they were my favorite tights. One small caveat: the crotch is a tiny bit long, and I usually have to stop every 5 miles or so to readjust and make sure everything is in the right place. But overall, this is a really exceptional piece of running gear and I would highly recommend it, especially for long-distance runners.

These went back--the cut is really odd, and there is almost too much fabric. Never wore them running, so I can't comment on the function, but the fit was definitely not for me.

This is so cute and so warm. Fits great over my big head and keeps it warm in chilly Wisconsin weather. One note: the size is on the bigger side, but the material is not very stretchy.

Warm, soft, stretchy, cute. This is a great winter hat. Thick enough to be warm, but just thin enough to fit under my bike helmet.

Nice, easy fit--lots of room to move. Definitely too long. I had to have mine hemmed (though I am also only 5'3"). But once the length was shortened, these are a great, comfy pair of jeans.

Wash is great, cute floral fabric around the inside of the waistband, a little embroidery on the back pocket. DEFINITELY order a size up. When I initially put them on I thought they would have to go back (even though I did order larger), but they do stretch fairly nicely after being worn for a while.

I also completely disagree with the "not impressive" review. The fleece is soft and comfortable, and looks great; the stitching is clean, the seams are smooth, and there is some cute embroidery on the logo. The fit is probably better for someone with a more athletic build--I have broad shoulders and a narrower waist, and I was absolutely delighted with the fit. For someone with a slight or petite build, it may be a little boxy in the shoulders. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 are the front pockets. They are a little on the small side, and as such they gape open rather than enclosing my whole hand. But overall, it's a great, sharp fall jacket (not quite winter material where I'm from), and a super value at backcountryoutlet.com's prices.

Great watch--clean lines, nice size, no huge gaudy logo. My one complaint is the wristband--it looks white in the photo, but is actually a cream color that looks sort of dingy in real life. But overall it's a great everyday watch at a good price.

Worth every penny. They look fantastic (though they are a tiny bit bigger than I expected), the bows are slender but solid, and the view through the lenses is crystal clear. Nose pads stay put unless I'm really sweating hard. Overall a great buy.
