I ordered the large Strike Pressure suit because I generally wear a large t-shirt or hoodie. The fit wasn't right. The shoulders were way too loose and the pads would move around. Also the back panel isn't removable which is nice to have. Value is great but if you're getting one try getting a size down from your t-shirt size.

I picked this up because my old hydro pack was leaking and it was pretty small. This pack has an awesome bladder and bite valve. The quick disconnect works great to keep the bite valve from leaking all over you. The Nomad Pack has lots of useful compartments and pockets in well thought out locations. The fleece lined mp3 pocket is well protected too. Great pack.

Just got my Black Diamond Traverse Ski Poles for a backcountry trip to Idaho. Great Poles! The locking mechanism doesn't freeze up or slip. Way better than the Dakine twist lock poles I've used seasons passed. I don't have to take my gloves off to undo or thaw the Black Diamonds. I'm super stoked on these poles.

Love my Cutter Messenger Cable Lock. Thought the name was a little ironic but it keeps my bikes where I left them.

I love my Sombrio Pinner FRD Bike Shorts. They have a slimmer fit which is nice when you're moving and shaking out on the single track. The crotch doesn't get caught on the seat like other shorts i've used. The pockets are placed well and the pass pocket is a cool addition, it keeps your lift pass in a convenient out of the way place. These shorts are also very durable. Even after some gnarly crashes they still look good enough to wear out and about. Great shorts.

Got my Sombrio Pinner FRD Bike Shorts recently and I love them. The pockets are all put in the right places. Love the magnetic closures on the pockets too. Fabric has a great feel and looks great too. Belt loops let me keep my shorts up more efficiently since my ass disappeared.

I love my Sombrio Vapor Storm Jacket. It's lightweight and packable, so I always take it with me in my pack. It also seems to be very durable. I wore it for the entire ride of Porcupine Rim in Moab and I thought it was going to have snags and tears from trees and an over the bars blooper but the jacket came out unscathed. It's true that the inside could be more like the "dry touch" stuff but I usually layer for bike riding anyway so it's a non issue. Love this Jacket.

I got my Serfas Guppy Combo Mini LED Light for my fixed gear commuter bike. Now I know that the bad drivers can see me, hopefully they don't head towards the light. These really are great lights though. They are super easy to mount and remove so the don't get stolen while you're at work or in the coffee shop. Just pop them off and put them in your pocket.

The switchback 3 light is awesome. The light is bright and the battery charge lasts a long time. The charge time is pretty short as well. Princeton Tech sends the light with tons of stuff. There are three types of chargers included, one for home, one for the car, and one European for taking with you abroad. The light is a little heavy when mounted to the head but after a few minutes I barely notice it, and shouldn't cause any problems with your helmet as long as it fits and is adjusted correctly. I love this light and convinced my friends to get one as well.

I bought a size medium suit. I'm 6' tall and 175 lbs. It fits great. Everything stays were it should and it doesn't feel restrictive while riding. I've already fallen a couple of times in it and it has been worth what I paid. Those falls would have resulted in some nasty trail rash had I not been wearing the suit. Well worth it.

I tried these and didn't like them. They are like salty, sugary jello. They made me a little bit sick to my stomach when I ate enough to keep me going.

These tubes are a great value. They are just as good as any other tubes out there and they are less expensive. Who needs a $6 tube when you can get a $4 tube that does the same thing?

I like my Fox Racing Berminator Bike Jersey. It is quite a bit like a t-shirt in feel and style. It's more comfortable though. The fabric dries quite a bit quicker than a regular t-shirt. I'm bummed that I tore mine in a wreck on Porcupine Rim though.

I got this because my bike doesn't have a chain pad on it. I don't think I've ever seen a bike that this thing would even fit on. It was super long and super wide. I woudn't recommend it.

The Sombrio Sleaze Trucker Hat fits like a regular trucker hat. It's a great looking hat although the one I got wasn't the one pictured. I got one that had blue pinstripes and a white design. I didn't mind though because it still looks great.

Captain Skate Shoe's fit a big large and are lined with some time of fake leather or something that holds all the heat in and doesn't breathe well so my feet sweat a ton in them. Other than that these are pretty decent slip on shoes.

I got my Race Face Diabolus Grips in the middle of last season. I wish I would have gotten them sooner. They feel good in my hands as far as cushion but I also feel more connected with my bike because these grips lock to the bar they don't fee dead like traditional lock on grips.

Nasty LE Cycling Gloves might look nasty and they don't match but after putting them on I don't even care. These gloves fit great. I like the minimalist palm and cuffless fit. No stupid velcro to mess with. They feel like they have pretty good knuckle and finger protection. Can't wait to use them on the trail.

Captain Skate Shoe 's fit a little on the large size in width but the length is pretty true to size. These shoes are pretty comfortable despite the larger feel to them. They are just a little bit looser than I would like them to be but other than that I'm pretty stoked on them.

Mortar Shorts are a little bit slimmer fit but not tight. They fit pretty true to size and they look great. Love 'em

These Redemption shorts fit great. They have a slim fit but still fit loose enough that someone with big legs like myself and wear them comfortably. The fabric is soft and seems pretty durable. I'm definitely stoked on these.

But with this price you can't really beat them. It's always faster to change a tube than to patch on the trail.

I got the Twin Six Two Wheels Short-Sleeve T-Shirt cuz I just liked the picture on it. Now that I have the shirt I like it even more.

My step-dad thought I made the Twin Six Fly Short-Sleeve T-Shirt that I wore the other day. I told him I wished I had cuz it's a bitchin' shirt. I got mine in man size and it fits perfectly.

I'm wearing my Twin Six Flyers Short-Sleeve T-Shirt and a smile right now. All I could ask for was some sort of speech dictation software embedded in my helmet so I could do this while riding.

I don't drink but I can stagger around after a hard ride wearing my Twin Six Brew Pub Short-Sleeve T-Shirt and still pass a breathalyzer.

Twin Six Cross Short-Sleeve T-Shirt lets me "cross" dress after the cross race and not get any mud on my wedding dresses.

My arbor oak woodchuck t-shirt is super comfy, also I noted on the tag that this shirt is made from bamboo making it comfy for the planet as well, on top of all of that the lady friends love to touch it when I wear it.

I bought this shirt and wore it to work the same day as my coworker. We both looked really good.

Looks great, feels great, and it even smells good. It's also true that the ladies like muscles.

These pants fit super wierd. They are super tight in the lower legs and ultra big in the butt/hips area. I felt like I had to pull the larges up to my armpits so they wouldn't feel like parachutes. I'm 6' tall and 175 lbs. A medium would still fit over any clothing I was wearing underneath and would probably still be too big.

I'm a vegetarian and I tend to get hungry pretty fast especially out on the trail. Clif bars offer a more full feeling and the energy to go with that feeling. With other products I get an over sugared, sick to my stomach feeling. Not with Clif Bars.

The Apricot flavored Clif Bars are the bomb. They taste really good and they perform just like any other clif bar. I get hungry pretty often on bike rides and just throw a couple of these in my pack and I can go all day.

I got these Sombrio Jackal All Over Printed Bike Gloves to go with my all mountain bike and it has been a match made in heaven. Now I'm hell on two wheels.
