Got this watch for a friend of mine, and I was shocked to see how heavy it was. Looks sharp too!

This light works very well, battery is a little heavy but whatever... that's the least of my worries. As long as it lights up the trail, which it does, i'm happy. Helmet mount is a breeze too.

I picked these up on Chainlove for a steal at $14.99. I heard about Sugoi and their great products but never experienced them first hand. Until now! The padding is nice and thick, the material on the shorts themselves is very nice, seems water resistant. And these are nice enough to wear out, then go biking. If they had zipped pockets, that would be about the only improvement I would choose for them.

I have these same Time carbon MXE's, but the older model, they look slightly different. Wanted another set, so I ordered these in the same size 45, I am a 10.5 ~ 11, and these new ones are too loose. If I wear my merino socks and double up on the sole, they are ok, but I worry that they will break-in and stretch. Sending them back, I guess Time's shoes vary. Thought it was a no-brainer since I had the same size/model, oh well, no 44's left now. Northwave, here I come.

No complaints! My feet don't sweat or stink, and they are comfy on the slopes. And also very comfy to wear in shoes around the house or at work.

I'm giving these a rating of 5, only because the shorts themselves are awesome. The padding is way nicer than the Fox Mid-Ranger's that I also own, lots of pockets and they look cool. The problem is that they run way small.... I ordered these as a gift for my friend in size XL. They aren't even close!!!! Fortunately for me, being a 34 waist, they fit me perfectly!!!

This is a review for the 12 volt car charger model boot-warmer, not the 120 volt. I used this product about 8 times this past winter in my ski boots, and they really make my boots nice and warm. The boots don't get hot, just warm. And warm enough to allow my feet to slip into the boots easier. Nothing like wrestling on a pair of cold boots - no thanks! My only gripe is that I wish they had an LED indicator to tell me if the unit was actually ON. But, if you are patient, unlike me, you can feel them after a few minutes and see that they are working.

Got these on Tramdock, and they worked out great for me this past winter season (and hopefully some of this spring too!). I have always used "regular" socks, and I'm glad I made the switch.

I really loved the look of these shades everytime they popped up on SAC. So i finally grabbed a pair. They feel great, vision is very clear too. My only gripe is that they are somewhat small. I don't have a big head at all, and on my friends' faces these are WAY too small. But overall, they are a 4/5 for me.

This is my first wax kit, and I'm doing just fine with it... at least I think so. :o) Now people are coming to me to get waxed. For $65 on Tramdock you can't go wrong.

This shell is great, it has some nice features like how the velcro can hold/cover the hood, water bottle holder inside the jacket, good size pockets. Nice and lightweight yet its pretty warm for what it is, and you can layer up nicely underneathe. I am 5'10" 183 lbs and I got a medium, couldn't be happier and i'm glad I read these reviews cause I would've tried a large to start off with. The Peat Moss green is a very nice color on this one.

These shorts are comfy, good padding, and at the chainlove price they are a bargain. I just wish there was a zipper for when I have to drain the vain. Also the carbon color is really nice.

I got this jersey the other day, its a very nice color scheme.... My wife said it looks great, but she didn't care for the half sleeve. So I roll it up unless I'm riding (for a little more protection when I dump it). The inside of the bottom of the jersey has a "sunglass wipe" which I thought was a cool bonus, the material breathes well. My only gripe is that for a large its somewhat snug on me compared to other large jersey's that I have tried on in the past. But its not too tight on me. I'm 5'10" 185 lbs.

I bought these to replace my LL Bean Wildcat boots, for snow and some hiking... The Wildcats were pretty much only good in snow, but they itched my calves horribly after walking for just a few minutes - no matter what socks I wear. I saw these on SAC for about $78, they looked okay, and had a few good reviews. Did a quick search and saw that Backpacker chose these as their top choice out of 110 different boots. Hmmm... Click! bought them in size 11. I normally wear 10.5 or 11, figured I'd go 11 so I can wear extra socks. First test - I wore them to work... all day long, at my desk, walking around, running up the stairs. They were comfy and I even got home and wasn't in a rush to take them off. Also, when I do take them off, they aren't a PITA to remove, they pretty much slip right off once I undo the top laces, unlike my other boots. Second test was this morning. -6°F and I went for a hike in the snow... was out for about 1.5 hours. NO ISSUES. These are keepers!!! For $85 shipped through SAC - they are a steal!

Works great, less filling. As the other reviews say, this brush does the job!

I have tried several different sets of headphones, with no luck. I absolutely hate the foam padded pieces that you have to squeeze with the other brand headphones, they kept falling out, etc. After reading so many positive reviews here I put the FMJ's on my x-mas list. My wife snagged them on Whiskeymilitia for a good price, and I am loving them. They fit well, sound well, and have the volume adjuster on the wire which is a bonus, along with the case.

I got these as a gift for my wife, and she loves them. They look great on her, not too large like most female sunglasses look nowadays... and she says the vision is excellent.

I was a little worried when I ordered this, since both my helmet and MTB shoes are larger than most. I have T.H.E. 's F14 helmet which is like a 1/2 helmet and the Adidas Plush shoes, which are like high-tops. The helmet fits in the center section of the bag. The shoes fit where the helmet is pictured in the ad. I have just about EVERYTHING in this monster; spare tubes, spare tire, tools, pumps, etc.... Granted, its quite heavy now that its fully loaded, but I know where all of my "stuff" is. No more "oh mang I forgot that at home somewhere!"

This is a correction to my previous review. The XCR 103's didn't last long for me. They started to squeak really badly, fitment was always an issue even at the store... took me 3 pairs before I found a pair that fit right. And then the rubber pieces on the bottom of the shoes started ripping off. North Face warranteed them, and sent me the XCR 104's. GET THE 104's !!!!!!! They are WAY better!

These are great, a huge improvement over their XCR 103's which I had issues with. North Face replaced them with these 104's and I absolutely love these. One feature I liked on the 103's was the front of the sneaker was very tough/hard, you could kick a rock and not feel it. These are a little softer, which is fine, but I liked the "steel-toe" effect that the 103's had. But I had so many issues with the 103's that I couldn't care less about the toe right now.

Fits well, cool design, sweet!

I originally bought these about a year ago, North Face's previous model (same name, slightly different design). I had a hard time getting a comfy fit at the store, the heel was tight on most of the right sneakers... Until I found a pair that I was happy with. I had those for about 5 months, one of them started to squeak really bad and the edges of the bottoms were falling apart. North Face warranteed them (YEAH!!!) and sent me these, so far they are a huge improvement. I use them for work, hiking, random stuff and they are holding up great. They do run a little large, I got 11's and they are a little loose, as I normally take a 10.5. But I'm still happy with them.

I have these gloves, and they rock. The additional liner gloves are a plus, which I use around town during the cooler times of the year. The gloves themselves are warm and comfy, a little awkward if I were to try to do stuff with them (operate a camera, get my wallet, etc), but overall they are sweet.

I've been using this pack for a while now, for hiking, MTB, skiing and just about everyday to bring my stuff into work. Unexpanded - it fits a decent amount of stuff. Within seconds its just about double the size. They need to make an Outlaw-Snowblast. :o)
