I have 2 of these and am contemplating buying more. I's the first one I reach for each time I go ride. I love how it fits closely but doesn't cut in anywhere tight and the cap sleeve is really nice espeically if you have any muscles in your arms. Plus, the cap sleeve eliminates that gnarly farmer tan line. Amazing fit. Descente rocks!

Man, I loved these so much right out of the package. They are sooo cute, and I wanted a cute pair of baggies for mountain biking in. The design is really cute, the pockets are great with the no show zippers and seaming and the fabric is a really nice, water shedding microfiber. unfortunately, I ordered the samll and it wasn't small enough. there is velcro tabs on the waist to adjust but then it ended up being to baggy for my 5'3" 115 pound frame :(

I tried a pair of these for the first time on a grueling 42 mile hike with 12K of elevation gain. I had never used hiking poles before but I was so glad I had them. They helped me so much on the uphill and also when I was getting woozy and clumsy from altitude and fatigue. Waht's nice abou the Leki's is that hte inside webbing straps on the handles had a nice soft lining so my wrists didn't get all chafed.

I backpacked the Tetons with my 2 sisters and she had this bag. She raved so much about her Big Agnes that it was almost like we had a fourth person on the trip, named Agnes. When she gets the sleeping pad inflated and the bag set up in the tent, her bed looks so comfortable and plush, making my little mummy bag look completely pathetic and was dwarfed by Agnes. the bag was really roomy for her too and she could sleep in the fetal position easily while I was limited to one position in my bag.

I just love Keens. These are great versatile shoe with a little more support due to the thicker sole. They look really cute with skirts, shorts, capris and are just so easy and casual!

nice base layer with a nice smooth feel to its fabric. it has lots of venting in the areas where you tend to sweat and is cut to move with you.

these are so cute they qualify as an accessory. A much better choice than filling up the landfill with plastic bottles, and also you get to avoid those nasty chemicals in the nalgenes. on a hot day tehy keep your water really cold!

best school backpack I've ever had. How cool is it that it has a cooler pocket! it's also got a super nice pocket for sunglasses, the exterior water bottle pockets, a nice pocket for pencils, etc. they thoguht of everything!

I had no problems like the other poster described and I really put these socks to the test in a 24 hour race, of which I was on my feet constantly. They held up very well, did not get stinky and I have since done some really long 20+ mile hikes in them with no problems. I love the fit, they tend to make your shoes fit a little better with their light padding/cushioning. cute goat on the back too.

Really lightweight and comfortable. i ran in these on a really hot day and couldn't believe how light and airy they felt without riding up or showing too much leg.

fashionable and toasty warm. 'nuff said!

comfy, cute, doesn't wrinkle and just like the description says, you can dress it up or down.

Awesome shoes! i love that they have a little more cushioning for those times when you have to cross a few roads or run on really hard pack trail. lots of stability and they protect your feet well

These shoes perform like crazy. I felt no fear stomping over jagged rocks, uneven terrain, or loose scree. The exterior of the shoe protects the sides of your feet as well and the low profile meant I never rolled my ankle! Unfortunately they were too narrow in the toe box area, and I need a wide toe box. Customer service was awesome about taking my shoes back even though I had worn them to try them out.

This is an essential winter jacket if you live in the mountains and ever have to do any kind of work outside. I like the abrasion resistant canvas material that doesn't get all messed up when I load up my arms with firewood. It blocks the wind nicely.

comfy and nice shirt. Good for casual days at work or to throw on under a jacket when you are running out to collect firewood. i have the mustard color and the green one. good staple to have.

I've long been a fan of castelli jerseys. they fit really, really nice and fabric is buttery smooth. I love that this one stood up to a couple washings without shrinking 4 sizes and becoming a half shirt like my other jerseys have!

I finally found a big pair of shades that doesn't look ridiculous on my small face! I wanted a fashion pair to cover up more of my face to protect from the sun and after trying many, these were the winner!

Took this on a backpacking trip. I thought it was like all the other meals where you just pour water in the bag so I was really disappointed when I read that I needed a skillet. Needless to say, I was not real impressed after hauling it around for a couple days.

LOVE my camelbak dream pack. Great fit and lots of pockets to carry tubes, tools, snacks etc. My favorite part is that it has the external bungy cord so I can stach my extra layer and forget about it.

really comfy next to skin and warm! i use mine for running and snowboarding as a layer. My only beef with it is that it is hard to put other layers over it because the fabric tends to cling to the other layers so i look for a more slippery layer or a heavy fleece to wear with it. I wear about 4 layers though. It's a top quality piece and I own at least 3.

I like the size and look of this bag and that it look so different from all the other bags out there!

nice for backpacking becuase it's light and easily packed and reasonably comfortable.

super thin material, they dry really quick, no chafing...you really can't go wrong with patagonia

I got htese for my husband and he raves about how great they are. he was wary of the ratchet but loves how it makes the shoe fit! he also really likes the air flow.

i love these. they never hurt or give me blisters or make me sore after walking in them too long. the strappy design is also a little more dressy than regular flips.

I love the fit and the feel of this shirt. I love the length...I find a lot of tech tees to be short and wide. I have it in green and white and even though the white is see through, it doesn't really matter if you're wearing a sports bra . I love that it looks like a regular tee even thoguh it's not cotton.

really flattering dress! love the built in bra, the ruching at the front, and the fact that the material doesn't get wrinkly. I took it on a trip and loved that is was packable and the wrinkles shook themselves out after a short time. I advise sizing down if you are between sizes.

love the fit and the feel of the cotton of this dress. super soft, and a nice choice for hot days.

I've searched high and low for hydration to take with me on those hot long summer runs, and this has been the best. Very comfortable in my hand, nice little pocket to carry gels or shotblocks and the strap is adjustable, so you can make it nice and tight so you don't have to grip the bottle really tightly.

Like the velocitee shorts, this shirt is so thin and light you feel like you don't have anything on! Great for those really hot days on the trail!

you can never have enough ribbed tank tops. This one fits great, has a really cute design and I love the eco-friendly fabric. Fun to layer with a contrasting color

Such a great price for this pack. Love the pocket selection, and the pack carries gear well and fits nicely once you get it all situated and fit to your body.

everyone should have a down coat. they are lightweight, super warm, and easy to move around in. The north face nuptse down is awesome!

The canvas material on these is very durable. They are the perfect length to show some leg but not too much, and like the other poster said, they don't make your butt look huge.

Bought this for my nephew for his first long yosemite backpack trip. It is lightweight, kept him dry, and best of all, he liked wearing it.

threw these on my old mountain bike and it felt like I had a new bike! I cornered like I was on rails....no more washouts!

Love these socks...no blisters, just the perfect amount of padding in the right areas. I did a really long run in these on a 95 degree day and loved them!

Got these for my husband and they look great! The fabric is super durable so they can take a serious beating. The best part...the attached bottle opener! how many shorts come with a bottle opener!?

lightweight, easy to use, and makes yummy coffee. A must have...tote it over to your favorite rock to watch the sunrise.

I love multipurpose items. Thankfully, it doesn't bring back too many memories of elementary school cafeteria food. Fun to use, lightweight, and cheap!

This bowl is a perfect size and I found I can eat just about anything out of it...super lightweight and really easy to lick it clean :)

These chairs rock. They are sturdy and comfy and easy to plop yourself into after a long day of hiking, climbing, etc.

I've been buying these Legend boots for years. Northwave makes really high quality footwear with a 1 to 1 last which makes a huge difference..when you buy a size 7, both the outer and inner parts are a size 7, so there isn't any extra space, weight, and they don't pack out and get too big. The inner liner is easy to tighten and they really do mold nicely to your feet

these are just okay. I don't like how the DC boots have such a huge volume that they look like moon boots and don't fit in bindings that well. The outer shell is very wide and could be a lot less like a moon boot. I found the inner lace system was hard to get tight enough and then the little plastic piece would lock up so it made them hard to get off.

I love a great all around board and this fits the bill. soft enough to get you over the rough stuff smoothly but stiff enough to carve like a dream.

these are so adorable! I love that their dressy-casual-comfortable look. They go great with shorts, capris, skirts. I wouldn't wear them if I was going to be walking a ton because there is no arch so you feet can get a little sore but for wearing to work or around town, they are awesome

These git great and seriously protect your shoe from the rocks in the trail. Got these for my husband and he says they blow away all of his other trail shoes.

My climbing partner has this helmet and I'm always trying to steal it becuase it fits so nicely and comfortably. It doens't shift around which I really like.

this is so easy to use that you won't even mind having rope duty after climbing that all day multipitch climb. The trap is nice and big and doubles as a windblocker if you are stuck belaying and are freezing cold. I'm such a gaper when it comes to rope management but this bag makes it easy. two differently colored tabs so you can decide on which one is for hte bottom of the rope and which is for the top.

I love the no frills BD ATC. straightforward and simple and it's great to have just one piece that you can belay with and rappel on.

This is a great device for taking newbies climbing. i love the picture on the grigri that illustrates which way to feed the rope. i don't personally like it as a lead climber though, when I need rope in a hurry and the thing locks up as I try to yank the rope up! But it functions as designed. i find it a little bulky for multipitch climbing since you have to have your ATC with you anyways, it becomes an extra piece.

Nice, airy shirt, great for hot summer days.

This is a super comfy shirt! the cotton is really soft and smooth and the brown and pink color combo is cute. Ti's got a wide neckline too so it shows off your collarbones a bit but still keeps you warm with the long sleeves

This is a really cute shirt. There is a cute sparkly red rooster on it which is supposed to denote the "I LOVE ROSSIGNOL" The fabric is really nice and substantial, not like all these really thin shirts you get these days.

I love this type of fitting shirt. long enough to wear with your low rise jeans :) but slim fitting so you don't have to tuck it in

very strange, boxy fit. I like how it accommodated my huge shoulders though. the fabric is great though, that techy fabric looks like cotton and the v-neck is great for dumping heat.

When you're all covered in sweat and mud sometimes it's nice to have a girly shirt to feel, well, like a girl. Plus it's fun to pass the boys while you are wearing pink. This shirt fits an athletic body nicely and has great wicking properties. i like that the bottom hem is loose because it lets heat escape better than those jersies that are tight around the waist.

The toasters are just so cute and look great on so many women's faces. They are sporty yet girly. They are super lightweight and the interchangeable lenses are soo nice. They don't do a super great job of blocking wind though when I'm going really fast on my road bike, I have found

These are really nice glasses! I ended up getting the Method instead but these were just as great of a pair, but with my narrow face, the methods fit better.

These are so versatile. I love them for running, can wear them biking and love how cool they look. Also gotta love the polarized lens! very flattering glasses that work well on many face styles.

these are a great, universally flattering pair. not too big that you look like a nicole ritchie wannabe but big enough to shade your eyes completely and keep you from squinting. I've worn them for running in and they work well, but would not be good for cycling. I mostly like these just for around town but they work in a pinch for sports.

oh, man, these are really good. i love the chunks of banana chips and hte chocolate chips. easy on your stomach too.

these are a really great, all around climbing shoe. Great for jamming in a crack or smearing on granite. comfortable enough that I can keep them on all day.

I look forward every year to the day when it is warm enough for me to wear my chacos. you can wear these forever because they are supportive and they have great traction. i love to have them with me after climbing and even haul them up multi pitch climbs with me when i know it's goign to be a long downclimb and I don't want to trash my climbing shoes.

these should be a staple in anyone's flip flop wardrobe. they mold to your feet nicely and i love the colors they come in!

not my favorite sandals but I like how they give me a little bit more height because I'm short but they are casual enough to go with shorts.

these patagonia slides are great! they are so unique looking and so much more supportive than any of my other flip flops so I can wear them all day without the bottom of my feet aching

Really creamy and satisfying. I thought I would miss the fact that there was no meat in it but I didn't!

I love these! it's kind of a toss up between these and my Smartwools, but I like how these are so supportive. They just feel great when I put them on. Love the fabric and the flower too.

I don't think you can mess up a pair of bike gloves too much. these have ample padding and a good snot wiper on 'em :)

i agree with the other reviewer on the sizing. i have the small...ordered too big but will stick with them because they are comfy but def. too baggy. also a little too long, but the fabric is great and they have good pockets. They are really comfy and a little bit dressy too.

I love, love, love these! It always makes me smile to pull these cute socks out of my dresser to put them on and they perform like crazy. very high quality socks that feel awesome and work great

A must have if you do anything outside in the winter. Great base layer, you can't go wrong with these

I also found these to be a lot higher in the waist than i am used to but boy does it keep the snow out nicely. I like the fabric. I got them in an XS because they fit my waist and leg length perfectly but they are a little too close to the skin so I get a little cold. I think if I had sized up they would be perfect.

I have these in brown and khaki and love the style. they kind of look like a more feminine Carharrt. Great for bringing your mountain style to town. They have a good amount of stretch and a nice fit.

the fit of these are amazing...the denim has a ton of stretch but they don't stretch out to the point that they become baggy. They have a good, flattering boot cut and the double pockets are a neat touch. I love mine!!

Love the stretch fit of this hat! The shorter brim is perfect to not overwhelm your face and the flowers are a cute touch.

I ahve this in brown. Very cute! comfy to wear to yoga but also can hang when you go out at night.

i have this top in the raspberry color and I love it! It if fitted but not restrictive becuase the fabric is very thin and has a bit of stretch. The V neck keeps me from overheating. It doesn't shrink up all funny like my other synthetic shirts that seem to get really short and wide when i wash them!

I feel like a badass when I show up in town in these. they are also great for when I'm out working in the yard, cutting or collecting wood, or even for hiking. The guys get a kick out of seeing a girl in carharrts!

I've had other klean kanteens and didnt' really like the way the screw top fitted. Klean Kanteen seems to have improved the screw top for this bottle. Nice big size so you don't have to keep refilling. Love the goat logo!

bought these for my husband and he cannot stop raving about how great they are. they are great for crack climbing and edge really nicely.

Such a deal! you can't go wrong and these are nice tubes!
