Ok, not so silly. I recently grew out of my digital watch phase, but quickly realized that timing myself on an analog watch was downright silly. I had a tough time believing I could use one watch for running and only running, but this thing is great. Love the display - the "regular" digits are huge and very visible. The watch is very smart - lap, intervals and even just setting the date are cake with it. Has alarms and dual time zones, as well as some neat "data" features for personal reflection. Its incredibly lightweight, yet tough as nails. The watch band is a bit thin, but I guess that's what makes it unisex. Great watch, and a great price thanks to Backcountry's Geartrade account!

I LOVE this table. Actually got it as more of a grilling side table than any other use. Its a piece of cake to setup, tear down and clean. And its not afraid of hot things - won't melt. Its surprisingly sturdy, too, for how light it is.

I have the men's Redpoint, and got the women's for both my girlfriend and sister this past Xmas. It went over very well - with very high praise for the fleece-y pockets. Note, the men's version doesn't have fleece-y pockets! It has slightly more stylish lines/patterns than the men's version too.. but maintains the great compactness, insulation and water repellency its known for. The Redpoint is a terrific value - I wear mine in all but the coldest weather - at which time I zip it into a TNF shell and am ready for ANY weather.

I got this one thinking it was simply be a fleece that blocked wind, but its so much more than that! The warmth provided by the Tech jacket is terrific, especially when you feel how light it is. I often have to open the pit-zips - thank goodness those are there. Its bizarre to wear such a light feeling coat, yet have chilling winds whip around you instead of through you. Its ultra comfy, too, right down to the super soft cuffs on the sleeves. Looks very sharp, and has durable nylon everywhere in all the right places. The MH logo adds a touch of flash and turns alot of heads. This is a fantasic jacket.

These boots are absolute beasts. They feel bombproof, forget about waterproof! They are impervious to everything a New England winters have to offer - keeping feet warm and well placed on even the toughest terrain.

This shirt has quickly risen to "favorite summer shirt" status! I picked up the Ketchup, which despite its name is actually a very mellow color. I love the weight of this shirt - very light and breathable. It does not wrinkle very easily, and maintains a nice crisp look with a terrifically soft feel. I was "testing the waters" on this shirt to check out Mountain Hardwear's casual stuff - and I am thoroughly impressed.

This is a great looking watch. Feels and looks very well made. Unfortunately I cannot wear it yet - adjusting the watch band is beyond comprehension and there is no instruction on the task. I am taking it to a jeweler to get some advice and will update this review later. For now the watch sits in its box looking pretty.

I am very pleased with the SS - I picked up both blue and white, and must say they are very good performers at high temperatures. They have a very athletic fit - more so than I expected. My only complaint is that the blue is almost shiny - not quite as 'flat' colored as I thought it would be. Still, the shirts are very comfy (have to get used to a tighter cut) and keep you cool.

Its warm, its soft, and its a steal in the Outlet! Does its job perfectly.

I am very pleased with this jacket. Its a terrific fit for running, and is a knockout for elements protection. It is very warm but breathable, while doing a nice job at keeping wind and weather on the outside. The reflective logos are a huge plus for night time activities. I enjoy this jacket so much that I'm wearing it for leisure as much as for sport!
