I love marmot, and I own 6 of their jackets, including this one. The photon is very waterproof and windproof. warm for spring and fall or a cool summer night. The pockets are large, as well as large inside pockets(no closures and the opening is small, but overall pocket is very big) along with the hood. The only bad things I have to say about it, is that its a bit short for my liking, I'm about 6 foot 150lb, and I got a medium. The other thing, the pit zips have really small openings, only about 6 inches. overall a good jacket.

I never thought id think that of a skate shoe. i have owned nothing but skate shoes for at least 10 years now, and have yet to ever have a problem with a single shoe. I do have somewhat wide feet, but nothing crazy. i bought 11 1/2s, and it was unbelievable how tight the toe section was! i had other friends try them also, they agreed. it took me easily a week to make it withstandable, and after a month they are still tight. and i have two pairs, they are both that way. if you are going to buy them, definitely make sure you are able to try them on first. Globes first disappointment for me

I own 6 Marmot jackets, none disappoint, and this one is no different. I have the Hedge color, and its a great deep green, it looks great! The large pockets and great hood are also spot on. The waterproof and windproof factor are not lacking in the least. The pit zips are huge, and the large front pockets are mesh inside, so they work as ventilation as well! Great Jacket!

others suggested to get a size smaller and got screwed! i'm about 170 and 6 foot, went with a small. it was ok until i washed it. fits good around the body, but it's too short!

I love this jacket, and every other Marmot products I own, they do no dissapoint! I planned on buying it just for those extra cold days snowshoeing and winter camping in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This jacket has made its way into my everyday coat! I never feel i get to hot or to cold, great for -20 and 40 degree days, with just a T shirt underneath. size/length is great!(i got a M, im 5'11, 160ish) and biggest/best hood ever! My ONE and only complaint, the arms are lacking adequate insulation, maybe its just mine? BUY IT

Well if you already have the Katadyn and need a replacement ceramic filter, there you go. Ive never had problems with my getting 'gunked up', since the pre-filter on the end of the inlet tube usually helps keep most of it out, but the ceramic disc is great for murky water non-the-less.

What youd expect...a replacement filter for your Katadyn. I wish they werent so pricey, but they do last for along time.

perfect size for a long day hike, and with a water purifier you are good as long as you can find ground water. The only complaint is i wish the lids were different, they can be tough to get loose. still 5 stars.

I've had mine since me and a highschool buddy when to Isle Royale National Park in the middle of Lake Superior back in 2001 for a 11 day trek of the Island. it worked like a charm the whole time, and to this day I have yet to clean, or do any maintenance to it, and it still works like the first day I got it. If only everything else in the world could be made so perfectly. Folds up nice, and stores in carrying case for minimal space and weight. The only thing different, is i have the pre-filled canister bottle version(which we didnt even use up 2 for both our meals, 3 times a day for the 11 day trip), and mine came with a Heat Reflectors, which BC states this one does not? Im sure its not to different.

I bought this just to add to my collection of outdoor gadgets, and didn't get around to using it right away. I've used many others by friends, mostly the 'Katadyn Hiker' model of filters, usually on week+ camping/hiking trips. This one blows it out of the water when it comes to GPM and ease of pumping, along with the ease of connecting it to water bottles; specifically Nalgenes, and Camelbaks. The ceramic filter is great to extend the life of the glassfiber/carbon filter. I highly reccomend this filter!

I have the Green colored one, i like the way they sowed the seams flat, great for backpacking. The logo is barely notifiable, which isn't a big deal, unless you want to show off your loyalty. I'm almost 6 foot 160lb, and the M fits well, not quite an athletic fit though.

This shirt is one of my favorite, the material is soft, and thin, great for summer. The I have the Brown with Blue goat, looks great. Only complaint, as with most BC shirts, the necks stretch real easy, and stay that way, which I'snt a problem unless you prefer a tight fitting neck, as I do.

I own my fair share of BCs Goat logoed products. This has is probably my favorite of the lot. The hat hits like a charm( its a S-M, my head has approximately a 23" circumference). The length and stiffness of brim is perfect. The depth of the hat is also just right, and the look and feel of the material couldn't be better. It looks cool, I've had more complements than I can count. I have the Brown, hopefully they replenish the color supply, I'll want another when this one, if ever, craps out on me.

I love the top in comparison to Nalgenes, east to hold, easy to open. I got the pink for my girlfriend in order to qualify for the free shipping, it was a good choice. She loves it and takes it to class and work with her everyday. It was small enough to fit in her bag(big purse), but give her enough liquid for the day. We had no problem with ours. Highly recommended if you aren't in the market for a large bottle.

Who ever thought you could get excited about a spoon, fork, spork, or a foon?? Well I didn't, until I received the Piranha. My girlfriend got annoyed when I tried to show it to her, she didn't seem to be able to its beautiful simplicity as I do. The foon is surprisingly lightweight and durable. The clip is nice, as well as the very left and right prongs are shaped like barbs on a fishhook, even grabs onto a piece of steak with ease! The best part is it being made of the Halulite which does not conduct heat, so no worries of burning your mouth after being in a hot soup like with your metal utensils. For under 2 bucks its a steal!

I never have had a Nalgene, i always perfered steel or aluminum bottles, but I added this to my order to boost myself to free shipping. Very glad I did. Extremely lightweight, durable, and does a good job of not holding smells(as long as you wash it after use). Being this is my first one, and its a BPA free, im glad i waited so long. The blue looks really good, i like the measurements on the side(which i never got with my metal bottles), and carries enough water for me and the dog for a good length hike. Highly recommended.

I just got mine in the mail, after having to return the large for an XL.(first thing ive returned after many purchases with BC.com and it was a breeze.) I usually wear a medium to a large, and even the XL is a bit snug(improper sizing is rare in most Black Diamond products from my experience), but will surely fit well after a few outings. The lining is very soft, and i figure it will do just fine on 0 degree days. I also love the velcro wrist straps, they are extremely easy to secure and adjust, while wearing the other glove. The full palm is leather, as well as the finger tips, they also added the snot wipe on the thumbs. I know they will hold up to a beating, they appear to be extremely durable, so as long as they hold up to the cold, they will keep the 5 stars.
