I just got these last season and love them. I am 5'7" 120 lbs and this is the only sport where I think a 'womens' ski does make a difference. I am aggressive but my skinny legs can only do so much to a ski. I have the 163cm length with BD 01 bindings(tele setup, the most amazing binding ever!). I ski almost exclusively in the backcountry in utah. I have taken these through all sorts of different snow and conditions, they are easy to turn and make me feel like I am floating on clouds. I can't compare these to too much b/c I haven't tried any other fat women's skis (only mens) but I have been very happy. Based on where I ski I think I would get a fatter ski the next time I buy some even if it had a little extra weight (like the kiku) but so far these are great all around skis.

I wanted a down jacket for the winter because I was sick of being cold but didn't want a really bulky one. I chose this over TNF Thunder because of price and at 800 fill it should be just as warm. I am 5'7" 125 lbs, could have gotten an XS but went with the S because it wasn't as tight around the wrists and I planned to use it more casually. It hits just above the hips which is fine for skiing, I would prefer a little longer for casual. I have worn it all winter and only put a shell over it when it was raining or snowing really hard or below 10 degrees. I started using it under my shell skiing and plan to take it backcountry since it packs so small. I wish it was fitted a little better but I love it anyway because of how warm and cozy it is. It does lose feathers but seems worth it because of how warm it is. I think it will stay warm for a few years even with the feather loss. I would definitely recommend this is you want a lightweight warm jacket for a lower price.

So these pants made me a north face fan. I have been wanting convertible pants and most have long shorts or capris whereas I prefer shorter shorts that are still functional. I am 5'7" 120 lbs. I compared these to TNF horizon but the shorts zipped off at the knee which I didn't like. They were lighter weight material than the porter though. Although nothing is perfect these came as close as I could find and were super cheap. I had to order a 6 (up one size) reg length in the brazil nut green. The color is nuetral, the length hits right at the floor (I have a 32" inseam) and the shorts are mid thigh and sit on the hip not the waist. I took these to moab and I was sold. It was 70s during the day and 30s-40s at night. The shorts were long enough I could use a climbing harness without them sliding under the leg strap and slightly stretchy so I had freedom of movement. At night I put on the legs and was super warm and comfortable. Plus they do roll to capri length and they have a cord in the waist so no belt is needed which was nicer than I expected. Only con: they are a little thicker material than I would like but they wick moisture and dry really fast when wet (from perspiration) and I will probably be less likely to tear them. Although there wasn't much wind it did keep out the little we had at night. Also, with the pants zipped on I could feel the zipper portion but the ease of not changing from shorts to pants made that hardly noticeable to me and less to pack. The pros outweighed the cons and I will definitely buy these again!

i like how functional this skort is. the fume color is really cute and matches everything. i am 5'7" and usually wear a small, i have this in a 4 and it fits perfect and falls a little more than halfway down my legs. the slits are helpful for movement but do reveal more than expected when sitting, good thing there are shorts under there!

So I love the look of this top. I would normally wear a small at 5'7" 120 lbs but opted for a medium b/c this shirt does not stretch at all. It does hit more at my waist than my hips which I don't mind and I can get my thumbs through the holes but never use them. I fit into the small but it did restrict movement in my arms and was very very fitted. I wouldn't be able to fit much under it. It is also more of a performance fabric and isn't super warm. Overall I really like it, especially the side zip and it will be great as a nice shirt to throw over a tank or something.

this tank was cute and fit okay. I am a small at 5'7" 120 w/a small chest and the small was perfect. I didn't like how it didn't have an internal shelf bra though so I will go with a different style like their joy tank.

cute tank. the sizing chart seems correct, I am a size 34(A) and the small fits nicely. I could squeeze into the xs but it wasn't as comfortable. The one thing I don't like about this tank is there is no internal shelf bra but other than that the cotton is comfortable and the green color is attractive.

So I debated for a while whether to get these b/c so many people had problems with the button coming off but i decided to ignore that and try these shoes knowing that backcountry has an awesome warranty if I did have problems. I got the cub in a 7.5 which is exactly what my foot size is. I almost exchanged for a 7 because they felt loose when I first tried them. The button is connected with elastic so it gives while walking but my heel never comes out and I am really glad I stuck with the 7.5 because my foot is really comfy in these. The only downside is there is not tons of padding and cushion so when walking a lot I can feel the ground but they are still comfortable regardless. I have not had any problems so far and get tons of compliments on these shoes.

So I didn't really believe the previous review about the sizing however they are correct. I normally wear a small (5'7" 34A) but it was too tight in the arms which made it hard to move and pretty short in the torso so I went with the medium orange. It is a little looser than I prefer but really comfortable. I love the color and it seems like it has great ventilation. I haven't been able to ride in it but I have loved all my previous fox jerseys so I am hoping this will be the same.

These shorts work great. They are lightweight and comfortable. I bought the charcoal size small. I am 5'7" with about 39" hips and they fit a little loose. I hate attached bike shorts b/c they never sit right so I cut out the inner short and just wear a pair of spandex shorts I like. These hit about mid-thigh on me which I like, sometimes they are shorter than my spandex while I ride. This short is not heavy duty but they protect me while freeriding, which is why I bought them. I prefer just spandex but they are not ideal on rugged downs. I haven't torn these shorts or been scratched up where the shorts are[just everywhere else =) ]. The only downside is I wish they had better pockets, maybe a cargo on the leg or something to hold stuff while riding. I haven't lost anything but I don't trust them. Overall I really like these shorts and with the inner liner removed I can wear them around town and they are comfy and attractive too.

I just thought I would mention if you plan to mount these with a tele setup to beware that these skis are thinner than most tele specific skis(since they are not technically for tele). My husband had the Mantras and when they were mounted the person dimpled through the bottoms. The guys at black diamond mounted mine with the 01 binding without issues but advised me of the above info. Just make sure whoever mounts them tele style knows what they are doing! They ski everything great and are loads of fun.

My boyfriend finally chose these after searching for bike shorts for a few months. He is super picky...he likes his spandex tight so things don't move around or chafe when riding and a chamois that doesn't feel like a diaper but has enough padding and padding in the right places. He does 50-100 mile rides a few times a week, usually mtn biking and he says these are the most comfortable shorts he has tried. He is 5'10, 210 lbs, 36 waist and has pretty big thighs but goes with a medium even though he wears a L or XL in casual clothing. (What's the point in baggy spandex!) He is muscular so nothing hangs over. Cons: the price, they are a little longer than he likes (I think these are 8" or 9") and the seams of the chamois come undone after a couple weeks of riding. I heard PI has a good warranty on this but I have just gone through the company I bought them from. If the seams didn't come apart so fast these would be 5 stars.

I really liked this dress but the white was a little too see through for my taste. I felt like I could read the tag that was on the inside of the hip. I am 5'7" 125 lbs and the small fit perfect. The length was about to my knees. If there was a different color available I would have kept it. It was a very flattering cut.

i have noticed Volcom runs small. i would normally wear a small in most brands but the medium in this jacket was too tight, i couldn't move my arms. i am guessing large would have been better. really attractive rust color and style though.

these tights are great. perfect when it is the in-between weather. they allow great movement. i wear them cycling(road and mtn) and running. i wear a small and these fit true to size.

i agree with previous reviews. i didn't like this sweater when i first saw it but it is amazingly soft inside and the design on the front and sleeves is really cute. i usually get a small but got it in a medium for a good deal and it fits great. the arms and length are a little longer than i think the small would be.

cute skirt! it looked longer and more fitted in the picture but this came just to my knees and has a straight fit, which i preferred. it wraps around just like it says and looks awesome. fit true to size, i wear a small in prana and that is what i ordered.

i always liked aviators but they were always too big for my face. i have these in silver gray polarized and love them. they fit a smaller face and have great coverage in all directions. they fit close to the eye but do not fog.

these are my new favorite shorts. i had the trinity shorts previously and liked those but this short is more flattering and a little shorter but still functional. i thought the sizing was right on, i have a small which is what i usually buy in prana.

i really like lole products. these pants are true to size, i have a small in two colors. they lay very nicely around the waist and hips. the natural is a little see through but not too bad.

i really like prana tops and fit into a small. the material for this top is thicker and seems to make me look flatter than i am and was a little baggy under the arms. i think it would be more flattering if i could fill it out however i liked the style and the built in bra.overall it is really functional.

i liked this sweater. it is warm and soft. i usually wear a small in prana and this fit just fine. i can see getting a medium though just to have a baggier sweater. it is long and slimming which i liked but didn't expect from the picture.

this sweater is so warm and comfy. i have this in a medium fume color. it is a little baggy but i can wear shirts under it which is nice. i usually wear a small and i am sure that would be more fitted. also, it is thick enough that it doesn't let much wind through.

i really like this skort. it is almost to my knees and looks professional. it is really lightweight and comfortable for wearing casually. i wear a small in lole and a 4 in this skort. i like the chocolate color, i also have it in black.

this is the best turtleneck i have ever had. i have this in three colors. it is soft and fitted. the material seems thick but feels really lightweight. i usually wear a small but the x-small fit good also, just a little tighter around the midsection.
