I own 4 of these bottles to make sure I always have one with me. I love how durable they are. The water doesn't get that funky taste that plastic will sometimes give after sitting for awhile. Also, I can use it for spirits and not worry about the flavor staying in the bottle. |

Backcountry.com Luft 800 Down Sweater - Women's

This sweater is one of the best constructed of its kind. Definitely competes with other jackets I have owned that are from other, more known brands. The fit is very feminine and the "puff" is not existent, especially for an 800-fill. I purchased it as a layering piece for under my hard shell (keeps me extremely toasty) but now find myself wearing it around town, too. It is absolutely one of the most practical, versatile and fashionable pieces I own. |

These are very warm and comfy boots. I have been impressed with the way they have held up so far this winter with cold temps and tons of salt. They fit true to size and almost a little snug. A thin sock is all I can wear with these boots. |

The Copper Spur is an extremely lightweight and roomy tent. I used it for car camping and we were able to fit a full air mattress, two people and our gear with plenty of room. For backpacking, this could easily fit three people. The vestibules offer plenty of space for gear. The set up is completely painless. I have yet to use the tent without the fly (which is also foolproof to put on) but I am sure it will be a great summer tent to view the stars in. |

Nice basic pant

These pants are a perfect waterproof pant. Marmot's material and seam-taping make them perfect for rain or snow. Using them with a light under layer is perfect for cross country skiing. They do fit SMALL. I wear small in most other brands but their small was a little tight with my long underwear. |

These boots are amazing! Not only do they keep your feet super toasty and dry, they are very comfortable. I never knew I could enjoy shoveling the snow. I recently wore them snowshoeing in Yellowstone and they really proved their worth. Excellent purchase. They do fit big, though. I purchased my regular size and they were big so I compensate with a thicker sock and that does the trick. |

I purchased these gloves on a whim, thinking they could be a back up glove in my car and now they are my go-to for everything. I wear them skiing, walking, driving, shopping, you name it. They fit snug so I still feel dexterous. The only reason they are receiving 4 starts is because the sticky goats on the inside are already peeling off after owning them for a month. |

Orage Maria Jacket - Women's

This jacket is all fashion and a bit functional. It fits great and looks great on and off of the mountain. It has saved me from the elements but isn't as warm as some 3-in-1 jackets. I do wear an additional 1-2 layers, depending on the temps. The liner jacket fits nice and is a cute piece on its own. I prefer to wear the liner not snapped into the shell because it is almost impossible to take off and on when they are hooked together. The hood is big enough to fit over a helmet and rolls up for when you need it out of the way. |

This is a sick bag. I use it daily to carry my laptop and such to work. I am constantly beating it up and it is holding strong. The fabric is really easy to clean, which is great for me. Plus, there is tons of extra room and multiple pockets for holding all sorts of goodies. |

This glasses are fabulous! I feel super stylish while fishing or cruising on the lake in them. They hold on to my head nice and snug, so I never feel I might loose 'em. The polarization in them is great, just as most Spy glasses are. |

These boots are highly durable and waterproof. The Vibram sole keeps your feet happy after a long trek. They do fit very narrow. I have wider feet and had to finally give them away, which was a bummer because I think they are a very well made boot. |

This tent is an all around awesome tent. I have had it for 6 years and beat the crap out it with no repercussions. It has kept me dry in summer snow showers in the Sawtooths and kept me cool in the heat of Moab. It packs in light and compact able. The room is amazing. It fits two people and a dog, no problem. |

I have had this pad for years and I absolutely love it. It is incredibly comfortable all night long. I have learned that it is helpful to add more air right before bed and then I am good to go for the night. Plus it packs down super small so it hardly takes up any room in my pack. |

0.75 Thermos = Hot Water
08-16-08 ![]() |
This thermos is magic. I can make tea first thing in the morning and it is still piping hot mid afternoon. I bought one for my friend who works outside all winter and he says the guys on the job site are always jealous of his hot coffee come lunch time. I haven't had any problems with leaking, either. This is a must have for cold winters. |

This is a cute and comfy tank. It fits nice and loose so it keeps me cool on the hot summer days. Do not put it in the dryer. I put it in the dryer once and I don't think the material has been the same. Now I just hang dry it and it seemed to help. |

These are totally retro and funky. I love them. They are perfect for a day on the river. Make sure to where something under them at all times, as they are extremely see through. |

This shirt is extremely comfy and I love the colors (I got the Army Green.) It is definitely men's sizing, however. I ordered a small and now use it for a night shirt. XS fits me good, though. |

Cornell Bermuda Short

These shorts fit SUPER small. I wear size 6/7 in everything and I couldn't even get these zipped. I purchased the Eggplant color and they were WAY more plaid than they look on the site. They seemed that they could be comfy but make sure you size up. |

Grosella Tank Top

The Grosella tank top is stylish and comfy. I can dress it up with some tight jeans and heels or dress it down with shorts and sandals. It hugs nice and tight up tight and flows right over the waist. I would also recommend going a size down. |

Donna Shoe
08-16-08 ![]() |
WOW! This is the most brilliant "shoe" I have ever owned. I absolutely despise wearing shoes but sometimes you just have to. The Donna shoe is so light that it feels like you are barefoot. Plus, the sole perfectly hugs your foot. I put my sandals aside this spring and wore the Donna until I absolutely had to switch to sandals. |

Flutter Jacket: Stylish and Practical

The Flutter Jacket is very stylee and keeps me warm on cool summer nights. I think it will serve as a great layer in the winer, as well. The shoulders are a but broad, which looks a little odd but it's not too noticeable. The waist hugs tight, which I really like. Overall, a great jacket. |

Reef Butter Sandal: Cute and Comfy
08-16-08 ![]() |
I have always loved Reef sandals and these are right up there with the rest of them. They make me feet happy with their ultra-comfy foot bed while wearing a cute summer dress at the lake or walking around the office. They are a little more slippery on the foot beds than other Reefs I have owned, hence the 4 stars. |

This tank super cute, comfy and stylish. It fits in all the right places and doesn't rise up on my hips, which is key for hiking. It also gives you great support with the racer back. |

This dress is incredible. I have worn it to dinner with high heels, to the farmer's market with flips and the pool as a bathing suit cover. I have never had a dress look so fancy one day and so casual the next. Plus it hugs and flows in all the right places. I want it in every color!! |

These pants are super rugged but extremely comfortable. My sig. others builds decks all winter and did not take them off the entire season. They are still ready for another rough winter. Plus, they are so comfortable that you can wear them out to dinner or the bar after work. |

I have got a ton of use out of this monitor. It's user-friendly and very accurate. I like that it is still fairly feminine compared to other watches out there. |

These shorts are super cute but super small. I would recommend getting a size bigger for sure. The style is adorable, though. I really liked the thicker waistband with the V cut out. |
