I got these on Tramdock for the upcoming 09/10 season, as old ski boots were packed out pretty bad and did not ride well on an all-mountain ski. I wear 6.5 shoe, and the 23.5 fit perfectly as a boot should, with my toes a little crammed in the front with medium weight ski socks. I like that these can be molded to your feet, and they are soft and comfortable. The buckles are all around adjustable for a perfect fit. Still summer but I am ready for that snow (will post a performance review this winter!)

This skirt is of a nice material and I love the pistachio color, but it is a little see through. I have to wait a bit to wear it, but just the feel of the material and the pockets makes me think it will be comfortable and airy, and have room for some golf balls. It does truly run big, so order a size down from your normal size; I am glad I did after reading the reviews before mine - it is still roomy even after ordering the size down but I can adjust that using the side tabs.

I love Simple brand and these flops are no exception. They are comfy and lightweight, and so far pretty durable. Lucky for me, they were on sale in my size! Note: If I remember correctly, the color in the picture is about 2 shades lighter than the actual shoe.

The vest was soft and nice looking in the bag. I got this vest in Cardinal, and it looks like the vest Michael Jackson wore in the 80's because of the black sides. The armholes are also enormous, so they stick out weird when I zipped it up over my chest (34B, not that big!) like I had on shoulder pads. I am 5'5", 120 lbs with a boy shape and the XS was ill-fitting, even a little big. The sides are weird because they're a stretchy black material. If you like a boxy shape then buy it, it looked to be made of quality material. But I sent it back.

I noticed these flip-flops irritated the tops of my feet. Not blister-wise, or too small, but just the material. I keep wearing them, hoping they will "break-in", but they turn the tops of my feet red. Then I saw the tag says Made in China. So, Chaco is a sellout, and their product is now low-quality with a high-priced name. Will look elsewhere for my footwear - Chaco is no longer quality as it used to be.

I agree, the waist is big. I take a small in about everything, and I should have gotten an XS in these because the upper part is almost awkwardly big. They have pull tabs but looked a little bunchy when pulled. But I think I will like the high waist for when I wipe out, and the pockets are promising.

These are super cute, and so far comfortable for me, but as it is winter I haven't been out of the house with them on. They don't have any padding support-wise, but I am one of those weird people who prefers no support (I run in Nike Free). As I said below I wear size 6 1/2 and am pretty true to that size, sometimes even 7 in Chaco's and Ulu, and these show in size 6 fit perfectly.

This helmet is nice! I have the white one. It looks a little big on your head, I kind of want to put some red circles on it and sport the Toad look; but I love it. The liner is kind of awkward and velcros in, but I haven't needed it yet; too warm here on the east coast even at night. I bit it hard 2 days ago and landed on solid ice right on the back of my head and was totally fine. Helmet remains fine too. I am glad I bought it.

I am a beginner, and the used boots I bought didn't cut it so I got these. They are great! They fit true to size, are so comfortable, kept my feet warm and allowed for good movement. I liked the inside lace system a lot. They made a huge difference. If you are a beginnner looking for comfortable supporting boots, buy these.

Wow, whoever designed this package had short arms, a box for a torso, and a big head. I am a normal sized woman, about 5'4" and 120 lbs. I even have shortish arms and a slender boxy, not curvy frame. This shirt fits like someone used a large paper bag as the template. I got a small, and the arms are short by an inch or two and the shoulders stick out past my shoulders. Then, the hat was huge. You would think small shirt/small hat, but apparently not. I gave it extra stars for the material, which feels like a soft sweatshirt. I snagged it on steepandsheap, so sending it back would be a waste of money on my part than to just keep the darn thing and use it to ski in. But if you are going to spend this kind of money here, get a fitted northface. I would not wear this out in public unless it was under my jacket, and the hat goes in the guest pile.

These glasses look and feel like safety goggles. The picture makes them look nicer. When I first put them on they fogged up upon contact with my face from being shipped in the cold and brought indoors. I have a smallish face and these were a bit large. I liked the nose thing though, you can really shape it well. Have yet to see how they'll do on the bike, maybe a little wind thru them will take care of the fog problem. Bought them on chainlove for a fair discount so can't complain too bad. If they suck I can at least use them if I have to powersaw something.

I am a beginner snowboarder as of this past season and got these boots for the upcoming season. All I can say about them right now is that they fit true to size and feel like they will be quite comfortable. They also look great and aren't as clunky as my current boots and appear to be well insulated. I will have to update during the season!

I wear a small, sometimes medium on top and this dress in a small fit perfectly, though I wouldn't go without a bra on this one because the material is very soft and non-supporting so for those who love bra-tops this won't cut it. The dress is so comfortable, I wore it hiking and also tailgating at a sporting event. Hey lady who wants to give your dress, I'll take it!

After writing my review above to maybe help out some buyers, I saw that it was available in my size and figured, why not? So now I have this item, and as I state in my review above, order it in your swimsuit size, not shirt or pants size. I got the 10, and it fits perfectly. It is comfortable and I can't wait to try it out this summer.

I don't have this item, but just FYI for anyone who buys this type of product; the sizes aren't like pants. They are like swim gear. For example, I am a size 0-2 in pants and small in tops, however my Nike swim suit top (for lap swimming) is a size 10. It's pretty hard to guess your size if you aren't familiar with this type of gear. Hope this helps!

Bought these for the boy - he really likes them, but as other people have said they are fairly true to size except a little long. They look good too, so now I can bring him out in public. Thanks!

This backpack wasn't what I expected, but it's still a good bag. The main area is really big and has no pockets except for a thin one along the top back, ( it would fit 2 roadmaps in it, horizontal) and an "mp3 holder" that is a bit too small to hold an ipod video (tall-wise). Likewise, the "laptop pocket" will hold your laptop if it is the size of a small stack of paper - it is really small. However, I found the laptop section very useful to hold a couple of Nalgene bottles - the foam absorbs the sweat from the bottle and they stand up in the pack. Also, it is flat on the bottom; the picture makes it look like the bottom curves up. I like the waist strap, and the chest strap. Overall it is a good looking bag, and very useful but only if you want to throw everything you have into one main area. If you are looking for a good biking bag, or a true daypack, this probably wouldn't be your best bet.

these are durable and lightweight, comfy too. check anywhere else, they are about $20 more. they are a little darker than the picture. lucky me, they were here in my size!

I returned the S and got the XS and they fit perfectly. They don't feel bulky or hot like ski pants sometimes do. I can't wait to try them out this season.

The tag actually says S/P, which means small/petite so of course it will fit strangely. The product is 10% wool and 90% polyester, and made in China. Don't waste your money. This company does NOT measure up.

of course it works.
