Great shell - I have the '07 model I believe. As other reviewer says, sleeves are a bit long (I have a Medium and am 5' 10" athletic cut) but nothing that would make me drop a mark. As light as the shell is, I was hesitant about warmth, but in CO winter ski season I had simply a base layer, patagonia micropuff vest and the shell and was hot - had to unzip the pit zips. If I had to knock it, I'd say the zip handles are a bit small w/ gloves on, but again, nothing that would make me lower the mark.

These sunglasses are fantastic - interchangeable lenses are a must-have if these are your only pair, great for running, mountain biking, or just hanging out. One knock is while they're super lightweight, the arms of the glasses are a little flimsy...so you do have to be a bit careful with them. All in all a great pair!

These were very comfortable sandals, but sadly the sole started coming apart from the footbed pretty quickly after I bought them, less than 1 summer of wearing them every other day or so. So I really liked the look and comfort but can't give it more stars due to lack of durability.

I wear this thing as my only outer layer in 20 deg temps. If you layer right underneath it does the job - sure your arms get chilly but it is a vest, after all. Perfect for layering: I wear a base layer, this vest, and a bombproof HH shell on the slopes and I'm fine - even need pit zips open half the time!

This is the perfect pack for daytrips. You get your hydration w/ sleeve so the H20 doesn't freeze, it's slim enough if you want so it's not a pain to have on your back, but expandable if you want it to be for travel so you can stuff a buncha things in there. Only bad thing is the zipper pulls are minuscule so it takes some effort to get them but not enough for me to drop it to 4 stars.

Best goggle for the price, IMHO. Perfect fit, most comfortable, the silicone on the strap is perfect for helmet wearers so it doesn't slide at all.

Great helmet. Fits great, and I would say it's a helluva lot warmer than just a wool cap, even though I keep take the vents blocker things completely off all the time. Would be nice to have a switch to open/close the vents instead of ones you have to take out yourself, but you gotta pony up more $ for that.

I didn't find it runs that small - I wear Med gloves and the Med for this one fits well. If anything the cuff area is a little shorter than I'm used to but not a big deal. Super warm, even w/o the liner gloves. Highly recommend!
