The pack is well built and works great for hiking and biking. I use it for long day hikes and anytime I go out for a ride. You can hold more than the volume indicates with the external mesh pockets and bungee cord. I have used Camelbak bladders for years with no problems, so we will see how the Nalgene bladder holds up. I don't like the tube as well; it seems to kink easier. Other than that I expect the pack to last for many years.

I bought these for my wife's K2 Burnin Luv skis. She likes the feel of the binding, and says the short mounting zone seems to help give her more flex in the middle of the ski. Highly recommended!

My son loves this jacket so far. Sheds light rain, sleet, snow and is warm, but not clammy (breathes well). He plans to use it for school, hiking, and skiing this year. As the other reviewer said: it runs a little large.

I've tried every sandal available. I love my chacos, but wanted to get something with more coverage for certain times. These are very comfortable, and fit me well. They are much cooler than keens. They are very light on my feet. Time will tell about durability, but I like them so far. The main dislike is they are harder to get on than some others I have tried.

Very nice helmet. Works great in varying conditions due to excellent venting. Lower profile avoids the bubble-head look of some helmets. Only bad things are minimal padding on inside and a little heavier than my previous helmet: Giro 9. Overall I love it.

As others have said, these are great straps for multiple uses. I use them to transport skis and keep the tips together while on my backpack. Much better than velcro.

I used this was all last season and found it to be good. If you are looking for a good all around wax for general skiing, this is it.

These boots are really nice. My feet sweat alot in goretex boots, but these leather lined boots really vent well (sweaty feet contribute to blisters). The leather lining conforms to your feet after about 15 miles. They are plenty supportive for rough trail backpacking. Used these in the Canadian Rockies for a week (both hiking and backpacking) and my feet never got tired or sore. I love these boots.

My son (8.5 yrs old) loves this pack. He reports it is very comfortable, and I noticed it looks very stable on his back while he hikes. He loves the hipbelt pockets for carrying his gum and snacks. It also works well with a camelback bladder so he stays hydrated. Should be good for several years due to the adjustable frame size and hipbelt. He has had many comments from other backpackers/hikers about how cool it is.

At first glance, seem to be excellent sandal. But while trying them out around the house, they rubbed my feet in several places. I don't think they fit my foot shape very well. Quality seems great, though.

Good product. Holds plenty of stuff and water for long day hikes in the desert or peak bagging. Love the external bladder access for refilling.

This shirt is great for skiing (that's all I have used it for so far). The fit is nice overall, and it really keeps me dry and warm. Highly recommend it.

Nice goggles. Have not used on snow yet, but vision appears to be very clear. They also fit my face with and without my helmet. They have a nice field of view.
