Solid, breathing, wind-proof and warm. I was replacing my old Lowe bib pants with something new, and these pants have so far been working great. Works well in the mountains. My old Lowe pants was great for ice climbing, but for telemark-skiing they would get a little too hot for my taste, so i wanted something that breathes a little better. I like the snug fit, but its also flexible enough when you wear more than one layer under it.

I am very pleased with these balaclava. I have been using it under a Berghaus Gore-Tex jacket and if fits really well under the hood. I like the fact that the face opening is kinda large, makes it easier to pull the balaclava down under your chin when you want a better angle of view. It keeps me warm and does a good job of keeping the chilly winds outside. I even used it when I had to take my sailboat for a 3.5hr trip to get it to the winterdock. And it was rough day with windspeeds up to 40 mph and lots o sea spray. I will never leave home without it when I am out for a rough ride, be it snow or sea.

I finally replaced my old and sturdy headlamp with a flashy new LED/halogen headlamp, and so far I am very satisfied. 14 LEDs lit gives you enough light to bicycle in rough terrain in the middle of the night. If needed you can switch to halogen for that extra distance, but the 14 LEDs usually is more than enough. Around the camp, 5 LEDs is more than enough. I also like this model since it allows you to carry the batteries under your clothes so it holds out in cold weather too. It fits nice on my head, just wish it was a little more adjustable on the front piece. Yeah I know I can just turn my head, but sometimes it nice to be able to fix it at certain angles.

My feets are very picky when it comes to boots. Normally I have to break new boots in, unless I want blisters. I bought these boots for a "10 summits over 6500 feets in 10 hours" trip me and some friends had been planing for a few months since my old ones was asking for retirement. I kinda ordered them a little too late so I only tried them on for a short 2 mile trip up and down a hill where I live. So I was a bit anxious when we set out on our "epic" daytrip... My worries was soon forgotten as he boots proved themself worthy over and over. They where extremely good on the foot, they performed wonderful on rocky parts of the trip, they where brilliant when climbing or walking over the thinnest edges, they matched my step-in crampoons perfect when passing glaciers. Of course we all had legs like jelly when we finally came back to the cabin after 15 hours of walking and climbing but not near the fatigue Ive felt with other boots before. Besides all of my friends had longer recovery the following days than I had, and some of the credit I will give the boots. For these kind of trips they where absolutely perfect. I have already decided to buy another pair to have when these babies are worn out. Go get a pair before I buy them all... tyty LaSportiva.

I bought this jacket for my daughter. She loves it and we been using it for normal winter days and skiing. Keeps her warm and show no sign of wear yet.

A bit too big for hiking on longer trips, but for short trips or when size doesn't matter this is a great kitchen set. I've used it on my sailboat this summer as a fast packing mini-kitchen when we jump on land to BBQ. I filled up most of the containers with stuff I usually don't remember to bring with me out, so now every meal in the outback has all the possibilities that a home cooked one has (almost :-) Great set for its use.

I kinda ordered these boots along with a pair of LaSportiva since they where only 104$ at the time I got em. At first they where hard on my feet resulting in blisters. They where also uncomfortable around the ankle. Since my feet are somewhat picky about boots I decided to use them for short periods of time until I (hopefully) had broken them in, so I used them in the garden, or when I went to the store and even at work. After a while I had broken them in and now they are really good. They are kinda all-round boots that could last until your sole is worn out if you take care of the leather. Not exactly my first choice for mountaineering but for hiking trips they are sweet. Also for everyday life wintertime wise in Norway they are good. One of the best thing about leather boots like this is that they are easy to clean. Im not gonna let my starting problems affect the score so I give them top score. Great value for your money.

I dont think this jacket is too heavy, I find it quite useful for days when its real cold outside, then I like to use it as a layer underneath a regular Pro Shell jacket. I like the fact that the zippers are not centered. I also use it alot on a daily basis, its quite stylish and stands up for some rain as well. What I dont like however is the hood, there are no adjustments for the hood making it useless on windy days as the hood often will blow off unless you already have a beanie or balaclava under it. Its a 4/3 ranking, more 4 than 3.

Its way too thin to use at anything else than activities that produces some or lots of body heat. (unless youre using it summerwise) But for that use its great. Bought it for my wife and she uses it as a fitness jacket when shes out walking, running or doing some kind of excersice. If your looking for a spring or autumn jacket, look somewhere else (dont even think about it for winter use). Ill give it 3 stars for beeing a good all round workout jacket but there are lots o cheaper jackets for that kinda use out there.

Hard to write a review when its a product Im not using (for obvious reasons) myself. Ive been asking my daughter if she likes them, and guess what: she says yes. Then Ive been asking if they are too cold, too hot, if they squeezes her toes, if they are too heavy, if they get wet. But apparently they are very good according to my 8 y.o. From my point of view they seems to be good winterboots for playing and moving around a little. I wouldnt take them for a longer trip or mountain hiking, since I expect the rubberlike stuff on the boot to be too sealed and not letting any moisture out. But they do keep the feets dry in non-dry locations and have a deasent grip so Ill give em 4 stars.

Ive used these stuff on several occasions. They are too warm if you are gonna work up some bodyheat, once I had to pull em out coz my boots felt like a sauna. But for those xtreme cold winterdays out in the mountains or days when u just go to a ski resort and go downhill all day they are perfect. Make sure they dont crumble up when you put your feets inside your boots. and keep em a little outside the tip of your sock.

Great wind-blocker for those days when a regular jacket gets too hot. I was taking a chance and ordering the medium size even though I am 6 feet tall, but it fits like a glove even with a t-shirt and a thin fleece.
