Extremely versatile stick   01-05-08   

Awesome board. Handles great in the groomers and skied out areas. Even better in powder.

The North Face Powerstretch Balaclava    This product is no longer available
 
Good stuff   07-22-08   

I picked up my North Face balaclava during the season last year. Very comfortable. Keeps your mug warm on those nasty windy days and you can roll it up into a silly-looking beanie or poke your head through the facehole like a gaiter when it gets too warm. :)

The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Works but...   07-22-08   

I thought the fabric was a little stiff. It kind of gets in its own way. It will keep you warm, but I prefer my TNF Zot.

The North Face Fortress Peak GTX Hiking Boot - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Great, but go a half size smaller   07-22-08   

Very good. A bit warm for the desert, but very comfortable. I broke them in by wearing them around for a couple weeks around the office but I didn't really need to. Maybe go half a size smaller than what you would usually wear.

The North Face Diad Jacket - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
TNF Diad   07-29-08   

Light as a feather. Comfortable. Bulletproof! Lets in less water than a duck's butt and it's so airy you can use it during a monsoon in Singapore without melting.

Zeal Zeke Sunglasses - Polarized    This product is no longer available
 
Perfect for alien noggins   07-29-08   

I can't wear aviators normally unless they're wraparound style. I look too strange in them, but these are perfect! The only way they could be better is if the lens color was more of an amber. Brown is fine though. I also don't care too much for the temple design. They look like they're just waiting to catch a jacket sleeve to go flying off your face. A straight design would be better. They're great for driving and they absolutely destroy road and vehicle glare. Great price too!

CRKT M16-01 Every Day Carry Knife    This product is no longer available
 
great knife   07-27-08   

I've had this knife for about a year. It's great. It has a "Carson flipper" which you can flick with a little wrist action and it opens right up. Unfortunately, the thumb stud is just about useless to open the knife with.

Keeps your brains in your skull and your ears warm   07-22-08   

I was a little worried about my ears getting frozen off but I was just fine. Also did a good job when I decided to perform a sliding headbutt into a tree. It didn't help me dig out from underneath my new friend, but I also didn't leave my brains steaming in the snow next to me.

No ice on my butt   07-22-08   

These are great. I can tuck them right into the top of my socks without any bunching. They keep my legs and butt good and warm without overheating.

Love it   07-22-08   

Very comfortable. Good fit all around (6'1" 190lb - XL). Great in cool and windy weather. I tried wearing it into early Summer but just had to put it away.

merino merino merino!   07-22-08   

Very comfy. Never stinky. Cut down on how much stuff you have to bring with you on your travels. Wash it out in the crick or your hotel room sink and put it back on to dry. Good to go.

Mountain Hardwear Viperine 2 Tent 2-Person 3-Season    This product is no longer available
 
flew together - roomy for 1   07-22-08   

I opened it up, burned the instructions page and had it together in about 60 seconds. Very nice. I didn't use the rainfly but it looked pretty good. Has a nice bear viewing window in it. I'm 6'1" and I had plenty room inside. Like pbourdon says, you're going to get friendly with whoever shares this thing with you.

These socks are great!   02-05-08   

They're super comfy and don't fall into your boot. Much better than the striped tube socks I've used in the past.

The North Face Softshell Windproof Beanie    Read other reviews of this product
 
I dig it   11-10-07   

It kind of rides up on my head (I have a big head and long hair, so that might have something to do with it), so a larger size would be nice. I get by though. I like the "vents" on the side. I don't know about using them for your earbuds, but I put my sunglass earpieces through them instead of under the side. Keeps out the draft. :)

Note remotely impressed   12-30-07   

Even after I torqued them down I couldn't seem to get these bindings to do any of the work for me. Wore my poor little feet out. The back entry system wasn't my style either. I guess just weren't the bindings for me.
