...nobody's ever gonna keep these down. I bought the Vasque Blur because I heard they were stiff--and stiff they were...I mean are. I have used them to hike, trail run, walk my dogs, play Frisbee and more and they're up for the task. Mostly hiking though.

These puppies...I mean FatCats are quiet and aerodynamic. In the past I couldn't wait to take my ski rack off my car because of the noise and friction but with these--I kept them on all season. Awes!

I haven't used it for an extended period of time but I have loaded it to the hilt for a test run on a two day trip. The load's weight was evenly distributed and the pack had easy access points. Can't wait to actually use it for a week's long trek.

I gave this to my special lady impromptu and she LOVED it. Now she LOVES me more--thanks to The North Face Preppy Cable Visor.

I used the Mountain Hardwear Synchro Hooded Jacket as my primary ski shell this season and loved it. I switch out technical shell to soft shell season over season because I haven't quite found the right applique...until now. Only problem is the cuff. It doesn't have a closure strap.

I gave this to my special lady for a trip to AK and its performance did not go unrecognized. She's always cold and seems to find ways to get wet but the Mountain Hardwear Cohesion jacket kept her dry. FINALLY!

I get tired of my right are being so much bigger than my left arm after coming home from backpacking trips. The SteriPEN has totally solved that issue. No more pumping a filter and you preserve the great taste of mountain spring water! You light up my life SteriPEN!

I know green is the new black but do we have to sacrifice quality and craftsmanship? I put these on out-of-the-box and felt no support. Sure the sole is stiff--which it should be--but the upper is floppy and smooshy. Generally I stand behind Patagonia for it's great product and environmental conscience but the Finn is not the shoe for me.

I LOVE Arc'teryx. They have great stuff that is well worth the price. However, I should have read the product description more closely because I didn't know it was a cord fleece. My fault for not reading. It's warm though.

The right price for pole breakers...and I don't crash. Weird.

I wore this pullover fleece every day this winter...even into spring. Outdoor Research traditionally makes great stuff and this follows suit.

Every summer my hips are skinned raw from going down on my bike. You'd think after 22 years of mountain biking I'd learn how to keep my balance. The Fox Racing Launch Bike Short protect the goods--from hip to knee.

I gave the Keen Newport sandal to my nephew for his 10th birthday and he hasn't taken them off since...except to sleep and swim.

They lock my skis and bike on my car. Perfect.
