Great all-round jacket!
11-18-08 ![]() |
I bought this for my wife and she absolutely loves it! She does a little bit of everything, skiing, showshoeing, mountaineering, winter camping etc. It's been great for everything. Water beads right off but it breathes very well! Tons of cargo pockets, plenty of ventilation and the powder skirt is enough to keep all the undesirables out! It's definitely more than just a shell but she's used it down to -20ºf so far with a little bit of layering. She's got zero complaints and I got browny points for the gift :) |

Great Skates!
11-11-08 ![]() |
These are great skate skiis! These skiis are extremely stable at higher speeds but have plenty of bite on the uphill. One nice thing with Fischer is that they camber match every pair so you don't end up with skiis with completely different flex. I guess what more could you ask for, good on the uphill, good on the downhill and very stable all around. |

Love these Boots!
11-10-08 ![]() |
I really do love these boots! They are plenty stiff although it doesn't feel like you're strapped to a 2x4. They flex enough to keep things comfortable and the boots are literally comfortable enough that they can be worn all day and the feet never start to nag. The lacing system is a defininte plus and feels very stable. All in all these are great boots. Never had a complaint yet, don't expect any in the future! |

The Best Addition to the Arsenal!
10-28-08 ![]() |
I am extremely anal retentive! I had 1 pair and they were so comfortable that I am using them for all of my journeys from hiking/exploring to glacier travel, ice climbing etc. I ended up buying a 2nd pair for fear that I might be without them for a couple weeks or so if I have to send them to be resoled. Overly anal?.... Probably but they're really that nice! I plan on using these everywhere and am certain they'll live up to Sportiva's claims! |

Killer Beanies!
11-29-08 ![]() |
I'm a huge fan of products made by Backcountry.com. I've got a ton of them and everything has been great quality, fair price and really nice for innovation. These hats have great color in the wool and some really killer micro-fleece inside. The fit is really nice! I seem to have extra sensitive skin when it comes to wool so the fleece inside is a huge bonus! Plus the coffee/smoke hat matches my Mr. Rogers sweater perfectly! As an added bonus these guys have the hats made in Nepal. Thanks for another great product! |

Just bought both colors for my wife. She loves the colors and the fit. They fit very true to size. The material is extremely soft both inside and out. Hopefully I got a few browny points for the surprise :) |

The Beauty of Warmth!
11-27-08 ![]() |
Okay, if you're looking to spend time high enough to require this kind of warmth or you're just doing some winter camping in the sinks, these are the way to go. These pants are rated if you're looking to head into temps below -40F but they'll go lower than that. They work very well with harnesses. Obviously gaiters are necessary but I'd wear them no matter when when I have these pants on. Patching a tear is fairly easy, but a pain in the hiney when you're in the thick of the cold. I tore my jacket and it was a pain but worked very well. The fit is great, they move well, they're very true to size and they don't seem to ride up at all. Killer pants. You'll love 'em!!! |

Best Pack 'o' the Year!
10-28-08 ![]() |
This is the best pack I've owned. I went into the retail store of backcountry.com and tried on about everything. It came down to this pack and an arc'teryx. Hands down this pack was much more comfortable, plus it has a bunch more accesses and compartments than the others. I Nikwaxed it with the UV waterproofing, not that it was necessary but I'm anal! I've been on a bunch of long trips with this baby and the more I use it the more I love it! What a great pack! |

Eiger's Rock!
03-11-09 ![]() |
These are now my favorite "everything" shorts! Kuhl does a lot of very cool things to them like an inside security button as a backup to the fly. Mesh pockets and bomb proof material. They fit true to size, they dry extremely quickly but I didn't chaff when hiking in them wet for long periods of time while in and out of rivers. Another great product from a killer company born in Utah! |

Great Hikers!
11-21-08 ![]() |
These are some great water/hiking sandals. I use them for very light hikes, especially if we're going to be in the water. They have lasted a lot longer than I expected.....don't seem to ever fall apart. They run true to size except they do fit just a hair wide. All in all great sandals for whatever terrain you're looking to conquer. |

Wicked Cozy, interesting waist band.
02-23-09 ![]() |
These are now my wife's most comfortable pants in her collection. They're extremely soft both inside and out, and they're lasting really well. The only trippy thing about these pants is the waist band. Like people have said it is stitched at the front and the back. That's a little odd, but it was easily remedied with a needle and some thread. That took care of the issue no problem. They do run a little big in sizing so you may consider dropping down a size. Great pants though, none the less! |

Nice Glacier Shades!
01-17-09 ![]() |
I love these glasses! I got them for mountaineering, glacier travel etc. They do exactly what they're intended for. Great for taking the light out of your eyes from all angles and especially in extreme light conditions. They do look very cool, but they're incredible for their purpose. They definitely are not for people with a larger head. The ear pieces are extremely flexible and bend to about whatever shape you want so they're really manageable with different shaped faces. They aren't recommended for driving as the lenses are too dark. I'd recommend them to anyone wanting some semi-retro shades which serve a great purpose. |

Absolutely love it!!!
11-24-08 ![]() |
I love this hat! It is extremely warm, very comfortable and feels very stable on your head. I have problems occasionally with hats sliding around on my head. This one doesn't at all but also doesn't feel tight! Kind of the best of both worlds. Canada Goose definitely gave this hat a great twist on an old school style and I think it's great! It's got a hefty price tag but in my opinion it's well worth it! |

Great Nordic Pants!
11-17-08 ![]() |
These are great pants for nordic skiing. The cut is great so they move well, don't fall down at all and don't seem to gather anywhere. They're plenty warm unless you're skiing close to 0 degrees and you may want to add some Merino long johns but down to those temps you'll be totally fine. They've lasted a long time as well. I run these and Craft tights as well. They both work well but these have lasted longer, only because I've had them longer. Great pants for anything Nordic, running or whatever other grueling workout you want! |

2nd on Buddah's Review!
11-13-08 ![]() |
I completely agree with the review written by Buddah. This is a killer jacket and definitely breathes a million times better than my OR GoreTex pro shell. The only thing I'd add to this review is that the waterproofness of it is just as incredible as the breathability. Water is still beading off and it's had ample time to break down. I've worn it with 60+ lb. pacs numerous times and it's working out better than I had expected! Thanks again BackCountry!!! |

Crazy Cool Pants!
11-09-08 ![]() |
These pants are kind of crazy.....in a good way. They say canvas which is nearly true. The material does feel like canvas but they're amazingly comfortable, unlike canvas. They feel very thick when you touch them on the outside but when you wear them, especially after a few wearings, they're amazing. They really are great lounge pants. They have some really cool little extras like with logo placement, belt loops etc. They definitely don't just look like your standard pantalones. I love all my pants from Kuhl! I'll keep buying them if these ever wear out. |

Great Harness!
10-28-08 ![]() |
All I do is Alpine style and this is a perfect harness! It's wicked comfortable and is very easy to use. One of those things you might want to be a little extra anal about and this one hits the nail on the head! There's plenty of adjustment. Fits well so really there isn't need for much padding at all. Plus it fits very well over a Pro Shell! Great harness I'd recommend to anyone! |

Amazing Pack!
05-07-08 ![]() |
This pack is probably the best thing I've added all year! I've always had a hard time running/riding with this sort of gadget attached to me. They're either too low/high, too tight/loose or fit weird on my back..... til now. I'm 6'1" and about 185 and my runs are taking me the better part of a day so I don't have a choice, but this pack has made it easy! The fit is perfect. Plenty of adjustment, plenty of water, cargo space and pockets for necessities. No sales gimmicks, this is really a perfect trail running pack! I'd have paid double if I knew about it earlier! |

The BEST Pants Ever!
03-11-09 ![]() |
I've been using these things for a while now, mainly for alpine climbing, and they're amazing! They move extremely well. They are well proportioned in every different are of the pants...ie. side zips, gaitors. OR really thought out the ventilation of these pants with the thigh zips that work extremely well. I read before I purchased them that the pockets were too small but I thought of the alternative of having large pockets and trying to find things with cold fingers or thin gloves on and felt that having smaller pockets was much better than not being able to find anything. The one thing you might look at, depending on your waist, is to pick up some suspenders from OR. My waist was a bit too small for large's but I needed the length so suspenders are working out really well! By far my most used and favorite pants in the collection! |

Great Light Shirt!
03-09-09 ![]() |
I picked this shirt up and really love it! It's a fairly loose fit but fits true to size. I got the straw color and it stands out well, looks very sharp! Cleaning is really easy and the fabric doesn't hold onto dirt so they come out very clean. You do have to iron this shirt as they wrinkle out of the dryer and they wrinkle fairly easily as is very common with light shirts of this nature. These are really nice shirts from a great company started right here in Salt Lake City, UT! |

2nd time review
02-11-09 ![]() |
I wrote a review a while ago but decided to write another since I picked up the rest of the colors. These are great beanies! They insulate extremely well but the fleece keeps the wooly effect away from your skin. They'll fit about any size head. Really, they're killer hats and I think everyone should pick some up. Well worth the dough! |

Great T
12-03-08 ![]() |
I bought all four colors for my wife. She really loves them. The cotton is very soft but doesn't feel like most super soft T's, meaning that it seems like it's going to last a long time. Be careful on the fit as they do fit a little snug. All in all they're really great shirts! |

2nd time review
12-03-08 ![]() |
Okay, so I've written a review not too long after I got my first of these watches. Now that I have a bunch more experience with it I have a few more thoughts. The 1st watch ended up having problems with the buttons....they stopped working. I returned it and Backcountry.com replaced it no questions asked. The 2nd one worked for about 5 or 6 weeks. At that point it started doing a global reset at least once per week. That required to go back in and set all values for the entire watch again. I gave up on it at that point. I absolutely love the functions of this watch, just couldn't get it to work long enough to make it worth while. Luckily Backcountry.com completely rocks and gave me a full refund.....no questions asked. Thanks folks!!! |

Wicked Cool Gloves!
11-21-08 ![]() |
These gloves are amazing! I'm always a huge fan of leather gloves and Grandoe has added the best leather in the perfect places. Very soft leather on the sides and top of the fingers and a little more durable leather on the palm and pads of the fingers. They're insanely warm, and this is coming from someone with horrible circulation in his hands from too many episodes of freezing temps. The nose wipe definitely comes in handy as well as the gauntlet. I'm very happy with them and expect I will be for years to come! |

Butter for your Toes!
11-18-08 ![]() |
These socks are great! I use them everywhere but intentionally bought them for running. They're the best for avoiding blisters between your toes which is something I've suffered with for a lot of years. They've lasted a really long time which really surprised me. The only thing I'd warn against is that these shorter socks tend to slip down on your heel in general. Aside of that they're amazing! |

Amazing Jacket
11-09-08 ![]() |
This is truly a killer jacket! I got my first when they were Alf. That's been over 16 years ago. The leather on the shoulders and elbows is still the same as when I first bought it. The fleece on the outside hasn't matted, pilled, faded or had any problems at all. The inside is like a thick, warm blanket. The fleece is really thick and super cozy. They're not the most wind resistant although they block the wind better than most fleece. The zippers are very beefy and haven't ever had regular zipper issues. All in all I love this jacket! |

I almost bought Arc'teryx in fact I tried both on at backcountry's retail store..... I liked these better. They fit great, harness fit perfect around them and they're water tight! There's plenty of venting but the gators work great! I use a pair of external gators when I'm in crampons just in case but these are really the best. They're lite but very durable! Probably one of the best things I've added to my arsenal! |

Nice Merino
03-11-09 ![]() |
This is a great base layer! The merino wool rings true to what you should expect from that material. It fits true to size although it seemed to run a little long in the body and sleeves, but that was a bit of a plus for me. They do stretch a little but always go right back to shape. These are very versatile and extremely insulating and a great addition to the collection! |

Cool Watch!
11-13-08 ![]() |
I'm a watch freak, mostly exotics so Oakley was a bit of a different choice. Ever since this watch came out I've like the look.... like a really high end, wide, bike chain or something like that. It looks pimp, tells the time etc.....whatever. It's wicked cool! That's the basic jist of this watch, wicked cool! Just like all the other reviews, it gets tons of compliments. Size is really nice and it seems bulletproof! If you have an extra kilo laying around it's a great watch to pick up! |

03-11-09 ![]() |
Both my wife and I absolutely love these capris! They are extremely flattering!!! The "lacey" material around the waist, the bottom of the legs and the pockets is a very nice addition. They're very well made, the material feels soft but extremely durable and they stay put meaning they don't ride up or down at all. You may want to size up 1 size as they tend to run just a bit small but other than that you'll absolutely love them! |

We even did it in the middle of a blizzard and to top it all off, Justin, who completely ROCKS and works at backcountry installed it with me. They really are the best folks around!!!! |

I thought it was all talk.....super light, super warm, very compacting. Man was I wrong! Literally this is the warmest vest I've got.

This is a great find if you're looking for something well made with great qualities and function! |

This was one of the finalists of the dozen or so tops my wife bought. She really liked everything about it but we returned it in the end because it wasn't quite as flattering as some of the others. Also, the material seemed to gather under her arms which could definitely cause problems on longer runs. Other than that though the fit is great. You probably want to go down a size as they fit pretty big. |

My wife loves these capris! They fit true to size and the colors matched up to the pictures shown above. They weren't the absolute most flattering but they've been great for long hikes, hangin around the house and just about everywhere else. They are just a little stretchy which has been nice for climbing. They also dry very quickly and are easy to keep clean. Stains come out very well in them. |

Picked up this watch and I love it! It's a heavy watch and definitely feels bomb proof. I got the dark wood and the wood grain shows through very well. It looks exactly as shown in the picture above which was a plus. The only funky thing is that the face of the watch is small so it takes a little getting use to but wasn't a big deal.

Really Nice Bivy!
01-13-09 ![]() |
I picked up this bivy a couple of months ago and have been very pleased with it ever since! Pros: It doesn't add much weight. It slides over my Big Agnes extra long bag very easily. It also zipped onto my BA bag nicely which I was a little surprised about. It definitely keeps the undesireables out or off of your bag. It did add a little bit of warmth which was nice up in the sinks at -30ºf. Cons: The only thing I could think of was that if you sleep with the bivy above your face you can get a little condensation inside. It did dry very quickly though so it wasn't a big deal. We'll see how it does on the dirt this summer but I expect it will be great! |

Great Design!
01-04-09 ![]() |
Okay, so I've had these boots and the FlightDeck for a while now I am more impressed every time I go out on them. I've just spent some time in weather that was down to -10ºf and my feet didn't get cold at all! That's impressive because my feet always run cold. These boots are very easy to slip on over your running shoes, although they tend to stick just a bit if you're shoes are wet. They're very comfortable and I didn't have even the smallest problem when I went out this weekend......Was out for a solid 6.5 hrs! Together with the FlightDeck this is the best combination for showshoeing!!! |

Insanely Comfortable!
12-03-08 ![]() |
Picked up these shoes and they were exactly what I hoped for. They are extremely comfortable and mold well to your feet. They slip on easily but stay put once they're on so if you're running without socks you're not going to get rubbed too raw! They run very true to size. Color is great and it's a bonus that they're green on the enviro. El Naturalista have become my new favorite chillin shoes for sure! |

Careful with the Washing!
12-03-08 ![]() |
A little more experience. I actually returned the first sweater and I'm not sure if this is a normal thing but it was strange to me. I washed it literally twice. Both times were on the hand wash cycle in cold and laying flat to dry just like the instructions recommend. After the 1st washing it shrunk a little but not much. After the second it shrunk about 3 or 4 inches and went crooked. I returned it for a new one and again Backcountry.com replaced without any questions. So far this one hasn't had that problem and I've washed it more than twice so it seems that we're good to go. |

Great Hats!
11-28-08 ![]() |
Just picked up a couple of these hats and I'm really happy with them. The wool feels like pretty high quality but standard wool. The inside has great micro-fleece. My skin is really sensitive to wool so I'm really psyched about the fleece inside. They fit very well.... I think I have an average sized noggen. They're great colors.... even match my Mr. Rogers Kuhl sweater. All in all I'm really, really happy with them and look forward to some great use out of them. Just as a side note, I think it's really cool that Backcountry.com has them made in Nepal! Thanks for another great product! |

Killer MTB Shoes!!!
11-21-08 ![]() |
These are some of the very best mountain bike shoes I've worn. I've been through about everything: Shimano, Carnac, Vittoria etc. and these are the most comfortable for sure. These are extremely stiff and do well even climbing out of the trees when you have a throw-off. These shoes also expel mud and crap out of the soles extremely well so when you're in the thick of it with nasty weather you'll be taken care of! |

Another nice Product from BC.com!
11-21-08 ![]() |
I got one, then I got all three colors. These shirts are really amazing! Wool in the best spots and the liner is really nice. I am using these for everything, including hangin' out at home! They're perfect for layering or climbing on a slight bit chilly day. The fit is very true to size. The only thing I noticed is that the length in the torso seems to be just a hair shorter than a normal Large but that wasn't a big deal for me. All in all I'd say this is another very good quality product from the folks @ Backcountry.com! |

I am a huge advocate of Merino wool and these socks definitely fall into that category. They have all the really good properties of the best Merino wool and Backcountry.com has given them a great cut so they fit amazing and they last a very long time. I go between these and the Cocona socks from Backcountry.com depending on how thick of socks I want at the time. Really great socks for a lot more than just skiing! |

I absolutely love these socks. These are by far my most comfortable hiking/mountaineering socks! They are very thick so make sure you have room to move in your boots. As with all Lorpen socks these have support in all the right places so your feet feel amazing! Lorpen thought of everything on these babies! Sometimes you just want to buy new socks but want to wait til your others have worn out, but these aren't wearing out at all...... |

I've loved these pants. I use them as layering mainly but they also get worn as my PJ's. They move well, the fit is right on and they've lasted me quite a long time....especially for how much I've worn them. I use them hiking/climbing in the cold as well as mountaineering, but also for trail running on exceptionally cold days. They breathe very well and you'll never feel like you have some heavy long johns under your clothing. All in all it's another great product from Backcountry.com! |

2nd review is even better!
11-12-08 ![]() |
I know my review is only from August but having used these in some extreme conditions I felt another would be worth while. I actually had prescription lenses made for these glasses which are done right at Maui Jim...... in Chicago. Things are getting a bit cold in Utah and I've worn these up in the highest areas of the state, which are only around 12k ft. The interesting thing is that when the temperature drops the frames get more flexible. It's not just a little flexy but a ton! I had them in my pack when I was climbing a rock face and smashed them against the mountain. Then I freaked out thinking they were broken but when I pulled them out they seemed really flimsy. That made me nervous too but when they warmed up they went right back to their original shape. These have just turned into my new bomb proof shades..... and they look really pimp too:) |

La Sportiva Rocks!
11-11-08 ![]() |
Before I got these shoes I read all the reviews and thought about it for a long time. I wear a couple of other Sportiva trail running shoes as well as their mountaineering boots and have loved all of them. I agree with a few of the reviews in that they do tend to run just a hair on the narrow side but aside from that I haven't noticed any kind of quirks in them. They do take a couple miles to break in but that's only because of a shank and a little beefy'er sole. I personally like that Sportiva doesn't have loads of room for movement in the toe box because that's always meant more possibilities for blisters. With all of that said, I have loved these shoes. Sizing is dead on, for me, the wear really well and have tons of stability! |

This is one of the coolest designs so far! I am a huge fan of Merino Wool. I am also a big fan of Polartec products. Merging the two in this top were a stroke of genius! This is the top I use for everything except trail running........so for hiking/climbing, mountaineering, skiing and it even turned into my jammeez last night. Great shirt and another rockin product from the folks at Backcountry.com! Thanks guys |

Great Layering/Style!
11-09-08 ![]() |
I LOVE Kuhl! I've been wearing their stuff from just after they launched everything as Alf and have been happy with everything from them. This jacket is not exception to that. The level of Merino wool they use is extremely soft and not abrasive to the skin at all. I tend to be very sensitive to wool and this stuff is great! The fit is great. Arms are just a hair long which is nice for their intent of this jacket. The style is cool too. My wife does call this my Mr. Rogers duds. I've had tons of compliments about it, which I couldn't care less about because I've taken it as a layer in wicked cold areas and it's completely excelled at it's job. Great quality and they last forever! |

I bought this jacket for my wife and she loves it. She's not really use to a longer coat but is really finding this feature nice as it's getting cold again. The outer shell seems to snag and even tear fairly easily but they also patch up very easily. This jacket is plenty warm and I think is extremely cute! I love it on her for sure:) |

Comfy, Cozy Rig!
11-07-08 ![]() |
This is really an amazing jacket! My body runs a little bit cold so I thought I be doing a little overkill and I was very right/wrong! This jacket is packed with down and makes you look much larger than you really are. I don't know that I head to the disco but for what it's intended to do it's absolutely the best! The exterior is completely windproof. I've been in some wicked cold regions and in some extreme wind in those regions and I didn't feel even the slightest breeze! Part of the beauty of this jacket is that even thought the jacket is completely windproof the material used at the liner inside the jacket is very thin and feels very soft. The collar around the neck is also very soft and kind of tucks you right in. Sizing ran true to the norm. Yeah, it's a lot of money but from what I've experience it's well worth every penny! |

In all reality these are the best thing we've bought all year! We have our 2 youngest that aren't able to hike much yet so my wife has had out 5 month old in a sling and I've had my 2 year old on my shoulders.....I love 'em but what a pain! So we bought a pair of these and to the mountains we go. There are tons of adjustments which make them plenty comfortable, including for the kiddo's. These packs feel very stable and actually carry a ton of stuff considering. The only issue now is trying to convince my 5 year old that he can still hike and doesn't need a ride:) |

I have cold hands problems and know I'll have zero problems up in the sinks where some of the coldest temps. in the country are registered! I'm really looking forward to testing them out! |

The quality is always amazing! I've had hundreds of their products over the years and never had any issue with quality..... not a single time. I wear them year round. They keep you warm and dry in the winter and cool and dry in the summer. Even riding really long climbs in the heat they do their job. Sizing is very true to what they recommend. Literally, this is one of those things well worth the money, every time! |

I picked these up for use mainly as an alpine climbing pant. I just got back from 7 hours in snow and am mostly happy with them. I'm already sold on Merino wool qualities and the pants performed extremely well. The move very well as the material stretches in any direction needed. You can use the pockets not only for gear but for ventilation. They run fairly true to size though the waist is a little large for me but there are belt loops so it wasn't a worry. The only trouble I had with them is the elastic on the back of the pant which hits right in the middle of your back. That started out to be a little uncomfortable while wearing a pack, but I got use to it and didn't even notice it was there after 1/2 hour or so. It's a great find and a really great buy for these pants. |

The good stuff: They're really, really cute! They are very flattering and Kuhl has done some really nice things like their logo is heart shaped and their name is in cursive on the back pocket.

I picked these up for my wife and she absolutely loves them! She's doing mixed trail and road running and they've been perfect! Unlike other reviews she feels they have great supoort all over the shoe. They also don't feel like a big flat platform and allow for better travel on uneven terrain. The heel has plenty of support but the forefoot has a little room which allows for both swelling and breathing room. The toe box isn't enormous but allows for plenty of movement and seems to cradle the toes really well. All in all I'd say these are our favorite shoes and will continue to be until they make something better. |

Great Top!
03-08-09 ![]() |
My wife loves this top! It is extremely comfortable and has very good support. It's also very flattering and the colors are far from dull! It fit true to size according to the sizing chart provided. It cleans very well and it doesn't seem to smell funny even after very long workouts, hikes, climbing and the list goes on and on! |

Holy Bandito!

We cooked this when it was -7ºf and were pleasantly surprised! The instructions say to use cold water, mix it and then fry them up like you would normal eggs. We couldn't stand the thought of cold water so we stuck boiling water in the bag. Then we fried up the eggs and they were great. Nice flavor, plenty of spices, quick cook and pretty filling for 2. |

Okay, so we didn't follow the instructions exactly. We were freezing cold and wanted to get it over with, plus we wanted a warm desert instead of cold. The instructions say to do it cold but we could handle that. We added boiling water to the bag and mixed everything in. The texture was like thick pudding and the taste was really, really good! We'll try it using the instructions next time but either way it's gonna taste really good. |

Great Meal!
02-21-09 ![]() |
We took this meal on a little winter camp. It got a little colder than we though it would....like -10ºf and it was late so they weren't ideal cooking situations. We went by the exact instructions and everything turned out perfect. We were really tired and cold so we weren't expecting a lot, but we were pleasantly surprised. The meal was warm, tasted really good, plenty of spices/flavor etc. Obviously it's not dining in Tuscany but definitely a close second. |

The BEST Tankini!
02-20-09 ![]() |
My wife absolutely LOVES this tankini! It fits true to size according to the sizing chart provided. It doesn't fade, or hasn't yet which is really saying something. The nicest thing about this is the fit. It's very flattering, very slimming and when you get it with the matching bottom it's perfect! They're a great combination and my wife's favorite suit so far.....ever! |

My wife loved these shorts! They fit true to size, aren't shorty shorts but aren't long either. She got blue and we thought that the tie was brown but it's actually gray. also the blue is a little brighter than in the picture but still really cute shorts. |

My wife loves these shorts. She got blue and we thought the stitching on the side was only brown but it has dark gray as well which was nice. They're a bit longer shorts and they fit a little larger than the sizing so I would definitely drop down a size. Really cute though! |

Nice Shorts/Interesting Fit
02-19-09 ![]() |
My wife like these shorts but ended up taking them back. The colors were really nice, they weren't super low rise and the material was really good quality. The fit was a little trippy though. They are slender, the waist is was a little bigger proportionally but they are super long! Nice in some respects and intersting in others but really good quality overall. |

Picked up a pair of these for my wife. She loves them! They're very stable, cushioned well and are well supported throughout the shoe. She runs mostly on the road but on some trails and they've been just what she was looking for. She hasn't been on anything too aggressive in the trails yet but what she has done she's been happy with. They ran just a bit tight but not massively. Really nice shoes overall and she likes that they're cute:) |

I picked up a few pair of these for my wife. She absolutely loves them. The fit is great, they don't slide down around your heel at all and best of all is they don't stink after a long run. That was always the biggest complaint is that socks start to wreak but these don't at all. They don't cause any friction in the slightest. Really, really nice socks. She wants a bunch more! |

Really solid Rollers!

These rollers are great! I hate training indoors but sometimes it's a must. I have rollers that end up with warped drums even worse than training indoors. These are really, really nice rollers! The bearings are extremely smooth and have great durability. They're fairly easy to cart around for warmups before a TT or whatever. They are very stable. I've always been a total believer in kreitler but you'll always pay some big dollars for them. These are changing my mind as they're bomb proof and are very smooth. I'm really happy with this purchase! |

This is a great bag especially for the dough. It's rated at 15º but can go well below that. It actually compresses well, a lot better than expected. Zippers don't have up at all so far. Doesn't snag easily and stayed dry even in a pretty damp tent. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting a really nice bag that is worth far more than they're charging! |

My favorite jacket!
02-10-09 ![]() |
This has turned into my favorite jacket for about everything! I've taken it up on really long alpine climbs in heavy snow, rain and stayed bone dry. The fleece lining is extremely soft as well as the fleece lined pockets. The hood fits well over a helmet and it zips up nicely to somewhat cover your mouth. The arms are just right....a little longer than other brands. Great jacket and what looks to be one that will be around for a long time to come. |

Great anything gloves!
02-10-09 ![]() |
I bought these as I thought they'd be great work/whatever gloves. Now I use them for about everything. They're holding up like champs! I treated them with the Nikwax leatherproof they come with and it worked like a charm. Be sure to warm them up before you treat them as it helps the wax absorb much better. The only thing you want to be careful of is the cuff section of the gloves fits a bit tight just when getting them on and off. It did seem to stretch just a bit but in the beginning it was a little snug. Great gloves and I'm really happy with them! |

Solid Pack!
02-10-09 ![]() |
I absolutely love this pack. I'm using it mainly for very long day hikes up high. It's not huge and cumbersome but holds plenty of gear. The pocket in the lid will hold a bunch as well. I went up for 6 hours yesterday and pretty much the entire time it was snowing sideways. All my gear inside the pack stayed dry so I was stoked! The tool holster works great. Fits shovels or ice tools perfectly. This pack does not have a moldable belt but fits extremely well. Plenty of adjustments make this thing function and fit great! The only modification/addition I made was I treated it with Nikwax Tent/Gear proof. Now water beads straight off of it. This pack is great for a long day hiker or a light overnighter. Either way it's a killer purchase! |

Cozy Layers
01-27-09 ![]() |
I just picked one of these up since I've been jealous that my wife has had some of them. She wears hers every day. I'm going to be doing the same. They're great for running, hiking, sleeping or whatever. They fit very true to size and are definitely not too baggy. The arms fit just a little long which is great if you have monkey arms like me or if you use the thumb holes a bunch. The thumb holes are a bit too small for me but it's a fairly easy thing to adjust if you know someone that is half decent with a sewing machine. It would be nice to have them just a hair larger out of the box though. The abyss/smoke is just a little lighter color than in this picture but still a dark blue. In my opinion just another great product from backcountry.com. Keep 'em coming! |

I picked up these shoes and just about haven't taken them off since. They're the most comfortable that I have from El Naturalista. Great full grain leather, laces tighten up extremely easily, soles are really grippy and aren't wearing out at all and did I mention they're really comfortable!?! The heel cup isn't overly small but they're designed in a way that they don't allow your heel to feel sloppy. A little funky Spanish style with amazing comfort....give 'em a try! You'll love them!!! |

The Best Design!
01-03-09 ![]() |
I've been out on these loads of times now and can't say enough good about them. I was worried that the lockin system would have issues with snow build-up or ice or something. Nothing of the sort! The boots clip in and out very easily, even with some massive gloves or mitts on. You're not going to have to worry about any kind of numb feet from bindings or trying to get your bindings hooked up while your fingers freeze off. These things are super easy, very durable and plenty light! I'd recommend them to everyone interested in a great snowshoe setup! |

These slippers are crazy comfortable! I wear them around the house for hours and hours. There's not a lot you can say about them. Really comfy, nice fit and they look nice. You want to be a little careful with sizing. I always take a 10 and with that size my toes touch the ends of the slippers. I love them none the less! |

It was a toss-up between this chair and a Kelty chair that reclines. It was a tough decision but I ended up going with the the Kelty. The seat portion was a little more comfy but that was it. This chair is really beefy and will handle plenty of weight. Great camping chair but don't be fooled into thinking that it's a lightweight because it's very much not! |

These shoes are really nice for an all round shoe. They have really good traction and feel extremely stable. Sizing is right in line with everything else with La Sportiva. I probably wouldn't personally take them on anything more intense than a light hiker, or around town as I don't like to roll my ankles but these work great for everything else. Another really nice product from La Sportiva! |

These are descent pant. I'm use to prAna's and still prefer them much more than these. With that said I think the fit is really good everywhere, except for the waist. For me the waist is too large and tends to bunch right in the front which is annoying to me. Other than that they've been really comfortable pants. |

I've used this jacket for a bit of everything. Trail running, skate skiing, hiking etc. It's a great jacket for very cold weather but didn't do that well with breathing when things heat up indoors. I'm really happy with the jacket, I just use it for colder temps and for certain types of effort. The brushed fleece is a very nice, soft lining and feels great inside the jacket. All in all it's a great jacket! |

This really is a great iron! Plenty of surface so it doesn't feel like you're trying to iron with a curling iron. The heat is extremely consistent and the base cleans of old wax very easily. This might seem like a small thing but I've had irons with the cord too close to the base and it seem to always be in the way. This is just in the right spot so you don't have to worry about the cord landing on hot wax! If this thing ever wears out I'll buy a new one for sure! |

What a lucky find! I guess you expect that from a company like TNF and even more that a great company like Backcountry.com would be on top of it having them available to us. I've always hated trying to lace back up the boots to go tent to tent, or let the laces drag and you have wet, dirty laces. These booties have worn very well and weren't any extra in my pack. They compress extremely well! They're wicked warm so no more cold feet getting into bed after a midnight run to the boys room. |

These seriously are the best socks. I use them for everyday, trail running, climbing, hiking and mountaineering in warm weather. They're really amazing. Toe socks in general aren't the same. They've got this down to a science, even the direction of weave and thickness of material in between the toes is sorted on these socks. I kept getting blisters in between my toes from trail running so these made complete sense. Since I started wearing them I haven't has a single blister. They maintain shape, wick well and last way longer than my other $15 socks. Great product!!! |

I've reviewed them before but have a little more to say. These gloves are turning out to be completely bombproof! I've been using them lately to scramble up some steep rocky climbs in the cold and they're holding up like champs! After a few times of wearing them they start to really conform to your hands well. The leather, I'm sure, will wear out eventually but no signs yet even after 2 or 3 dozen climbs. Especially for the price these are amazing gloves! You'll love 'em!!! |

Fits true to size, no issues of zippers pulling the whiskers like a lot of companies have and the thumb holes rock! I also like the Merino Crew from Backcountry. They're using the best stuff for these shirts and it definitely pays off. My skin is very sensitive to wool but I've had zero problems with this stuff. Buy it!.... best money you'll spend! |

These are some great cycling shoes. I was skeptical when Northwave first hit the scene but I ended up with a contract to wear them for a while when I lived in Italy. Back then the soles were far too soft but they've come a long way since that time. Now their plenty stiff and have all the nuts and bolts of an amazing top end cycling shoe. They've always been very comfortable though. I never felt any hot spots and never had issues with any portion of these shoes. They especially look euro in white/silver....if you wanna go that road. |

These are great Euro style socks! Taller cuff, great wicking material, perfect amount of movement in the ankle and enough beef in the toe and heel so they don't wear out too quickly. I personally like the taller cuff! This one is perfect. It hasn't gone complete italiano by raising the cuff nearly halfway up the calf.....it's just right! These are really comfortable socks. Can't really ask for more! |

I wore Shimano's for a long time. They always were and always will be super comfortable! They've got incredibly stiff soles and fixed the issue they had back in the day when the stainless steel mesh wreaked mass holes in the toes of your socks. Now their great! The only thing I'd recommend as a side note is: be careful when cleaning the carbon soles. I've wiped them off before, mainly by the cleats, and got some shards of carbon in my fingers.....which really sucks! |

These are quite possibly the best shorts you'll ever buy! Craft is anal retentive about details like seems everywhere on the short, length of the bib portion, length of the actual inseam. These are the most comfortable bibs I've ever worn. They move well no matter what position on the bike you're in. They don't ride up or down. They breathe very well. Sizing is right on. They wick sweat extremely well in fact these are the first shorts I haven't felt like a saltine cracker at the end of a 6 or 7 hour ride in the hot sun. A lot of money, yes, but they're worth it , in fact you'll end up buying a lot more than one pair! |

Killer Race Tires!
11-09-08 ![]() |
I've loved Vredestein tires for a long time. I never really noticed a bigger problem than most in terms of flatting. If you're pulling a ton of miles every week they'll be really comfortable, expensive training tires. These tires feel the most like tubulars without the glue that I've ever used. They grip well, aren't difficult to install and run great. I like to train on them but I know that I'm going to be replacing them a bit more than cheaper, harder tires. I guess that's the price of comfort. |

Great for everything!
11-06-08 ![]() |
Okay, so now I've used this pack for about everything. Biking, skiing, climbing, hiking, trail running and the list can go on and on and on. It's been great for everything! It's really pretty light alone so running with it was no problem. It's comfy enough that biking/hiking was no problem at all. There are enough compartments and expansion that you can fit plenty of gear inside. This was definitely a good find and well worth the dough! |

Amazing Pack!
11-06-08 ![]() |
This is an absolutely amazing pack! Osprey added everything you'll need for a nice climbing outing. I don't pack heavy enough to use this only as a day pack. I can use this for a 4 or 5 day job. I tend to have heavier gear than bulky so my packs end up heavy but Osprey stayed right in line with their norm so this pack is wicked comfortable! They thought of pretty much everything including a daisy chain, several gear loops, shovel or axe regions without the stress of destroying your pack. There's not much extra I could think about adding to this pack. I've been very, very happy with it. The only thing I did was I waterproofed it with Nikwax UV proof and I bought the Osprey Rain cover from backcountry. |

Amazing Design!

Finally, someone designs a snowshoe that will react like a clipless pedal on a bike but keep you out of trouble at the same time. What a great design! These are bomb proof but not overly heavy. the crampons are plenty beefy. We are really psyched about these shoes! They seem amazing so we'll see with durability. That's the only question. With the clip-in system, I'm hoping there aren't any problems way out off the trails but so far so good! |

She's had complaints about these items from other companies..... fits a little funny, seam issues, support issues and the list goes on. This is one of the first that she's had zero complaints about. Staying in line with GoLite there isn't a ton of extra material but she say's there is plenty of support. Running or anything else higher impact has been no worries. She loves it! |

They're plenty adjustable and seem to be a perfect addition to the keep it warm/dry arsenal. OR stuff has always worked very well for me and I expect the exact same from these! Plus they have the cuteness factor with a little flowering on the sides:) |

I bought a pair of the longs and the 3/4's and they're both great. I'll get more since I wear them for PJ's most days! I do wish they were a bit longer, maybe 2" or so, but they're really great as is! |

I slipped this cover over my pack and the thing worked like a charm. Kept everything in my pack totally try, kept my pack dry too, and got totally dry itself just by shaking it a little bit. One of those things to buy, just in case........ what a great purchase! |

This is a great bag setup! Bought a pair for my wife and I and we absolutely love them. They have more room than most mummy's and are plenty warm. I'd dare to say that 0degree is a little on the modest side for this bag. Mine got a little wet during a drenching and dried very, very quickly. They compact extremely small in an OR compression sack. We love the design of having an integrated pad! It's one of the best things about this bag! Way to go BA! |

I bought this on clearance and it's been my favorite light jacket/layer I own. It's super soft and breathes very, very well! It also dries very quickly. The only bummer is, I was up camping and my buddy dropped some logs in the fire while I was leaned over doing something and it popped an ember out on my back. Needless to say, this jacket doesn't stand up to embers, so it actually melted to my back a bit, but we patched it and I'm going to wear it for years and years to come! |

Amazing Jacket!

This is the best rain/cold weather coat I've ever bought. Went in the high hills, about 11k feet for a few days of camping, and there was an absolute rainfest happening. Didn't have a choice to take it out in a drenching in the back yard so I gave it a good test. This baby came out like a screaming eagle! I stayed dry as a bone and with the little bit of layering that I did I stayed nice and toasty. There are plenty of vents in case it warms up and really OR thought of every possible necessity and integrated into this jacket. I ended up buying the pants as well so it's a great set. Works perfect with a harness and climbing helmet! You wanna stay dry/warm..... this is the rig! |

This is a great great set. I prefer a little more than a spork and this set is perfect. Very light, durable, no nasty taste or texture. Just a really good set! |

Great All'rounders

I bought these for my wife and she absolutely loves them. They've been great in the water, on trails, in the sandbox, at the park and just kickin around the house. She did notice that the stitching on the strap around the ankle rubbed a little funny but after a few wearings she was happier than before we were married!:) |

Descent Shoes
08-11-08 ![]() |
Okay so I've tried a lot of different trail running shoes which basically means I've had problems with all that I've tried and moved on from. First the positives: The are extremely stable shoes. They're very light and GoLite's suspension idea rocks.....in a big way! The lacing system is something I really like. Pretty much everything about the upper and inner portion of the shoe was a big plus for me. The only negative: I went through 4 pair of these shoes in 6 weeks! The soles fell apart on the toe of the first pair. The other three, from the ball of the foot forward, just completely fell apart. Maybe this is a case of a little too much Lite and not enough Go. Maybe I'm a freak......for sure!, but the bonus is BackCountry took care of me well on every pair. Onto the next shoe! |

These were bought as kicking around shorts and they did that exactly how I wanted them to. They feel pretty beefy but breathed well too. The best thing was in Mexico a bunch of people thought I was in the army so they left us alone.... for the most part. |

I took these shorts to Mexico and they were perfect! Not too much like a tourist and I got a lot of looks on the beach, but that could have been for my belly. Fit was great. They're plenty long and left plenty of room to move. Even got in a little surfing and they were great for that too! |

As with almost all Carhartt stuff, these are wicked durable and very comfortable. I bought them for a little work, but a lot of hard play and they're great! Plus my wife say's my butt looks nice in them which is an extra bonus! |

Comfy shirt!

I bought this as sort of a hybrid casual/semi-dressy shirt and it was well worth the money. It's very breathable, doesn't hang too hard against your body and has a great texture. I'm very happy with it! |

This baby has it all. I have a ton of Swiss Army multi's but this thing takes the cake. I really can't believe how much stuff it really has. I thought there might be something missing or something that wasn't beefy enough but I was way off. It not only has everything but all attachments are sturdy enough. |

Perfect Trail Runner!
05-07-08 ![]() |
This is one of the best trail running shirts I own! It's very, very light but warm enough when you get to some high altitude. 3/4 zipper lets it breathe. Salomon claims it's a snug fit through the mid section, which could be a problem if you've got too many extra kilo's but I found it to be a perfect fit! It's very true to size. I don't use the stash pocket as I run with a Speedemon. I have no complaints. Great product especially for the money! |

These are some of the best shoes I own. They're wicked comfortable, don't have any weird pressure points on your feet and grip plenty well on my board. I get tons of compliments from people around town. Plus, I heard they're going to be hard to get since the Unicorn is now on the endangered species list.... except for remote areas in Mongolia! |

Great Trail Runner!
04-21-08 ![]() |
This is a killer trail running shirt. I wear a base layer under everything, and this thing seems to wick sweat off my base layer well. It's really light, to the point you hardly know it's there. The material is super soft so wiping sweat away from your eyes with your upper arm or shoulder doesn't irritate your skin around your eyes at all. All in all I'd say this is a perfect trail running shirt! |

Wicked Cool Pants!
04-21-08 ![]() |
These pants are great! They're very light weight, very flexible(not stiff as a board) and seem to be a good length. I did have to go up one size as the regular size I wear was wicked tight in these. They're great though and I'd recommend them to anyone in need of some sweet bottoms! |

Great Socks!

These are some of the best socks I've ever owned! They seem to have just the right amount of cushion but they're not hot at all! They're a little taller than an old school defeet cycling sock but not too tall. They have great support over the entire food. I bought four pair and will buy plenty more as time goes one! Highly Recommended! |

Amazing Fit / Function
04-19-08 ![]() |
I've done nearly 100 miles in my XT's now and think they're amazing! The fit was perfect... they might even rival my Ferragamo's. I haven't done a ton of running in the wet so I can't say they're ultra waterproof, but they've been great for traction on technical trail and off trail as well as in the snow. They are plenty breathable! I'd recommend these to anyone that wants a great fit, the best lacing system and all the nuts and bolts of a really amazing set of tools on your feet! |

Killer Shades!
11-13-08 ![]() |
These goggles completely rock! The frames fit well, super comfortable. They're not a massive pair of goggles. They're all around just super cool protection for anything to do with the snow. The killer portion of these goggles is the photochromatic lenses. Briko sunglasses tried to do this 15 years ago but never got it down solid. Zeal has done it! These lenses are worth every penny of that 2 hundy price tag. You literally can wear one pair of goggles from morning til well after the sun goes down. I love mine! |

Great T!
03-11-09 ![]() |
Really nice t-shirt! They fit true to size but the body is just a little long for the size. It's not overly long but longer than normal. They have a great cut. They're very thick shirts and the colors are really nice. I picked up all three colors and love them! They also wash very well, clean well and don't fade or haven't in the first 2 dozen washings. Great product from great people! |

Nice Tumbler
03-11-09 ![]() |
Picked up a couple of these tumblers and I love them. I took them up for a little winter camping and they kept my drink very warm for 5 1/2 hours while we got to camp and set everything up....in -10ºf temps. The sipping compartment in the top doubles as a storage for sugar/creamer or whatever your flavor might be. Haven't had a leak yet and I've never burned my fingers so I think it's another great buy from great folks!!! |

We picked this one up because it was a really good price. This is only a tank top and has no support at all. As with most North Face stuff it ran big so you may want to size down. |

Nice Goggles!

These are great goggles. As always, nice lenses. They fit well and are very easy to adjust. The style is nice too. They aren't as large as a lot of goggles these days and they're a bit squared off which is a nice touch. Backcountry.com carries replacement lenses too which is a plus. I'm really happy with these goggles! |

Great Coolness Factor!
11-09-08 ![]() |
These booties are great for the coolness factor! Other reviews say they rip too easily which I partially agree with. They do rip when you walk on them much but the same thing will happen if you walk outside in your socks. These are great for when the air is chilly but you can really wear them in anything but really, really warm weather. They're also great for protecting your shoes. Do they rip, yes. Buy a few pair and be a little gentle but they're great for the coolness and great for what they are intended for. If you try 'em you'll love 'em I trained and raced every day in these for years and love them! |

Great Watch etc.....
10-28-08 ![]() |
This is a great find! This thing has about every function you could want. All functions are kind of "on the go" or as necessity calls for instead of extremely meticulous measurements..... meaning, the compass is close but not perfect, the barom./Alti. are really close but not perfect etc. They're all close enough for what this is intended for but don't expect to use this as a main source of Map/Compass. I found that the Barom./Alti. works best in Auto mode so you don't have to set the reference all the time. All in all this is a great watch with a ton of functions that come in really, really handy at some crucial times. |

My kids are really stoked to head up in the hills with these shoes! Obviously we have to wait for snow but we've been getting prepared. The main concern was how they'd fit with my kids snow boots. We tried it out indoors and they fit perfectly. They're easy to buckle and easy to remove. Color selection was good as well. They can't wait and neither can I since I'm not going to have to monkey around with bindings and bullcrap. |

Killer Sidi's!
11-09-08 ![]() |
These shoes definitely fall right in line with the years and years that Sidi has made cycling shoes. I absolutely love them when I had a contract with them in Italy but switched because back then they were super soft in the soles and I needed a very solid sole. They have obviously fixed that problem and other than that they were always amazingly comfortable. Are they worth the dough?.....For coolness absolutely! Put the color aside and note this about Sidi: they are one of the only companies on the planet that allows their top riders, ie. Bettini, Bartoli Museeuw etc, to have a mold made of their foot and the entire shoe is built around that mold. I actually got hooked up with Sidi through M. Bartoli and he couldn't say enough about them. All in all Sidi makes top notch gear and these are more of that same quality from a great company! As a thought, try some of the Castelli shoe covers to keep them looking as pimp as they do the day you buy them. |

Top Knotch Kicks!

These are some great cycling shoes. I was skeptical when Northwave first hit the scene but I ended up with a contract to wear them for a while when I lived in Italy. Back then the soles were far too soft but they've come a long way since that time. Now their plenty stiff and have all the nuts and bolts of an amazing top end cycling shoe. They've always been very comfortable though. I never felt any hot spots and never had issues with any portion of these shoes. They especially look euro in white/silver....if you wanna go that road. |

I love these socks for skiing especially. There's not a lot you need to say about them. They're pretty thin, move well, don't bunch or pill at all, wick moisture well and seem to never stink! A great product from Backcountry.com and definitely something to stick a lot of in your ski bag! |
