Love everything but the waist
01-04-09 ![]() |
I was anticipating the waist band being a little different from the over reviews, and wasn't shocked at first, but after wearing them for awhile the waist started to bunch in weird spots. I got them for running/walking in the cold and for another layer under my snow pants and love them for that. They keep me warm and comfortable, I think I need to pull out my sewing machine and finish sewing the waist band. |

This cuts down on the noise from the rack and finishes the look. We love it! |

| The North Face Solaris 40 Pack - 2450cu in Read other reviews of this product |
Super comfy
12-04-08 ![]() |
I got this for school because I needed more room. I love how much it can hold and how comfortable it is when packed full and heavy. I wish the water bottle pockets on the side would have a bungee as my bottle has come out multiple times unless I put the compression strap around the top of the bottle. If that is too much of a pain I just slide it in the long pocket on the side. I love the hip belt and totally recommend this pack. |

Not good fit
12-09-08 ![]() |
I was excited for this jacket, but had to return it because it fit weird. Jacket has a flare at the hips which was more than I needed, and didn't have enough room in the chest for me. If you are chesty not the best fit. Also the pockets where in a weird position and the straps that sit in the pocket you can fold the coat into make unsightly bulges on your lower back. |

Not best fit

I was excited for these, but the arch felt weird on my foot and the sole was stiff. Returned for a more comfortable shoe. |

Great shirt

I got my husband two of these for working out, and he wears them all the time! It seems like I am always washing them because they are worn so much. He wears them not only to the gym but also to school because they are so soft. |

So comfy
12-08-08 ![]() |
I wasn't quite sure about these when I got them, they seemed too long and narrow and tight on the top of my foot. I switched the elastic laces (it comes with a set of longer ones) and wore them a few times and now they are one of my favorite shoes! They fit great and the soles are so comfortable to walk in. I just ended up wearing them out in the snow (started snowing after I left the house) and while the outside of the shoe was soaked it kept my feet almost completely dry which was a pleasant surprise. A great shoe! I like them so much I just got my husband a pair. |

I was a little skeptical because I don't tend to like nylon between my toes on flip flops but these ones are so comfy! I love the arch support and comfort of the soles. It's time to toss my other flip flops! |

I love these shirts. This is my 3rd and first long sleeve one and it fits so great. I love to wear it as a base layer and I never get itchy. Doesn't smell and looks cute too! |

Great pedal
12-04-08 ![]() |
I got these for my husband so he can ride to school with his street shoe and then change his shoes and hit the trail using the clips. He has had a hard time adjusting to the clips but he likes being able to pedal even if it's taking a minute to get clipped in. I don't think I would use these if you would always use bike shoes, but if you are switching between the two shoes it's a great pedal. |

Better than expected

I was a little doubtful about how windproof these would be, but they have been wonderful. My husband wears them on his bike, and motorcycle and loves the comfort and warmth they give. |

Not long lasting

Got these for my husband in August and the soles are already wearing out 4 months later. We are going to try and get an exchange through Keen, but we'll see how it goes. They didn't hold up as well as we expected for regular use. |

Small=great purse
12-04-08 ![]() |
I got the small to use as a purse because I always have extra stuff for school or for my kids I need to bring and I love the size. It has a great pocket on the side with multiple compartments and then a large one for everything else. I love using it on my bike and strongly recommend it! |

I love this for my little guy. It fits perfect and keeps him warm. It's also super soft which is important for the babies and it fits true to size, we got the 12 month size in brown. |

OK

I got this to wear running in the cool weather, but it is not cut for women who are chesty. Everywhere else it fit great, good sleeve length and perfect in the shoulders and waist. I was bummed to return it, but needed something that fit. |

Got these for my husband and ordered up. The 45 fit him like an 11 which is his normal size. He loves the way they fit and the comfort on the trail. |

Son loves them

I got these for my son, and while he has only worn them once he keeps asking when it's going to snow again so he can get more use out of them. A great boot! |

Cute and comfort

I got the shoe in moss green and love it. It is comfy and a staple for my around campus. The shoe truly has many uses, I wear them with jeans, khakis, and skirts. I may have to get them in another color ;) |

Great Bottle

I got all of the different designs so everyone in my family would have one. We use them all the time and the patters are great! Another huge bonus is these fit in the cup holders where the nalgenes didn't. |

Love it!
12-04-08 ![]() |
I absolutely love this jacket. It is cut larger in the chest, which is awesome for me because I'm nursing a baby and the sleeves are nice and long so it covers my wrist. It is pretty windproof and most days riding my bike to school it is warm enough. There is some piling under the arms which is a little annoying but overall a great jacket. |

Keeps my bike safe
12-04-08 ![]() |
These are the second set of locks for our bikes, as the first one someone tried to cut but didn't get through, YEAH! I would have been so sad to lose my bike. I feel safe leaving my bike on campus now with the lock, easy to use and I love being able to loop it through both tires. |

Best Sandals for kids!
12-04-08 ![]() |
I have these for all of my boys and I love them! They last the whole summer with throwing them in the wash every few weeks to get rid of the stink and they look brand new. One of my boys seemed to get blisters from every other pair of sandals but not these! Well worth the money. I personally order up at least half size, if not a full size at the beginning of the summer so they will last and haven't had any problems. |

I got these for running around the hospital and I love them. The first few weeks were tough (I didn't wear them all the time) as they rubbed on the top of my foot and I had to wear super thin socks but now they are one of my favorites. I just wish they were more comfortable when I bike to and from school/work so I would never have to take them off! |

Straps like to slide
12-04-08 ![]() |
This is my second pair and of this same style and I can't seem to get these straps to stop sliding. I either have to leave the strap very loose at the ankle or it cinches up on my toe. Also these are narrow, I like my other pair that is a size smaller in a wide. I'm hoping that with some more wear the strap will start to stay in place better. |

The first sandals that my husband loves. After a few months of wearing them he starts to complain about dry feet because these do such a good job of getting rid of feet sweet, but that's what lotion is for right? He really likes not having the toe strap. |
