So I have to admit, I'm waiting to see how this levels out to the reverso. It might be a tough contest. Should be much better than old school ATC that I had and have abused to the max.

I just love the speed adjust. After having a trango for literally six years, I needed some new gear. And I picked a good one. It's nice that you can adjust the leg loops and belt with ease, no problems with it coming undone either. I picked the black/gray one and am a women's size 4 and chose to order the small. it's perfect. Also, the loops are just comfy enough to be in it all day. I got excited putting it on the first time, like I knew I wouldn't have to exchange it!

fits like a man's shirt! needs to be a little longer and not so wide for a woman. The sizing is big too. beware.

I really like this backpack but was disappointed not to have the side pocket entry....so I found a really really good deal on the women's Xenon and got it for the same price.... Also, I hear this pack isn't so great with heavier loads (like over 45lbs.)

I'm pretty satisfied with these trail running shoes. The first pair I ordered though was a half size too small (but my regular running shoe size ... womens 9). I wore them for a 25K and decided afterwards that my feet could use a bit more room. I thought there might be a problem with returning used shoes. You know what?? None whatsoever. I returned these for a womens 9.5 quickly with no problems whatsoever. These shoes are really sturdy trail running shoes, though it takes a bit to get used to the weight. I found that because they're built for kick-butt trails, the weight of the shoe allows for extreme accuracy in foot placement without a thought of slippage.

The price almost gave me a heart attack. So I had settled on the Ariel instead. Mistake! I shop around, I check the reviews...It seems that everyone loves this pack. I ended up finding this pack through another site that was selling it for the same price as the Ariel (about $250) I was ecstatic to find such a deal. Planning on putting this new pack to the test this weekend and am so looking forward to it. It fits really well, is super comfortable and has really intuitive compression straps that can be converted for multiples uses including a separate water carrier and day pack.

With the lining of this jacket and minimalistic fit, I would say it's a little warm for running. The fit is also strange too, with the back a little longer than the front. This is not needed after all, it's not a mens' dress shirt. I exchanged for something smaller, lighter, but still marmot.

I've been really impressed with SportScience apparel. Until recently, I hadn't even heard of the brand. Actually, the sweater was my boyfriend's....until I stole it out of his closet. I love how comfy it is, have admittedly slept in it, and wear it as a campfire piece after a long day hiking. I've worn it on the trail too, but sometimes get a bit sweaty in it. I keep looking for the women's version to pop up on steapandcheap, but have yet to see it.

I bought the Flex Jacket hoping to run in it. It has reflection strips on the arms. The material seemed a bit thicker than I was desiring, but mostly, the jacket is a size too big! I ordered it in medium, but the jacket must have been sized for a large. If you order, order one size smaller than usual and you should be satisfied with your order.
