I love these pants. I picked up a pair of these a few weeks ago and can't make myself take them off. The are super warm and you can move around great in them. I bought them to use for ice climbing and skiing. I have yet to get wet in them. I am 6'3" 190lbs and normally wear a 33-34" in the waist and a 34" long inseam. I went with the M/L and they fit me perfect. Have plenty of room in the waist due to the built in belt and the length is great. No more riding up. If you need a new technical soft shell this is the way to go. Love it.

It is great layer to add to my closet. It works as a light jacket as well as just a top. I am 6'3" 195lbs and I went with a Large. I used it this past week in Ouray for a layering piece over my thermal shirt and then just my jacket over it. Kept me warm..

I got this watch last November and love the watch. I had mixed feelings after ordering it due to a few reviews I read. But I love this watch. I got the one with the orange band. If you are a clean freak you will have to get over the fact that the band does show dirt. All the features thus far have been super accurate(must read instructions and set watch to altitude when it is given in and area) If you do that it is great. You must also take the watch of to get an accurate reading of the temperature. I haven't found a watch yet that reads the temperature accurately on the wrist. So that is just part of it. Highly recommend this guy.

I got this jacket last week and took it camping in Moab and it did great. It was warm enough to wear in in the day and block the wind. At night it worked great under my down jacket. I am 200lbs and 6'3" and got an XL and it works great. I sized up since it is the summit series which normally are more form fitting. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a light weight layering piece or a great light jacket for a windy day.

I took this shoe to Moab last weekend and it was killer. It was super sticky and felt great on the foot. I did a little bouldering in it and also did some trad stuff. I went with the 44.5 because it will pack out a little since it is an unlined shoe. Can't wait to get it on granite. I would highly recommend this guy.

This is a great head lamp. I would put this up against other lamps that cost twice as much. It was much lighter than my other lamp and had more settings as well. If you are looking for something light and that doesn't break the bank go with this guy.

I got this bag for my wife and she loved it. The first night out she got cold in the bag. The second night she was sold, she figured out how to use the draft collar and she stayed super toasty. Her feet stayed supper warm since in womans bags they add more down around the feet. I would highly recommend this bag.

This was my first down bag and for the price and weightyou can't beat it. I took it out this weekend and temperatures got down to the teens. It stayed super warm. One thing you have to remember is to fluff it up before you get into it so the down can do its job. I am looking forward to using it again soon.

I love Chaco sandals. This was my third pair to own. I use these guys all year round. I bought these so I could wear them with a nice wool sock in the winter. The hold up great for hiking on shorter days as well.

The Arc'teryx Theta SV Jacket jacket totally rocks. I got this jacket right before this winter to use as my shell for ice climbing. It is amazing and fits me like a glove. I am 6'3" and weigh 190lbs and have longer arms. I went with a size large. It has a very nice technical fit and still gives me room to put a few layers under it and the sleeves are plenty long. I have even warn the Patagonia down sweater under before. When wearing this jacket you don't have to worry about getting wet. It was a little more money then I wanted to spend at the time, but now that I have it, I know I have a keeper.

I love this stove. It is great for two people. It weighs a little more then your traditional light weight stove, but it comes with all of the pots. Boils water super fast and works great for winter camping.

I got two pairs of these socks this winter and was not that impressed with them. The are super light weight and are not for those really cold days.

I picked up a few of these guys for a upcoming climbing trip to have a few extra lockers. They came in handy because I ended up having to set up more webbing to drop down into the canyon then I thought. Worth every penny to have a few extra locker because you never know when they may be needed.

Great light for backpacking or getting off of a climb late. It is super bright and light weight. Haven't had any problems with the little guy. A must have in any pack.

I picked two of these up before a trip to Colorado. They were great we love them. They are the perfect size to carry with you on those long days out in the cold. I was able to put in my jacket pocket with no problem. They kept or hot drinks hot and my cold drinks cold. They did exactly what they are suppose to do.

I love this guy. I always gave people who had gaiters a hard time. After wearing these guys after a fresh snow, I was sold. Kept snow out of boots and also kept my crampons from snagging my pants on those long climbs. A must have for all winter sports people.

I love the feel of these shirts! The first ones I ordered were Mediums and they were to short. If you like the shirt to the top of the pants that is good! I ordered larges and I love them!!

Best boots ever! I love these boots. I have always had trouble keeping my feet warm and dry and these work great! I tell everyone they feel like you are walking on a cloud. Love them.

I got this jacket for my wife and it fits very true to size with her height and weight. It is slim fitting and very comfortable. She loves to wear it in casual settings.

I just purchased this jacket. I love it. It is super light and warm. And you can get it to fit in the smallest of bags. You cant bet the price for the jacket.

I picked these boot ups a few days ago. This is the best out of the box fit I have ever had with a mountaineering boot. I would highly suggest this if you are looking for a do it all winter mountain boot.

I was super excited when I got this glove for this climbing season. It did really well the first few days out. It fit really well. I could use all my fingers, but after a few days the started to pack out. So my gloves now fit a little big on me. I wish I would have gotten a M instead of a L.
