I've had this jacket for two months now and love it. It's light weight and has an attractive fit. I'm 5'2" and was a little hesitant as things generally don't fit me properly. But this jacket proved to be perfect and the sizing chart is spot on. It has a great length and a flattering fit. I's the first time I've actually felt that I've had a nice shape in a winter garment. I often ride my bike to school and work and am pleased that when my jeans sneak down in the back the jacket conceals and keeps my lower back warm. I am also able to throw my hair up in a ponytail and still wear the hood without it exposing my forehead. The pit zips are a nice touch on those chilly yet warmer fall days when a sweater isn't enough. It is quality constructed and the small details are pretty nice (zipper pulls, soft fabric around face area, etc). The pockets don't have a heck of a lot of room though. The side pockets can easily accommodate small hands and the two uppers can fit a little bigger than an ID or a compact digital camera. The inner sunglasses compartment is big but the close fit of this jacket does make bigger glasses tend to poke in the rib area, but I'm okay with that part. Another bonus of this jacket is that the fabric is really quiet and doesn't make much sound when moving. Lastly I'd like to point out the temperature comfort level. So far the lowest temperature experienced in it was 18 degrees and I was quite comfy. It has been windy here and this jacket didn't allow any breeze to penetrate it. I'll give an update later on the jackets functionality in negative degree weather to see how it stands up. Sorry about the long review folks, but I had to clear some things up to hesitant buyers.

We bought this tent this summer ('08) as the "Lightpath 3 Tent 3-Person 3-Season" was just a little bit too heavy for some of the backpacking trips we go on. We've used it 2 or 3 times back country and have been very pleased with it. Easy set up & take down with a spacious vestibule that holds two backpacks, stove, shoes, poles and other goods quite easily. This tent has been through some pretty windy days here in Southern Montana and it's brother the lightpath 3, essentially the same tent only bigger, went through a pretty bad storm with torrential rain without incident.

I opted to buy these pants after having a hard time finding them in stores. The material is scrumptiously soft but does tend to collect lint. If you are short you may have to hem them. I am 5'1" and they are about 2 1/2" too long. Other than that I absolutely love them.
