I love this life jacket because it's specially tailored to a women's body. It fits more comfortably than any other life jacket I've tried out and is comfy for kayaking.

Love this life jacket because of the pockets! Great place to store essentials. Comfortable adjustable fit, bold colors.

I love these pants because they are made out of recycled materials and they are super warm. I'm tall so the men’s fit better than the women’s.

This shirt looked cute, before I put it on that is. After I put it on, it looked like some kind of bike jersey...not a rash guard. It fit really tight and weird in places. Just bad!!

I like these glide saddles because they make it easier to load a kayak by yourself. Just get the kayak onto them and push it on up. you won't scratch your boat or damage your car. also gives a great place to have your kayak rest on.

I have 2 pairs of these goggles. They fit small, low profile. I like the mirror lens for sunny conditions. The sensor mirror isn't all it's cracked up to be. In fact I choose my persimmon Spy goggles over the sensor mirrors on cloudy days.

I agree with the reviewer above, these glasses fit really good on my head but they are too small in the lenses. I guess if you had a really small face they would fit, either that or put them on your kid. I don't wear mine!

So these bars are good QUALITY. But I've had Yakima and Thule stuff and Thule is definitely better with their square bars. Stuff just stays up there better for sure.

I had these on my old 98 Ford Ranger. They really didn't fit that great and I would say I wasn't that confident in my stuff staying on my roof with this system.

I have a few different helmets including this one. It's so unbelievably light compared to my old Giro helmet. I love how the vents have removable pads so when it's hot I take them out. I like how big the vents are so I don't overheat. All of my goggles fit really well with this helmet.

I like this bag because it has everything I need and it's so lightweight. This is what I throw into my bag when I go for a day hike. I threw in a few extras like pain killers and matches. This is essential for anyone hiking in the backcountry.

I love these tie downs because if I am going far with my boats I feel more secure about having them on the roof with these bow/stern tie downs on there. You always get a little lift when you have kayaks on top of your roof but when I crank these down it really cuts that out. Love em.

I have a bunch of Sealine bags and I love every one of them. I have one of these see through ones and I like to use it for FOOD. I put clothes and personal stuff for river trips in non see through ones. I like using my clear one for food so I can dig out what I want while I'm on the river really fast.

I paddled one of these babies down the middle fork of the Flathead River in Montana. Wow, what can I say. It was an unforgettable experience. It is definitely a fun boat, but it kind of bucks when you hit big rapids which in turn causes you to get flipped out of it. This would be a really fun boat to play around in on more mellow rivers and lakes, but from my experience with it I wouldn't take it on anything over Class II.

So this boat rocks pretty much. It's the CADILLAC of kayaks. I found it to really track well in the water, but it does feel a little squirrelly when there's an undercurrent. It was almost hard to keep it going in a straight line at times. Stronger paddlers definitely. I like the rudder but it doesn't help noticeably unless you're in a really rough situation. The material that it's made out of is nice and shiny but seems like it could break easily.

I like this boat because it's really easy to turn around on a dime. It's suuuuper stable (it's really wide). The seat is really comfortable and there is plenty of room in the cockpit. It doesn't track that great if you're trying to tour for a long time but it does good in moving water and stuff like that. I thought it was kind of weird that the cockpit on it was sooo big. That kind of defeats the purpose of having a sit in kayak, doesn't it? But just throw on a spray skirt and you will be fine! And actually if you had a small dog you could throw them in there in front of you.

I've paddled a bunch of Carolinas and always have had fun in them. This boat is so versatile and easy to paddle. It's stable and it tracks well. It is made out of a durable plastic so I didn't worry about bashing it on rocks when pulling into shore. I like the hatches, store my food and extra clothes for day trips in there. My only complaint about this boat is that the cockpit seems a little small for someone that is 6 feet tall with long legs.

So I have a bunch of Nalgenes and I love them to death. They are indestructible. But this one is so hard to clean because of the narrow mouth that I almost never use it!

I really like this bag mostly for all the features it has. It's super lightweight and bombproof. I really like how the pull tabs on all of the zippers are glow in the dark. I'm a chick and I have the guy's version because I'm so tall and it still fits great. It packs down pretty small.

I really like Snowbird. I never had a day there when I thought the snow sucked, it was always great. They have all sorts of terrain, something for everyone. Mineral Basin is very awesome, a different world from the front side. P.S. Ski patrol at Snowbird is exceptionally awesome.

Okay so my landlord has these boots and I have stolen them a couple times to use with my carving skis at Breckenridge. These boots are SO STIFF. Oh my geez. I usually ski on Garmont G Rides, but those are nowhere as stiff as these Langes. They are really good for racing around and freeriding (hence the name). I didn't like the way they felt when I landed off jumps because they were so stiff. But the stiffness really gave me so much control in carving, I felt more secure turning and going faster.

Alta is the best place to ski ever. Not only is the skiing and snow great but the scenery is just absolutely unbelievable. And a major plus, NO SNOWBOARDERS!!!!!

I really like this jacket because it's so CUSH. The feeling of the fleece is unlike any other kind of fleece out there, and it's super cute. I usually wear a large but found this particular jacket to run really small so I had to sign up. It has a nice cut to it, not boxy like North Face fleeces.

Loved these shorts. I wore them kayaking. They are lightweight and dry really quickly. Comfortable fit and quality construction.

The vest is comfortable but it doesn’t do a great job keeping warm in the cold. Seems like most Columbia stuff, fashion, not function. Boo.

I think this is a good boot. The vibram soles are really good in the snow. They're super warm. My boy likes them for snowshoeing because of the little lip deal on the back for a more bomber connection. He also hooks his gaiters on the D ring, nice feature.

I like these bindings a lot. Mounted on K2 Public Enemys. They make the ski a lot stiffer underfoot, but that's good, right? Great action on the touring part and good quality/durability.

The 6 liter bag is good for extended trips where water is sparse. It's easy to fill right from the river and add a water purifier. It’s great for hanging in a tree for a shower or to wash hands before cooking. The only downfall is that carrying six liters of water is pretty dern heavy.

I like this stove because it's small and has an adjustable flame. It's downfall is that the flame goes out really easily when it's windy out.

I have these boots for winter use and they are awesome. Not only are they super warm, but they are waterproof too. I can trudge through the snow for a long time without getting my wet feet. The traction is unbelievable, they grip even on solid sheets of ice.

Even for non outdoorsy pursuits. When my room mate and I go to shows we take this backpack with us. It hold a bunch of stuff. He especially likes it because he can stash his whiskey filled nalgenes on the side pockets. It's not too big and not too small. Good size. I would use it as a day hiking pack...that is, if it didn't smell like hippie.

I have these Prodigy goggles, as well as some other Smith goggles that just don't fit well. These Prodigy Goggles fit flush to my face and fit great with my helmet. I've never had them fog, quality.

Ok so I'm a wimp. I grew up in florida. My toes absolutely FREEZE when I'm skiing. Stick these babies on and throw on my boots, and I'm good to go. they don't last the 8 hours they say they do though. More like 5.

Nothing worse than losing a bit of that nice mixed drink to the ground. Uh uh, get one of these babies and you'll be set to go. Plus you won't be dripping rum and Coke all over your new North Face shirt. Good stuff.

Buy a couple of these babies, and slap them on everything. Gotta represent the best damn gear store ever.

I like my Hyperlight tent but it is kind of cramped for 2 people plus gear. Add a dog and you've got no room, so get the 3 person. I think it's a little awkward getting out of the tent when the rain fly is tied down. But the tent takes wind and rain really well. It could have better venting.

I've had this for awhile and just recently used it for the first time. It works great and fills up a big nalgene really quickly. wish it was a bit smaller but oh well.

This pack is super comfortable, the straps are the right size and I like the adjustable sternum strap. My boyfriend and I fight over who gets to wear it on hiking trip, it's compact and nice.

I steal this shirt from my boyfriend all the time. It's lightweight and keeps me warm skiing. It wicks really well and doesn't stink too much (unless he wears it, that is).

I really liked this stove because it has an adjustable flame. It boils water really fast and also is great in high wind. The refillable fuel canister deal is sick too and I like the versatility of being able to use different fuels.

Loved this paddle because it was so darn LIGHT! I'd say it had medium stiffness when encountering hard strokes in the water. It's crazy how light it is, it really noticeably cut down on my arm fatigue.

Great item for groups as stated. If you've got 3 or more people it works great. Boil water, make some eggs, mix some oatmeal. This is a good setup. Used it for a couple huge breakfasts for 5 people and it worked well.

The above reviewer is right, with 3 people plus gear you'd never fit inside this thing. The entrance is a little tight when the fly is guyed out but other than that the tent is awesome. Could use some more ventilation.

This is a must have for anyone transporting kayaks or canoes. These straps are really thick and durable. Feel safe knowing your boats are going NOWHERE when you're crusing at 80 on the highway.

The above reviewer is right. I was a little leery of wearing wool next to my skin. This is a little rougher than regular cotton but it's still comfortable. I found that it really helped regulate my temperature, I was pleasantly surprised at the way it peformed in keeping me at the right temps. Awesome!

I loved this tank not so much for the color but the fit. It is cut just right. The straps are adjustable which is always nice. The fabric is a little stretchy, and it runs true to size.

I used this vest kayaking on Lake Powell. It's great! I love the range of movement, it's almost like not wearing a vest at all. Comfy in kayak seats. Good buy!

These shorts are super cute but they run about a size small so order up. The belt is really neat. They are a little thick fabric wise, I'd wear them hiking or backpacking.

I like these board shorts. I used them for kayaking and they dry SO fast it's awesome. Very cute look and cut.

The Clash is such a fun and versatile ride. Take it on groomers, take it in pow, take it into the park. It will handle anything. Easy and fun to ride. I think the graphics on my board from a couple years back are way better than this years though!!

I have a slightly older version of this pack and don't get me wrong, it rocks. It is huge, great space. I love how the hip belt is super plush padded, and it fits me really well. But the pack itself is HEAVY compared to others in its class.

Use this glue to keep my glidelite skins stickin to my boards. Works great, can lose it's stickiness in super super cold conditions.

Love these skins, they grip really well. They fit on Hippy Stinx and K2 Nancies well. I don't know if they're worth the whole price but that's a different story!

I love this vest, it's super warm. But it runs big so order a size down. Very good to wear under a shell when it's super cold or over a hoody around town.

It's a footprint, you need it. Get it so you don't mess up your sick Hubba Hubba tent.

I absolutely love this Hubba Hubba tent. The ventilation rocks, the material rocks, the set-up is so easy. It is bombproof. No condensation on the inside after a thunderstorm, no leakage. Love it.

I bought this package for my roommate and he loved it. The harness is really comfortable and this is a good starter package for any beginner.

I like these shoes because they don't kill my feet but they're still good for bouldering and some climbing. Get them snug because they break in a little.

I got this top for climbing but I use it for hiking mostly. It breathes really well and is super comfortable. Good support and the straps are nice too.

I like these socks and use them for light hiking and stuff like that. They seem to be cut a little short.

I love my smith snow eraser so much I keep it in my ski pants pocket at all times. I use it almost everyday to buff off my goggles. Good stuff.

Used these for hiking in muddy spring snow conditions, and they worked well.

Loved these shoes. The XCR is a great bonus, hiking through muddy trails and rain is no problem. Great support and traction.

I use my locks every day pretty much to lock my new skis on my roof rack. I feel comfy knowing no one is gonna snatch them. Never had any problems with them freezing up.

I love this beacon because it's so easy to use, and that's what counts, right? The harness is easy to put on and comfortable too.

I got this to wear under my helmet for skiing. It works great and wicks sweat away. But the stupid SWIX logo is a huge embroidered patch that hurts. OUCH!

I like the Method's fit. I have a medium face, and they looked good on me. They are a medium-sized frame. The black is slick!

Loved this shovel and probe combo. I like the whole design and durability, but wish the shovel had a D handle instead of T. Other than that, bomber.

I love this cookset because it is durable, first off. It's also really light which rocks. Enough pots to make a really good meal on the go.

I love my Petzl tikka plus. It's so lightweight. It would be nice if it threw off a little more light but that's what you get for this size of lamp. It's great for reading or digging out stuff in your pack when you're camping.

It's a nalgene! Get one, they rock! It will last you forever, never break...clean it with lemon juice and baking soda to get that rum smell out of it from your river trip!

Boyfriend loved his capilene silkweight boxers!

Before you wreck yoself. This is a great landing pad. I've used it mostly for bouldering. Love the pocket.

Love this chalk, just break a little bit of it up, throw it in your bag, and off you go. Smooth like buttah.

Liked this a lot, don't have to spatter chalk all over the place. Good stuff.

I love this hat it's super cute. It sticks up a little poofy high in the front but that's alright.

I bought the trackers to fit onto my Honda Element. They fit into the slots perfectly and were flush with the roof, looks great.

My boy has these prana pants and wears them ALL THE TIME. They are super soft and comfy, I even steal them sometimes. They seem to run on the long side though, and from what he says a little small in the waist. He uses them for hiking and camping, they are really durable.

I've used these Black Diamond poles a few times, and I like them a lot. Easy to click and adjust length. They seemed durable until my boyfriend nicked a tree with one and it totally broke in half. D'oh!

I demoed these last season. They are super flexy and fun to ride in pow for sure. Great for jibbers. I don't think they'd be the greatest on hardpack because of the flex.

Got these for my Denali Classic snowshoes and love them. Really great flotation, noticeable difference when compared to the snowshoes without on powder.

I've had this Hind bra for about a year and use it mostly for skiing or trail running. I really like the built in cups and support. It's also pretty breathable and not hot. I do NOT like how the straps cut into my shoulders so much. They need to be thicker!

I love my redpoint jacket. It runs big, I usually wear a large but got a medium. The sleeves are a little short but otherwise it fits great. I love how warm this jacket is but it's still thin and not bulky. I got soaked while wearing this thing in rain/snow and it kept me warm even then. I just wish mine had a hood.

I have the Ride Lx bindings from a couple years ago. I like them for freeriding and have them on my rock board. I don't use them very much but they're good bindings. Pretty versatile because they're not very stiff. The toe strap is a little uncomfortable compared to my Burton Lexa bindings but it works.

I used this bag on a trip to Lake Powell, when it was raining at night. I loved it! I stayed warm and toasty. It's cut super wide so you can actually move around and bend your legs inside of it.

Love this steezy beanie, great for nights on the town. You can even take the top pom pom off, it's sick. Love it.

I've had toasters for years now. Lost a couple pairs, bought new ones right away. The fit is great, a little on the small side. Love the interchangeable lenses. I use them for biking or running because they're pretty light.

I have these Marmot mitts from a couple years ago. They are pretty warm and really waterproof. I like the leather stuff on the palms, since I ski they grip the poles really well. I do think there is a little too much room inside the actual mitt, so they aren't as warm as they could be. But I've had them for awhile and they're definitely quality.

My boyfriend mounted these on his new public enemys. He noted that they added a lot of stiffness underfoot, something to get used to. I skied them and noticed the same. The actual function of the touring part of the binding is very bomber and looks like it will hold up over time.

This was a gift for my mother for mountain biking. She likes the accessibility of the water but didn't really like the fit, it cut into her shoulders.

I bought this for my dad for mountain biking. He loves how it's low profile and easy to access his h20.

I love this seat for river trips. I like it over others because the back is cut higher, so it doesn't bend over when you lean back on it. You can actually lean back into it and relax.

I have several Baja dry bags and will purchase no other brand. I use them for river trips and kayaking and the are awesome. Very durable materials.

These sandals are the best ever. The bottoms mold to your feet for a custom fit. They actually last a long time, I've had mine for several years.

The MSR Denalis are a no brainer for those looking for a quality pair of snowshoes. I like these because the crampons are so durable and they are super light weight.

I usually ride on Diamir Explore bindings but had a chance to try these out. In short they are bombproof. They are noticeably stiffer than the Explore version. The action clicking in and out is much smoother and I didn't have any rattling while skiing on hardpack.

I bought this for my father for Christmas last year. He lives in Florida but travels quite a bit. He loves it because it is so versatile, he can unzip the fleece for just a light jacket, wear the shell alone for rain, or both for ultimate protection. A+!

I bought this jacket for my brother last Christmas and he loved it. It is pretty thick, thicker than other models of The North Face fleeces. Very cushy and soft. It runs true to size.

My boyfriend has had one of these jackets for a few years. It has treated him very well. For the most part it's waterproof and breathable. It's cut kind of long for his liking. But it needs to be washed with Techwash and taken care of, which he hasn't done. Now it's lost it's waterproof ability.

This shirt is super cute and you should see people's faces after they realize what the print is. Scandalous, and lovin it!

This shirt is so soft and nice to wear. The fabric is a little thin. And just like the picture, it is cut unusually long but it does fit true to size.

I like this top because it has a really nice print and fit. I like how you can tie off the strings on either side for a slightly higher or deeper neckline. The straps do seem like they are cut a little too long.

I like this top, it fits well and has a cute Volcom logo on the bottom.

I love this tank. I wore it everyday in the summer time. It fits great and the empire waist is really cute. The designs are hippie-ish and cute. Very soft fabric.

I bought this helmet for my boyfriend who has never worn one before snowboarding. He adjusted very well with this one and now refuses to ride without it. It's comfortable and keeps his head warm. He just wishes it had a little more venting and cushier ear pads.

I really like my Pat Baggies, I wear them all summer long pretty much. Great for kayaking, rafting, canyoneering, CLIFF JUMPING! They dry so fast and are super comfortable.

I like this hoody because it's super cute. But it's not the warmest, in fact it's kind of thin.

I got this hydration pack for skiing. It holds just the right amount of water for a day's worth of skiing. I like the two compartments on the front, I throw in a hat or some food. It's low profile and doesn't have a bunch of straps to get caught on the lift.

I like the Heli pro because it's really functional. It's got all the straps and pockets I need. I really like the top mini pocket for a camera/granola bar. I don't like how it seems like it has TOO many straps, I'm afraid to carry it on piste, don't want to be getting caught on the lift.

I use this on all of my Gore-Tex and waterproof gear. It's great, gets absolutely all the dirt out of my stuff without compromising the waterproofness. Gotta have it if you plan on washing that GTX jacket!

I bought this pack to use as a resort pack snowboarding and skiing. I really love this pack, it has convenient compartments to store little things like clif bars and cameras. The straps are comfortable. I don't like the vertical front zipper, it's hard to get open. Other than that it's a great pack.

I like these shoes a lot. They are really comfy and breathable, waterproof too. I wear them trail running and hiking. They have great traction. They get a 4 cuz they're a little ugly!

They're just load bars. But they're easy to install, work well and I like em. End of story!

This fairing is awesome, it stops the whistling in my roof rack. Make sure to measure across your roof to see exactly what size you need, the first one I got was too small. Very easy to install, make sure to tighten it down as much as possible.

I like this watch because it's so cool looking. It's got a medium to large fit. I got the brown and it's sick. The bad part is that the little metal Nixon emblems broke off within a matter of months of buying it.

I am a beginner climber and this is a great belay device. It's easy to use and well made. All of my friends have this one too. Gotta have it!

Love these glasses. They look great because they're big but not too big. The colors are great, I love the white.

Like all the Chacos I have ever purchased, these are so awesome. I bought these for my boyfriend and he wears them all the time. They're bomber in water and on slick rocks, he loves them for canyoneering. 5!

The review above is correct these do run about a size smaller than usual North Face stuff. They are a little long but good for river running. Hated the mesh liner.

I love this jacket because it's made so well. But I guess it was too minimalist for me. A more substantial powder skirt would really be nice. The fabric has a really cold backing to it, so you need to wear more than just a base layer. It fits true to size, but slimly.

Oh yeah, these shoes are definitely pimp. I get compliments on these babies everytime I wear them. Not to mention they are SUPER comfy cush!

I thought the Emeralds were alright, but they did seem to run super narrow so I had some pain from that. Once I heat molded them they were a lot better. Love the speed zone lacing system.

I liked the Lexas first off because of their sick looks. The cap straps function very well and the actual clickers on the bindings are good. They are somewhat stiff but could have been more responsive. Nice quality.

This is a fun board that is easy to control and turn. I like it because it's versatile and I can take it anywhere.

These are the best goggles I've ever tried. They fit awesome, even with a helmet. Peripheral vision is awesome, visual clarity rocks. No fog whatsoever.

I like the fit of these goggles and have two pairs. But they fog like CRAZY. I've had so many issues with them. Love the fit, hate the function.

Love these poles. They're light and quality. I would recommend them for any skier for sure.

This tent is really light, easy to set up and I think a good value for the money. It's well made and has good ventilation. It's a little cramped with 2 people and gear.

I love my frontpoint gaiters. They fit really well over the legs and boots, and are easily adjustable. Really waterproof.

I slept like a baby on this pad. It's really cushy and just like sleeping on a real bag. Loved it.

I love this pack. It's got all the features you need and none you don't. It's waterproof and bombproof. I found it to be super comfortable as well with some adjustment to the straps and waist belt.

Got this for my dad for Christmas. It's a midweight and he will use it for mountain biking. The fabric is quality and it is breathable. Runs true to size. Nice saturated colors!

I love these midweight pants, I wear them every time I ski underneath my ski pants. They fit great, but they're not the best for tall chicks with long legs. Even the size large has super short length.

This is a great comfy womens harness. But be warned it does run at least a size small. Order a size up.

I love my Blizzard goggles. I have the persimmon lenses and wear them on cloudy and snowy days. They are great, and give good definition to the snow even in low light. They never fog!!!!

Get the Public Enemy's. They rock. My friend has a pair and I borrowed them, and I'll probably steal them for sure. They are a great all mountain ski that can kill it in the park too. Stiff enough to carve hard and rip through crud, wide enough to float in pow.

I love my G Rides. They are stiff, responsive and high quality. They're easy to get in and out of, and once you heat mold them they fit like a glove. My only complaint would be the inner liner lacing is kind of hard to lace when it's cold out.

It's NOT a thin jacket, it's insulated. In fact it can get a little hot on warm days. I usually wear it with just a base layer. I love the jacket, but it's not the most breathable. But the steezy print makes up for that.

I love these bindings. I use them for touring and for on piste as well. They are pretty stiff and bombproof. I've only had them click into touring mode once when downhill skiing. They do tend to rattle a bit on hardpack, but they're made for pow anyway!

I got the Nancy's in a 179. I ski all mountain and park and LOVE these skis to death. They are so fun. They cut right through crud, float awesomely in the pow pow, and have enough flex to hit the park. My only complaint is they're a little heavy, but who cares!

In fact he pretty much never takes this hat off. He's gone through 2 already, not because they're not durable but because he wears it so much! The logo is cool, and it fits great.

I love my Thule Flat Top. I got the 6 because it's more versatile. I never have any problems with the locks freezing or the buttons freezing. It was very easy to install on my Thule bars. I use it every day and it rocks.

These skis are awesome. They kill it wherever, whether that be fast groomers, pow pow or the park. Great sidecut makes turns easy. Medium flex. FUN!

Cross between the Custom and the Fish. This board is super versatile and is a good ride for groomed and powder as well. The new year model is even better in the park. Get it!

I liked this tent because it's made well and sets up really fast, about 3 minutes. It stands up well to rain, did have some condensation on the inside.

This tank top is great. It fits really well and is cut just right. The pink color in the pic isn't as pink, it's more of a pale pink. It doesn't dry that fast but the cotton fabric is super nice to feel.

I really like this jacket because it has a very wide range of movement. Once you put it on you forget you have it on. I also like the pocket for my chapstick!

These are cool but they run about a half size to a size small and I can see how they'd cause blisters quickly. Give yourself a bit to break them in before using them for something hardcore.

This was a cool rash guard but it fit skin tight, and the collar was weird. Looks almost like a biking jersey. But it is pretty thick so it's good for those sun sensitive ones.

I liked these shorts for paddling or hiking around water. They are super comfy and soft. Very fast drying. The Garnet color is really sweet.

I bought this for my mom last christmas. she absolutely loves it and wears it all the time. The fleece on it is more cushy and soft than the Denali.

I liked this shirt because it's really breathable and lightweight. It's a little thin, the white you can see through. It seemed to be cut super short although the fit is true to size.

I like this tank but it runs a little short. It breaths really well, the straps don't interfere with any activity.

I love these gloves. They are super warm and have great waterproofness. BUT I've had them for only 1.5 seasons and the seams are already falling apart!

I got these a few weeks ago and love them. They're super warm, but the insulation isn't bulky at all. I like the reinforced cuffs. Just wish they had another cargo pocket.

Just like the review says, get rid of that duct tape setup you've got going on. This thing is sick, pack it up with your stuff and get on the road. It's easy to store your stuff in the winter time too. It didn't fit the greatest on my boat but that's my only complaint.

I really liked this paddle. It is SUPER SUPER light and seems really durable. The only thing I didn't like is that the blades weren't as stiff as I expected, so they gave a little when paddling hard. Other than that, high quality product.

This is a must have if you have an Ocean Kayak. It provides a comfy backrest so you can concentrate on paddling and not your aching back. It's super comfy, but I give it a 4 because your butt will still hurt.

Instead of putting your boats right onto your rack bars, get these Thule saddles. I've used these for all sorts of different kayaks and they work great. They are really adjustable and provide a great spot for the kayaks to rest. They are bombproof when paired with their Thule tie downs. I felt comfy driving 8 hours with 2 boats on top with this set up.

I paddled this boat into the depths of canyons in Lake Powell. I loved it. It's super manueverable and will turn on a dime. It's really stable, you can keep yourself upright while trying to knock your friend outta his boat. It's got some storage room, so it is great for day trips. It did well in boat wakes, and would be great for rivers.

This is the best touring kayak on the market. It is super lightweight, durable, has a bunch of storage room and paddles very well. It tracks so well, but can be a little unstable.

I'm definitely giving this one a 5. This boat was so fun to paddle, and is really easy to turn and manage in rough waters as well. I found it to be a really versatile boat that you can take pretty much anywhere. It's weird that the cockpit is so large, but that gives you more room.

I used this kayak on a lake trip. It's a very fast boat. I like the storage compartments and the seat was very comfy. My only complaint is that it gets a little squirrelly with undercurrents in the water...but the rudder helps that. Could have more room for taller paddlers, I'm 6' and found it tight.

This is the best kayak to use for surfing around in. It's really short and manueverable, great for messing around in waves. I found it a little hard to track well in on flat water, but that's to be expected for this kind of boat. My cousin also loved this boat, she's 8. It's easier for her to paddle.

I really like this kayak for tooling around the coastlines or lakes. It's long enough so it tracks really well. It is really durable and survived a beating of me getting it onto the beach from the sandbar (low tide). It's wide and stable.

Great boat for cruising around on flat rivers or lakes, even on the coastline. Space in middle for your dog is cool, except for when they try to jump out and knock you off balance. This boat is really durable, affordable and a great starter boat.

This is a great kayak for taller or heavier paddlers. Not so great if you're none of the above. It would be harder to manuever that way. Great for places like Florida or the coastlines, playing in the surf. Light enough to carry around on your own. Very durable. And it gets a 5 because it has a cupholder for your favorite adult beverage.

This jacket is super toasty. It comes out of the box a little thin, but chill, it will fluff up. It is a great piece to layer with or wear around the town on its own.

I like these Capris. I originally bought them for climbing but ended up wearing them all the time. They're great for climbing and lounging around. Seem to run a little big.

Nice soft hoody. Runs small, so size up one size. Like the print, colors are cool too.

These are the best riding pants I've ever owned. Period. They have too many features to list. Awesome zips on the bottoms, good venting, lots of pockets, loops for keys or pass, and an absolutely sick comfortable fit. The insulation isn't too hot either. They run long.

I love this shirt. It's great for the bar, and it's cut longer so it's good with jeans. Don't worry, even if your breath smells like garlic you'll still get hit on in this shirt!

Awesome print. Awesome fit. Awesome comfort. No complaints!

A jacket packed full of awesome features and nice style. Love the powder skirt, removable hood, and love the ninja cuffs. Vest on the inside is awesome for the bar, but is a little hot for riding. Seems to fit baggy, size down one size from your normal size.

Bought these gloves expecting them to be totally bomber skiing. Fingers were cold after just a few runs, but they are good quality. Would work well with a better liner.

I love these gloves! The removable liners are great. I like the features like the fast loosening on the cuff. There's also a small stash pocket on the top of the glove that you can stick a hand warmer. Found them to be great in wet snow and very warm.

Got this for riding, and it's so warm! Use it as a mid-layer. It runs pretty true to size, although the large seemed a little big. Like the stretch panels on either side.

Bought this as a gift for my father who is tall and wears a XL. This size fit his broad shoulders and long arms perfectly. The zip in fleece system works great. It's very waterproof, versatile and warm. Love the detachable hood.

Got the Dark Red color. Band is actually true brown leather and face is sort of maroon color. Nice face/steel frame, although it scratches easily.

Got this fleece as a gift for my mother, and she loves it. It's one of the softest fleeces I've seen out there. Seems to fit true to size.

This is the only stuff I'll use to wash my Gore-Tex clothes. It really does a great job on cleaning all the dirt and stank out of stuff.

Love this headlamp, and have a couple of them. I use it for camping and trail running at night. It's nice and light, and throws a pretty good amount of light.

Bought this shirt for riding. Found that a size large fits true to size, although the length of the sleeves was a tad short. Nice material, although I was expecting it to be a little softer for Capilene. But overall, a nice base layer for skiing or riding.

I agree with the other reviewers, they do tend to ride up a bit. But they are very comfortable. Wear them snowboarding and have no problems.

Got to use these shoes trail running a few times before the snow fell. Love the way they feel. The lacing system is nice. Found the toe area to be a little stiff. Great grip!

Cool belt. The brown one is distressed looking. Good quality, nice logo stamped in.

So my roommate bought me these boots at the beginning of the winter season here in Breckenridge, CO. I thought they looked like bomber winter boots but I was wrong. They are waterproof, but they are SO uncomfortable. I need to buy some footbeds for them now because I never wear them. I would rather wear my Vans in the snow than these because my feetsies hurt!!!!

The Denali is just a piece of clothing you must have. The weight on it is great because you can layer it or wear it by itself. It runs a little on the big side.
