Not a drop reached me in seven hours of hiking in the Catskills.

I've used these pants for 2 winter seasons hiking and clinbing the Catskills and Adirondacks--They are outstanding--They shed snow and I have never wetted through--even when butt-sliding. I've worn them w/o long underwear down to 0 degrees and my legs stay warm. They breathe well and I never feel sweaty on warmer days. They are super comfy and fit great. I bought 2 prs but have only worn one so far and it has no signs of wear after at least 50-60 hiking days the past 2 winters, except for a couple crampon holes--but that's my fault!

This is a great winter bag---winged compression straps hold snowshoes tight and at 2600 cubes (lg) it holds all my winter gear--top is roomy enough for extra gloves, hats, and food and the mesh pockets are big enough for insulated nalgenes--ice axe hangs securely--hip belt is super comfy--good job by Osprey

Spent seven hours in the rain recently while hiking in the Catskills--my Precip kept me bone dry.

Love this shirt--super comfy and warm as a base layer on cold days or by itself on cool days--Wife likes it too 'cus I don't smell like a locker room! I use the sleeve pocket for a couple snacks or glasses.

Bought these for my wife--She tried them out hiking in the Adirondacks this weekend--She loves 'em--comfy and warm--windproof (it was gusting 40-50 mph and was in the 20's. Tough enough for some rock scrambling.

I bought this for my girlfriend--She loves Marmot products and always takes a Medium--This jacket however was cut quite trim in the chest and shoulders--so a size larger than normal may be a good decision.

Perfect for a family of 3 and a big dog--Loads of space inside- 50 sq. ft.- and 2 good sized vestibules for gear--Incredibly easy setup w/ hubbed pole system--Less than 2-lbs per person if backpacking.

Bought one for my wife. She got to try it out this past weekend in the ADK's. Temps in 20's and a biting wind. She hates cold, but as soon as she put on the SHero at tree line, she had a BIG grin. Warm and windproof. Very comfy climbing, w/ a hood that doesn't get in the way. She can't wait for winter to hit. Now if I could only find something to keep her feet warm.

Womens colors suck so I got her a men's small (the red and orange)--fits perfect!

This jacket is in my pack all year long--it's perfect for cool fall and spring days, and as a 2nd layer on all but the coldest winter days--It breathes very well so your base layer stays dry and sheds light precip and snow. Blocks wind too. Throw a softshell on top when it gets real nasty. Sizing is right on--not too tight--just right-- Great piece of equipment

I've had 2 pairs of these in the past and loved them-However the new "model" has a back waist panel and is cut very thin--Had to send them back.

After 2 winter seasons I still love these boots--Super comfy and warm. Great stability. I've put a ton of Catskill and Adirondack miles on these and they are still in great shape--Keep 'em clean and spray on fresh coat of silicon and you're good to go.

I am a Big Agnes lover--Pomer Hoit Bag--Love it--Seedhouse 2UL tent--Great---Their pads are the best--This bag left me w/ cold spots 2 nights this past winter on a backpack trip in the Adirondacks. It was cold - lows near 0-degrees, but even w/ a down jacket and pants on I was chilled most of the night. I like the room afforded by this bag -vs- a mummy but I'll stick w/ 800 down in the winter--Much warmer and lighter.

Easy on the back--Easy setup and take down. Enough room for my pack and 75# Golden. This is the perfect light weight tent. Spend a little extra and get the 2 person--the extra room is well worth it at a very small weight differential

This is the perfect insulating layer. Throw it on over a base layer and under a softshell and you're good to go for the coldest windiest conditions--Not bulky and the smooth fabric slides on easy.Check out the hooded version too.

I finally gave in a bought a soft shell after years of sweating in a hardshell--I love it. I was too big in the shoulders for a Mountain Hardware or Arcteryx but this fits great- I'll layer it over a Marmot Dri-Clime jacket when winter sets in. Bought one for my wife too

Bought this for my wife for winter hiking. She loves the fit and comfort--it holds all her winter gear and the winged compression straps carries snowshoes perfectly.The stretch top pocket hold alot but is a little delicate.

Great quality and performance based on friend's experience. Unfortunately the fit wasn't for me. It's cut trim so if you lift or have a large upper body this may not be for you.

Great boot---comfy right out of the box-used them on a 10 mile traverse of the Blackheads (Catskills) Lots of ankle support--haven't used them w/ crampons yet

I have used the Dri-Clime while hiking the Adirondacks and Catskills in everything from 25F and snow to sunny and 60F. I use it as a layer or as an outer garment—its wicking ability is nothing short of fantastic. I don't leave home w/o it!
