I've been skiing in this jacket a few times in both heavy snow and bitter cold. Overall, it's very weatherproof and breathable, but it's not as windproof as my old hard shell. I'm 5' 11", 170 lbs and got a large -- the fit is great. Plenty of room for layers without being bulky. Also, it looks good, which is nice.

These are actually 50% cotton, 36% polyester and only 14% alpaca. That's right, cotton -- a material which doesn't wick moisture, chafes, and doesn't insulate when wet. Completely lame.

First off, I don't like my chaco sandals but I do love these shoes. The fit is great and they are sturdy enough for long day hikes. I disagree with the review that says the sole is too soft. It is noticeably thin -- more like a sneaker, than a hiking boot, but I was not in pain as a result. I should also note that the sole is certainly more rugged and stiff than your average trail runner.

Spent a bunch of time hiking in these socks -- no complaints, no regrets. The cushion on the bottom is nice, as is the thinner material on top, and the cuff is just right to cover the ankle. And you can't argue with the price, or at least the sale price.

I've worn this in a variety of conditions now, and I love it. Good breathability, solid warmth, good fit. The thumb loops and zippered pocket are nice touches. Lastly, as I'm sure everyone else has noted, the wool does not stink after several wears.

This is a great ski. It’s softer than I expected given the construction. This ski does everything I want from a fat ski: great float, stable platform for landing, lays down a decent edge on anything that's not bulletproof and is maneuverable enough for trees and tight spots. And that's in the 186cm. I'm giving it five stars even though it doesn't blast through heavy crud as well as I'd like (at least in comparison to my Volkl V Explosives).
