I have always wanted aviators but they are usually too big for my face. These are perfect. After wearing them for awhile you do start to notice their weight, but they aren't super heavy despite having sturdy metal frames. Very nice styling. I mildly regret getting the purple lenses, as they are only appropriate for cloudy/overcast conditions (should have gotten the darker lenses for the sunny beach). Highly recommended!

This jacket feels like its made of carpet, but a very warm carpet. Used to roomier soft shells, my 1st impression was that the R4 is so fitted it's almost stiff. Once you get used to it though, you realize how warm it is. I haven't noticed any cold sneaking through, and I am always toasty. Love that it has long sleeves and a longer back. Another quality jacket from Patagonia.

I am not a huge Mountain Hardwear fan, but I took a chance and have to say that this jacket absolutely rocks! First, it is very warm--warmer than my Denali (neither are WindStopper). Second, the fit is amazing. Unlike my Denali, the Monkey Man is trim so I don't have cold air sneaking in or a lot of bulk from a cinched waist. This does run small. I got a Men's Small because I have long arms that Womens Medium does not accommodate and it fits like a dream. Oh, and the fleece is not like the shiny fur that The North Face used on its Thermal Denali, either. Mine Monkey Man is black and it is a flat black. Just a great looking very warm jacket.

I love A5 clothing and love these pants. A recommendation for those like me (5'8" with long legs), get the "long’s.” The material is thin so you don't want these for winter, but they fit great and wear pretty well (slightly stretch out while wearing).

I own a few TNF jackets, and this one is as wonderful as the others. I was surprised, though, at how boxy it is. No matter, it is one of those jackets I keep on even after coming inside...it's just so comfy!! Note that it is not airtight...layer accordingly. And, despite what the black-jacket-purists might think, the colors this jacket come in are awesome!
