like many people buying or considering buying these shoes, i work in a hospital and am on my feet much of the day. they are nice enough looking to be 'professional' and are comfortable for long hours. my only complaints are that the sizing chart is misleading (i wear a 8-8.5, and ordered 39's originally. i had to return them for 40's which the chart says is a 9. i have never worn 9 for any other shoes. also, i would say i have moderately high arches at best, but the top of the shoe does put pressure on the top of my arches. overall, good shoes that i expect to wear for years.

very light weight for the specs. good opening range and keylock gate. smooth locking and unlocking. my only lament is that i can't justify the $ to replace all my lockers with it.

I wear this jacket from the moment the mercury drops below 60 all the way through the (North Carolina) winter. It IS thin, and not for super cold winter. But it is a great 'tween jacket/hoodie. Love it. Sizing is just on. It's also great to throw in a climbing pack for the just-in-case.

After an exhaustive search for a long weekend/week long backpacking pack, I finally have found the perfect pack (for me). It is relatively lightweight, without sacrificing on suspension. Also, it doesn't skimp on the "frills" that make a pack convenient (pockets and ways to clip things) that many manufacturers assume you don't want unless you want to lug a 7 pound beast around. I appreciate the women's design aspects--no boob-crunching chest strap and waist belt angled for a woman's hips. Obviously it's not for everyone, but it's definitely worth considering if you like the luxury of a mid-size pack without the added weight that normally comes with it.
