Ok, if you were interested in buying these what would you want to know? Well they are super Patagonia quality. They are an extremely soft organic cotton, perfect length (I'm 5'6 and they fit me great) and so far no shrinkage. I am also a 30 year old mom, so I wanted a pair of pants that were versatile. These sit low enough on the hips to be stylish, but not SO low that you can't squat down. The front pockets are sleek not bulky and overall pant looks good dress up or worn casual. I might like them a tad more fitted throughout the thigh. The ONLY downside is that they are STINKING expensive. So if you're a Patagonia person, then go them. But all in all there is not Patagonia Logo except on the inside of the pants so no one is going to know you spent big bucks for these simple black pants and I bet you can get something similiar and as comfortable for less money with backcountry. If you can afford them, you'll love them. But if you can't them don't sweat it, buy something else from these guys and you will be equally as happy.

I wear these shorts ALL the time! They are VERY comfortable, have a bit of stretch and the material keeps the sweat away. I would mention though that I wear a size 4 and in these shorts should have purchased a 2.

I purchased this jacket for my daughter (4yrs). She is tall and the Girls' XS worked fit well with another years room to grow. It seems to be cut a tad different then the picture shows. The actual item seem to be a bit cropped in length and the arm length longer. It was perfect for my daughter (flipped sleeves up 1X), but note on an older girl it might seem shorter in length. I bought one in EVERY color however and vote YES!!

I have ordered several clothing items from Backcountry and this is by far one of my favorites. It is rather thin but keeps me warm. I LOVE the thumb holes, and it zips up high enough to keep the wind away from my ears when the hood it up. Would buy more if other colors were available.

I was so excited when I purchased this item, but when it actually arrived it was a TOTAL let down. It is WAY tiny (my old Nokia phone could fit in this and that's about all). Disappointment is a combination of size and price. I cannot believe I paid $20 for this tiny little thing. I have yet to be disheartened by a backcountry item, but today is offically the day. I cannot recommend this at all for the price. I would spend a few more bucks and get something twice the size. It would still be small but way more practical. UGGGG!!!! It's terrible and going back.

I purchased these Chacos for my dauaghter who is 5yrs (size 1) and they are awesome! The colors are vibrant and happy, the quality of the shoes are remarkable (just like the adult shoe) and she says they are really comfy. There is a little bit of room between her foot and the straps so she can either wear socks or just barefoot (they hang on fine without any rubbing). They great thing is that she can put them on herself and there is only ONE strap to pull down snug. If you didn't grab a pair of these, you SO missed out. I am getting ready to get another pair one size up so she will have them for later. ROCK ON!!

Previously I purchased the small SERFAS saddle bag and was really unhappy with it (it was tiny). With a little more research this time around, THIS ONE is JUST RIGHT. It's not huge, but there is enough room (comfortably) inside to hold car keys, a cell phone, a snack and some money / slim wallet (may or may not even need to expand it). The expansion feature gives it just enough additional space to add your partners cell & keys as well. Don't think huge, think compact but great use of space. The other nice thing v/s some of the others is that this SERFAS bag is waterproof (not water resistant). So if you are biking in the rain...you are good to go. THIS ONE is well worth the bucks. Grab this one and don't waste your time on the other. Also: Other reviews are noting how it hangs under the bike seat. You won't have any problem what so ever UNLESS you ride with your seat really, really close to the base of the frame (/ tire). It's just not that large a saddle bag.

My boyfriend is world traveled so he knows a great thing when he sees it. But he is ALSO very minimalistic and into the "nut and bolts" of things. I own a Nixon so I scouted one out for him for Father's Day. This one was perfect. The band is wide enough to be stylish without looking ridiculous. The silver components are durable and not too shiny. He LOVES IT!! Go for the Black band / White face (I initially got what I thought was a black band / black face, but it ended up having a brown band. Maybe ok for someone younger but but I didn't like the black on brown at all.) Also note worthy - I have purchased numerous items from Backcountry and their Customer Service is bar none. I can't say enough fabulous things about them and totally recommend them to all my friends due to their excellent service. Thanks gearheads!!!!

I bought this jacket for my friend for Christmas and the color (ADDER BROWN) is SEXY!! The fit of this jacket is very lovely on him. He says it is very light (as stated by others) as well as VERY WARM. Close your eyes at the price and purchase this jacket...well worth bucks!!!
