Ok, ok, ok. So this is top of the line gear and wool is supposed to be better than ever. However, I couldn't justify paying top dollar for a layer that was boxy, short, and unflattering. The fit wasn't feminine, and despite the fact that I bought the appropriate size (L), it sagged when I put it on. If Ibex becomes more in tune to what a lady wants in a fit, I'd be more apt to purchase in the future. |

I just bought these as a sturdy hiking shoe and think they are awesome. I wear a women's size 11 so finding a shoe that fits comfortably and doesn't make my foot look gigantic is hard to find. This shoe took no time to break in and I really like the way it looks; the colors aren't too girly and the burly sole is great on steep trails and slick, wet roots. It's awesome to be able to buy a shoe online without trying it on and have it look great and fit fantastically. |

I bought this skirt in a Medium even though I usually wear a Large (size 12-14). It's super cute and snug and sexy. Ordering the medium also meant it's a bit shorter (I'm 5'10") I do recommend ordering a size down nonetheless. The black is really versatile and flattering. The A-line works great with those who are curvy with pronounced hips like myself. My only concern is that the black will fade after washings making it that gross faded black color. On the whole, for such a casual skirt it gets a lot of attention. |

I think you'll love them.

I bought these in cappucino/brown and absolutely love them. Like the previous comment, they fog. (I've only noticed this when skinning uphill). I get a ton of compliments on them and they fit my face really well. (round med/lg face). The best thing about them is that they cover a large area and they are not so dark you can't wear them inside. They are perfect for Alaska as the sun isn't so intense. Skiing though in bright sun, I'd recommend a darker lens. Hungover and having breakfast--they're perfect! I have a girlfriend who bought the gray print/hot pink ones, and she doesn't like them nearly as much as the brown ones I have. Overall, I highly recommend them. |

It's BIG!

This air mattress is big. Two of them side by side do not lay flat in a two person tent. It has a micorsuede-type material that's pretty nice, but I'd keep this strictly for car camping. It takes about 15 minutes to get all the air out of it so you can roll it up. They don't mess around when they say "comfort series". They are big and bulky, but you do sleep like an angel... |

You'll pretty much love it.

Warm, cozy, and the fit is great. It tends to stretch out the more you wear it. I ordered a size large and should have ordered a size down. The length and width of the arms were so big you didn't even need the thumb holes. However, it's stylish practicality can't be beat! |

Pink is hot.

The belt is super cute, but a little stiff. Definitely order a size or two larger if you plan to wear it with low rise jeans. You can't beat the color! |
