Here in South Texas when it rains, the salt don't pour, you have to pull over if your driving, and the streets are class 3 rapids. This hats rocks, a bit warm yes, but your…

I initially bought a pair of these to go on a 3 month NOLS trip with me. I wore them just about everyday and they held up superbly! They kept my feet completely dry while cr…

Don't look anywhere else for gaiters. the OR Crocs are the best in the world. They get the job done and will come with you on every trip into the mountains. They are very dura…

This jacket is great! At first I was a little concerned with the amount of down that was falling out, but after just a short while it stopped. Bottom line great jacket that wi…

This is the best waterproof jacket I've ever used. I had nearly given up on GORETEX and fully waterproof layers for 90% of my days in the mountains, but the Axiom really is mu…

If you want one jacket to take care of you no matter what you're doing, this is it. It's practically a softshell - stretch, soft and crinkle free. And, this new Gore-tex is re…

I don't use these too often because they are heavy, but if I am bushwacking or expect horrendous weather, these are on my legs. They breath well and I have not had a problem…

Couldn't ask for more, these gaiters do exactly what you expect. Excellent quality, never worry about strap or buckle failing. Top strap is very comfortable and holds gaiters…

I have this durable stuff sack in both the 15L size and the 30L size. This bag is extremely well made and should last for decades. It repels water, and thanks to the daisy cha…

I considered buying the "lightweight" Outdoor Research stuff sacks and then I realized how small of a difference in weight it would be compared to the "durable" labeled sacks…

I purchased these for ice climbing. I probably should have paid more attention to the description: “They’re designed to be lighter and more packable, with the same fit and…

my winter accent would have sucked without these. they kept the water out of my pants/socks when the snow was waist deep. good stuff, definitely worth buying…
- KYLE, 04/15/08

Love it. It has a soft, smooth feel, almost like a very thin leather, that makes only a slight swishing noise and no crinkling feel, so it is suitable for urban wear. But, cut…

I've had two of these soft shells over the last 3 years (my first one burned in a house fire) and I absolutely love it! 1. Great price 2. Amazing fit and finish 3. Absolut…

So I bought this one. Returned it. Changed my mind when it was on sale. Bought it again. I think the problem is this. Would I buy this hoody for $60. Probably. For $190? No. I…

I purchased this jacket last year for my wife and she has never looked back. The style, warmth, and general bombproofness (yes, that is a word) of this jacket has made her so…

I used this coat on several 21 day winter expeditions in the Cascade mountains of Oregon. It is great in snow and sleet, plus it blocks the wind well. I found if I was movin…

I live in Squamish BC - no better place for a jacket like this. Light enough for warm weather rain but sturdy enough in cool weather. I’m 5'7", 155lbs, 34C . LARGE fits w…

I bought these for a iceclimbing/mountaineering trip to New Hampshire. I sized them up based on the table given, for the boot i was wearing definitely needed that much space,…

I used these gaiters on a snowshoeing trip in Michigan's Porcupine mountains this January and they kept my feet dry in 14-16 inches of powder! The design makes for fairly easy…

I bought this hat for sun protection. It is nearly weightless and therefore won't add any heat to your head on an already hot day. Other hats provide shade but are too heavy,…

A great stuff sack, the fact that it is seam sealed gives you that extra bit of water protection and creates the option to use this bag to carry water from a water source to y…
- Christopher, 02/04/12

OK...so the OR lightweight stuff sack is pretty much unbeatable for what you get. It is incredibly lightweight for all you ultralight ding dongs out there....and it can take…

Paraphrasing Freedom of the Hills, bivy sacks are a bit of an acquired taste. If you don't want to haul an entire tent with you on a weight-sensitive trip, these are surprisin…

Doing high altitude solo excursions requires to count every ounce and this bivy can replace a tent if you dont insist on too much comfort and space. The Delrin pole keeps the…

The front zipper isn't “waterproof”, but there are flaps behind it that keep the water out. There are pit zips from the bottom of the jacket to halfway along the bicep. Th…

This soft shell is light as the day is long! It is also very stretchy. This will be a great mid layer for an Alpine climb or a light shell in the summer. Great Choice!…

This is a very thin soft shell, but a piece I always pack with me. It's breathable, light, durable, and water resistant. I wear this over a base layer or fleece or even a ligh…
