Not that great.
Under Armour Heatgear Loose T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's
March 12, 2007
I bought the Under Armour Coldgear Chase Mock (UND0006) I got the small, and was really happy with the fit of the shirt. Fit like a glove! So I thought that I'd get this one as well. So I got the small one and it fits like a baggy medium. I was not happy, not at all. So I returned it. Luckily for me these folks are wonderful at returns, very friendly and courteous. Bottom line is that this shirt doesn't fit tight like the other ones.

Smith Lovejoy L.E. Sunglasses
August 25, 2006
These glasses looked totally hip and fun, but it was not meant to be. They even looked great on, but they wouldn't stay put. Great looking shades do not look great if they're sliding off your nose all day.

these are for you
Von Zipper Brodie Sunglasses
August 25, 2006
I LOVE these glasses! They are just the right size for looking cool, and the coverage is great. My favorite part is how well they fit, you hardly even know they're on. If you are going to spend your days playing in the sun, and want to look good doing it, these are for you.

Not just for humans.
Kelty Yellowstone 4 Tent 4-Person 3-Season
August 17, 2006
My wife and my two dogs (kids) took the Yellowstone 4 out to the middle of Utah's West desert, where it's really dusty and our dogs get them self's extremely dirty. In our old tent there was almost no room for the dogs to sleep, with out you getting super dirty as well. But not with the Kelty Yellowstone 4 Tent 4-Person, there is plenty of room in there for both my wife, our two dogs and I, with out getting our sleeping bags super dirty from the dogs sleeping right next to us. It's like the dogs have their own room, instead of being cramped in a small tent, they are now able to sprawl out. Super Easy to "pitch" and has a ton of head room. If your interested in buying this tent, I'd recommend the foot print (SKU= KEL0291) So in short, great tent for you and your dogs, or I guess if you have kids this will also be a great tent. Maybe they should consider changing the name to "Yellowstone 4 Tent 2-Person 2 dogs" But just keep in mind, it's not just for humans, anymore.

The "Hummer" of the Crocs.
Crocs Off Road Clog - Men's
August 17, 2006
I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable these are. I do everything in them, from helping my nephew with his swim lessons, to flooding my sister in-laws yard, not to mention the hiking, oh the hiking. With their slip-resistant and non-marking soles- there's no worries. Nothing can stop the "Off Road Clogs". I love the feel in these shoes, it's like you're walking on air, they're super-and I mean super-light weight. Another feature that I love is that they are anti-microbial and odor resistant, now you can't beat that with a ten foot trekking poll. If you do happen to step in something that you really shouldn't have, or they get really muddy, no worries! Just grab a hose, river or any body of water, rinse, and they're clean. Bottom line is these are the "hummer" of the Crocs.

Great Knife.
Gerber Armor Fine Edge Knife
August 17, 2006
This is a great knife, it has it all, it's sharp, it has a clip for you to keep it "Incognito" on your pants, and the locking and one hand opening are just superb. One thing that I was surprised about though, it's a little heavy, but I got over that seeing as the knife has so many great features. Bottom line. Great all around knife.

SmartWool Mountaineering Xtra Heavy Mid-Calf Socks

With a nice thin liner, my feet were warm, cozy and blister free on my last outing which included two, 6 hour days in plastic boots on steep terrain. Recommend these to everyone.

Light weight and well worth the money.
Snow Peak Burner Sheet
August 17, 2006
Well worth the cost to protect your tent floor or to keep your stove off the snow. You won’t even feel the weight in your pack.

Awesome shovel, and I love having the probe built into the handle making for one less thing to find a place for in the pack.

Great lightweight pole. Only drawback was having difficulty being able to sufficiently tighten down the locking feature while wearing gloves. Other than that, they are a solid set of poles

If your thinking about getting a Kelty tent, this is a great companion to have. Fits snug to the tents "undercarriage", and is easy to install. Bottom line, just buck up and get one you'll be glad you did.

Dakine wallet
DAKINE Checkbook Wallet - Women's
July 24, 2006
This wallet has a place for everything, and zips up nicely to keep things safe and compact. I love that I have all my cards, checkbook and register, and even a pen, all in one place. The removable mirror and window-pocket for your ID are very handy-what more could you need? I got the blue because it was fun, but the material seems to attract dirt, so the black might have been a better choice.

Works as promised.
Yakima Beddy Jo Truck 2 Bike Rack
June 26, 2006
Works as promised. It’s obviously not designed to secure your bikes from theft (although you could always get a separate chain and lock), but it's very easy to use and store. The frame is solid and the straps are plenty strong...In other words, there's no flex and my bikes stay in place when I'm going around corners. I sort of wish they would put flat-wound springs on the skewers to keep the nuts centered...It would make it a little easier to drop the forks into place. Otherwise, no complaints!
