I am so impressed by this Carhartt jacket. With winter taking hold I have just a little yard work left to take care of and I wouldnt want to work in my ski jacket. The active jacket is a great piece for getting dirty and gettin er done. My garage is cold but houses all my tools, and without my carhartts I would be stuck inside with my wife like a scared turtle.

This Gore softshell is nice, but doesnt really stretch as much as I thought it would. Really breathable and worth every penny.

There is something rewarding about being comfortable while I work. It is especially rare when the weather is piss poor and I would much rather be at home. I feel comfortable enough in this warm and durable hoody to help keep me going until at least lunch time. The only other jacket I need is the Active Jacket.

Dont mind if I do. I have a tempermental head (allways too hot or too cold) and this was like a tempature regulation system for my skull. I wish I could buy more.

At first I had trouble with this binding cause it stretched out and my tiny foot wouldnt stay in, but the rep showed me how to tighten this down to a 23.5. Give em a call, they are way chill and seem to ski more than spend time in the office. Yeah!

Ive known plenty of dirt bag climbers that dont even brush their teeth, but they never step on their rope and clean it regularly. This is your life line. Take care of your rope.

Personally I am a fan. This is a great tool for snow science. One of my favorite features is that it has a measuring grid on the side. As we all know, snow is constantly morphing due to temperature changes. I used to use the plastic case that my magnifying glass sits in or a plastic card to look at snow crystals, but the variable speed that they degrade was sometimes frustrating. The beauty of the aluminum is that if you keep it out of the sun it will be nearly the same temperature as the snow which is good for a quick analysis of crystal types. Other than that I think it is perfect for cutting a profile, building a table, or cutting a small cornice. The handle is great and doesn’t slip out of my glove. Thank you for another innovative design!

I am impressed, but unfortunately my mother was even more impressed. After a trip together she stole it from me and now I am left missing this great piece. Like Kirk said it fits anywhere and will carry on to any airline. I would buy one for every traveler I know and hope someone thinks of me this x-mas.

But it came in quite handy. It doesn’t really fit my passport snuggly, but worked fine as a sort of stow all pouch. I kept my passport, wallet, and American money in here, while I stashed photocopies of all my info in my pocket. It's good to know that all your info is consolidated and convenient for those moments you wake up in a hostel wondering if you just got ripped off. No digging around trying to find shit in your bag.

Get two bags with these pads and zip em together. 'nuff said.

Riding a bike requires balance, right. So why would you want your bag all tossed off to one side? You wouldn’t. This aint no 'man purse', this is a quality piece of gear. The cross strap balances the bag well for riding.

I bought this for my girlfriend who was complaining about her courier bag digging into her shoulder. She says it helps a ton, but she still needs to find a less labor intensive solution to studying law.

The designers at Thule are fantastic. I have these attached with the Crossroad Railing Foot Pack. This keeps my load bars close to my roof keeping my MPG at a maximum. They are impossible to steal which is also comforting. If you want a great rack for your road bike, try the V2.

Hardly. This peice is quality, but very inexpensive. Stiff competition for Marmots Precip jacket.

Hands down this is the most advance, user friendly and amazing piece of gear of its kind ever made. If you are looking for a new beacon try to get your hands on this and see for yourself.

What can I say, I like moving snow. There is no other reason to have a shovel. I get nervous when someone busts out their gardening tools and thinks that they could dig me out if there is a problem. I call bs. I need something durable with leverage and good grip. I wear mittens on cold days and have no trouble with the assembly and usage of this shovel. I used to have the wood saw inside the handle but got rid of it when i bought the g3 bonesaw.

I bought some of these Cayman clogs for my nieces, then their mother, and now for Christmas, I need to buy some for the rest of her sisters AND her father. Jeez!

This Coffee Press is God's gift to humankind, but please remember not to add your coffee grounds until you have turned the heat off. To make proper French press coffee you pour boiling water over your grounds and steep for four minutes. My tried-and tested-method is to get a second Companion Cup (Item # JET0003). I put the grounds in the extra, boil water in the other one, and pour the boiling water in the spare that is not attached to the stove. It works great!!!

“Who the hell is Flux?!?” That’s what I said when I found these at a demo last year. When I tried them out I was blown away. They were supper responsive like the Rome Targa, but they fit my supper small feet really well. The cap strap is innovative and very comfortable. Would anyone like to buy me a pair? I am very poor. Flux is carries a huge presence in the scene around Hokkaido... Cool.

Apparently ski patrol requires them. I couldn't bend my old brakes so I took 'em off. Had to buy these when I got kicked out of the lift line.

The T-grip handle is fantastic and easy to use, the color variations per section are great for easy reading. I feel that the durability for weight ratio is a great balance, even in heavy, wet debris.

I have used several beacons and this is the easiest to use. Although i personally use a different piece this is the one I bought for my brother. I feel safe in his novice hands with this beacon, even though I let him lead the way on most descents. We have been practicing a lot lately and his skills are improving much more rapidly than mine did, and I am positive that this tool is an integral part of his rapid discovery. I hope to have many more days with him.

Cant beat it. Running tests with this I have never had a hiccup and feel confidendt stabbing through compact snow.
