unwearable for me in medium
Written on Feb 01, 2016
Review for
Outdoor Research Cathode Vest - Mens
Slim fit, just like the nano puff vest and just as unwearable. Side panels seem flimsy. Returning this item.

got the last one

Review for
Patagonia R2 Jacket - Mens
Got what I was looking for. A couple of rough spots on the fleece, but nothing left to exchange it for, so I guess it's mine. I like the 2014 model R2 compared to the latest version for fit and materials. Although the new R2 fleece was extremely soft, the 2014 model fits me better all around.
S/M not as large

Osprey Talon 11 Pack
Nice pack, but only holds about nine liters in the small/medium size.
perfect fit

Review for
Icebreaker Oasis Long Sleeve Crew Top - Mens
At about 5'8" and 170, the size large fits me very well without being superhero tight. The 200 is a nice weight - not too light or too heavy.

2015 style and fabric different than 2014
Written on Jun 17, 2015
Review for
Patagonia Polarized Hoody - Mens
2015 style has conventional sleeves, as opposed to the raglan sleeves on the 2014 and perhaps cut with a bit more room. The fabric is shinier and a little more lightweight, and doesn't have the cottony-feel of the 2014.
I bought the rusted iron color, not only because I liked it, but because it was priced $10 less than the other colors, which are priced $10 above MSRP. Not sure why the blue and gray colors are priced higher than most anywhere else.
I'm about 5'8" and 175. The medium fits me well and can (barely) layer over a t-shirt. My 2014 size large layers well over anything and has a much looser fit with much longer arms.
Overall, this is a nice piece that has a lot of versatility. Wish they made it in lighter colors.

melted threads - damaged goods

Nalgene Silo
Thought I was getting a good one until I unscrewed the top and saw that the threading was melted in one area, with an indentation. Appears that something came down hard on the threading while it was still soft.
That, or someone melted it.
Kinda hard to say for sure.
Other than that, it's perfect.

glad I found the Oasis
Written on May 04, 2015
Review for
Icebreaker Oasis Long Sleeve Crew Top - Mens
The Oasis long sleeve crewe fits me perfectly and feels so good that I don't want to take it off. Wore my collection of Oasis crewes throughout winter and spring, under just about anything. The large size fits well without being superhero tight. Perfect length on the arms and body, and only one obnoxious logo on the upper left arm. The aegean/rocket has contrast red stitching that wasn't noticeable on any of the online photos, which looks great against the Aegean blue color. Kind of wondered what the dual colors were all about until I received the Oasis and was able to see for myself. The Oasis is the long sleeve base layer that I've been looking for.

Review for
Icebreaker Tech T Lite Short Sleeve - Mens
Got the last ss tee in the Lucky green color. It's lightweight, it fits, and it's green - what's not to like about it? Nice sale price from CampSaver.

Review for
Patagonia Tech Web Belt - Mens
Adds some color, a nice bright blue. Burly web belt with a heavy aluminum buckle. Make sure it fits whatever belt loops you plan on putting it through, as it's 1.5" wide.

a dome for your dome

Review for
Outdoor Research Flurry Beanie
More of a fitted cap that hugs your entire head. Flat seams make it good for wearing under a hood or helmet. Not very deep, as it doesn't cover my ears. Like the material.
