Montane Power Up Hoodie - Men's
Order one size up! Runs a little small. Perfect to keep you warm without getting soaked. Nice athletic fit. Zips up nicely to protect neck and face without choking you. Great color. Like the breast pocket.
Most comfortable hiking shoe

Inov-8 Roclite 345 GTX Hiking Shoes - Men's
I have owned the 320 gtx and the 325 gtx and beat them up pretty good so ordered these 345 gtx shoes. They require no break in period. So comfortable right out of the box. They have a much roomier toe box than previous versions but was perfect to put in my thick orthotics. The footbed that comes with these boots are not much better than a piece of cardboard so highly recommended putting in your own. Can't speak to the long term durability yet but these are so comfortable I just don't care. I had tried countless hiking boots with no success before I discovered Inov-8. Can't wait to hit the trails!
My go to hat

Does not make my head itch like most beanies. Also very compatible with a hood. Keeps me warm in the moderate cold but does not turn into a swamp when I'm moving fast. It's the perfect piece for any layering system. Bought a few of them just on case they stop making them.
The Only Pants
Written on Dec 10, 2019
If you are looking for a versatile pant - these are it. Amazing fit. They are close fitting around the thigh area but the stretch is dialed in so perfectly that there is zero restriction of movement. I can also wear my favorite base layer tights under them and they work just right. The interior fabric is very nice against the skin. No annoying seems or rough abrasive feel.
Great Jacket
Written on Feb 02, 2019
Really enjoying the fit of this jacket. Very trim but not restrictive. Beads up water amazingly well. Haven't yet tried in a long downpour. It's very comfortable. The hood has a nice fit and is fully adjustable. Face fabric is soft and not loud/crinkly. Zipper is a little tricky but have not had problems once I got the hang of it.

Arc'teryx Rho LT Zip Neck - Men's
I tried out my Rho Lt on a mountain trail run today and I am a little I didn't buy this before all the other base/midlayer and quarter zips I've purchased. This is so much better than all of them. Great comfortable fit. The fabric is so soft. Nice stretch. Not restrictive around the shoulders, arm pits and neck yet not too loose either. Super versatile piece. I did size up as I am using predominately as a mid layer.
Tight arm holes

Montane Hi-Q Luxe Jacket - Mens
This jacket looks great, hood is excellent, the fit in the torso is just right but has, in my opinion, one fatal flaw: The arm holes are so tight. The point where the sleeve is sewn on cuts into my pectoral muscle and armpit. Might just be me but something to be aware of. I am very slender so cant imagine what it would be like for those with a bigger build. It’s also a pretty heavy piece for its thickness.
Featherlite Beast
Written on Jan 02, 2019
I needed a breathable softshell for biking and trail running. Tried a few from Rab and Mountain equipment but were all kind of heavy restricting and cumbersome. Received the aerofoil and was surprised at how thin/lightweight it was. Then I took it out on a bike ride in the PNW 40 degrees and windy. It is phenomenal! The hood fits comfortably under my helmet, the athletic fit means the fabric doesn't flap about, it is not restrictive at all- just enough stretch. It cut out 100 percent of the wind yet I did not overheat or get too sweaty even though it was a hard ride. Great piece in every way. Thanks campsaver for your return policy that helped me end up with this.

Sleek and quiet

Rab Spark Jacket - Men's
What a great fit. No poofy midsection like many rain coats. There is enough room for a base layer and light insulation layer underneath with out being to tight. Face fabric is awesome. Soft, supple and makes zero noise. Hood fits great with two way adjustment even without a helmet. Bottom hem in the back drops very low which is nice when your bent over the water doesn't get inside.
Comfy and soft

Marmot Novus 2.0 Hoody - Men's
Was surprised I was able to get this at such a great price. Fit is trim-so nice not having a ponch in the mid section. Very lightweight yet very warm. Soft lining. Very comfortable around the neck line. The hood lays very nicely when not in use. Does not flap about in high winds. Face fabric is not crinkly or stiff.
