Great Expectations

Written on Jun 05, 2019

I appreciate fabric that feels like I expected it to feel. This shirt has some stiffness to it, so it retains fold lines after opening (might want to wash or iron it before wearing it). The picture I'm including is of me wearing the shirt to work after it was unpacked and hanging in my closet for about one week; you can see that the wrinkles aren't flattering, so I really recommend ironing the shirt or otherwise dealing with the wrinkles. My wife complimented that I looked good in it, which happens selectively enough that I take note. This shirt feels good and looks good. I also like that it's not too tight, particularly in the arm pits to avoid excessive sweating in the current summer heat. The color is as vibrant as the online pictures. I'm a man with an average build (not too slender or bulky), but I am tall at 6'2"; that said, this shirt fits well without getting a slender or tall fit, but I like a slightly baggy fit so I don't feel constricted or at risk of tearing my clothes when I move around. If you like slender, form fitting shirts, you might consider the slim fit. The sleeves are a good length and not too wide. I just wish the shirt was more resistant to wrinkles. Overall, the shirt meets my expectations.

Great Flashlight or Floodlight

Written on Aug 07, 2018

The crank is easy to use to charge the battery. Floodlight was useful on a boat at night. Flashlight was able to illuminate fish if they were at the water's surface. The light is large, so it's slightly clumsy to hold, but overall a great light.

Good looking and durable

I loved the Stretch Zion pants, so I thought I'd give the Brion pant a try. I also have some friends who prefer the Brion to the StretchZion. I do like the Brion, but I do find that the fit is more snug than I expected. Keeping my phone and wallet in my front pockets means I have some pretty bulky hips due to the fit of the pockets. Still great pants though!

It really works!

Went to a murky lake and drank some clear water from this LifeStraw! My dad and I are both believers. I enjoy the ability to drink from streams and lakes instead of having to pack my own heavy water supply.

Functional and sleek

Written on Jul 25, 2018

I love the look and fabric of these shirts. I recently went for a hike for half of a Saturday, and I was impressed with the odor control! I didn't stink at all (and I was definitely sweaty and grimy). When I put on the shirt, I feel like I look good as well; it's very flattering in its fit. I'd highly recommend this for anyone who needs something to wear for physical activity.

I think I'm addicted

I like these pants a little too much. I've had to stop myself from buying more. I love the colors, the stretch, the feel, everything. I am sometimes a little self conscious about the ventilation holes in the groin area. Some of my older pairs do have marks from where my kid has spilled meals on me. I use these shorts for just about everything during the warmer months.

Changed My Life

These are the best pair of shorts I've ever owned. They're sooo comfortable, and their ability to adjust the waist is great if my weight fluctuates in the near future (putting on that dad weight). I like that they are also tough, so I don't worry about ruining them.

Sister Success

Written on Jul 05, 2017

I borrowed the Tensor for a car camping trip with my wife and sister. My sister is ten years old, but she was able to inflate the pad easily to sleep on. She actually loved sleeping on it. It was also very light, so it would have been great for backpacking as well.

Mega Mom Success

Written on Jul 05, 2017

I used my Megamat recently when my mother-in-law came to visit for a week. She was surprised that it didn't feel like an air mattress; it felt like foam. I'm glad that she was so comfortable because her back has been bad as she has been traveling a lot. I also like the way this mattress packs up with the roll-up shoulder bag. The inflation device was easy to use, and the pad plugs were easily labeled. I would recommend it to anyone. I would like to try it when I go camping next. I only really car camp, so it's perfect.

Wonder Pants

Written on Jun 06, 2017

I have spent my life wearing lesser pants; I am now enlightened. These pants stretch when I move, they breathe, and I don't worry about ruining them because they're durable. Pockets are deep enough for my wallet, keys, phone, etc. I usually don't buy nice clothing because it gets ruined, but these are a welcome exception. There are some ventilation holes in the thighs, so be aware of those if they'll make you self-conscious.
