solid vasque as expected

Written on Feb 14, 2016

Comfortable insulated boots. Fit comparable to other basque boots like the breeze hike boot except with insulation and stiffer sole for snow. Walking round town and in park in temps at freezing they worked well. Haven’t taken them yet for any snow hikes or trail so far a good experience similar to basque products.

Wool is good!

Written on Feb 27, 2015

Used for snowboarding in Utah in temps around 30F. I liked this better than a scarf or balaclava. The merino wool was still able to provided some warmth when the area near mouth got wet from breath and falling snow. For temps nearer 20 F the heavier weight 250 gaiter maybe desirable.

Worked well for snowboarding

Written on Feb 27, 2015

Purchased these for snowboarding in Utah. I’m 5’7” with 29” waist and got the Small size with 30” inseam. These worked great and fit like a dream. I like the slimmer cut. (Never been a big fan of the baggy snowboarder look.) First time using the Dry.Q material; it seemed to handle well the 6” of powder that dropped this past Saturday at Snowbird resort.

Casual and Active

Written on Feb 27, 2015

Good shirt to pack on trips. Can be both a casual dress shirt or used for active events. I have all three colors. Fit is loose but in no way baggy. I would like to see the threads treated with silver process to prevent bacteria growth. I have to wear these with a cotton or wool undershirt. (My sweat reacts a lot with synthetic fibers.)

Great Mid-Layer & Great Traveler

Written on Feb 27, 2015

This down jacket is awesome. I packs very small and keeps core warm. Stored in my laptop bag during ski trip to Utah. The jacket works great as a mid layer for snowboarding. I was plenty warm and dry with a merino 2 base layer, ghost down and a 9 year old north face summit series shell. Temp ranged from 20 deg F to 37 dg F. Jacket also works as a good go to jacket without a shell. Fit is a athletic which works well for mid layer use. I’m 5’7” and 148 lbs. Initially, it was a little snug around my lats. (But, I have bigger lats than most my height.) I would recommend this jacket to anyone looking for a light mid layer or a packable jacket for traveling and backpacking.
