nice boots, but did not fit

Review for
Asolo Elbrus GV Boots - Men's
Beautifully made boots. Felt generally very comfortable when I tried them on in the house...except for one thing: There is a rise in the floor of the boot (below the footbed) that pushed into my foot. Kind of like the arch support extending too far across the foot from the arch location.So, although I wanted to love these boots (cause they fit so nice and snuggly) I knew that my feet would be in pain after hiking a ways. Too expensive to risk the boots not working-out. My experience with modern day mountaineering boots is that it they don't feel good wearing them indoors for a few hours then you are going to be in pain when out in the mountains. I am not dissing these boots, they just did not fit me,. They are well made, and mostly comfortable.

nice bag
Written on Jun 19, 2017
I had a Feathered Friends 20 deg bag. It weighed 3.3 Lbs. That was just too heavy. So, I sold the FF bag on Craigslist and bought this Alder MF. I already had a WM Mitylite bag (for warmer weather) , so I already knew they make great sleeping bags. The Alder MF is great, only weighs 1 Lb 15 oz and keeps me warm in all the types of weather I might expect here in the PNW. It is way more roomy than traditional Mummy shaped bags that taper down at the feet. I have a down hood that I can put-on if it gets too cold for just a sleeping cap. Thumbs up for this bag!
nice and puffy, well made, but armpit openings too tight

Rab Altus Jacket - Men's
I'm 5'11"" 157 Lbs. Very puffy jacket, I bet it would be very warm indeed! But, the armpit openings rode too high up my armpits and made the jacket feel too tight, uncomfortable. This was even with just a cotton t-shirt underneath. So, there's no way it would work with a long underwear top and mid-weight fleece. Gonna return it. I really wanted this to fit as it is puffier than most synthetic jackets and the "cirrus" insulation is supposed to (according to Rab) not lose its loft over time as much as other synthetic insulation do. Ah Well...note to Rab - please make arm pit openings larger around the bottom of the armpit openings. Like maybe add another inch at least.
