I needed a shoe that was comfortable first of all, then cute, and that would be versatile. This shoe is so cute. I wear this shoe with capris to work or skirts to church, its a great shoe that can go with you anywear. I give it a 4 because it did rub for a while on the top of my foot and made it all red. As I've worn them more, they don't that anymore.

I run a lot in the summer and ride in the winter. I like small earphones that can drown out noise...these are perrr fect! They fit so nice and snug in your ear, super good sound, and have a micro sound adjust. I came back and bought another pair for my husband the day after I had tried out my first pair!

This shoe is so comfy. It’s great for everyday and takes care of the (occasional) skating I do. It comes with an extra set of laces, which is great because the grip tape is always shredding mine apart. These shoes are a great value, and cute too!

Seriously, since I've worn this jacket, I've gotten at least 6 comments about it. I love this jacket. Its got a great style and cut to it (although it is a tiny bit snug on my hips...I have big hips). The flap over the front secures with velcro which I assume will hold strong. I love the material of this jacket, its soft and quiet, not crinckley and loud like other jacket materials are. I wear an 8 or medium on top and got a medium jacket so this jacket does run true to size. Its super warm, has a generous size hood, and wrist gaiters!

I actually really like this helmet although the clip in the back to hold your goggles in place tends to come out sometimes. Other than that, it's great - fits well, light, and sleek.

I love this rack, but it’s hard because I ski, my husband snowboards and our friends do both also. When we go up, it’s hard to manage the skis and boards on it. I guess it depends on how many people you usually go with. I really, really like this rack, but wish I would have gotten a bigger one. The only problems I've had are with locks I got for it, they are kinda sticky, but still do well with water and snow.

I have been used to wearing the Masai, but got a new pair of the Odyssey. They are stiffer than the Masai which helps on rocky trail runs. They're very light and breathe well. I also like how the laces have friction through the loop holes, so that once you tie them in place, they don't get all loose. I usually wear an 8.5 and got an 8.5 in this shoe and feel that it fits true to size.

I got this capri for yoga/stretching. I use it for any low impact activities, but for just about everything else too. These pants have style, so you could wear them out and about if you want to. I love the Merrill/Lycra material, it is so soft and comfy! The fit is true to size. They are a little form fitting with the lycra, but not like scary spandex bike shorts or anything. If you need a capri, this one is awesome!

I don't ever want to carry a 'purse' so I like this tiny tote. Its got a few pockets for organization and is a perfect size for my wallet, checkbook, planner, phone, ipod, and some snacks. The key feature for me was that it zips closed so I don't have to worry about anything falling out. I love the woven stripe!

great tee if you want to dress up a bit (at least for me it is!). super comfy, cute ties, great price.

I probably have 5 or 6 sports bras. You know when you have multiples of the same item, you have favorites? I got this bra about a week ago and can't bring myself to wear my other ones (except when this one is being washed). It doesn't rub the wrong way anywhere (I also have PAT0309 and its cut too high in the arms). This bra is very comfortable, has an awesome mesh construction so it breathes and wicks really well. I usually wear a medium in sports bras/shirts and got the medium.

I've had mainly 'sport' sunglasses and needed some style in my eyewear collection. These are great because they cover my eyes completely on the sides. They’re probably best for small-medium faces. Very cool glasses! I'm used to Smith toasters, so these seemed heavy at first. Also, they don't stay up on my head as well as I would like them to, but I'm taking fashion over function.

I now have a favorite wool top to go with my favorite wool bottoms (Ibex loose tights). When I say 'favorite', let me clarify what that means: it has to be an item that I don't have to wash very often, looks good, and will last a long time. I love wool but its expensive. I always know it will be a good investment though. This definitely is. I usually wear a medium and got a medium. I was a little surprised that it was more fitted than expected, but a large would have been to big.

If you want your friends to know where you are on the hill-get the anti-freeze color. Its super chill. Large fits baggy for someone 5' 10" about 170lbs. The liner is surprisingly warm and the jacket has all the necessary features. I'm not gonna lie...the buckles are super cool on the front.

I got these shorts, opened them up and thought 'no way can I fit in those'. They just looked way to small. I'm not a small girl. I have big hips and generous thighs(I'd like to think they're all muscle). To my surprise they fit perfect. I have run in these, but prefer them as compression piece underneath shorts.

These may look overly strappy...but they're not. Easy and precise adjustment makes these fit really well in relation to the other chacos. I also have a pair of Z/1s and I wear these ones more. I feel much more stable. I wear an 8 or 8 1/2 and get my Chacos in an 8 wide.

If you trail run, road run, and/or bike, you should get this jersey in the carrot color. At first, I wasn't so sure about it, but it is way better than the crossing-guard orange and is still pretty noticable. I love the 1/4 zip. I am 5 6, 140 and got a medium-fits perfect. It also drops a bit lower on the back, thus it would be great for biking too!

As long as you have your Smith Prodigy goggles, you might as well get these to add on. To most its probably not a big deal, but I like having the style option to bling out my goggles a little more with the carbon and neon green ones.

Compared to an older Dakine Heli pack, which is the most recent pack I've been using-this rules. Very user friendly with all the stashes you need. I now consider hydration compatibility a necessity in a pack. I also love the pockets on the waist belt and the soft goggle pocket. The size is also just right as it doesn't allow me to pack too much crap, just the essentials.

I have seen women run in these types of skirt/shorts before and wasn't a huge fan. Then I got in a running rut-which for me means that a new piece of gear to run in is what I need. I got this skirt and LOVE it. It has a small mesh pocket on the right side-perfect for my ipod nano. The waist isn't as tight as I'd like to to be, but still comfortable (I have about an 8 waist, but 10 in the hips-so I got a large). It also makes me feel more girly when I'm dripping sweat and farmer blowing along the trail (gross, but true).

Luckily I haven't had to use this, except for practice. Its super easy to use, and a good length. I tried using a shovel with the probe stored in the handle, and decided that its much easier to just have your probe separate. Add this to your avy gear collection, you'll be glad you did.

I got this in black and love it. It is nice because it stretches, but won't stretch out (like the waffle beanie). It snug and soft and really warm!

I got this pant and was happy to see that it isn't really maternity specific...well, the name is, but it could certainly be worn no matter what your waist size is. I love the thick folding waist band. I wear a size 8 in my waist normally but have bigger hips so the Large fit best. Now that I'm 6 months pregnant I'm not sure my waist size, but the Large still fits. This material is really nice, a little on the thick side so not great for activities where you know you'll be really warm, but perfect for walking and even to work!

Sometimes when you put on a new piece of clothing you're surprised or caught off guard when you put it on for the first time because of fit or feel. That's how I was with this short. I thought I had good running shorts, but apparently not because these felt SO awesome when I put them on (although they are so light I felt naked for the first ten minutes, that was weird). I've got big hips...er, really strong legs so I usually wear a large (8-10ish) and the large fits really well. I also like the look of them, I didn't get the puff-factor like another review said. I like how they fit on the waist, just above my hips. These are perfect for hot days hiking or running...even wearing to the gym.

Favorite thing? This jacket is extremely light and compact. I tend to be the person that would rather freeze than bring extra clothing along. This jacket is very convenient. As for the review above, agreed that it would be nice to have pockets...but I'd rather be able to stuff this jacket in my biking jersey pocket than the other way around. I usually wear a medium, and got a medium. Sleeve length and torso length are perfect. Its great for hiking too, especially for cool summer nights up the canyon in Utah. Its still pretty new, but I expect it to hold up well and last a long time...Sugoi hasn't let me down yet.

I love pretty much everything I buy from Backcountry, so a lot of my reviews are 5 stars, and I can't make an exception for these pants. They are cozy, cushy, and so comfortable! They're not just any fleece, they're made from a fabric called Cashmoore. I love the slim pockets and stretchy waist band. I usually wear an 8 or 10 pant but have big hips, so I got a large in these and they fit great. Just the right length too (I'm about 5'6"). They are super warm, good for cold nights at a cabin in the mountains. They're a little thick, so I wouldn't consider using them for layering under anything. Hurry and get them while they're on sale.

I love to swim. Thus, I buy a suit at least once a year. I don't know why, but its so hard to find 'just the right one'. This top (and the Bella bottom) happen to be the right one for me. I have to have a racer back style (a necessity when lap swimming or doing a triathlon). It is also lined on the front, which usually makes a suit last longer. I had to get a size up because the material doesn't stretch like most suits do.

Everyone RAVES about these shoes and I have never had Salomon running shoes, so I decided to try them out. Yes, they do run about 1/2 size large. At first I did NOT like them...the prominent arch support and higher cut (than my road shoes) felt foreign and was hard to get used to. I now love them, especially the quick lace, and am VERY excited for the snow to melt so I can use them on real trails.

I got these pants for all around. I was sooo happy when I tried them on and they actually fit. I'm about an 8 in the waist and 10 in the hips, so I usually get a 10 since most companies seem to think women don't have wide hips anymore. I got an 8 and they really fit perfectly, not snug, they're just right. They're a great pant for freezing cold days in Utah and I love the 2 ply at the bottom of the pant so they don't shred.

Personally I like the look of these shoes, others disagree. I got the turquoise. Its a bit darker than what it looks like on the site-but still awesome. I agree that they feel better when worn with socks. I like that you can have the strap on or off. I wear an 8 or 8.5 and got an 8 in these, a perfect fit. The only problem with them is that now I want a pair in almost every color.

If you need a pant for running, hiking, layer when you ski, pajamas, or hanging out-you should get this pant. I have other pants, but this one seems to be on my body no matter what I'm doing! They have a very basic and comfortable stretch waistband and one front zip pocket. And...I haven't washed them yet (don't think I'm gross) and have worn them at least 5 times, and they look/smell like they did out of the box.

My husband works at a bank and spends a lot of time not only in dress clothes, but standing a lot. I got these for him based off a recommendation from an employee at Backcountry.com, and he loves these! They are by far his favorite to wear to work as they're lightweight and very comfortable. The no-lace feature is actually nice and he said they fit true to size.

if you need a snowboard boot, grab these quick! They are so light, and have great cushioning. Great for resort riding and a dream on your feet if you're hiking in the backcountry.

I got this beanie for the pom-pom, love those. Although the beanie has the waffle pattern, so there are spaces in it, they're not that big and it’s surprisingly warm. The hat stretches as much as you need and it’s REALLY soft (at least the Cream one is).

I picked the cream color to go with my brown plaid Ivy Parka. Cream isn't really my color, but it looks so good with the jacket! I wear an 8 or 10 pant and got the medium. I have a small waist and bigger hips, so they're a little snug, but I think the large would have been too big.

Regular socks are fine, the Injini Performance sock is high tech. I like this split toe as it gives me the feature of being able to wear socks with flip flops, not have my big toe rub against my other toes, and have a great wicking sock. I also heart the purple color. They seemed a little thick when I first tried them on but it didn't change the fit of my shoes at all.

I would much rather spend $ on this than a regular hooded sweatshirt. I got this in the black (although its more dark charcoal). It has a very comfortable roomy fit, but not frumpy at all. I recently washed it in cold water, hung dry and it fits and feels the same as before. I also love the snaps down the front, it makes it easy to get on/off but gives it a more feminine cute look.

I got this in the black (although its not totally black, more like dark charcoal with a faint stripe pattern-very cute). I usually wear a medium, but am pregnant so I got a large (which won't fit me too much longer). This feels like a true-to-size brand, and isn't tight fitting. It is SO comfortable! Very soft and breathes well. I love the square cut design...like a tank top, but not. No signs of chaffing . I have worn this hiking a few times and just washed it in cold water, hung it to try-still fits and feels the same.

This top is so nice! The built in bra makes the top section a little thick if you're working out hard (but hopefully not too hard since you're probably pregnant). I'm 6 months pregnant and wear this to the gym and everyday around town. I wanted to wear it earlier, but it's made to fit when you're belly is getting obviously bigger. It is VERY comfortable and I have gotten a lot of compliments on the style. Its really hard to find cute maternity activewear, but of course Prana gets it right on their first try.

If you've been looking for a workout top, quit searching. This is the one you want. It is THE MOST comfortable work out top with a built in bra I have ever worn. I would definitely buy this again. I am 5 months pregnant and can still wear this top, which means that it is long enough that you don't have to worry about it riding up or being too short. I'm a B cup and got a medium, fits perfect. I washed this in cold water, hang dry and its still as soft as the first time I wore it.

This bottom, along with the Bella top, are perfect. I can't stand a suit that you have to adjust often (aka gives you a wedgie). These bottoms have a perfect fit. The only down fall is that they aren't lined throughout (only in the front). If they were lined on the butt also, it would probably make them last longer (why is it that suits always wear thin first right where your crack is?...just being honest).

This top is really cute and most importantly very comfortable. I'm not sure I would recommend it to anyone. If you have a small waist, you'll have no problem, but otherwise it may make you look a little bigger than you really are. I usually wear a medium top but got a large in this and it fits great.

I have tried boa's before and didn't like them...but gave these a chance. Personally I wouldn't consider this a trail shoe (unless its mellow-just dirt no rocks). The soles are pretty soft-so I love these for road running too. Lacing-I love not tying my shoes. The first time I ran in these, they were great. Second time-blister. Third, fourth, fifth, etc they have been great.

I love t-shirts, just plain one color t-shirts. This is a great option for my low-maintenance wardrobe. I love the Blanc color, fits true to size.

The jagged fingernail, the twine, the sliver. I had these common problems, always thinking 'if only I had a pocket knife'. There is no reason not to get one. I like the blue.
