Wanted a nylon under layer that I could wash in the hotel. Near impossible to get nylon stuff for those who don't like polyester. Unfortunately just too tight. If I went a size up, would be just to long.

Like the material and the styling. This is very comfortable due to the fit and material selection. Hopefully it will also stand repeated washing. For the time it feels worth the cost.

Very impressed with these tights! Took them out in pelting rain and 5degree temp and stayed toasty warm and very nearly dry. Wicking was great.

Only thing is that they do weigh more than normal tights so felt a little heavy at first, but soon adjusted.

These pants are comfortable and do a good job of blocking the wind and keeping my legs warm in cold weather. I would not wear them in temps above the 50's as they will be too warm. The only reason I did not give a 5 stars as that they have a small hole in the thigh area that I cannot give a reason for. (I am very careful with my equipment, including these pants.) I am sure it is aberrant case as my wife has had a pair for 2 years now without any problem and loves them but just the same, very disappointing.

item recieved as described & delivered on time. Worn only few times so I can only describe these as very roomy & comfortable and my rear end is xxl and these fit very nice with padding liner very comfortable expecially on cold night & early morning rides. Look forward to longer rides with these and warmer temps . So far these are very comfortable .Pants has ankle zippers. And zippered pocket near your rear end.

enjoy!

Honest reviews on Sugoi Men's Firewall 220 Tight

I bought these after having worn some cheap running tights over my cycling shorts when the temperatures dropped below 55 degrees. I live in northern California and there are times when the temperature gets into the 40's and my big box store tights weren't getting the job done. These Sugoi tights worked great on a couple of rides when the temperature was in the 40's and low 50's. I did wear them on a ride when the temperature got up over 55 and they were a bit too warm. I'm 5'9" and weigh about 165 and the medium fit well. They are snug but not uncomfortably so. A nice pair of cycling tights that won't break the bank.

Purchased these because I was very impressed with the Firewall 220 jacket. Have worn them in temperatures as low as 26 F and as high as 46 F and stayed warm without sweating. They are sensitive to abrasion and so are probably not appropriate for off-road riding where dirt might get on the areas that rub the saddle, but for road riding I have found them to be fantastic.

This jacket is great for wet weather. Very water and wind proof though you must realize that it has ZERO insulation and is merely a shell that you'll need to put other layers underneath. I use it for bike riding. Kind of wish I had purchased the one without the hood since I don't really usually ride in the rain...

I got size large for my frame of 6' and 180lbs and it fits great. I love the "Phantom" color. Seems like a cool jacket that fits very well. With all the research I did for this jacket, I understand that it will get one thru fall, winter and spring MTB riding. In winter you'll have to layer up. I may update this review after I use it for a few rides.

Discount Minus33 Merino Wool Men's Isolation Midweight 1/4 Zip

Minus33 Merino Wool Men's Isolation Midweight 1/4 Zip, Black, Large
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

The week prior to NYE, I received this midweight zip in grey. At first I was struck by how light it was, but little did I know this product can insulate whether idle or during athletic activities. Do yourself a favor for the cold season and pick one up. Do not, however, substitute for a lesser / cheaply made item that sports the 100% Merino Wool tag. The reason being? Other products simply don't compare. Fake merino wool products will pill, shrink, and cause all sorts of regret. Not this. It washes well (do note, wool has natural anti-bacterial properties so you don't even need to wash it often!), it performs spectacularly, and comes from a great company. Lets talk about Minus33 & how they truly care for their customers. On the Friday before NYE weekend, I sent out an email to the company regarding a peculiar manufacturer defect. It was so unique that on Saturday (don't forget non-business hours & NYE weekend) I received a reply from a man by the name of Todd Allain, whom I believe to be "up there" in the company hierarchy. He profusely apologized and was sincerely concerned for me. It got to the point that I asked Mr. Allain that we should correspond until after NYE because I felt guilty for bringing up such issues during festivities (I honestly was not expecting a reply until after). Sometime afterwards, I cooperated with them in sending the item back to be investigated within internal sewing mills. They of course sent me another one pronto and for a steep discount. Since then I've told many family & friends about Minus33!

I have 3 of these + last years Patagonia 3 in this weight. I see no difference in performance in any of these. Quality is Excellant in all. Can feel no difference in itch. The Minus33 is a bit better fit, but maybe that's just a personal thing. If price were the same I would pick the Minus 33 over Patagonia or Smartwool, however thats not a consideration as their product is considerably less expensive.

Overall, Very pleased. The company is easy to work with and one of the most responsive I've dealt with.

I also have their t-shirt in the light weight and it is excellant. Hopefully a light zip long sleeve in colors will be coming in the future.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I am over 50, and work outside alot inthe pacific NW. Temps 40-50 cold wet wind and rain. My previous base layers are over 10 years old, it is very hard to find clothes that fit active women who are not yoga models.

I am wearing a mans meduim over another merino baselayer, then a flecce windstop vest. I am comfortable and dry all day. a good buy, the blue is very dull, I wish I had bought the green.

I will return the womans xl, it also fit perfectly, better in the arm lenght, but the weight of the wool was lighter, and I wanted this as a second layer. Second layers are a bit hard to find.

Honest reviews on Minus33 Merino Wool Men's Isolation Midweight 1/4 Zip

Everyone should get to wear Minus 33 clothing! Can we make it an entitlement? Wears beautifully, washes wonderfully, gives snuggly comfort. Our son loves his, I love mine, relatives who received shirts for christmas loved them. Hubby is a big guy who wears a size 3 x shirt and needs length as he is 6'4" so we couldn't find one in this brand to fit him. We feel guilty that he is left out of the comfort. I especially love my wool baseball cap for hiking!!!

Quality. Hard to believe but yes, we found quality in this brand. Follow laundering directions and you should enjoy for years unless the moths enjoy it more.LOL! Keep months out with Rosemary in the closet versus poisonous moth balls!

I wasn't sure about medium versus large, but I went for large because I definitely didn't want skin tight and I've tried other Icebreaker mediums that were pretty snug. I plan to wear this on a trip in Tanzania, so I wanted the odor-resistant, sweat-wicking capacity of wool, but loose-fitting so it will work well in the intense heat. It's just a hair on the wide side but it will definitely work. Looking forward to wearing it!

Gore Men's Path As Vest
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I love this vest, i ordered the Lemon vest. It blocks every bit of wind that is coming at your chest, and has good breath-ability at the rear to keep you from over sweating. Blocks wind 100% and just enough to wear in warmer light drizzles. A 2-way zipper would be a nice addition, i do find myself wishing it was only zipped in the middle sometimes. The pockets are very skinny and long, so it makes it very difficult to actually use them without stopping. The pass through holes that are for accessing your jersey pockets are difficult to use at first, but after 4 or 5 rides i have started to get the hang of using them. I still find it easier sometimes to lift the back to access pockets instead. The fit is almost perfect, I am 6'2" and very slim, would be nice if the arm holes were 1/4" larger, otherwise great.

This is my second Gore vest. I love the first and this one (a different model) is great too.

Since I use it for cycling, I really like the slots in the back which allow me access to my jersey pockets.

The vest has pockets too.

The improvement I would suggest is a two-way zipper as that really helps manage air flow.

This is still a very good vest.

I case you could not tell from the title, I LOVE this base layer! The material is not scratchy against my skin, the neck is nice perfect for those cold rides, and the sleeves are plenty long to keep my wrists nice and warm.

I am 5'7", ~130 lbs, small breasted and the small fits perfectly... it is not form fitting meaning it's not skin tight. It fits just right.

I wore it and my Gore long sleeve jersey, on a 35degree morning and I was quite comfortable.

The quality, fit and comfort exceed the very expensive Rapha base layer. I would highly recommend this product!

Color was not what I was expecting (Rock Salt) as I thought it was white however it was more of a dirty white (kind of an odd color really). This was not a problem as it still looks really great with my outer jacket. I got a large so I could wear it over another Icebreaker base layer. Even though it is big it is still flattering. It is very thin though should not be a problem. I am a size 10 au, 5ft 6.5in, 58kg and slim build. I would recommend this top.

The Zoot Tri Tank Top fit as expected, close to the skin like a bathing suit so it doesn't produce any drag while swimming. Tried it out a couple times in the gym for fit and comfort while swimming, biking, and running, then wore it for my first triathlon, an Olympic distance event. Very comfortable, no issues. Top stayed in place, didn't have to pull down or adjust. Love it! I also love the color and design, looks like rippling water.

I cut the sports bra out and used the 2xu compression bra instead. The top was long enough and fit well. The frantic is just too hot for our 90plus degree days. I did wear it for Ironman CDA. Race day temps were in the high 70's. it was fine for those temps.

Honest reviews on Zoot Sports Women's Performance Tri Tank Top

I bought the pink and the color runs and has discolored the white and pink bra.The bra is not tight enough on me to suppress the nipple factor. Also the three pockets in the back are a different pink color than the rest of the shirt. I got the XL b/c workout shirts often run small. I am usually a 10 in blouses and have some underarm flab. This tri tank seems slightly too big for me, yet it doesn't cover the underarm flab, so I think the large would probably have been worse. I do still like the top despite these problems, though b/c of the pink running I think it's too expensive even if it fits your body better than it fit mine.

Not knowing what size to order, I guessed I would be a medium. I'm 5'4" and 120 pounds. As other reviewers have noted Body Glove is skin tight and very uncomfortable. This shirt is a mesh and true to size. The medium fits me as shown on the model. Just a small amount a room. Since it's mesh I think the fabric will be cooler and dry faster than the traditional rash guards.

A note, the description says 30+ spf. My navy blue shirt says 50+.

If your kid is going to fall down a lot these will soak through pretty fast. They do have cheap sleeping bag insulation so they retain some warmth when wet. But don't expect these to be really high grade... They're pretty flimsy. It's not burly fabric. Good for kids who already ski well or for hour-long trips outside to play. I say that you get what you pay for. These don't cost much and they work fine... But they're not some unbelievable deal. If you're cost-constrained these are pretty good.

It was slightly longer and bigger than what we expected. based on their sizing chart, the length should have fit my 8 year old but it was about two inches to long. no big deal though, we just rolled it up when he used it for snowboarding. kept him warm and it easy for him to put on and off.
