I've always loved the Adidas for many many years and my brother's birthday was coming up. I figured, why not share the love. When he got the jacket the color looked great and material was good. Especially now that it's starting to get cooler again. The material definitely keeps you warm. Also it looks great. I definitely recommend this to anyone.

adidas Men's adi Firebird Track Top Reviews
If you want to look good, you want to look classic. And that's an old school classic adidas item. Personally, I prefer it to superstar because of the collar, but a classic's a classic and looks great. When this will wear out, I'll get another one. And another one. I love this track top, and again, you can't go wrong going for the classic.

Review of TuffRider Girl's Elegance Long Sleeve Show Shirt
My daughter was in her first horseshow this weekend and this is the shirt she chose. She got it in the sleeveless Wild Orchid color and it was stunning on her, a very vibrant color that made her stand out. The cut was clean and well made albeit on the very small side. I ordered a 12 and it barely fit my tall 8y/o. I didn't have time to exchange it so we just worked with it. So if you order I highly suggest order a size or 2 up (I like to get things a bit big for room to grow) . Other then the sizing issue it is a beautiful product at a great price!

Arc'teryx Theta SV Bib - Men's Review
I received a pair of these bibs a few seasons ago as part of a GORE-TEX product testing program. Since then, I've put them through the ringer, primarily skiing but also using them for occasional rainy day hikes and even a few cold-weather river trips.
Overall, I've been pleased with these pants. I like the bibs for skiing, and the built-in waist band makes it easy to drop the bib part down if I'm skinning or don't need them.
Durability has been good, although I did develop a few small tears in the knees (probably from kneepads and teleing). Bottom cuff reinforcements have kept ski edges from damaging the material at all.
These pants offer great storm protection I've stayed dry in water and wind, even when friends up getting soaked. All the zippers seal well and the bibs offer a bit of extra protection from water dripping down your back. Even the coldest, gustiest winds don't stand a chance.
The weight (or lack thereof) and lack of insulation makes these great for touring, although there are some extra cold days at the resort that I wouldn't mind a thicker/warmer shell. It's not really an issue as long as I plan ahead and layer well.
These are definitely a pair of swishy pants, and people will hear you coming.
Fit is slimmer, like much of Arcteryx's line. Great for skiing, skinning and moving around.
All in all, great pants. Like all of Arcteryx gear, you'll pay more but you'll get more.
Pros:
Arc'teryx construction
Heavy duty reinforcement around high-stress areas
110% waterproof
200% windproof
Cons:
No side pockets AT ALL
No buckles on bib straps
JUST a shell, no insulation (can be argued that this is by design)
Expensive
The lack of side pockets on these pants are the single (and only) frustrating feature of these pants. I think it goes without saying that ANY pair of pants should have side pockets. After taking these pants out for 3 or 4 outings, I can't remember how many times my hands have instinctively reached to the side trying to pull out a trail map and been met with disappointment that, yeah, there are no pockets!!
There are however two very small zippered pockets towards the top of the bib, pictured in the product photos. They're great for holding a tiny wallet (ya NEVER want anything hard or sturdy in a pocket between the ground and your body god-forbid you fall directly onto your chest and the camera or radio or iPod cracks your sternum). However, they're useless for anything else!
Because this product is a bib, these two pockets are placed very high, which means if you want to access anything in these pockets to have unzip your shell, unzip your inner vest/fleece, pull-up your pullover, then get at the pockets. Extremely inconvenient.
Really wish there were buckles on the bib straps as well, very difficult to have to go number-two in these pants and be forced to strip off everything you're wearing over it just to take off the straps and pull down the pants.
Front zipper runs very high up onto the chest, so again, having to go to the bathroom involves an awkward reach up under your pullover to unbutton, then unzip.
With all this said, there's no doubt in my mind that these pants can be wrapped around 4 pounds of dynamite, detonated and come out the other end in returnable condition. Construction on these pants is heavy-duty and top-notch. Arc'teryx took care to really fortify the heels of these pants, lots of scuffing and scraping on this often exposed area of the pants can really take a toll.
Great pair of pants, would definitely recommend to a friend accompanied by a stern warning of "be prepared to work around the lack of pockets and high zippers and you're all set!"
As a disclaimer, I am affiliated with Gore for product testing of Gore-tex products for the purpose of product review and recommendation. I do receive items from Gore for these purposes.
Activities: I have used these bibs for many mountaineering trips, ice climbing trips, and countless days of skiing.
Fit: I love the fit of the bibs. I am 155 lbs., 5'-9" tall and have a 30" waist, and 30" inseam. I bought a size medium, and have found the fit to be great.
Function: There are many aspects of these bibs that I really like. One of those features are the full length side zips, which I often partially zip down from the top when looking for extra ventilation. The built in gaiters are also very effective at helping keep snow out.
Waterproofness/breathability: I've tried various types waterproof material, and have not found a product that does a better job keeping the water out while also being breathable than Gore-Tex. The fact that these bibs are made with Gore's most durable and rugged waterproof breathable fabric (Gore-Tex Pro), makes these bibs very capable to withstand the hard ware-and-tear I expose them to.
Durability: I have had these bibs for over 3 years, and they still perform like they did when they were new. Just remember that like any Gore-Tex waterproof fabric, it does need to be maintained properly (i.e. cleaned and treated with DWR).
Construction: Superb, which is consistent with any other Arc'teryx product I've seen or owned.
These are a great pair of bibs that whether it is a bitter cold day of ice climbing, or a warm spring day of skiing, they are my go-to shell.

When you buy an Apple computer, you know what you're getting. TOP notch build quality, beautiful design and impeccable performance. Same can easily be said for Arc'teryx products, these snowboard bibs included. However, a few minor design decisions and one glaring oversight exposed after a few outings prevent me from making these pants the greatest of all-time.Pros:

200% windproof

Because these pants have a slim cut, they are not combersome and make great ice and mixed climbing apparel. They are always waterproof, windproof, and have been fully abrasion resistant for a few years of heavy use.

Cheap 5.11 #73285 Men's Cotton Tactical Shorts
The fabric fabric has great durability and texture. The "clip" pocket is great for a cell phone. They are cut on the large side; the length is good if you prefer hiking shorts, but somewhat short for current style. If you are borderline on size, get the smaller. If you don't like "above-knee" shorts, buy the slacks and have them hemmed to a more stylish (longer) length. I can carry everything I need comfortably when I wear these shorts: Glasses, cellphone, etc. with more security than those typical "cargo" shorts for neatness and pocket closure. (The items don't "bounce" off your leg when jogging.) Alternate: The Tru-Spec 24-7 brand is very good too, with more pocket versatility.

Burley D'Lite 2013 Bike Trailer Reviews
List Price: $629.00
Sale Price: $576.84
Today's Bonus: 8% Off
This bike trailer has the nicest features of all the trailers I looked at...and I shopped around for a while. I really like the adjust-ability of the trailer and the connection to the bike is sturdy. I would have hoped that the spring loaded suspension would be more responsive but that is most likely due to the fact that I have a 23 lbs kid in the trailer by himself. The suspension is adjustable for various weights but seems stiff even at its lowest setting with just my little guy in it. We'll have to see if my opinion improves when he gets bigger and his sibling get old enough to come along for the rides.
Bottom line: Expensive but worth it!

It's light and well built. Has great storage and plenty of space for our 4 and 2 year old to sit.Best Deals for Burley D'Lite 2013 Bike Trailer
I would give this 4.5 stars but a half star is not available. I am not giving this 5 stars because of the head room.I have a 36 inch tall 22 month old. With a Helmet on, her head is already brushing up against the top of the trailer. This happens more when she leans slightly forward to look around. If most other toddlers sit back quietly then this should not be much of an issue.
Another minor issue is that the shoulder straps keep sliding off and it does not seem that I can reposition it easily to get a better fit. I am going to try to re-thread this to see if it stays on.
Otherwise, this is a very solid trailer. I like the adjustable sunshade, though we hardly use it since we do short rides and she wants to see. There are also other upgrades compared to the prior models, you can check out burley's web page.
We have only used this for about a month of light riding but I consider this purchase worth it for helping us get outdoors as a family. With some creativity you can get a little bit of a discount on this by buying from a store that has sales or coupons. I know quality costs money, but this one is definitely steep.
I would rate Burley customer service 5 stars if you ever have a reason to contact them.
