Buy NCAA Oklahoma Sooners Football Icon Short Sleeve Basic Tee Men's
If you are needing an OU t-shirt, this is a good one. It is well made and fits comfortably. Washes well. The service was fast. Overall it's a good buy.Great t-shirt, and it's exactly that-just a plain old t-shirt which is what I wanted. Only complaints would be that it isn't high quality, both the shirt itself and screen printing I don't expect to last very long at all. This is what I was expecting though so I'm happy.

Cheap MLB San Francisco Giants Tim Lincecum Ivory Home Replica Baseball
I love the Jersey for who it represents "SF Giants" The only complaint I would have is that it has velcro tabs at the front closure and you can't wear it open with a shirt underneath without seeing the velcro.
Other than that I like it alot. Even wore it to the All Star Game in Phoenix, Az. My daughter loves Tim Lincecum so as I searched for the perfect gift I found this item. As I thought about it, not because I did not want to buy it, but because I am out of work. So, as I found myself looking at it over and over I decided to buy it for my daughter's birthday. Well, when it arrived I was amazed at the magnificent quality and that the seller was totally true to their word. You made my daughter the happiest girl ever and now if she would only take it off. I sell on another site and I'm a top rated power seller so I am very careful as I have been burned many times as so many do not take pride in what they sell, pricing and fast shipping. WELL, this seller exceeds in each area. Totally 5 STARS all the way. So, having said that I just noticed that this seller has another item I must buy that will go great with the shirt!! Thank you from one seller to another. I have never left a review on Amazon but for this seller I needed to let everyone know they can buy with total confidence. I just posted a couple of pictures of my daughter wearing this jersey.

These bike pants are a great fit and are very comfortable. They work well while biking but are stylish enough to go out to lunch in afterwards. With the cushion insert removed they would double well as a regular pair of capris.

Reviews of Pearl Izumi Women's Ultrastar Jersey
The color of this jersey is great really more of a lime green than it looks in the picture. However, the jersey runs about a size too large and I found it too be far too short. I do have a long torso and am tall at 5'8", and there's no way this jersey would have covered my skin while riding. It almost showed my stomach. Sending it back and looking for another brand of jersey better fit for taller women.

Really like the look and texture of this jersey. The 2013, half-zip version of this jersey is much improved over the full-zip from 2012. Fabric is a little thicker & fit is nicer. I'm 5'5" and find the length to be slightly longer than most of my jerseys which I like. As a non racer, I prefer more coverage. Sleeves are more a long cap style and are not banded which causes some gaps when wearing arm warmers. Nice roomy back pockets. Would have been nice if they'd put tape or elastic to prevent the hem from riding up, but I can live with it as I like the overall look and feel of the jersey. Bought both the black & orchid, very stylish and clean look.Best Deals for Pearl Izumi Women's Ultrastar Jersey
Great jersey. Semi form fittedstill gives you a girl figure, but not skin tight. The material is a little thicker, super soft and great next to the skin, and breathes well. True to size.Honest reviews on Pearl Izumi Women's Ultrastar Jersey
I liked this jersey so much I bought another in a different color. This is not necessarily a jersey I would wear for a super long ride as it is maybe not as breathable, but for a weekend ride with my bike group it is great. It is softer than most jerseys and I thought it fit great! I know some reviews said it was short, but I'm only 5 feet tall so I didn't have any issues. I love the look of the jersey and the pockets in the back are a pretty decent size.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Pearl Izumi Women's Ultrastar Jersey

Review of prAna Halle Pant Tall - Women's
I love these pants! They actually fit properly all over and are long enough. I usually wear a 35 in inseam and these are more than long enough, I have to roll them up just a bit when wearing sandals. I typically wear aiko or suki style Silver jeans and these pants fit very similar to those style of jeans. These pants fit just like the Monarch Convertible Pants, if you are Canadian you can go try on the regular length Monarch Convertible pants at Mountain Equipment Co-op to see how they fit in the waist and hips. Originally I was only going to order the Monarch Convertible pants, but I am glad I didn't these are my favorite pair. Because they don't have zip of legs they can look very causal/stylish when you are traveling. My two favorite features of these pants are 1) The material is stretchy, so you are never restricted in your movements and 2) the pants have a draw string on the inside of the waist band, you can definitely get away with out wearing a belt.Great fit. Looks and fits like a regular pant, not a pant just for camping. More stylish than most. I'm 5'9" and these were a little long in 4T. Glad to hem them!

Review of TYR Sport Women's Category 5 Hurricane Wetsuit (Large)
Purchased this TYR wetsuit for my daughter who does triathlons and open water swims. She loves it! Her biggest concern at first was that any long sleeved wetsuit would restrict her range of motion. With this TYR wetsuit, she is able to get a good pull each time. The challenge for any wetsuit is making sure that you get the right size. My daughter generally wears an adult size small, but found that she needed to size up past the small/medium to the ladies adult medium.
Some care needs to be taken when putting on the suit, but she did find that getting out of the suit during transitions was pretty fast. A little body glide at the leg and arm openings does help.
The suit has a soft interior lining, a good deal of stretch, and is comfortable. Definitely would recommend this suit for any youth, junior, or adult triathlete.

I got this watch in white, the shipping took a long time, but I'm not complaining. The watch is smaller than most watches I've worn, which is nice. It is lightweight and it looks really good. I have small wrists and it fits them very well.
I still am having some trouble setting the "LONG" ... I guess it stands for longitude. Overall, looks very nice, light weight, glossy, and solid.
Update (7/12/11):
I still have the watched, everything is working fine. I love this GLX 5600, and I certainly would buy it again. The money is worth it and you get what you pay for, a nice looking, solid watch. It has been getting a bit dirty though, but a little bit of nail polish remover will fix it and make it white again.
Great value. I realized that the price jumped from $58 to $72. Go figure. They were selling it dirt cheap. If you want a simple rugged watch with a pop, this is it. You won't regret it.

I wanted to be a little risky and get the white G-Shock. I have to admit it took a few days to get used to after wearing stainless steel dress watches. But man, I'm hooked. It's a simple and effective watch with a pop. Not too big not too small. I just needed a watch to wear that tells me the date and time. This does it. Isn't too shabby that it tells you high/low tide and phases of the moon either. Now I know when the looney patients are coming in (full moon).Great value.

I've bought many g shocks before, but this is by far the best. I have been looking all over the internet, for just a simple g shock that i would enjoy. So i found this g shock for 58$. I read the reviews, and i saw satisfaction. When the watch came in, i saw that it was very glossy, and light weight, and its durable. Another reason why i bought this watch is because of the cool tide graphs and moon phases. This is important to me because i am a surfer. I use it everytime i surf. The watch is very handy to have. The tide graphs make me decide if i wanna go surfing or not depending on the tide. It also has a cool looking design on the sides.Honest reviews on Casio Men's GLX-5600-1DR G-Shock Black Resin Digital Dial Watch

Buy Pearl iZUMi Men's Select Barrier Wxb Jacket
Unlike the lighter packable bike jackets, this one has a second inner layer, a kind of rubbery material, which holds heat in. I find climbing hills over 50 degrees I need to take it off as it gets too hot and sweaty. Best in cold weather, or on downhill or easy riding on fairly cool days. For a proper snug fit on a 6'1" person, Large would be right. The sleeves are long enough. I bought an XL because I like a looser fit. It is but sleeves need rolled up. The back folds up if you want to use it for cold weather jogging. My only wish is that it has some ventilation zippers for the uphill climbs.
I still hadn't the chance for catching a heavy storm while using it, but used under moderate rain several times and my shirt under it haven't got a single rain drop at all. And while it offers a moderate degree against wind, it won't cook you under higher temperatures, since it's breathable.
Of course, you'll sweat more while using it under warmer temperatures than by not using a jacket, and it won't protect you from cold if all you're wearing under it is a t-shirt (you'll fell the cold wind against your skin on parts not covered by extra clothing), but as long you're using a long sleeved shirt, you won't be feeling extra cold from wind and if you need extra cold protection, just use adequate clothing (whatever you'd be using if not under rain or strong winds).
The colour is also very nice to have in cycling gear. It's kinda like marker pen colour and will keep you visible as long as there is some light (it has reflexive bands and the rest of the surface is very attention drawing).
And to it can go into washing machine to boot. I've washed mine this way a few times and it show no signs of degradation.
I am so satisfied with it that I bought pants as well, from the same line and with same degree of satisfation.
Very well made, hi-viz coat with some bike specific touches. Kind of stretchy/rubbery. Blocks the wind well, with enough room for a light sweatshirt underneath on cold days. Sadly, it won't work for a ride above 70. I really sweat then. Buy it big though...
To begin, the jacket keeps you dry, regardless of the amount of rain falling. My last ride was 33 miles over a couple of hours which saw more than 2 inches of rain during that time frame. My shoes, socks and bike shorts were soaked but my jersey was dry, except for the sweat generated by a good ride. The jacket has two draws at the waist to cinch it as tight as you'd like; two zippered waterproof pockets in front and one zippered waterproof pocket in the back. Stuff I had in each was bone dry. The front zipper also zips up higher than most regular jerseys would so you can get a good seal around your neck. I didn't zip mine all the way up (I have an 18 inch neck and the XL jacket would have been too tight to close all the way) but it worked just fine and closed more than enough to keep me comfortable and dry.
Second, there's a detachable hood with two length options that you can use to adjust if you want a tight or loose fit (or if you've got a neck like a giraffe. The hood comes off easily, if you are so inclined, and I've ridden in the rain with and without it. I've got a big old Charlie Brown-like head but the hood is big enough to comfortably cover my ears if I want(and thus keep the rain out) and still keep my head warm as well. In addition, there' s a bit of a bill on the front of the hood similar to what you find on bicycling hats, and that did a good job of keeping the rain from rolling down my forehead and into my eyes. A nice feature I haven't seen on some other jackets.
Third, the jacket has adequate venting so you're not going to melt in it. That's not to say it will breathe like a good jersey(it is waterproof after all). I like to ride during the fall and winter and it gets cold and windy here in Kansas. I can easily see adding this on top of a base layer that will keep me warm as the temperatures drop and the winds get too chilly for my cycling windbreaker.
Finally, the jacket is cut like a cycling jersey with a nice long (but not too long) tail in back. The cool thing here is that there are snaps (like the ones on the hood) that allow you to snap the jacket up in the back so it looks (pretty much) like a normal rain coat when you get off the bike or just need something to keep you dry when you're walking around. Very nice addition Pearl iZumi!
Yes, this isn't the cheapest option out there, and if you're just looking for something to wear if you are out riding and it starts to mist or rain, there are other good options. However, if you live somewhere where it rains a lot and that cramps your riding time, or if you're like me and just really enjoy riding in the rain (and cleaning your bike afterward), you won't regret this purchase. Good job Pearl iZumi!
The only downside it the attachable hood. It's simply impractical. It's not so much a hood but a cap of sorts. I tried to wear it while running in the rain, but it just kept falling over my eyes.
I'm 180 and 6.2, if that helps you make a decision about it.

It's a very comfortable fit, almost form fitting (M) but with extra space in the sleeves. Has a multitude of pockets (essential for runners): two hand pockets, two mesh pockets inside and one big pocket at the bottom for valuables while running (wallet, keys etc.). Also, very lightweight and stretchable, at no point when you run, does the material hinder your movements. In overall, it's also a very fashion-conscious jacket. You won't feel akward while, say, wearing it getting groceries.The only downside it the attachable hood. It's simply impractical. It's not so much a hood but a cap of sorts.

Review of Prana Men's Marco Polo Long Sleeve Shirt
I gave this shirt a very positive review but Amazon rejected it because I, apparently, did not follow their guide lines. I've been a long time member of Amazon and seldom have had any issues or negative reviews on their products. They are a very reputable company that I have depended on for many, many years. I take it for granted that my purchases will arrive when they say they will, and they do. BUT, I refuse to be dictated to as to what I do or do not write in my reviews, et al, the review I gave on this fine product. I wrote the required words (of at least 20 ,they seem to prefer 75 or more, but when my review still needed 2 more words, I wrote "2 more words"). Doesn't a review consist of what the CUSTOMER feels with out limitations? If you or I can state our opinon in less than 20 words, shouldn't that be okay? Amazon has always been my main shopping site for all the holidays and gifts that go with it. I take offense on being treated like a school boy who recveied a bad grade on my grammer test. Just sayin'

Best Ibex Women's Izzi Pant Deals
I read all the glowing reviews on this pant and I was really disappointed. I am 5'-3" and 130 lbs. and the pant was way too long and too tight around the thighs and too loose everywhere else. I can't understand the reviewers who were short who said the pant fit perfectly on them. Most reviews said the pant ran large, but I bought the small instead of the xs because I wanted more room around the thighs. The construction and material of the pant were great, however, but as I didn't want to take a chance on another return of product, I went to the Ibex store in Boston and tried on everything they had in black. Good thing I did that, since none of the pants looked good on me, and it saved me some money. This pant would be good for those who are tall and slim, but if you have any extra weight around the legs and are under 5'-5", forget it.
Low itch:
I am very sensitive to itchy stuff. I like to wear wool for its performance properties and because I prefer natural fibers, but I typically wear a silk layer beneath all wool for comfort. I prefer alpaca or cashmere to merino, but really like silk beneath all of these. While I am AWARE that I am wearing these pants--new from the package and not yet washed--over bare legs (with standard American underwear), they are not uncomfortable. I think these are slightly smoother than my Icebreaker and GoMerino knit wool pants, but I could just be tolerant because I was so excited to get these.
If you usually wear merino with no noticeable itch, these will be completely itch-free for you. If, like me, you still "feel the wool" and it itches a little, you might feel these, but they are VERY GOOD on the low-itch spectrum for merino wool. I find most of my Icebreakers and Ibex pieces are even softer after washing, so I am very hopeful that these might be wearable (by me) without long underwear, but I don't expect that from any animal fiber except silk.
The outside of this wool is noticeably more textured than the inside. When I showed these to my husband and he touched them, he said, "Oh, they are so woolly!" (He has sensory issues, so this was not a good thing.) Be aware of this if you are extremely sensitive to wool texture.
Classic style:
I think Ibex corners the modern merino activewear market on the more stylish, less sporty styles. These pants are almost my dream come true for a pair of knit pants to add to my lightweight travel wardrobe. (I aspire to be a one-bag, minimalist carry-on traveler, and I think good pants are the key...) The only thing missing is a ZIPPERED pocket, but I am willing to forego that in a knit pant. I had to return a pair of very high end travel pants because, as knits, the internal hidden pocket just wouldn't stay hidden against my hip. I choose nice-looking over hidden pocket in the knit pant category only, but I think Ibex could've made at least one of the two tiny front pockets on these pants zip without adding any appreciable bulk. I would love to hide a passport in a zip pocket, but even safely zipping in a spare credit card or hotel key card would be a travel win.
On the other hand, these pants are definitely the most stylish I've yet obtained from "the modern merino activewear companies." My Icebreaker pants are a little too "cute"; my Go Merino pants are too staid. These look fairly youthful, but don't embarrass a mid-30's mom like myself by being too young. They hit me at the waist, which I prefer, but I have a short torso so your mileage may vary. I am 5' 3.5" tall, and these are touching the floor with my slippers on, so might be perfect with shoes, or perhaps

The outside of this wool is noticeably more textured than the inside. When I showed these to my husband and he touched them, he said, "Oh, they are so woolly!" (He has sensory issues, so this was not a good thing.) Be aware of this if you are extremely sensitive to wool texture.
Classic style:
I think Ibex corners the modern merino activewear market on the more stylish, less sporty styles. These pants are almost my dream come true for a pair of knit pants to add to my lightweight travel wardrobe. (I aspire to be a one-bag, minimalist carry-on traveler, and I think good pants are the key...) The only thing missing is a ZIPPERED pocket, but I am willing to forego that in a knit pant. I had to return a pair of very high end travel pants because, as knits, the internal hidden pocket just wouldn't stay hidden against my hip. I choose nice-looking over hidden pocket in the knit pant category only, but I think Ibex could've made at least one of the two tiny front pockets on these pants zip without adding any appreciable bulk. I would love to hide a passport in a zip pocket, but even safely zipping in a spare credit card or hotel key card would be a travel win.
On the other hand, these pants are definitely the most stylish I've yet obtained from "the modern merino activewear companies." My Icebreaker pants are a little too "cute"; my Go Merino pants are too staid. These look fairly youthful, but don't embarrass a mid-30's mom like myself by being too young. They hit me at the waist, which I prefer, but I have a short torso so your mileage may vary. I am 5' 3.5" tall, and these are touching the floor with my slippers on, so might be perfect with shoes, or perhaps

Best prAna Men's Asylum Flannel Shirt Deals
I bought the red and blue (espresso) version of this shirt and it is wonderful. PrAna is also one of the more responsible clothing distributors (like Patagonia, for example). You can feel secure knowing you are supporting one of the more ethical clothing companies, if that is important to you. The shirt is soft and very warm. The colors are striking without being garish. This is a regular fitting garment, so do not expect a slim fit, which I wish it was available in. Fortunately this isn't built like a tent to accommodate a large midsection either. The sizing is pretty much right on the money. Recommended.

I'm a big guy and pranas xl was tight on me. The xxl fits perfectly. Nice waffle style lining on the inside makes this better than your typical flannel. We'll designed and comfortable. Couldn't ask for more.Best Deals for prAna Men's Asylum Flannel Shirt
I wasn't paying attention when I bought this shirt, I thought I was just buying an organic cotton flannel shirt as the price seemed in about that pricepoint. Well it's more than that as it's lined which means it's a LOT warmer than a regular shirt. The weather here has been colder than usual and it's been great to have something that looks like a shirt act like a jacket. I got the Rust and the labels say it's made in India and that it's made from 100% organic cotton. The snaps are a little slower than buttons but they work well...definitely faster to take off. I recommend this warm jac-shirt made by Prana.
