Pros: best stuff, cheap.
Cons: waiting for the UPS guy
Summary: Campmor has got to be the best all around place from which to order outdoor toys. Their newsprint catalog is crammed full of the best deals on quality, big name gear I have ever seen. Some are closeout or discontinued items, but so what. Like someone ... read more

Pros: Holds on hardpack and floats on powder
Cons: Only for the top-notch skier
Summary: I love theses skis. Not only do they seem to magically float through the fluffy stuff, they hold an unexpected edge on the hard stuff for a ski of their width. K2 designed them as an expert ski, however, so pair them with stiff boots and make sure you ... read more

Cons: Big, heavy, poorly made, lousy flame control, gas guzzler.
Summary: I bought the CampingGaz Bleuet 470 HPZ stove as an alternative to my tried and tested Coleman Peak I Apex II multi-fuel stove. The Coleman is great, but to be honest, on short hikes, it's a bit of hassle to have to assemble the thing, pump it up and get ... read more

Pros: Everything!
Cons: maybe a bit expensive for beginners!
Summary: Hi, Well K2 are probably the greatest makers around in the market for us boarders. I have a K2 Juju board and it's really reliable and very comfortable. It has a great design but that's not the point of a board. It moves well when riding and K2 boards ... read more

Pros: Comfort, Quality Workmanship.
Cons: Expensive (but worth every penny)
Summary: "$500 for a sleeping bag? You must be crazy," I told myself. Why would anyone in their right mind pay out so much money for a sleeping bag? Well, there are two pretty good reasons to buy the Feathered Friends Ptamigan: (A) If you want a comfortable ... read more
