Buff UV Headband: Best Travel Headband Ever!!!
I was looking back through all my travel photos from the last few years and it was a hard to find a photo where I wasn’t wearing a Buff UV Headband. In those rare cases where I wasn’t donning a headband, it was surely because it was covered up by a climbing, ski, or bike…
Oiselle Roga Running Shorts Review
I hate running shorts! I detest the scratchy materials, the typical frumpy, boxy look, and the butt riding liners characteristic of most running shorts. So saying I was thrilled with the Oiselle Roga’s comfy material, flattering fit, and non-butt riding up liner would be a HUGE understatement! Having ran solely in my beloved Patagonia all…
Altra Olympus Trail Shoes Review
These shoes really crack me up! I affectionately call them my clown shoes and my “launchers” because they make my tiny feet feel huge and their rocker type design literally launches me off the sides of mountains. The women’s Olympus are Altra zero drop awesomeness meets Hoka type floaty cushioning for the ultimate trail ride….
Oiselle Women’s Winona Running Tank Review
After reading all the hoopla surrounding Kara Goucher’s leaving Nike to join Oiselle, I immediately went to Amazon and ordered a few Oiselle items to show my support of the small women’s running apparel company’s willingness to support such a stellar athlete. Oiselle has always been a strong supporter of local elite women athletes, but…
Women’s Marmot ROM Jacket Review
Do you ever slip on a piece of clothing at your favorite gear shop and immediately walk to the checkout without the slightest thought? Well that is how I felt after trying on the Marmot ROM softshell jacket and wound up wearing it home from the store. I was looking for lightweight wind- and water-resistant…
Salomon SpeedCross 3 Women’s Trail Running Shoe Review
Umm I love these shoes. They were super comfy right out of the box, required very little break in time, and provided amazing traction through mud, ice, snow, and rocky terrain. The SpeedCross’s come in several cute color combinations and I seriously want like 10 pair. The Salomon SpeedCross 3’s were my first pair of…
Darn Tough No Show Ultra Light Running Sock Review
If I was stuck on a deserted island with only one pair of socks, they would have to be Darn Toughs! I can’t really remember where I got my first pair of Darn Tough socks, all I know is I was sick and tired of my $15/pair SmartWool socks wearing out after only a few…
Icebreaker Sprite Racerback Bra Review
After gushing about the comfort and overall amazingness of Icebreaker wool underwear, I just had to try out the matching bra. If I had been weirded out by wool underwear, I was twice as skeptical about a wool bra. But just like the Icebreaker undies, I found the Icebreaker wool bra uber comfortable and not…
