This shirt is the best, most comfortable, golf style shirt I own. I have a few now, since I just love to wear them. My uses are for work and weekend wear. You could also use for camping, but I don't want to wear them out too quick.

My Review of REI Muir Woods Fleece Vest - Men's
The REI Muir Woods vest looks better than ever—and this midweight, layerable favorite contains 62% recycled fleece.
Solid vest, nice price.
Gift: No
Fit: Feels true to size
Sleeve Length: Feels true to length
Chest Size: Feels true to size
Pros: Warm, Comfortable
Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping
Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer
This vest fits true to size, and is not baggy. My XL does not fit like a North Face XL, it's a tad slimmer. Large pockets with zipper are nice feature. Collar is short si it can be worn up without irritating face.

My Review of The North Face Windwall 2 Jacket - Men's
This wind-blocking fleece jacket from The North Face features a grid-pattern inner face that adds warmth and comfort.
2nd one, great all around jacket.
Gift: Yes
Sizing: Feels true to size
Sleeve Length: Feels true to length
Pros: Comfortable, Attractive Design, Great Color, Versatile
Cons: Not for February in Ohio
Best Uses: Travel, Daily Use
Describe Yourself: Casual Dresser
This is my second windwall, I use it for everyday wear to work and around town. The first lasted several years before it began to wear down on the elbows and let more air in. Not in love with the new location of the third pocket on the left sleeve. It is a bit difficult to unzip easily to get the cel phone out.

My Review of Keen Voyageur Mid Hiking Boots - Men's
Like its cousin, Targhee, the midheight Keen Voyageur hiking boot offers the same 4-wheel-drive traction and stability minus the waterproof barrier.
Good, but not great
Gift: No
Pros: Flexible, Comfortable/No Break-In
Cons: Dirt gets in easy, Difficult Laces
Best Uses: Day Hiking, Wet Conditions, Light Loads
Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer
Sizing: Feels true to size
These boots are comfortable and need very little, if any, break in time. These best uses are for light load, short trip hikes.The traction is great for what I use them for which is trails in National Parks. My only two isues are the lacing system, which never feels tight enough, and loosens quickly; and the top of the booots seems loose all the time allowing dirt and stones in the boot frequently.
