5 comments about DryGuy Boot Dryer.
- I have a more sweaty foot and after a couple days of skiing the boots are always somewhat damp. This machine completely dries your boots and kills or deactivates all the odor-generating germs. It also warms them up quickly in the morning for extra comfort.
The only complaint I have is that the poles appear to be not too sturdy - I feel they might break. You also have to develop your routine how to stick the shoes on the device, if you do it wrong it falls over.
- This product works as advertised. My only complaint is that it doesn't really feel sturdy enough to hold 4 heavy boots at one time. The arms flex rather easily, and I would be afraid that they would crack and break off if you tried to dry 4 ski boots at once. I'll do two boots and two gloves, or 4 gloves, but not 4 boots. If you really think that you'll need to dry 4 boots at once, I would recommend that you get two of the boot dryers that you insert down into the boots.
- This boot dryer works effectively and is compact and quiet. The family uses it frequently. Timer feature is nice.
- Easy to use. Like the dual glove/boot drying ability. Not terribly attractive but function is what is important. Price was almost $50.00 higher through a popular catalogue and at a local outfitter.
- I have been using for about a month. Great for drying all the kids shoes, boots, gloves and hats.

5 comments about Racor Ski and Pole Rack, Fits Four Pairs #SR-4R.
- I was pleasantly surprised at this rack. It was very solid and easy to hang on the wall. No real frills, but looks good and will do the job.
- I have not installed these yet, but have checked them out with several different types of skis and poles. Contrary to the description, the rack does not fit all ski types. It appears to work fine for
- downhill skis
- downhill poles
- touring X-C skis with 75 mm bindings
It does not appear to work well for
- X-C touring or track skis with NNN bindings
- skate skis
- skis with Voile telemark release bindings
- X-C touring poles
- X-C track/skating poles
- I installed this in my garage and it does the basic job of getting the skis and poles organized,so it is a product that I would recommend. However, I think it could use some improvement so that it could be a 4- or 5-star product. Specifically:
The skis want to slide out of the rack so I have to use a bungee cord to keep them from sliding out. It looks like the rack was designed before the advent of today's binding technologies with the toe piece that is raised so high off the surface of the ski, so there isn't enough contact/friction to keep the skis retained.
Minor complaint is that the bolts provided with the rack have heads that are made of relatively soft material and strip easily. I had to use a hack saw to cut one, re-position the rack and then use my own bolts to hold the rack in place.
- Very compact and efficient. Easy install. Does have some trouble with platform bindings. Would still recommend.
- I ordered two sets of these racks to accommodate all my families 8+ pairs of skis and poles. Mounted, they are sturdy and work well. However, my advice to any purchaser of these racks is to throw away the mounting screws that come with it, and purchase a pair of quarter inch by 3 inch lag bolts with washers, per rack. Locate the rack on the wall on studs 16 inches apart, pre-drill the holes, and run the lag bolts and washers up snug to the outside of the mounting bracket. The screws are intended to recess inside the bracket which I found to be cumbersome, especially with the low-quality screws they supply.

5 comments about DryGuy Circulator Footwear Dryer Warmer.
- Theses boot dryers work great. They don't dry boots in two hours, but if you leave your boots on over night, they'll be dry and warm for you the next morning. They aren't very big but they get the job done. They are roughly smaller than the size of chalkboard erasers (if you can remember those from school). They are easy to transport and the best part is they make absolutely no noise! Plug them in right next to your bed and you will not be bothered! I am a Forestry student so I am used to wet boots, I definitely recommend these boot dyers.
- I was a bit hesitant to buy this item. I thought it was a bit expensive but after buying them I am quite pleased with their performance. Low and slow is always the way to go when drying footwear. Too high a temperature can degrade leather and other materials. This little item does the trick perfectly. Very pleased.
- I bought these for my son for his snowboard boots and they work great. Simple easy and they do exactly what we wanted...warm the boots or dry them if left in the boots over night.
- Good product, works well, could be improved by having the cord between the two boots longer for my ski bag.
- We ski about 70+ days a year; my son is a budding ski racer and I formerly patrolled in mid-vermont. These are quiet (no sound at all), compact (packs easily), and really works! We also have the DryGuy travel boot dryer with a fan - and that one makes a racket that we can't stand when in a hotel room. This 'Circulator/Warmer' works just as well, without the noise.

2 comments about Freedom Ski Snowboard Polarized Foam Padded Sunglasses Glasses.
- Well, I used this product for riding my mountain bike, it fits really good, however, there is a little problem, when you get hot the glass get fuggy, so it is hard to see, many times I have to just take them off. So, as long as the weather is cold I think you are going to be fine. That's why I just gave it four stars.
- These glasses work fine for being really active. Plus they are polarized to cut a large amount of glare out of view. They are padded and even float. I had to try that and they really do! Good comfortable strap and they just feel good.
You wont be sorry buying them. Concerning fogging, well anything fogs if you sweat or breathe on it. Get some anti fog chemical just like you have to do for any helmet or goggles.

4 comments about Racor Pro Ski and Pole Rack, Fits One Pair #PS-1R.
- the racor racks are a good value. they are not fancy, but we used them in 'mud room' for ski's and other snow gear. the singles seem to work better than doubles, as ski weight is concentrated on rack center. it does take some fiddling with ski straps to get the ski's to hang at the correct height and correct distance from ski tips.
- Does what it's supposed to. Sturdy metal frame, easy to mount. Easy to arrange multiple units on studs to use that hidden space in your garage or closet.
- this is the perfect, simple and efficient way to store a pair of skis and poles. I used 3 of them in my locker at the lodge. Easy to install.
- This is by far the best way to hang up a pair of skis and poles. Sturdy construction. Works well will all size and shape of ski. Better than similar wooden racks. Prices is perfect. Easy installation. Perfect for use in lockers and mud rooms.

3 comments about Racor Ski Storage Rack for Two Pairs of Skis, Boots, and Poles #SR-2R.
- Great space utilizer...everything in one spot. Very easy to install. Ordered another one once i saw how simple it was to install and hold the gear.
- I like this product. Now I can hang my skis in the game room instead of putting them in the corner of the room. BTW, don't ever put your skis in the garage, especially if you live in Texas, they will be cracked/damaged.
- Easy to install! This rack was exactly what I needed to get my skis and boots out of the way. It fits two pairs of boots, two pairs of skis and two pairs of poles. Simple and effective.

3 comments about Racor Pro Ski and Pole Rack, Fits Three Pair #PS-3R.
- This is a great value for the price and is very strong. Cleaned up my ski clutter in an instant!
- I bought this product to store 3 pair of skis and that's exactly what it does. It's plenty sturdy for all three pairs.
- I actually bought this for holding garden supplies. Shovel, Rake, some tree trimmers, etc. All of Racor's products work really well for me. I have about 6 of them. They mount easily, they hold well, and they are made of very strong steal under the nicely coated rubber that also grips well. I have even put an Axe and Sledge Hammer on this, and the holders don't even flex, let alone bind. I highly recommend this product.

1 comments about Hiking Colorado's Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness.
- This book has been one of the best hiking books I've purchased so far. The hikes it has for the Aspen and Maroon Bells area are phenomenal! It also includes some great hikes in the Collegiate peaks area. The only drawback is that about one-third of the hikes in the book require high clearance or 4 wheel drive vehicles to get to.
