Nov 29, 2010
Sherpa's Varja jacket is warm, weatherproof, attractive and the perfect piece for times when a big, puffy jacket is a little too much.

JakPak jacket and bivy shelter
Jun 7, 2010
The JakPak -- a jacket that transforms into a bivy -- represents real out-of-the-box thinking, but our testers wonder if most people will really find it useful.

Marmot Reyna jacket
May 11, 2009
As winter tried to hang onto its last bits of wind and snow in some parts of the country, the SNEWS® editors took Marmot's Reyna women's jacket out into some of the elements. Part of the company's M1 series, the soft shell jacket is made of Polartec Windbloc fabric made for such winter-chasing-spring conditions. The jacket straddles the line of winter and spring functionality -- good as a layering piece when the Fahrenheit drops or on its own for warmer conditions like spring bluebird ski days.

Scapegoat Standard jacket
Jan 5, 2009
A relative newcomer to the outdoor market, Scapegoat turned our heads with its women's collection that made its debut in 2008. This winter we asked two testers to try out Scapegoat's fashionable Standard jacket, and both women gave it high marks. They reported that the jacket not only kept them warm while walking and running everyday errands, but it also was attractive enough to wear in an office setting or for a night out on the town.

The North Face Hydrogen Jacket
Aug 4, 2008
This wisp of a jacket at first appeared to be little more than a brightly colored garbage bag. But upon further inspection and testing, SNEWS® discovered that The North Face Hydrogen is an ideal lightweight windbreaker for running and high-intensity sports.

Rab Drillium waterproof shell
Jan 2, 2008
There are a lot of waterproof/breathable storm shells on the market from a lot of companies. So many that we sometimes give the teeniest of yawns when we see another. When we got our first look at the Rab Drillium jacket from a U.K. company that was just introducing some of its technical apparel line to the U.S. market in late 2007, we thought, oh yikes, another shell. Then we checked it out and changed our minds.

Fitnex E55SG Elliptical
Sep 14, 2011
So many ellipticals can be large and pricy, and the though the smaller ones may have a lower price tag, what they give up to get there makes for a more wobbly ride that’s not as much fun. The Fitnex E55SG elliptical manages to be rather petite but still can hold its own when a user pushes it hard.
