They sized my foot and convinced me that my toe should be touching the top of the boot, so I trusted their expertise and went with the purchase after having custom made foot beds placed. Trying boots on in the store is different than on the hill, as we all know. I regret buying these boots after wearing them for the past 2 seasons. My toes, feet, and legs hate them. ive gone back to the store multiple times to tell them the boots are too small, they've tried making adjustments for me, which i appreciate, but it doesn't fix the problem. i dont recommend going here because they might size you too small/aggressively.

I emailed Umiak and paid over the phone for a 2pm rental at the Waterbury Reservoir. It was super easy. Perle and his co-workers were extremely helpful and got us in the water just after 2. We had both kayaked before. The boats are in great shape, everything was clean and in good working order. Understandably, the parking area was quite full, but Perle encouraged us to park along the road, making it less challenging to leave later. We had until around 430pm to return the boats, which was helpful because there was a bit of a bottleneck at the boat launch on a Friday afternoon. They took everything back to the shop, saving is a trip! We had a great time, the price was right ($45 x 2 for 2.5 hrs), and we'll love to come back!

Jake and Emma are fantastic humans, stayed calm and cool through our scary situation…read more I signed up for the 9 mile upper river gorge, rented 2 kayaks. The description mentioned 6 years old and up, So I figured awesome, easy enough for my boyfriend who had never gone kayaking before. There are two rapids that seemed easy enough, but my boyfriend flipped on the first rapid and that kind of set the tone going forward. Getting closer to the second rapid, you could hear the roar of the water, when I could actually see the spot we had to go through, it was cut through large boulders. We where never told to stay to a certain side or that the water level was extremely high. As we got closer to the rapid I could see 3 whirlpools and knew it was going to be trouble for my boyfriend, who was already shaken up at this point. The whirlpool pulled us away from the rapid and towards the boulder, my boat filled with water and dumped me, the multiple whirlpools kept pulling my under trapping me, every time I popped up I could hear my boyfriend screaming for me. We tried to get out and by the whirlpools but there unfortunately was 4 and the current was to strong with the water being to high. I was able to get service and call umiak, I spoke to Emma who stayed cool and calm and Jake showed up like a super hero! We hade to walk up stream and cross the river at a "calmer" spot. Jake grabbed our kayaks and got us to safety once we crossed the river. Jake did mention the river was high and on the verge or requiring a guide, and that we should have gone a certain way around and island to approach the rapid. My boyfriend was shaken up and not willing to go on, understandably. When we got back to our cabin Emma had called to offer us the kayaks at the reservoir. Overall the folks who work at Umiak are fantastic and so caring. Unfortunately we had a really bad time that ended with some trauma, and a sprained finger for my boyfriend, and bruises all over my body. I also understand these are non refundable trips, but I don't feel like I should have to pay the full price for less then a quarter of the experience.

I then noticed after purchase that Turtle Fur American company but the product is made in China, seems lame for such a simple design as a neck warmer. After a few days of wearing the new neck warmer, fluff started to ball up and stick to my beard, sweater, jacket and everywhere else and continues to get worse. I've tried washing to specifics only to find no change in the amount of shedding. I called Turtle Fur and they offered no help. This product is cheap Chinese garbage, may be just these blues one? The one I'm speaking of is made of polyester.
