I'm going to South America later this year so I'm trying to find an inexpensive light weight waterproof jacket or poncho. They have a number of jackets that are waterproof & windproof but I find spending anywhere from $160 - $300 for a single use jacket excessive. I'm thinking maybe a poncho that can roll up into a tiny pouch & be attached to a carabiner might be a good idea & far less expensive. This would also save luggage space?

My first trail race. And gosh was it hard!!…read more Even though North Face lists the race in Madison, WI, the actual location is much closer to Milwaukee than Madison. Good to know if you want to book a hotel in the area. Be prepared to drive a bit, 'cause Eagle is tinee-tiny and accommodation is rare in the immediate surroundings of the park. Anyhow. The Endurance Challenge is specialized in ultra distances, 50K and 50-milers. Yup, some people do that. I didn't. I signed up with a couple of my friends for a mere half-marathon which was supposed to be challenging enough since it was a trail race. When you are used to running on pavement in the city, it's an interesting change of pace. With a degree of difficulty and elevation change of 2 out of 5, we all thought we could tackle it. We did, but not without hurting quite a bit. Change of terrain - from pavement to rock, sand and grass - and hill climbs of 300 feet (with a total change of elevation through the race of 1,200 feet) definitely kicked my ass. Running in the woods, surrounded by pine trees and nature, is a huge draw. I enjoyed it tremendously, and caught myself a few times just inhaling fresh air, trying to make out the different smells that were delightfully assailing my nose. The course was clearly indicated, and even in my most lonely moments, I never thought that I would get lost and forgotten at the bottom of a ravine. Kuddos for that. The festival was also quite nice, and was offering ample amounts of food - both pre- and post-race - as well as water, coffee, iced baths, massages and a few sponsor tents. The atmosphere was nice and friendly, packet pickup was easy, parking was easy and overall I am really glad to have participated in such an event. 3 stars though (well, 3.5 rounded down) because of two major things: - the first aid/water station (out of 2 but I get it, it's more difficult to set out stations on a trail than on the road) handed out water and coke. COKE. I don't care what "Born to Run" says, Coke is not for everyone. It is an excellent sugar kick maybe but it's full of gas. I had incredible stomach problems for most of the second half of the race, and was in terrible discomfort afterwards. Awful experience. - I understand that a half-marathon is not much of an effort compared to a 50-miler but still. It deserves some recognition. It may sound silly but we runners love our medals. Not getting one was a huge disappointment, and something I really don't understand. Please change your ways for next year races, it would make SUCH a difference. In any case, trail running is the sh$t, and will humble you. Give it a try. Miscellanea: - registration fee for the half between $65 and $100 (depending on how early you register), and capped at 750. - parking at the Ottawa Lake Welcome Center is $5 but participants receive a free pass on race day. - no medals but a customized tee-shirt and arm warmers. Still...I want my medal! - no porter potties on the course so... plan accordingly?

After leaving the items at the store for 30 minutes(they weren't busy) to be priced they determined a laundry bag full of items was worth nothing! I certainly did not expect a lot but nothing? The things they had in the store was more worn than the things I had. Not sure how they actually price things or determine they are worth nothing but it's sad. The staff aren't friendly at all! Seem robotic. I would not recommend. You can get better things from Goodwill or other non- profits.

Great selection of dog items, toys, lots of outdoor gear for dogs right now including vests. Oh course lots of good snacks! They also have Keens for $50 which is a great price and don't knock them till you try them! I love my Keens for paddle boarding, whenever I go to Sandy settings for hiking/walking type purposes since I can easily rinse away the sand.

The selection was okay, but it just depends what you're looking for. Keep in mind they are part of T.J. Maxx, Marshall's, etc. so you may find something you love but there aren't a lot of color or size options. If you find something you like, get it right away because it may not be there the next day. They have a nice selection of clothes, that's the majority of the store. You will be able to find plenty of activewear like yoga pieces. The shoe selection was pretty good too, men's less options. There's a dog section with treats, beds, bowls, things like that. Another corner of the store has smaller sections for camping, fishing, hiking, general exercise stuff like weights. I didn't see in stock kayaks like the commercial shows. There's a small section with more natural types of body care items and snacks. The selection online is better and can be shipped to the store for free which is nice. I'd stop by again if I was in the area.

Date of visit: November 17, 2023…read more I visited looking for running shoes, after spending several minutes in the section I was asked if I needed help and I declined, but maybe I should have said, "yes," the shoes were kind of all over the place, not arranged by size and often not near the corresponding display shoes. Making matters worse is that the shoes are double-stacked, meaning I had to pull out the first set of boxes to see if the boxes hiding behind them were 1) the shoes I wanted, and 2) the right size. This took quite a bit more time than I had anticipated spending on this activity! Once I finally found a pair that was in my size and I liked, I went up front to pay and while there were several employees hanging around the door, only one of them was at a register, so I had to wait for her to finish with the customer in front of me. Then after my transaction was complete, she told the crew that she was taking her break and someone would need to be available in her absence.

I am incredibly disappointed and frustrated with the service here. They called me on Sunday at 5:58…read morePM to tell me my bike was ready--exactly two minutes before they closed. Because of the timing, I couldn't even pick it up until Tuesday. The pricing feels highly suspect. For a bike that costs $350 brand new, I was charged over $200 for a new rear tire, chain, and miscellaneous items. To make it worse, I paid an extra $30 for a "lifetime membership" because they promised it would give me reduced rates. Instead, my bill somehow jumped from a quoted $160 to $202. The math makes absolutely no sense. But the worst part is the complete lack of basic safety quality control. When I finally got the bike home, I realized the front brakes were completely unattached and just hanging there. This is a massive safety hazard. They kept my bike for days, charged me hundreds of dollars, and ultimately handed me back a bike that wasn't even safe to ride. Now I have to waste my own time and gas to go back and get them to finish the job. Take your bike somewhere else where they actually care about mechanical safety and honest pricing.
