Here is what I got.
Arc'teryx RHO Balaclava
Arc'teryx Delta SV Glove
Outdoor Research Expedition Gaiters
I got a size large because I wear a size 11 shoe. These things are huge. I'll have to return them for a size medium. I don't even have small legs. What gives? Anyone else notice that they run big?
SPOT 2
I'm sure you guys know about the recall. I have to send this right back. Replacements are expected sometime in January 2010. Oh well.
Ok… I bought this for myself. The rest were gifts. I love this camera. It replaces the camera I destroyed on the Jacks River Trail a few months back. I fell in the water. Oops.
That's it folks. That's my Christmas. I hope that you and your families have a very Merry Christmas.
Dec 24, 2009 at 6:06 pm #1556775Ba Humbug!!!
But I did get for myself:
Thermarest Neoair pad:
Canon A1100 IS — small and light "point and shooter" for my travels.

They are Expedition gaiters – and are probably sized to fit over padded trousers.Cheers

This is one of those moments where I feel like a complete idiot. LOL I'm gonna go layer up and see how they do.

That wasn't from Diane, was it?
Dec 24, 2009 at 7:35 pm #1556797I have been promised the entire REI Dividend coming next spring. It should be around $600 to 700 at last count. Maybe more.
That is when MY shopping will start….I know what I want ;-)

@Juston

Dec 24, 2009 at 8:45 pm #1556818AnonymousInactiveToo bad the line arrived today and the line spool was damaged in transit.
Dec 24, 2009 at 8:54 pm #1556820+1 on the Hane!
Roger, my spool also arrived broken.
Dec 24, 2009 at 9:07 pm #1556822How are you guys opening these presents so early? Santa won't be at my house for another 10 hours :(
Dec 24, 2009 at 9:14 pm #1556823Jacks R Better Springer Quilt and a new NeoAir pad. The last 3 quilts I have had I made on my own and were synthetics. I'm excited about my first down product. :)
Dec 24, 2009 at 9:27 pm #1556827AnonymousInactiveSteven did you have to pay additional shipping as well. According to the Mailman it wasn’t shipped correctly and fed through automated postal equipment not designed for the width of the package. Hence the need to be manually processed and the additional fee.
Dec 24, 2009 at 9:34 pm #1556832I have been forbidden by my grown children to open any boxes before tomorrow.
However, one of them has a big sticker saying "Tenkara USA" on the outside of it, so I have a pretty good idea what that one is!
Dec 24, 2009 at 10:07 pm #1556837Roger,
Yes. Additional shipping cost was .20
Dec 24, 2009 at 10:17 pm #1556839Santa's already left me my loot under the tree but I'll get my hand slapped if I open them before Christmas morning lol :(
Will post my goodie in the morning :D
