3 Stars Wrong, wrong
The description of this item is “MSR Windpro Liquid-Fuel Stove”, but the stove shown in the photo is clearly not a “Liquid-Fuel” burner of any kind. One can clearly see that it’s hooked to an iso-butane canister.
5 Stars Beautiful design, Outstanding performance
I’ve been using a Windpro for about a year and have been testing it side-by-side with several other cannister stoves. I have been completed impressed by its flawless performance even under harsh conditions. It is worth noting however, that like all isobutane cannister stoves it becomes difficult to light in sub-20 degree (F) temps. Great stove for general hiking, kayaking touring and minimalist car camping.
1 Star not a good stove
HI.
We wanted to let you know about a problem with our MSR “windpro” campstove. After about a dozen uses, and no problems, the stove started leaking fuel out of the place where the fuel line attaches to the stove. The flame that shot out the side was sufficient to quickly burn a hole in the wind blocking thingie. We had to cut our trip short. Once back home, we brought it to the outdoor store we bought it from, and they sent it to the manufacturer for us. We got it back a couple of weeks later with a charge of $25 for the repair, and a note stating that we must have damaged/dropped the stove for it to develop that kind of leak. We never dropped the stove, or even handled it roughly. Our last stove lasted us 25 years (and still works; we just had trouble getting the butane); we take good care of our gear. I can send you a photo of the stove and the hole it burned in the windscreen. Mainly, I wanted you guys to know there are problems with these stoves.

5 Stars A windscreen friendly canister stove
I’m not sure what the other reviewer means. The title says “MSR Windpro Canister Stove,” but perhaps I missed some other (erroneous) mention of liquid fuel in the details. At any rate, the other reviewer and the item’s title are correct–this is a canister stove as is made clear by the picture. This stove is great because you can use a traditional wind-screen with it since the canister is away from the flame. MSR has achived this while keeping the stove very light…and quite stable. This is a great stove and I have no real complaints. I have 3 MSR stoves and they make quality products which they stand behind if anything goes wrong (which has only happened once to me)–Great customer service!

5 Stars Reef the best flip flop made. Period. But they used to make even better ones!!!
Several years ago, I moved into hotter inland climates which have prolonged intensely hot summers. My work requires formal business attire. Needless to say when I get home from work, or am off for the weekend, I wear my reefs with absolute pleasure. They are extremely comfortable and will contour to your foot, to provide nice stability, keeping your foot on, or rather in the surface on the flip-flop. The tread and traction is excellent as well. They are comfortable stylish and keep your feet cool during hot weather. Everytime I put them on, I know I will be relaxin, ahhhhh, how nice. Best flip flop on the market. Have tried others, but the simplicity of the Reefs reign supreme. As far as fit goes, if you are a half size such as 9.5, get a 10, they will fit perfectly.
On a side note, 6-7 years ago, Reef made a flip flop I liked even better, it had a twist to the design which I loved. Basically, instead of the nylon fabric which goes in between your toes, they had one with an extremely soft comfortable rubber which went in between your toes. It was slightly more comfortable than the nylon part, they employ in all their flip flops now, except for their all rubber ones. Another benefit of this rubber part was it kept the nylon strap elevated, so when you put your foot in, it went right in, you did not have to squiggle your toes to raise the nylon strap in order to slide your toes in and get the toes seated up against the nylon, or rather in this case the soft rubber. With this rubber part, you just put your foot in, and voila, you’re off and relaxin, totally hassle free. This was not an all rubber piece that went from the toe strap and all the way to back of the flip flop forking and branching off to the rear of the flip flop where they attach to the deck rear deck of the flip flop on both sides in the rear; it was not a totally nylon-fabric free flip flop, in other words it was not all rubber like other flip flops by Reef and other manufacturers. It was a hybrid, with a rubber part that elevated the nylon straps, so you could just glide right in. It combined the best of both worlds with the convenience of the rubber part where you put your toes in, but after that nylon straps were attached to that rubber toe-piece and went back and attached to the rear deck of the flip flop. The nylon straps are more breathable than rubber and keep your feet nice and cool, while the rubber part that goes in between your toes, made them the ideal, best flip flop ever made. I hope someone from Reef comes across this review. Bring back the hybrid Reef, myself and others will buy them again and again. Also these flip flops are extremely durable. I wear the heck out of them; I mean I put serious mileage on them. I usually buy them every two years,
5 Stars Great flipflops
They are very comfortable and very durable. The last pair of these lasted five years in Florida so they were worn almost daily.
5 Stars Comfort & Attractive
The Reef Men’s Smoothy Sandals are not only comfortable with a good fit, but attractive as well. They provide good cushioning for the feet when walking and look good enough to wear as leisure/relaxed footwear. They are also reasonably priced. I’m very pleased with them and would recommend them to those who like flip flops or would like to try a pair.
5 Stars No Question … The Best, Most Comfortable Sandal
No question, this is the best, most comfortable sandal you will ever own. My first Reef Smoothy pair lasted 10 years! I just bought a new pair and absolutely them them.
I prefer the regular Smoothy over the Contour Smoothy. The Contour is still a nice sandal, but the pre-built “natural” contour already in the sandal may or may not be right for your foot. I like them, but there is not as much opportunity to individualize the sandal to YOUR specific foot. The regular Smoothy is a full flat surface, almost like a blank canvas. After only a couple of days of wearing the sandal, it is already shaping to my foot. After about a week, it is perfect, specific to the contours of MY foot.
Both Smoothy sandals are great. But if you have a choice, stick with the original.
3 Stars slippery sandal
This is not a great sandal. The bottom is hard and is very slippery on my tile and wood floors. It is comfortable, but I would not recommend this for anyone not surefooted.
