"My favorite item is the Arc'Teryx Strato Jacket in the color Tungsten because it's lightweight but still very warm, and it looks great."

"The Inov8 F-Lite 195's are my favorite shoes for Cross Fit as well as for just wearing around or wearing at work. I like how light they are and how they allow me to really feel the ground when Cross Fitting. I can also tell that I am stronger in my feet from my foot not relying on the artificial support found in most of your other athletic shoes with the bulkier out soles. Having a strong base under you allows you to be stronger overall; it all starts with your foundation. The color options along with the styling are also a plus for these shoes. I encourage everyone looking for a great all around fitness shoe to try a pair of these on and see what you think."

"The Columbia Airgill Lite L/S puts a new twist on the classic Columbia fishing shirt. It is 100% polyester and is very similar to the Tamiami shirt. The difference is where the shirt gets its name. Where most fishing shirts have 1 or 2 vents on the back, the Airgill sports multiple vents on the back and under the arms. It is those vents under the arm that give the appearance of "gills" on the wearer. This is for more than just looks however. The multiple vents allow for superior ventilation and keep the wearer cool, even in high temperatures. This shirt is also made with Columbia Omni-Shade in UPF 40 to protect you from the sun and Omni-Wick to keep you cool and dry when you sweat. I love this shirt because it fits great and looks great. If you own multiple Columbia shirts and are looking for a new look, then you need to check out the Airgill Lite. Here at Eagle Eye we carry it in the White Cap, Lemonwhip, and Bright Peach colors."

Shoe Department Manager Nancy Turner
"My pick is the Toms Wedge.  To me, it is a very comfortable shoe for a heel.  I really lilke the Silver Azar and Copper Azar colors in particular. They seem to change colors depending on what you are wearing. However, we also have Silver Reina, Brown Herringbone Metallic, Silver Karsen, and Snow Leopard as well as the basic colors of Red, Black and Ash in the wedge style. If you are looking for a shoe that can be casual and/or dressy the Toms wedge is the perfect shoe.  They look good with jeans, pants, dresses, and even shorts."

"My pick is the Maui Jim Stingray with HCL lens.  To me, it is a very comfortable frame with a great lens. The HCL Bronze is a perfect lens for everyday variable conditions, from full sun to overcast. Provides excellent contrast. Great if you love a warm, subtle bronze tint. Its a great frame for driving or relaxing on the beach and the lens are saltwater safe. The frame is a mid-sized wrap with wider temples for extra coverage and protection against wind, debris, and the sun’s harmful rays."

"I like the Patagonia Capilene base layer.  It is made with a 100% polyester material called Polartec® Powder dry®. Powder dry® is a two layer fabric. The bottom layer is designed to wick away moisture very quickly, and the top layer is designed to evaporate very quickly. These two layers work together to keep you dry. It was designed with flat seams and strategically placed gussets to allow the snug fit you need with a base layer but also not to impede with natural movement. Patagonia Capilene would be a great option for base layer for all ranges of activity."

"My pick is the Men's Grayson in Silver Jeans. It is the most comfortable pair of jeans I have ever owned. The relaxed fit keeps them comfortable all day, and with them being boot cut I can wear any shoes or boots I want with them. They are not too thick, so they are great for our always shifting climate during the fall and winter months."

"I like The North Face's Midori Moto Jacket.  This is a great lightweight insulated jacket for our sometimes cool, sometimes freezing South Alabama weather.  I really like that it's more fitted than most insulated jackets so that it doesn't look bulky on."
