Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Performance Shell Insulated Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 November 13, 2008

This is a great jacket. I am a solid medium and the medium fits me perfectly. I with the sleeves were a little longer, but I guess the sleeves are made to have gloves go outside and not inside the sleeve. There are really long hand gaiters to keep snow from coming up. The powder skirt sits higher up on the waist, but I snowboard so my snowboard pants sit a little lower than technical ski pants. overall the jacket is great and the insulation keeps me nice and warm. The vents on the sides do not have mesh or anything to keep things out.

the color is fantastic I have the blue atoll color. The close up photos show the color true. Magenta zippers and a very pretty bright light blue for the jacket color.

This jacket is awesome! I have it in a medium and it fits me perfectly. Everyone loves the baffling on it. The only downside to the baffling is it is welded and so where the baffling is there is no insulation. I was in jacksonhole and wearing is casually and I had a t-shirt under it and my arms got a tad cold where the baffling is. I just wear a long sleeve under it now and it is a great. Keeps me super warm. The fabric is not stiff, it is very soft and movable. So cute and awesome. you will love it! Check out photos of it on my blog

K2 Cinch Tryst Snowboard Binding - Women's

October 21, 2008

That's not true. You just have to make sure that the bindings you get come with the 3-hole plates, not just 4-hole. Some newer bindings (like these) are also now coming with universal plates which will fit anything. http://www.k2snowboarding.com/technology/footbedMake sure the feel good does not have EST technology. I can not remember what boards had it last year and which did not. it should have 3 hole pattern compatible base plates. If the board is EST than you can only use burton EST's

Burton Sapphire Snowboard Boot - Women's

October 21, 2008

By "other boot" do you mean ski boots? Order snowboard boots .5 or 1 size smaller than your street shoes. If your feet are on the wide side, go with 6.5. If they're on the narrow side, go with 7. This seems backwards, but it's because with ski/snowboard boots, the half sizes tend to be the same length as the whole size, just wider. I wear a 9, but my snowboard boots are 8.5 and ski boots are 7.5. You can also always go to a ski shop, get fitted, find a boot, then come back here and order online to get a better price :-).Milly says: Well considering online pricing for burton and shop pricing are the same, then you can get the same deal where-ever you go. But anyways. I wear a 7 1/2 shoe. I have always gotten the sapphires for 4 years in a 6 1/2 it takes a bit of time, but they pack out. Always a snug fit though. This year I got these in a 7 1/2 and they feel perfect. I will be coaching and on my feet a lot so I chose a larger size so I don't cramp my toes being on my feet in boots all day. If I was not coaching this year I would have gone with a 7 to require less packing out time and just a little less toe crunching fit. This year the liners are already pre wired to for heat. Which was my big concern with smaller boots, lesss circulation. I would say 6 1/2 should be the smallest you go in this boot.

Really Fun board DC BFF

DC BFF Snowboard - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 October 21, 2008

I demoed this board last winter and it was a powder day at snow basin. I was really skeptical about having a twim tip 148 CM on my feet that was not banana technology. But it actually was really fun in the powder and handled really well. Quite poppy and responsive. It was fun on whoops and whomps and did good on groomers as well. Overall I was impressed with this board. I would like to have it in my quiver if I could afford more boards this year.

I wish they would have worked harder on the design. I have the hoody that has that design on it from last season and it was a guys hoody. Come on DC...Give the girls stuff some credit by spending time to make a female graphic. I do like the shoe lace look. I am all about women's boards getting the same treatment as mens!

I loved the forum craft a lot and this is similar but softer than the Forum craft. I agree with the other reviews, you can size down on this. It was very fun, spinned and buttered great. It did feel a little wobbly at high speeds, but hey that happens when you size down and have less dampening. So it is a true park board. You won't regret getting it. The graphics and colors are rad as well.

I love this board for Park riding and some groomer cruising. I rode it on a deep pow day in utah, forgot my other board in salt lake and only had this or my 143cm k2 va va voom. So I chose this. It was not super great in the powder like other claim. Maybe if I have a size up from my 148. Being a twin tip it did not rocker back enough in the powder. But as far as park and pipe riding this is really fun. Had lots of fun days in the pipe with this baby. I wear size 6 1/2 boots and this narrow board was so responsive for my small feet and bindings. You will NOT regret getting this board AT ALL.

Nitro T1 Snowboard - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 October 21, 2008

Ok T1's...let me tell you about T1's I still have my first T1 from 4 seasons ago. It still has camber in it when I lay it flat on the ground. I used it for 2 full seasons and throw it on every now and again. It has now moved to me early season board. What I love about this board is it is the same as the men's Just offered in a few smaller cm lengths and with a female driven graphic. Girls can shred just as hard as the boys. It is a bit stiffer than some noodly jib sticks out there. I am not a huge huge fan of super soft boards. They loose their verstaility for all mountain. This is fun and you will enjoy it anywhere on the mt. Won't get the speed whobbles like the noodle park boards. It does decent in powder, but hey...any park twin tip will only do so well unless it is banana technology or rocker.

The color teal/zebra is not as sky blue as the burton website shows and is even a bit darker than this site shows. It is a darker green/blue - teal color.
The heal strap this yaer has a bubble padding as opposed to squishy padding. We will see how the bubbles hold up this season. The material the air bubbles are held in seems durable. The hea straps and toe straps are easier to adjust length on this year as opposed to last years. I have a year over year comparision on burton escapades over the past 3 years on my blog.

You may want to look at the Venture Parka as opposed to the Venture Jacket. It is significantly longer length and will probably fit you better than the jacket version.I am about 5'8" and thin, but the small jacket is too short in the arms and torso for me. The thing to watch out for on north face items is the sleeves. Even if the torso is longer in a different jacket, does not mean the length in the arms will be longer. Get it in 2 sizes and return what does not work.

Marmot PreCip Jacket - Women's

August 13, 2008

The fit depends on how your body is shaped. I tend to find marmot stuff a little short length for me and north face fits pretty good for me. The precip fits a little shorter in the torso than the venture jacket. Not sure on the breath-ability. Hyvent on the north face is their technology comparably to gore-tex. They both have pit zips to help vent when you need it. The marmot website claims that precip is the lightest and most breathable rainwear fabric in the world.So I think either one you go with will be great. If you run into a problem of things running short in the waist go with the venture for sure. backcountry has a great return policy.

The waist on this does not hit as low as other down jackets. so if you need something to keep your lower hips warm you might want a another coat. but 500 downfill is pretty warm.

Fits true to the original denali jacket sizing. I would get a medium and that is what I wear in all jackets and shirts. If you are on the cusp of small to medium co with small. These tend to run a tad on the larger side. Just be weary if you go small the sleeves are shorter.

The pink, blue and purple colors are really really bright and crazy. So if you are a bold person you will love this jacket.

It has double doors so you don't' have to crawl over each other and each door has it's own vestibule so you can store your stuff on your side. comes with a foot print which is awesome. I would recommend using the foot print. I have a women's long thermarest and it fits great in, with room to spare. I got this tent so if I went somewhere where it was super warm I wouldn't feel like I am in a zoo with a all mesh tent with out a rain fly on. Ventilates well. The rain fly has a plastic window on it, so when the sun comes up a little bit of light pokes through at the top. Overall great tent for the price. I would recommend this to people.

I went to St. Mary's Glacier July 12th and these made all the difference. even though the snow was slushy and hard underneath, I never slipped or fell with these. Everyone else was struggling getting up the slush and me and my friend just went straight up no problem. Never felt unsafe or that I was going to go sliding down. I felt less fatigued because I did not need to kick my toes in really hard to kept from sliding. These were really easy to put on my snowboard boots. They adjusted small enough for my women's 6.5 boots. With room to go smaller. I tested them with my running shoes and they fit women's 8 running shoes and even my 7.5 skate shoes. They were really easy to put on and take off. I would recommend these for snowboarders and people who need a little extra support on snow and ice in normal style shoes.

I love this backpack and have posted about it before. but I recently took it snowboarding because I needed a bigger pack that my snowboard one. I totally jimmy rigged this for my snowboard to fit on it. It was awesome. Provided more support than my snowboard pack does. I took the straps that hold the top compartment down and did a cross through my bottom binding. then took a rope and tied the top of my board to the shoulder straps and it held my board so snug and awesome! I put my crampons in the bottom of the pack so I could easily get them out with out taking my board off. I had my crampons in a case so it did not tear the fabric. I was pretty stoked on this bag. I used it July 12 and 13th in the heat on a glacier and so the breathable material on the back of the pack was awesome and I did not get all sweaty on my back like on other backpacks. So this pack is much more useful than I could ever imagine. I have used it for so many things it is crazy. You will get your use out of this backpack!

But my leather chaco flips I have in a size 8. Wow...the size 8 was too small in these flips. I even compared lengths on my leather flips and these and my size 8 flips were around 1 inch longer. So I WILL be returning the size 8 for a size 9 and I am sure those will be just perfect. Bummer that Chaco can't just to the same length in all their stuff.

So I got him the size 9. they fit him really well. there is extra length at the front of the flip. He must not have as long of toes as the chaco foot model they used for designing around.

This board is super fun. I demoed this board last spring and it was a blast. It is true to what the description says for it. It is soft but not too soft, stiff but not too stiff. I did not feel like I was on a noodle, but It was not too stiff that I felt like I have a thick plank of wood on my feet. It was responsive, poppy and fun. spins around nicely and easily. I was stoked on this board before I tried it and I am blown away again by k2. Really taking women's snowboarding serious. I have tiny feet 6.5, small bindings and with my little feet I still got great response on this board.

These were pretty fun bindings. I wear a 6.5 boot and used the medium. Normally I use a small in k2 bindings, but medium is what worked for me. I demoed these last spring and they are pretty fun. they have a nice rubber base that goes over the screws. I really like this because if you get a loose screw at all or anything then you know it can really only come out so far because you have something over the top of them holding them down. it helps with the dampening and stomping stuff. easier on the ankles and just gives a little extra something. I did not run into problems of snow getting stuck on it. there are no metal spots for the snow to freeze on. Overall good freestyle binding. Not the best for real aggressive riding or a really stuff board. But if you rock park and the rest of the mt. this is a great binding to fit both.

K2 Charm Snowboard Binding - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 July 3, 2008

beefed these up a bit for the 08-09 season. I did not test these out on a board, but at the demo day last spring where we were testing the new stuff these looked better than last years bindings. I demoed last years charm and wasn't unimpressed but wasn't not impressed. I would consider these more freestyle, beginner to intermediate.overall it is what you pay for. As far as other reviews saying the binding doesn't bounce back. I have run into this problem on all of my Burton bindings also. ratchets are easy to replace. and as far as screws not staying in. If you are on a different brand's board they may have a little different threading in the holes. Get some "lock tight" and that will help hold screws in also. over all I would get these bindings for my sisters set-up. price point and in the range of her ability.

this has SPF rated 50+ http://www.lolewomen.com/en/collection//styles/ESL-10-08-RY.htmlit does not specify if it is coated or not. Most items though that do have SPF do need to have it refreshed with SPF wash. I use SPF wash on items of mine that do not have it already. Most SPF wash or treatment does wash out after so many washes, kind of like DWR. But again, I am not positive on how they SPF proofed this piece.

arc'teryx fits pretty true to size. I would recommend looking at one of her coats now and whatever size it is should be a good size for you to get. I wear Medium in shirts and jackets. Small if I really want it fitted and arc'teryx I always go with a medium in them. I have tried on lots of their items and always medium is what fits.

Yes it can be machine washed with out shrinking. Check out the nixwax wool wash: http://www.backcountry.com/store/NIK0035/Nikwax-Wool-Wash.htmlmake sure you wash on cold and fluff dry. I hang my merino wool up to dry and fluff dry it so it won't be stiff at all or I will fluff dry it with no heat if I need it dried faster.

Mountain Hardwear Rappel T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Women's

June 17, 2008

This is a nylon material, which is quick drying. It is a very light weight shirt so I am sure the air flow would be great on this and help dry it out quicker than other nylon shirts. For boating, I would look into merino wool. I use merino wool for kayaking. It wicks, quick drying and when wet keeps you cool or warm depending on what your body needs.

The North Face Windwall 1 Fleece Jacket - Women's

June 17, 2008

it won't if you get a tech wash and do not put it in the dryer with any heat. Anything you take out in the sun a lot will slowly fade, because of the suns rays. If you don't have tech wash or want to get tech wash, use woolite or a very mild detergent. Never use powder detergent on technical materials. The powder is abrasive and scrubs the material and clogs the pores. Also put your soap in and let the washer fill all the way up with water, then put your technical pieces in. This will insure none of the detergent gets directly on the garment and won't cause spotting on the clothing.

to get lint off. You can put it in the dryer on air fluff. You don't want any heat, because heat melts the fleece fibers together and makes it ball up. You can also get a little lint muncher to much off that lint that is stuck to the fleece. if you do the muncher, don't push hard on the fleece so it will much off the lint that is stuck, but not munch the fleece.

The North Face Catalyst Summit Series Down Jacket - Women's

June 17, 2008

The higher the fill power the more insulating air pockets the down has and the better insulating ability. 800 downfill is very typical to be used in sub zero sleeping bags as well as non sub zero sleeping bags. The material on the outside also helps up the warmth of the coat. Since this is just rip-stop nylon with water repellent. If it gets wet then the down insulation will not work as well. I wore my 800 fill down coat in sub freezing levels this winter and it kept me warm. On those windy or wet cold days, I used a shell over it to help block any wind or water from getting in the down. The length on the jacket hits on the upper hips. So if you need something to keep your hips and butt warm, this won't do it.Make sure when you wash this to get a down wash detergent, like "nikwax". Use a front loading washer and fluff it dry in the dryer and make sure it is dry all the way through so the feathers to do not stick together and destroy those pockets for insulation.

Rating for this product: 5 June 2, 2008

These have a phenomenal fit. I am a women's medium face size, a little narrower of a face than just a typical medium. These glasses fit my face perfect and look super awesome on my face shape. I have the black plum and love the plum color on the back side of the glasses. Great shades. They stay on my face really well when I am out skate, hiking or just casually. I have a problem with my long eye lashes hitting the lenses and with these I do not have that problem.

The polarization is awesome for glares and making everything more clear and easy to see. My eyes do not get all strained with these.

I really like this bag. The belt is a good one, easy to adjust and take on and off. The cinch works really well and keeps the chalk inside the bag. So when i get home and throw it in my room chalk does not get anywhere. sturdy and durable, will have it for a long long time to come. I love the pink color!

this does a great job of drying out my hand, drying out my cuticles and making them crack and get sore. It does the job it was meant to do, it seems though to dry my hands out more than my old black diamond chalk. The chalk doesn't stay on my hand as long as other chalk, but I do think it drys that sweat off better than other chalk.

Durable, good fit, move when you need them. They fit pretty true to size but do run a little small. They are nylon so they are durable, the 10% of spandex makes that difference when you need that movement. the nylon provides a tad bit of water repellency which is nice when you need it. Fit good and comfortable with a climbing harness on. Good adjustably all over.

I love the forum craft! it is soft but not too soft. buttery but not too buttery. you can mock on this board and jib awesome on this board. You don't sacrifice stability for jib-bility. Does great in the pipe and spins great. This is an awesome board. I have even managed to use it on a few powder days...but wouldn't recommend it for a pow day typically. The graphics on this board look rad.
If you are going to use this for pipe, size up a little for that extra stability at high speeds. jibbing size down a little.

I got these in a size 8. I typically wear a size 8 in shoes. They were a tad big and once i would get them broken in i am sure they would be too big. so size down a little. They have good heal hold and the toe box is a little wider so your toes can breath. This boot was surprisingly warm too, which is a bonus on the slopes. I would say these are a soft boot. park riding boot for sure. I have to agree with the other review, these would be good for someone with wider feet.

I would agree with these being a medium flex. I would size down half a size from your typical size. they will pack out to fit good. If you don't want to have to pack them out then get your normal size, but after a while they may get a little big. The toe box is roomy allowing your toes to breath and not get all bloodless and cold from lack of circulation. Has good heal hold as well with the cushioning in the ankle area.

DC Judge Snowboard Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 22, 2008

the boa system on these are rad. It does take a few runs to get them dialed though. they don't have upper and lower boa, just one. So after a run, the tension evens out and you tighten it up a bit more and then the same thing after another run. you can loosen and tighten them on the lift if you need some extra blood flow. The pump system is awesome and helps provide great pin point cushioning and heal hold. Good boots over all. True to size, size down if you expect to wear them a lot and pack them out.
