I'm really quite pleased with this jacket. I wear this jacket everyday. I can wear it in fall or on a warm rainy day, but when layered properly, it provides excellent warmth while snowboarding.

I have only one grief with the jacket and that's the way the hood attaches as there is a sort of stiff piece between the jacket and the hood. Unless you push the hood all the way down, that stiff piece sort of pokes you in the back of the head. It annoyed me at first, but I got used to it pretty quickly, and the jacket feels excellent when the hood is up.

I love these bindings. I haven't had any issues with mine concerning the cord. They close very soundly and while locked in feel just like a regular strap-in binding. You notice the difference at the top of the hill though, when your friends are on their butts doing up their straps and you just click yours into place.

Having ridden on both Clicker and Switch step-in bindings, these are by far my favorite step in bindings so far. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I decided to spend a little bit more and get these boots. I was not disappointed. They fit very well, are very warm, have excellent flex, tighten up nicely and have multiple options for lacing.
They were a little uncomfortable to begin with, but are wearing in nicely.

These seemed a little hard and stiff when I first put them on, but within a day or two, they had worn in very well. I don't usually wear flip flops, but I wear these things everyday. They are nice and comfortable.
