Good for a cheaper price

Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket Bud Headphones

Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket Bud Headphones

Rating for this product: 2 February 23, 2009

First off, I must say that I love the other skullcandy products I own. If I had to choose all over again, I wouldn't have gotten these. I got them from SAC or Whiskey, so the price wasn't so bad. I bought a pair of lowriders as well, and I have to say I like the lowriders more than these. They fit well, and keep the music isolated so i'm the only one hearing my headphones, but I expected better sound quality. They're loud, so volume isn't a problem, but they sound kind of muddy to me. Not what I expected for the MSRP on these things. I've got a friend that bought a pair of these. He also bought the titans at Ross for like 8 bucks. He likes the titans better than his FMJ's. Overall, if you want a pair of headphones that are loud without a huge amount of distortion, and you aren't much of an audiophile, these are perfect. If you score them at a cheaper price.

Flow NXT AT Snowboard Binding

Flow NXT AT Snowboard Binding

Rating for this product: 5 January 26, 2009

As one reviewer said, because of the number of adjustments on these bindings, it might take a few runs to get them how you want them. Get lower model if you're a beginner. After tweaking mine a few times, transitions have become almost effortless. The only waiting I do is when my friends are all on their butts taking forever to strap in. I am a little disappointed with the strap adjustments on the toe-side of the baseplate. The screw loosened during day 4, but I'll just put some threadlock on it and it should be good. I tried a demo board that had mission bindings, and I wasn't impressed. Step, Lift, DONE!

Gnu Danny Kass BTX Snowboard

January 21, 2009

A review on product #LBT0022 says that the Gnu boards have a wrapped metal edge all the way around. Is this really the case? I've read elsewhere that a particular Gnu board had the wood edges like the lib tech. I live in a small town with no good shops anywhere around us. So the main reason for the question is so I can make a decision whether or not to go Gnu or another traction board.

The North Face XTC Expedition 1/4 Zip - Men's

The North Face XTC Expedition 1/4 Zip - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 12, 2008

I recently went boarding in Whistler/Blackcomb. On one of the days, I decided to go with just this shirt and my boarding jacket. It was maybe 10 degrees F at the top of the mountain. That's without a windchill, and not on the lift. It does everything it claims! The only time I was a little chilly was on the lift. And if you've been to Whistler, you know how long the ride can be in the open lifts. And like I said, that was the only piece between me and my jacket. The pants were warmer yet. I left my inner thigh vents open on my pants going down the mountain. This set is the BEST! Can't say enough about them.

Toasty

The North Face XTC Expedition Tight - Men's

The North Face XTC Expedition Tight - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 12, 2008

Hands down the best base layers I have are The North Face XTC Expeditions. Used them at Whistler. It was 10 degrees without the windchill, and I had my vents open on my pants going down the mountain. And I was still toasty! What's better is that nothing smelled at the end of the trip!!! If you live in the great white north, do what you can to get these! Worth every penny.
