...Also note that the tags work as a fully functional bluetooth headset for taking or making calls when paired to a mobile phone. A subtle tone alerts you to an incoming call. To take the call just press the button on the earpiece, which pauses the music until the call is over and switches you to phone mode. Press again to resume to music mode once the call is over.

GREAT sound quality from the guys over at Outdoor Tech. These headphones are awesome to wear while, well, doing anything. I love not having to worry about ripping my headphones out of my computer (again) when I get up from my desk or the couch. The range is amazing, i can venture all around my house they never cut out. Cant beat this kind of (Outdoor) Tech for the price either!

i love my Moment Bella's for every condition from groomers to powder to crud. the early rise tip and tail make them float in the powder while the traditional camber underfoot and sidecut makes them super easy to ski on groomers.

used to ski the K2 Phat Luv, but these have quickly replaced them.

handmade in Reno Nevada by some of the coolest dudes in the world. if you want a great every-thing-ski and want to support a made in america product, this is for you!

I have several pairs of Skullcandy buds, and the 50/50 are by FAR my favorite.

The sound quality on the 50/50 is super clean, not tingy or too deep like you find in a lot of other buds. The mic is great, not too bulky, and works well with iPhones and iPods for volume adjusting. I also find that these stay in my ears better than some other headphones, I use them for running and biking and rarely have to adjust.

I recommend these headphones to everyone who asks what they should get. They are by far some of the best that Skullcandy makes.

This hat is SUPER warm ...

not only is it thick and hand-knit, it is fleeced lined around the ears.

it also comes with spare POM so you can change-out the color whenever you need to spice things up.

the wide nose on the splice doesn't give you that "pinchy" feeling that other goggles tend to do. the out-riggers help the goggles fit into most any helmet, and the SICK colors from Oakley make these goggles a must have!

I have a pair of Dragon Rouges, and love how they fit well with multiple brands of helmets. They are a medium-large frame and fit most every face. This goggle is great for someone who is looking for a goggle that isn't huge and will fit with most helmets and faces.

Every Deuce Brand watch is packed with negative ion technology which provides multiple health benefits to the wearer. Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that that can be found in abundance in certain environments such as mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Negative ions produce biochemical reactions enhancing the levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression by increasing the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, strengthening of the immune system, speeding up post workout recovery times, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy.

The Moment Reagan is an AWESOME ski for girls who really like to tear it up. They handle great in deep pow, crud, and are super fun and stable on the groomers. If you are looking for a fat ski that you can take out on any day of the year, these be them!

Ive had these flip-flops for about two months in, and they still haven't broken in yet. Since they are leather they tend to be a little slippery.

They are super cute and comfortable, I just dont like that my feet slip and slide around in them when I walk. I guess I will give them more time ... and see if they get any better!

I had to return this jacket (bummers) because it fits super small. I am normally a Med in jackets, but this Med fit more like a smedium. The arms are short and shoulders tight, but the fit around the waist was about a medium. Sizing up fixed the length issue but it was more like and XL in the waist that that point.

I LOVE this hoodie ... it is the most comfortable one I own! It has a long torso on it so you dont have to worry about it being to short with jeans or ski pants, fitted look so it doenst look frumpy on you, and comes with thumb-thongs, which, to me, is a huge selling factor. And yes, I really do own one in every color, its that fantastic.

These Sorels are the best! I normally live in flip flops and just deal with the wet feet and damp jeans. But now with my Sorellingtons I can re-live my childhood days of tromping through puddles without a care. They run large (like all Sorels) so I suggest to size down.

even with the name matching the current economic state, this year's TGR film was no letdown. the lines that Morrison and Sage ski will make you think "wtfrick are they thinking ... ". sick lines, some HUGE airs and a handful of killer tomahawks will leave you amped and ready for the snow to start falling!

great film...def the best of the season. sick lines and a killer soundtrack.

Simon Dumont!

I recently tried out the Stoic Luft down sweater, and was immediately impressed with the practicality of it. At a little over 1/2 a pound, the Luft is by far one of the lightest down jackets I have ever tried, which makes it great for backcounty/sidecountry touring. It is a great insulated layering piece for those cold days, and will keep you warm. The fit on this jacket is very feminine and doesn't make you look like a bubble like many other down jackets. Thumbs up!

The Skullcandy Double Agents are my new best travel friend .... with built-in rechargeable battery and SD card, you can take your tunes where ever you go at the very minimalists of efforts! I always manage to 'misplace' my iPod which results in a minor freak-out and mini heart-attack. But with my Double Agents I have fewer things to pack and carry and most importantly less things to 'misplace'.

The sound quality on the Double Agent is great, not tingy like some other headphones i have tried. They do fit snug, but once you get used to them, and honestly you wouldn't want them to fit any looser, they feel snug.

I picked up the Honey Stinger Organic Energy Chews in the Pomegranate Passion Fruit flavor, and they sure don't disappoint! Unlike other energy chews, the Honey Stingers didn't make me feel ill to my stomach shortly after eating them. They are also smaller in size, so you don't have as much in your mouth when you are trying to bike or ski or run. Try these out, you wont be disappointed!

no, i really do. this beanie from discrete is a keeper. the fit is great, a good deep fit that has just enough room for a little sag, but not over doing it like an all out bro-brah park rat.

cant wait for more colors ... like i REALLY need more hats ....

I got the pleasure of sleeping on the Therm-a-Rest Dream Time pad one evening while car camping ... and oh my word, I don't think I had ever had such a great night's rest while in the outdoors before! It is pretty bulky and not the lightest thing, but its not like you are tackling Everest with this thing on your back. If you want the comfort of a 5-star hotel while out bonding with Mother Nature, then this pad is for you!

The Burton Relay Full-Zip hoody is perfect for a fall day ... not too heavy that you feel like you are too bundled up and scorchingly hot! I am uber picky about the length of sleeves on hoodies, the Burton Relay has sleeves long enough to pull your hands up in without stretching it all out. With all the color hits in the hood .... cant go wrong!

I LIVE in my Teva Mush flip flops. And own almost every color they come in. I have been wearing these flip flops for about 6 years now, and I cant find a better fit, quality, or price from anyone else. These hold up GREAT, I wear them around 362 days out of the year, and a pair will normally last about 1 yr to 1 1/2 yrs. Plus they are wicked comfortable, even if you are up on your feet or walking around in them all day. These Teva Mush flip flops are a MUST HAVE!

First, props to KEEN for making foot-specific socks. And then labeling them L and R for us, in bright yellow none the less! Wicked cool guys!

There are so many things KEEN has done right in the Boulder Canyon Quarter Ultralite socks ... reversed sticking so the toe seam is on the bottom, arch support, ventilation on the top of the foot ... Plus the Merino wool makes these socks really soft!

I would recommend the KEEN Boulder Canyon Quarter Ultralite Socks to anyone who is looking for a great lightweight hiking sock.

The Bridgedale Women's X-Hale Trail Diva Sock is the PERFECT sock for Summer-time hiking. It is light weight, breathable, and padded in just the right spots. I wore these while hiking in July, and my feet stayed dry, and blister-free. I would totally recommend the Bridgedale X-Hale Trail Diva Sock to anyone who is looking for that perfect Summer sock.

The Bridgedale X-Hale Multisport Women's Sock is a GREAT sock for any outdoor activity. I wore these while biking and running in 80+ degree temperatures, and my feet were comfortable, stayed dry, and blister-free. I would totally recommend the Bridgedale X-Hale Multisport Sock to any woman who is active and wants a comfortable sock.

The North Face Arnuva 50 Trail Running Shoe is a good shoe for both trail and road running. I have ran on this shoe a handful of times on road and dirt, and it worked great on both. The deeper treads on the Arnuva help grip in the dirt and make it a stable run. I love that North Face added the side-adjusting feature ... allows you to tighten or loosen your shoes during a run as your feet swell.

The North Face Arnuva 50 Trail Running Shoe runs large, so there is no need to size up for a roomy running shoe.

I LOVE my BC Gear Slut shirt! I got two, a pink and a brown, because I couldn't decide! I ordered a Large because I wanted a little larger fitting shirt, and it is perfect. Not tight and constricting, but also doesn't feel like i am swimming around in it. This BC shirt is made of a nice, soft cotton that is, BONUS, 100% organic.

Now, other than the feel and fit which are great ... how can you beat the saying?!?! Classic ... and TRUE!

The Pistil Women's Charlie Hat is a super cute hat to wear pretty much any where. The adjustable back allows the hat to be worn by any sized head. Pistil did a great job picking JUST enough pink for the Charlie hat. You don't feel like you are five years old, but just girlie enough that you can sport it for a night out with the girl's without feeling like one of the guys!

Gotta love Teva sandals! I have nearly every style and color they make. The Olowahu is great if you are doing a lot of walking or more active type things as the extra straps help hold it tighter to your foot. They are uber comfortable and stylish as well.

They are narrow and run slightly smaller than street shoes, so chose a half-size or size larger than normal when ordering.

These running shorts are great for the warm weather! They are uber lightweight. The built-in liner keeps them from creeping and moving places they shouldn't. The zipper pocket is great for holding a house key and chapstick. The elastic and drawstring waist allow for the sizes to be more broad.
