Smith Prodigy Goggle - Polarized

Smith Prodigy Goggle - Polarized

Rating for this product: 5 October 6, 2009

I love these goggles!I got the polarized lenses because I was looking for a goggle that could block a little more sun and also reduce glare. I use them on occasion in low light situations but they are much better on blue bird days or with a few clouds in the sky. If your looking for goggles that fit the Smith Variant or G10 helmets these are great. They are a perfect compliment to a goggle that allows a little light in for those cloudy days

Marmot Expedition Mitt

Marmot Expedition Mitt

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2009

I love these gloves! They are super warm and durable. I wear these whenever the temps drop into the teens and below and they always keep my hands warm. In other gloves I have tried swaping liners and every other trick but always come back to these. Good for skiing and winter camping and when it get into the negatives im still warm. Great Product!

Gets the job done

G3 Targa Telemark Ski Binding

G3 Targa Telemark Ski Binding

Rating for this product: 4 January 8, 2009

This is a very solid binding. I have broke 1 cable and the plastic off of the heel piece ( which doesn't do much) in about 200 days skiing. The cartridges don't provide a ton of stiffness but if your looking for a light weight, bomber binding with more of a neutral feel then you have found the perfect match.

Great Helmet!

Smith 2008 Variant Brim Helmet

Smith 2008 Variant Brim Helmet

Rating for this product: 5 January 8, 2009

I love this helmet! It's warm, comfortable, and the ventilation rocks. Don't let people tell you the brim doesn't do anything. The top of your goggles will stay dry and no snow will be able to get into them thanks to the brim. The adjustability is another plus as well. I havent tried them all but I can't see another helmet on the market being as good as this one. You won't regret buying the Variant one bit.

G3 Targa Cartridge Set

G3 Targa Cartridge Set

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2009

These are great cartridges. They deliver much more power than the x mountain cartridge. They are not as stiff as some of the BD cartridges but I love them and they do exactly what I ask of the. Nice and springy and I don't get much tip dive on powder days either. These are defiantly the cartridges you need if you want more power.

Light and Reliable

Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter

Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter

Rating for this product: 5 December 22, 2008

I hike a 600 mile section of the AT and used this filter. I never had any real problems with it and I new that if i needed water I could count on this filter. It's a really light and compact filter. One of the nice things i like about it is that it isn't ceramic so barring some sort of fall the innards wouldn't break. This filter pumps out water really fast and is perfect for an overnight or doing the whole AT.

Great pack!

Osprey Packs Aether 70 Backpack- 4000-4400cu in

Osprey Packs Aether 70 Backpack- 4000-4400cu in

Rating for this product: 5 December 22, 2008

When I bought this pack 3 years ago I was psyched. I spent a little extra money because this pack had everything i wanted in it. It was big enough, and although a little heavy, its worth every extra ounce due to how comfortable it is. I got the hip belt heat molded which is an awesome touch and fits perfect, defiantly take the time and do it. This pack has been through rain and snow and is perfect. It doesn't look old at all and I've put well over 700 miles on it. For all of you winter campers/skiers you can rig a pair of skis on the sides too! This pack is great and worth every penny!

Best pad out there

Therm-a-Rest Prolite 3 Sleeping Pad

Therm-a-Rest Prolite 3 Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 5 December 22, 2008

Therm-a-rest got it right with this pad. It's light, packable, and comfortable. I haven't come across another pad that comes close to this one in any way. I've used mine on probably over 100 nights and it hasn't gotten a hole in it or anything else. The only bad thing about it is that the stuff sack doesn't come with it but besides that its perfect. Defiantly the best pad on the market.

Scarpa T1 Telemark Ski Boot

Rating for this product: 5 December 18, 2008

These boots are great! I love the walk mode and although they are kind of on the heavy side you will appreciate the performance on the way down. This boot is perfect for inbounds as well as backcountry. I've used them from VT to AK and they always get the job done. You wont regret getting these boots.

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Jacket - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 17, 2008

This jacket is not only super warm, it's super comfortable. I got it last year and it was perfect for those winter camping trips where you can't muster a fire. Defiantly the warmest jacket I've ever used. And don't worry about wear and tear. It comes with tough shoulders and after a year of use it hasn't lost any feathers and still looks brand new

Rating for this product: 5 December 15, 2008

I got the O1's last year and they have been nothing short of amazing. I've skied from Vermont to Alaska and they get it done in any condition. The tour mode makes skinning incredibly easy and just flip a switch and your ready for the downhill. I can't say enough good things about these bindings. Great job BD

Rating for this product: 5 December 15, 2008

I bought my first Prodigies 3 years ago and loved them so much I bought another pair with the polarized lenses. These are great goggles for sure, I've never had a fogging problem even on long hikes. They also fit my G10 helmet great! no gapper gap at all. Defiantly one of the best goggles out there.
