Patagonia Primo Jacket - Men's
October 30, 2009
Anyone have this jacket and want to fill me in on sizing/quality/amazingness? I'm coming from the arcteryx gamma mx hoody (softshell) and need to get a new piece for the winter. Does this run a bit small? I'm between a M and a L in the Gamma MX and want to get my purchase right on the first try. Thanks!

184's - I am your exact size and the 177's won't be long enough in the deep.

183. No doubt. I'm the same height and four pounds heavier than you, and wouldn't think twice about anything less than 183. I have the 177 karmas and the 183 goats and love the added length in the pow that the goats bring. Rip-city.

I'm your exact same size, ski on 177 karmas and 183 Goats. They are perfect for me (183 Goats). Try the 183's and 190's out and pick the ski you feel most comfortable in all-around. I wouldn't go any shorter than 183's in this ski though.

Canada Goose Aviator Hat
October 3, 2008
Anyone have any impressions of this hat? I'm looking for something along the lines of this and would like to hear some input.. It's a bit pricey, but I tend to be of the mindset that the majority of items out there in the world are priced according to reason (give or take outliers). Any help is appreciated!

Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Replacement Lens
May 1, 2008
To the best of my knowledge, yes...they will. I was talking with an Oakley rep the other day and he told me that they would fit. I have the XLJ's and they are awesome. Only bad thing is the fact that the Transitions lenses aren't sold seperately yet. Go on Oakley.com and search for a customer service number, they are really cool and will be able to give you a definite answer.
