This looks like the update to the Thru-Hiker...these are good three-season lightweight FREE-STANDING tents... I empahsize that because that's the main reason I bought this over the Light Path or the clip flashlight. This has definitely held up in some good storms. I have another tent for when I'm kayak or car camping that is a little more spacious, but for a free-standing backpacking tent this rules

Just bought these locally and I've played soccer in them, hiked in them etc. Powerstretch is a great fabric. I bought Mediums counting on the "stretch" and have been fine. nice fabric cut and seams are not too heavy on the fingers. Not a complaint, but suggestion...maybe some silicone on the finger tips in spots might add some dexterity...

and I never regret when I wear them. Great goggle for the money. Polar fleece laminated face foam makes them super nice on the coldest days. I have these with yellow lenses for low light days on the east coast. (Frankly, these are such a good deal I wouldn't recommend changing lenses, just buy two pairs and change goggles, and spend more time on the hill)

If I'm wearing my helmet, these are the goggles I rock. One of my co-workers even commented on how gap-free they were with the helmet. If not wearing a helmet I'll rock A-frames or O-frames that are a little lower profile.

Great board. Super light. Nose shape on both ends allow you to ride switch in bowls or the woods; I prefer twin boards for riding in sticky situations because that way you can always change up how you drop in to best suit the situation. Traditional camber helps it rail groomers on those days...

I usually ride this shape in the spring. It's super versatile and can jump and jib a lot better than most people give it credit for. The flex is a little more consistent overall than an Agent so I like how it rides in all conditions where I sometimes find the nose & tail of the Agent to be a little soft. So I definitely prefer this for spring time jibbing over an Agent...

Rode a 159 at Jay last year and was a little worried about the performance on ice. Was pleasantly surprised how well it performed. Obviously reverse camber so it will shred pow, so I'm super psyched to ride this this year.

This is a nice fabric but I generally prefer the powerstretch AR bottoms in my layering setup. These are nice weight though if you're hiking for turns or if it's a little more spring-like

and have been thrilled with the tops...in my review of the bottoms I say how I prefer the powerstretch but I really like these on top as a first layer. Combined with a thicker wool sweater these are a part of a super versatile layering system that adjusts to different temperatures well

You look a little weird wearing 'em with no shell pants on but it's a great concept. Huge fan of the Powerstretch fabric as a bottom baselayer under shell pants.

Put on a singlet and they are good "first" layer...Put on midweight long under wear and this is a good midlayer...I combine often with a Marmot Driclime windshirt to complete my layering.

If they were to create an outerwear hall of fame, you'd see this alongside TNF Denali's, Cloudveil Serendipity's, & Arc'Teryx Theta AR's. Great for Spring and Fall biking...mid-winter touring...as a layering piece...I've even worn it as a base layer...Nice layering piece under a three-ply shell (or even one with a hung liner) taffeta slides smooth against the inside of your outer shell for unrestricted movement. Pocket is great for ipod or keys.

I made the switch to Rome boards a few years ago and love them. I ride the 58 in Vermont woods and love it. My complaint about the fish is that it was great in the woods but sucked on the trail getting there. This board can handle groomers and rules woods, banks, & anything you can find off-piste. Also, the nose tapers really thin, I believe this helps it deflect up and out of the snow (keeping you above board). I ride it the same size as my Design (my full-time groomer board), but I used to ride bigger boards before switching to these boards (63 & 62's)

This is my full-time board and I love it. I ride the 58, I rode the original version and loved it and bought this one. The new nose construction is a lot more forgiving and helps makes this board go any where on the mountain. FYI on the Smart base- You can wax it. It just helps to adapt to the snow temp on days you haven't waxed or have missed the wax.

This pack rules. I have an older version but it's basically the same pack. The Osprey style wings makes sure it carries well no matter how much gear you are carrying. It's got multiple ways to get into the pack; so if you put a fleece at the bottom you can easily get it out.The top pocket is great for your goggles. I've done Tuck's a few times with it as well as early season hikes at Stowe.
