The fit and function of these Wildcat GTX shoes is great. the waterproofing is awesome. I ended up returning them because the interior lining tore out after 6 months. I was not happy about returning them but i expect more from La Sportiva.

Alright I've skied these boots for only 5 days this year but i love them. I'm a gear snob and these boots are living up to me high standards. The adjustablity is great. No cold feet. I'm an intermediate skier who is progressing quickly and these boots are keeping up with my growth very well. My skis are the Dynastar Mythic Rider (122, 90, 112) these boots give me great control of my skis. I've never felt that the boots were skiing me or couldn't keep up. I have a low volume foot with an average width.

So i use these pants at the crag, the gym, and the office. I wear 32" 32" pants and the Mediums fit me perfectly.

I demoed this board last year at the 09' Industry demo day at Snowbasin. It is so lite. Even with bindings it's super lite. It holds a sick edge. You can really lay it out at speed. Great pop. It floats in powder. I rode this board, an Arbor, a Salomon, and a Burton all in the same day. This board trumps them all. I felt like I was trying to turn a dump truck on the other boards. I loved the demo so much that I bought this board this season as soon as I could.

A classic. Theres no C to get you runner or the bolt caught on. There is nothing worse than being on lead 10 feet above your last piece trying to get you next piece in and your runner is all caught in the gate. This carabeiner solves that problem.

So i used to be water bottle only guy. I avoided bladders like the plague. I didn't want all my stuff to get soaked when the bladder inevitable leaked. then i got this bladder after much struggling and research. Now i am a convert to the bladder hydration system. I drank more watter more often and had to stop less to drink. On my Bike it's killer. No more fighting the bottle cage to get out my bottle. I will still take at least one Lexan style bottle on every back country trip but i will also take my bladder.

Not only does this spoon deliver the blessed backcountry food to my mouth but it fixes my stove too. Ever wonder where you left your stove repair kit? with this spoon just think about how hungry you are and how you will deliver the food to your mouth, and you'll realize your repair kit is on your spoon.
I have used this spoon so many times in the backcountry to fix my stove. I love this spoon. I lost it for about an hour and nearly had a myocardial infarction.

These are sweet. Great looks and pure vision. the XYZ optics are killer and equal no headache and no tired eyes.

This pad is great. I wish i had one a little bigger but i like this pad a lot.

This is far and away the best ATC style belay device ever devised. easy to use and functional beyond belief. I could recommend it higher, especially if you're belaying from above.

I have climbed in Boreals, Red Chilis, and Scarpas. The Miura trumps them all. It climbs face, crack, and it boulders extremely well. I have regular sized feet -nothing special- and they fit me perfectly. Also they get better with age instead of loosing their edge. The best climbing shoe you can get. they are worth ever single penny.

these are sweet. they fit well. I wear and 11/11.5 i got the 11 and should have gone 11.5 but they work great. super tough and classic.

These runners are super strong and easy to work with. Some of the best runners i've ever used. BD got it right again.

The Grigri is the best. It is nearly impossible to screw up. Its self locking function is killer. I love it on lead belay. And if your out with some newbies and their hanging a lot you as the belayer can rest too.

These boots are extremely well made and perform better than any other boot I've worn. The heel cup hold down the heel masterfully.
My only beef is that after only a few weeks one of the lace loops cracked. it still works but i would like to have had that not happen.

These Boots are great but not for me. I have kind of flat feet and these boots when stiff and tightened like i like my boots they hurt the arches and the tops of my feet. i loved the features and the BOA's are great but the pressure points were just wrong for my feet..
