Great helmet fit / Sensor Mirror rocks!

The shape of the prodigy's have a more box cut (compared to an Oakley A-frame) and as a result fits great with the cutout of my helmet. Alot of helmets I see have a cutout that's more square than round, so a goggle like this sits flush.

I've got Sensor mirror lenses: Amazing!
Had them in a 0 vis day back-country in clouds. Anything your naked eye can detect without them on gets the contrast boosted with the goggles on. Not to say your eye couldn't see them if you really tried hard, but if you're going down a run, you want any crud to stand out and the sensor mirror does that.

You can also customize the frames' look with removable "highlight" pieces (one at the top like a uni-brow, and one under each eye on the bottom). Seems less sturdy when you flex it in your hands since there are removable parts but it's of no concern. I switched mine to straight black for a solid black frame and like it alot.

Quality quality snowpant

Sessions Achilles Pant - Men's

I picked up a pair of these for a good deal as my ski pant for Whistler. Used them 28 times at W/B in and out of bounds and they served me well.

I'm a 32-32 when it comes to jeans (I like my jeans to fit a little loose like most do) and I picked up the large based on the 32" inseam. Pants fit but are quite baggy (enough that I have to pull em up when I clip in). Waist is big so belt is a must. Looks damn good on the hill though.

As far as waterproofing, I had no complaints through the year. They were never cold, never hot and the crotchzips + extra pockets are key. I also leave my pass safely inside them since there's a built in clip that keeps it form slipping out my pocket. I have NO need for anything but a pair of Goretex bib pants now.

I picked up this pack to use for weekend back-country camping trips.
Having used a friend's Serratus 85L pack I noticed some differences.
I have a really tall torso and the tall pack was perfect (6'1 with 32 length pants).

The thermoform back with good lumbar curve made packing as easy as stuffing things in. The straps allow for easy tuning while on the move and keeps all the weight beautifully on the hips. The thermoform hip supports feel stiff and rigid, but end up being *extremely* comfortable and lightweight when compared to very padded packs.

The only improvement I would ask for would be twin zippers on the side access zipper so that you can get to the bottom of the pack without having to unzip the whole side (maybe not possible with waterproof zippers).

Great pack!
