Montrail makes great shoes and I needed a new pair. Got these for a great deal on SAC. Def a little stiff at first but feel great. Awesome traction and nice material. Have held up well so far. I would buy another pair!!!

Awful Boots!

Ride Deuce Snowboard Boot - Men's

Ride Deuce Snowboard Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 1 June 7, 2009

I started this past season on this boot. It was uncomfortable, had pinch points, didn't hold my heel well, the inner laces are NOT in the liner but a cuff in the boot, crappy inner liner lace retainer, material wears super fast, not very think, crappy velcro retainer on to of liners. Overall they sucked. I bought a cheap pair of Northwave's and they were 100x's better. I rode these boots again today to try the Contraband bindings and remembered why I quit wearing them. Anyone want a great deal on a barely used pair of 11 mens DFC Deuce Boa Coilers? :)

Got a set of these this year for the GF. A much better binding then what she had (old morrows). The toe strap works great as a cup and the material flexes over nice. She's a beginner so not much more feedback but there nice for the coin!

ThirtyTwo Prion Snowboard Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 June 4, 2009

Bought these for my GF and she loves them. The print on the white ones is a ton of little boots, looks pretty cool. She wears a 7 and they fit great true to size. One thing is the tread in front hangs out the sides a little and makes it pretty wide and a tight fit in a small binding but still is fine.

Rating for this product: 2 June 1, 2009

Well, at the start of the season I bought these and they rocked for the first 8-10 days. After that they really started fogging bad. It was pretty annoying and I ended up hating my Anon's, I am kind of sick of Burton. This year I bought these goggles, a RED HiFi Helmet and RED Ninjaclava to wear together. Mind you these are all Burton items and together fit like CRAP! Sorry BC but my Anon's are coming back to you and going to try some Smith's next!

Rome 390 Snowboard Binding

Rating for this product: 5 June 1, 2009

I swapped boards last weekend with a buddy...My NS Evo with Forum Republics for his shorter NS Evo with 390's. I have to say I loved the bindings. Super comfy. Responsive yet soft enough to get your jib on. Felt very close to my setup with the other binders. I am looking for a pair of Neon colored 390's for my Artifact now!!! Wish BC still had this years 390 in a larger size!

Mine are great...don't leak like others have said. I don't entirely understand the cap and vent setup but it works really well. Made hot tea at 9am and at 5pm when I left work and realized I never drank it the tea was still not enough to fog my glasses. NICE!

**Update - The logo and writing came off my silver one really fast. It was replaced with a goat sticker which im sure will last longer!

Rating for this product: 5 May 6, 2009

I bought this board as I really wanted to try MTX and have heard such good things about the CHB. The CHB MTX kicks butt!!! It's super fast and stable at speed yet flicks around like butter! The MTX worked great on an icy early morning slope. I have rode quite a few different boards this year and it was definitely my favorite cambered board for the price. Did I mention you can press it like jello?

Special Blend Utility Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 19, 2009

First off it's a sweet jacket! Mine is black and did NOT have the funky rainbow colored rings on the front, which I was stoked about! The liner however is purple as can be. The purple like you see on the inside of certain "Vampire" capes used for Halloween!!! It's a total "mid weight" shell IMO. Definitely not a thin one and definitely not down. Perfect for me. Plain, simple and functional. Baggier fit but not crazy like some. Only wish it had zip-in. Get it!!

Red Impact Short - Men's

Red Impact Short - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 March 19, 2009

The shorts are meant to look somewhat baggy and they do. Hip, thigh and tailbone padding. Well placed but kinda loose. They should have built the padding on the inner liner. The sizing is really weird. Talks about extended etc. There is nothing to extend. They tie and fit like a board short. I wear a 34 waist and got a M and they're a bit snug but I imagine the pads would be all over the place in a large. Keeping the M for me!!

Forum Recon Snowboard

No.. It's more of an all mountain board. You want a jib board for park and street. I ride a Rome Artifact for that purpose but there are lots of nice ones out there. There are also some nice boards that can take the park and street and still be ride able on the mountain. just depends on what you want!

Rating for this product: 4 March 11, 2009

This is my 2nd set of customs of this year. I bought the clear/frosted white ones but wanted the black ones. as soon as I saw them hit Brociety they were mine. I now have a spare pair! They are a decently wide binding for the size. meaning they will fit your moon boots fine! The cap straps are super nice and I haven't had any problems like I've read about the ratchets. They are Burton so if someone had ratchet problems Burton would replace them for free. If you are looking for a great really comfortable freestyle/all mtn binding these are a great choice!

Rating for this product: 3 March 11, 2009

Not the most comfortable. The new style ratchets on these are light years ahead of previous RIDE stuff. The bindings are stiff and for a reason. The high backs are a little short for me and they seem to rattle screws loose with every ride. They are OK I guess but there are others I like a lot more especially for the $!!

Rating for this product: 2 February 23, 2009

Ok bought this as a mid layer to wear under my shell for snowboarding. I ordered a men's Large and it was a little snug and way to short. No way to ever tuck it in etc. The fabric was nice and it seemed warm just trying it on. I threw it in the wash on gentle cold and it fell apart after the first wash. The left sleeve cuff where the fabric is rolled over and sewn came completely apart. The threads and stitching in the left armpit came completely apart now. So I never got to wear it and it's going back. I would totally try another one if it was a little longer.

I have been looking for a simple rack to mount on my factory one and haul 4 snowboards. I looked at this one and liked it and finally it hit Tramdock so I picked one up!! It fits my factory 1996 Ford Explorer rack great! Holds great and works great. Kinda was to easy! Doesn't require tools but you would have to open the rack to pop the plastic caps off to ever dismount it so it's safer then it sounded in some of the reviews I read. Check it out!!
