Rating for this product: 5 January 19, 2009

Great jacket especially at the discounted price. I'm 5'9" and the Lg fits just fine. Not bulky and not too form fitting. Makes for a nice layered piece when it gets too cold.

Great vice for a home shop. Able to secure it on one of my folding tables and it remained stable throughout the whole job. It keeps my boards stable as well. Worth the investment.

DAKINE Deluxe Tune Tuning Kit

Rating for this product: 4 January 2, 2009

Nice kit to get you started on basic tune-ups for your ride. As stated earlier, you'll still need a hot wax iron. For the "sale price", it makes it a better deal.

Burton Custom Snowboard

In general, you'll get more speed with a longer board. However, you need to consider your ability as well in order to handle/control the longer size board.

The North Face Windwall 2 Fleece Jacket - Men's

December 13, 2008

did you think to look at the sizing chart provided on this page?Of course I did. But if you would have read the previous reviews like I did, you would've seen some that stated the sleeves tend to "run long". Just wanted to know if the actual sleeve lengths were any different from the "sizing chart". BTW, a lot of help your answer provided...not.

Can someone provide the sleeve length for an XL size? Couple of the reviews say the sleeve lengths run long. Would really help in my purchase decision. Thanks.

Rating for this product: 5 December 12, 2008

I've had the opportunity to use Eagle Creek products (backpacks, wallets, etc.) since my college days (20yrs ago). Just like those products these pack-it sacks rock on! I currently use the small size to stow items such as earphones, mp3, batteries, and flash drive. Nice way to stash and organize.

Two Thumbs Up

Oakley Crowbar Goggle

Oakley Crowbar Goggle

Rating for this product: 5 December 12, 2008

Another quality Oakley product. Have the Black Iridium lens for "normal conditions" and have the Persimmon lens for really overcast conditions. Swapping out lenses can be a chore but can be done. I have a medium size face and it fits perfectly. Those with larger faces should try em on before making the purchase.

Rating for this product: 5 December 12, 2008

Great gloves and you get a lot for your money. Start off with the Gore-Tex inserts, fleece liners, goggle wipe, and pockets. I wear a med-large and the glove fits perfect with liners, however they get pretty roomy without them. Highly recommended!

Oakley Crowbar Goggle

December 11, 2008

Ummm...it looks very shiny and you can't see through it. The Fire and Emerald lenses are mirrored, and some of the others are close. If you want mirrors, don't get persimmon or yellow as they're very easy to see through.Sorry, I forgot Black Iridium is mirrored.hey bro, its cool a while ago i wondered the same thing. If the lens is labled "iridium" or anything iridium then it means its mirrord. btw these things are sick. That's correct. Any "iridium lens" will be mirrored.
