Some limitations

Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Women's

Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 May 21, 2009

Overall its a great jacket light weight, water proof goretex pro shell that taskes very little pack space. However it was not suffiecient for my multiday skimountaineering demands. The material is a little to thin and not as durable as some other shells I own like the Patagonia Powderbowl or AK 3L given those are heavier. Also its not as wind proof as my other shells and the hood does not fit my helmet well So I ended up sending it back. I generally think Arcteryx products are great I own a pair of theta AR and beta AR pants which I love but were made in canada. I have a feeling since Arcteryx was baught by Amer sports and is producing in china the quality is not holding up to previous standards.
I can say enough good things about Backcountry. A++ service!!! Keep it up!!!

Probably the best ski on the market

Atomic Sugar Daddy Alpine Ski

Atomic Sugar Daddy Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 5 June 3, 2008

In my view these skis unite all the components that I demand in backcountry skiing- the one and only all mountain ski:
1.Can hold an edge in all conditions. I have trusted them in icy steep clouirs with my life!
2.Very light weight for the performance and size. Great for touring- breaking tracks, traversing and skinning up steeps.
3.Great in powder! Heli skiing Ak style ahhh Yeah! Rip it baby. They love to float and fly.

overall a great reliable ski but more so for the demanding athlete who has the muscles to krank these babies to make 'em carve even on groomers, steeps and ice....
after all they are not called daddies for nothing. :) I love 'em and sometimes I wish they had more of a side cut but I realize also that would affect their reliability.

Will tear easily

Cloudveil Koven Pant - Women's

Cloudveil Koven Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 1 June 2, 2008

Great fit, keeps you dry but can tare very easily. Perhaps good enough for a resort but not strong enough to withstand the demands of serious backcountry skiing or ski mountaineering.
