Rating for this product: 3 July 14, 2009

These are more form fitting and offer better support than previous years BodyFit boxer briefs. Though overall I am impress, these do have very short legs and it kinda bugs me...It's just that everything I wear is longer, so when I strap these on they feel uncomfortable.

The new foam pads are RAD! They are like ear plugs, which mold to your ear. I use these for biking and running and with these new pads they don't fall out. Sound quality is good for buds, the inline mic is slick and the cord tends not to knot. Good buy.

Rating for this product: 2 July 8, 2009

The nylon used is super slick and this does stuff very well, the sacks design is solid. Never the less, the stitching around the drawcords hem is coming apart on mine after only mild use and will soon be useless. I would not recommend this to a friend due to this durability issue.

Nuun Nuun Tube - 8 Pack

Rating for this product: 5 June 30, 2009

I think the benefits of Electrolytes are well known to athletes, but feel this is even a great addition to day-to-day hydration. A Nuun in the morning really starts the day right; hang-over busters for sure.

What?! BananaNuun. Lookout for the NEW BanananaNuun it is too good. I have tried all the flavors and do like them all, however I'd say Tri-Berry is my least favorite. Electrolytes are good!

Answer to: "I am an advanced- Low expert skiier who skiis about 75% Of piste/"

Volkl Ledge Alpine Ski

Volkl Ledge Alpine Ski

June 23, 2009

At 84 under foot this will serve well as an all-mountain ski; offering just enough float for those NZ pow days. This has been dubbed an Intermediate ski due to its slightly softer flex and torsion box construction. This won't have the power that you will find in a top of the line Expert rig, but will still hold an edge well/ transition between turns with ease.

Just to check your math, 75 off piste & 15 gettin' you jib on leaves 10% for throwing back beers on the Tram deck...Steezy top-sheet will keep you looking like a PRO throughout.
