Bio:
I live on the shore in Southeastern Connecticut, but I'm currently going to school out at the University of Notre Dame.
I've grown up hiking in the Berkshires, the Whites, and the Green Mountains, and love to get up North as much as possible.
A few years back I started kayaking, and have been spending a lot more of my summers on the water, especially the Eightmile River, the Connecticut River, and Long Island Sound.
Also in the past few years I picked up snowboarding and have been in love with it ever since. I do most of my riding right here in New England but love get out to Colorado to ride the Rockies when I can (who doesn't?).

Venting System - Internal View
Burton AK 3L Hover Jacket - Men's
December 7, 2008
There are four external vents positioned around the body of the jacket so that the air can enter and flow around your body to cool you down. To allow maximum airflow while still preventing snow and the like from getting in, there is a mesh barrier between the venting passages and your body.

No, it does not come with more than one mesh. But supposedly you can substitute lightweight, breathable, or snow and water repellent inserts? The problem is getting these other inserts. Mine came with a mesh insert in them, and I have looked extensively for places to buy other ones with no luck.

Oakley A Frame Goggle - Polarized

On a bright day when the sun is shining on the snow, it can reflect and create a lot of glare. A polarized lens will greatly cut down on this glare and allow you to see more clearly without the bright glare.

It's hard to say which one is absolutely the hottest, but these are some of the warmest you'll find. But if you're on the quest for perfection, you might also want to look at the Outdoor Research Alti mitts, Hestra XCR's, there are a good amount of absurdly warm mittens on here.

No the Cyper does not have ALL the same pockets as the Circuit, but the Cypher is just a notch smaller in the same line, so it does have MOST of the same pockets. And 300 cubic inches shouldn't be a crucial difference if you're looking to use this for school or around-town purposes.

Burton P1 Snowboard Binding
December 7, 2008
they will fit but your toes will be way over the edge of the bindingI wouldn't recommend getting a small size for bindings. You won't have as much control.No, the small size will not work for size 10.5 boots. I have size 10.5 boots, and size M P1's and even then I needed to get a couple extra-long ladder straps to make it feasible to strap in at the top of each run. Once you get the straps, though, medium works well with 10.5's.
