I hate not having complete field of vision and my old goggles spent many a days on top of my head; instead of covering my eyes. Coming home from the mountain day after day with serious eye fatigue though I decided I needed to actually get some goggles and wear them. The Smith I/O goggles have the best field of vision I have seen. The only obstructed view is right at the bottom of the goggle and the bridge of the nose. I can live with that since they save my eyes the strain and will hopefully save my nose from breaking in my next inevitable face plant. Any fog that builds up clears almost instantly and they come with two different lens which are seriously easy to replace... Unless you're like me trying to do it driving down the interstate in the pitch black dark. Don't do that.

This is probably the best helmet out there for the price. The Smith Holt Skullcandy Audio Helmet is a good looking helmet, with lots of vents for the hotheads like me, and the speakers in the ear pads are great. The helmet to ipod connecting cord seemed a little cheap and would crackle sometimes when it got jarred around, but this was a quick fix with a higher quality cable. The sound is great for the price and gets more than loud enough for me. It's also a perfect gap-free fit with my Smith I/O goggles.

These Burton Approach gloves are great, they keep the snow out and my hands really dry. The removable liner can be left in the car on warmer days and great to have in on colder days. For the coldest days I'd suggest getting a bit warmer liner though, unless you have awesome blood circulation or lack fingers, at which point you should probably just get mittens.
Oh and if you get them in Apres Plaid Touch the Sky and rock the Burton AK 2L Cyclic Pants in Totally Pink be prepared for some overly matching steeze

I'm 6'1 175 and the medium fit awesome, except for the butt (which mine may be large for a medium) which seems to not be a huge fan of me sitting down and it having to stretch (zippers weren't made to stretch). Other than that it's amazing, I'm debating picking up 6 more so i can wear a fresh one every day of the week, it perfect as a baselayer for the slopes or as comfortable jammies to wear around the house and weird out your housemates.
And can it really get any better than pterodactyls? Only they make a triceratops version. Or Megalodon.

Coal makes some awesome beanies that are made to stand up to the punishment of hitting the slopes everyday or crunching excel sheets in the office everyday, like I get to do.
This one comes worn in like the beanie I've been wearing for the past few years, without the un-awesome air vents (read: huge holes).

This jacket is awesome, the only problem you might experience with it is sizing, I'm 6'1 175 and the large was just a bit too big for me, but I have a smaller upper build and like my jackets a little tighter. So if you're in this range you have to figure in how big your build is and how tight you like your jackets/if you plan on layering under the jacket or over the jacket.
The branding on it is great, a cool goat logo that's not too big or flashy is the perfect addition to this wool hooded jacket.

I wouldn't buy this product to head to Hawaii for the week, unless you're just packing your swim trunks, but it's great for an overnight or two night business trip. It's built to take getting banged up by the airline if you want to check it, but it's small enough to carry on and throw in the overhead (depending on who you fly with). Overall it's a great rolling bag, that's high quality and rolls better than any bag I've ever had, but it's not for those packing heavy or going on long trips.

I tend to not really layer until the real cold (below 40/30 sets in and this jacket is a great pickup to help tide you over until then, it's warm and lightweight, but definitely not made to protect you from the real cold by itself.

Throw on a baselayer and this jacket and you're pretty much good to go, it's extremely lightweight, but it's a great windstopper and the snow skirt will keep the powder out and you warm and dry.

I picked up the large ballistic Black Timbuk2 Laptop Messenger Bag and it's huge. Maybe almost too big for my daily ride to work, but other than that it's great. I easily fit my helmet, cycling clothes, laptop, and a pair of sneakers in the bag with room to spare. You could probably fit 6-8 laptops in the bag, but then again who cares around 6 laptops, I max out at 2. The built in laptop compartment doesn't seem to be removable so I wouldn't be trying to use this one as a beer cooler like the other timbuk2 bags.
