I have had one of these for years and it has never let me down, I love to use it as a layer under my ski jacket the pockets are extra nice for snacks and keys and such. and the pit zips are a must have.

Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Fleece Jacket - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Fleece Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 April 23, 2009

I love the fuzzy feel. But no pit zips and funky cuffs are bringing me down. The cuffs are very strange and feel funny if it is not being used as a layer, and with no pit zips it is not much of a under layer. It looks good though.

Marker Duke Ski Binding

Marker Duke Ski Binding

Rating for this product: 5 April 23, 2009

ok so it isn't super light and it only has one elevator setting, but if you want to go fast up then get some Dynafits, if you want to ski without any hesitation on the burliest stuff then this is you binging. I have used mine for over a week now an I love them. got rid of my trekkers forever. These ski better than any other AT binding period end of sentence, yes you have to click out to go from walk to ski but I have to take my skis off to get my sinks off any way don't you?

I skied my friends Diamir bindings and they were super flexy under my 210lb bod. I was not impressed if you are looking at these get the MArker Duke, they ski much better

Darn Tough Merino Wool Over The Calf Ultra Light Ski Sock

Rating for this product: 4 April 23, 2009

ok so they are great for hiking or anything else you might need a thick sock for but I don't like them in my ski boot they are to coushie and there for abrasive with heavy use on the inside, I am going to stick with the Smartwool for skiing, but I will use these for every thing else.

So I though I would try some new socks again the last time I did I found these so another change might be good right, Wrong!!! this is it for me, I ski and I love the padded front over all the sock is just right for me. Keep them out of the Dryer and they will last for a long time.
