SmartWool Sport NTS Bottom - Men's
November 5, 2009
So I am curious to what these compare to in the Smartwool line? What makes these different from the regular NTS products I am used to? Warmth wise, do they compare to Microweight, Lightweight or Midweight? Also what makes these "Sport NTS" instead of just regular NTS? Would really appreciate any insight anyone has, thanks!!

Mountain Hardwear Beryllium Jacket - Men's
May 29, 2009
So I'm debating between the Typhoon Jacket and the Beryllium Jacket. I'm looking for something I can use in the summertime for mountain bike riding and hiking. In the winter I am thinking I would definitely use the Beryllium Jacket for snowboarding/skiing. My real question is: is the Beryllium Jacket lightweight and breathable enough to use a rain shell in the summer with temperatures going into the 90s.

Lib Technologies TRS MTX Snowboard
January 18, 2009
I went to a demo day at a local mountain maybe 3 weeks ago and rode this board and also the skate banana for 1 run each. I didn't really get the feel for either, but need a new board bad and I'm considering this.I love to dick around in the woods, hit natural features, bomb anything and of course tear apart powder where available.I'm 6'2'' and weigh 175. I've been riding a Burton Bullet 164 for the past 3 seasons and it's really time to get a new board because the bullet isn't allowing me to progress at all. I'm considering the 157 or 154. My boot size is an 11 so i'm thinking the 154 may be too small but I've heard you can size down with these. Just looking for an expert opinion to help me make my decision.
