Stoic Merino Bliss Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's
4 days ago
I love my wool shirts but...I have an icebreaker and after a year or so, the wrist cuffs seem to be stretching out from pushing them up during trail runs once I warm up...
Anyone have a longer-term durability review of the elastic in the sleaves of this woollie?

G3 Targa Ascent S/S elle Telemark Ski Binding - Women's
May 18, 2009
I believe that the elle version has shorter cables for the (generally) smaller female feet. You should be able to match your sole length to the cable size if you research the G3 site.

Volkl Polar Bear Telemark Ski
March 29, 2009
Given that this is the old mantra shape/design w/o the metal, how does it do holding an edge on firm/icy conditions. Chopped up crud? I'm assuming powder performance is great.
Comparison to the G3 saint or reverend? Storm BC?

K2 Mt. Baker Alpine Touring Ski
March 28, 2009
I've got a similar Q. Have considered both skis, and also the Karhu Spire.
I see the upside of converting the Work Stinx, is that when my A. Kailas tele set-up dies or I want a fatter AT set-up, i could convert the Work Stinx as tele w/o re-drilling. Anyone ski the Work Stinx as AT? Any comparison between these K2 skis and the karhu spire?
Thanks.

Garmont Endorphin Mg Alpine Touring Boot - Men's
February 2, 2009
I have heard that the Garmont shells/liners realy just come in one-size jumps and they rely on the thermofit to dial the fitting. Is this true?If so, would the 29.5 size be the same as the 29 or the 30? Thanks CoryAlso. I have a pressure point on the outside of my foot, just forward and above the ankle pivot "axle". Does anyone, know if the shell could be blown out in that spot by a good bootfitter, and not interfere with the walk mode?

Dynafit ZZero 4 C-TF Alpine Touring Boot
January 28, 2009
I'm just crossing into AT from boarding for 20 years so I'm just getting used to in-bound blacks. I demo'd these boots this past weekend. I have somewhat wide/flat feet, so it took a little while to get the forefoot dialed. I might have missed the forward lean adjuster, but I felt like I wanted more lean but the stiffness at the shin was painful and never settled into a comfortable spot. I was bruised by the end of the day. Anyone else have this problem or a solution?
