Oakley Air Raid Bib - Men's

Oakley Air Raid Bib - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 February 10, 2010

Description says Purple & Blue, but says nothing about the shiny glittery silver effect that is far more pronounced than in the photographs.

Otherwise seems like a nice product, fit about a size smaller than other brands, but well made great vents and insulation.

Unfortunately it's going back because as my daughter put it - "it's the same color as my tutu" and there are no other colors in my size.

Volkl Kuro Alpine Ski

Thanks for the feedback - one more (combo) question.How does the Kuro differ from the Chopsticks? Are the chopsticks more of a trick and switch ski? (I never ride switch except for on the greens with my kids)

I have a couple of these and they are great as a primary layer under a shell for skiing. They do fit a full size smaller than marked compared to other brands, but they stretch well and do not feel restrictive. More of an issue regarding how it drapes on your body.
Seams are smooth and nothing catches or rubs.

Volkl Kuro Alpine Ski

January 6, 2009

I'm 6'2" 240# aggressive skiier(no tricks or big air). Since moving to the Tahoe area a couple of years ago I added a pair of 191 Mantra's for the last couple of seasons which have helped me adjust to Sierra powder (or powder at all coming from the east coast). Looking to increase the quiver for deep days.How would the Kuro's compare to the Mantras on a Kirkwood Area powder day? Are the Kuro's better suited to wide open bowls rather than tight spaces like trees and chutes?Or would I be better off splitting the difference with a Katana?

Poor choice

Brunton Firestorm Stormproof Lighter

Brunton Firestorm Stormproof Lighter

Rating for this product: 2 December 12, 2008

I have tried a couple of these and the flame output is not impressive, and flame control is pretty poor. The reason I tried two is that I read that the fuel quality made a difference so for the second one I used Colibri premium butane, but the lighter still performed poorly.
For the same price I got a much better Colibri branded unit.

How does this compare to the Mountain Hardwear Ascent MCZ jacket?According to the specs there is only an ounce or difference, but the ascent has some fleece lining and stowable hood.
