Way to go Patagonia! This is a beautiful shell, well designed and fits well. The amazing thing is the fabric - it's actually a waterproof hardshell that feels like a softshell and stretches like you wouldn't believe. Amazing stuff. The hood is totally functional and fits over a helmet if needed. The pants are amazing too!

This thing cranks! A great snow melter and all-around stove too - will hold big pots no problem and is one of the most stable stoves out there. Also the in-line adjustment valve allows control from blow torch to birthday candle-size flame. It's somewhat on the loud side but otherwise it rocks.

These crampons should be in any self respecting ski mountaineers pack - super light but also strong. 390 grams! I've bent many other lightweight aluminum set-ups but not these. I worked them on hard quartzite and ice and they came out no worse for the wear. Excellent product - they also work fine with Tele boots contrary to other published reviews.

This is one handy tool - Bakoda is just killin' it with their line of pocket tools - This is not some cheap plastic file holder - it's casted metal and will last a lifetime of tunings, whether it be in the parking lot or at your home. It instantly takes down burrs and dinged edges, resharpening them to razor percision. You can even do a 2 degree bevel. The magnetic feature keep the shavings out of your hand too. Very cool.

This glove combines warmth, dexterity and durability in one slick package. I used a pair all last season and they showed little signs of wear. They are definately the one pair I look to grab on the way out the door - awesome gloves.

The C60 is so light you won't believe it. They're lighter than the box they come in! Not super stiff, they are the ultimate powder ride combined with the SL7 boot and Fish board. WOW! You're flyin'. The new toe cap is awesome too.
Great binding.

Unbelievably light and very supportive - this is no flimsy light boot. Wild carbon fiber look shell is way cool. The best feature is the size of it's footprint; barely bigger than your street shoe size - a huge factor for guys with bigger feet. Killer boot!

An awesomely versatile piece that can be used year round - it's the one piece of clothing I use more than anyone else. My son now has one and it's his favorite piece too. Super light and compressible but provides great wind protection and warmth - and the microfleece liner is super soft - you just don't want to take it off. Add a Marmot Precip Jacket and you have a great combo for rain, sleet, snow - year round protection.

I saw the other reviews and have to say I had the total opposite experience with the clicker binding version. The Clicker work great, is totally bomber, and very reliable. I have at least 60 BC days on mine with no issues whatsoever. I'm totally psyched on the setup.

Patagonia has a winner here in the Stretch Element - both Pant and Jacket! This is one crazy fabric - totally waterproof a 3-layer hard/soft shell that's highly breathable and stretchy with an amazingly soft hand. Full on storm protection that moves and breathes with you. Sick!

This is the sickest jacket ever - it has it all going for it. Lightweight but full featured, just enough stretch - the Gore XCR Stretch is an amazing fabric - big front pockets vent well and allow you to store items and still vent - a unique zipper closes the mesh pockets/vents but keeps the opening, well, open! They easily hold skins or goggles or whatever. The hood works well with no blind spots, even over a helmet. This jacket will fully meet the demands of anyone whether they're at the resorts, in the backcountry, or doing the most technical mountaineering routes on earth.

This is a great lantern - very unique in that you can actually direct the light by angling one or both of the side reflectors - you can practically focus a beam of light if necessary. Very efficient too, I couldn't run out a small canister of gas in 8 days of use - several hours a day! It's brightness is adjustable too; that's awesome. Only minor issue is that the mantle is hard to replace with larger hands.

Awesome running shoe for both road and trail. Super light and comfortable - the bruise protection is adequate without being too stiff, making it a versatile shoe for all conditions. I use it for trail running - it's not as stiff as the older Ultra 100 or current Ultra GTX, but is just as good.

This stuff rocks. It keeps me going all day long - I don't even eat regular food anymore when I'm out going for it - just one packet an hour with a little bit of water and BOOM, I'm off. Taste great too.

This pack really works - like magic it easily can carry loads I wouldn't dream of putting in any other pack. No more minimalist style for me - I'm packing my pillow! The North Face has revolutionized backpacking - again! The best thing since x-frame suspension. Get two.

This technical jacket is totally amazing - it cuts out the chill without all the bulk you find in most WindStopper pieces. It has great stretch for mobility when climbing or skiing and the sleeves don't ride up your arm when reaching overhead - one of the best alpine climbing jackets ever made and it looks great around town too. I get compliments on this unique looking jacket everywhere I go.

Whoa! - talk about a beam! This thing is so bright my neighbors called the police thinking it was a UFO the first night I tried it out, walking around the neighborhood. Easily the brightest I've tried, perfect for night skiing, biking, boating etc. A great headlamp to have in the car - it comes standard with a car lighter adapter - no dead batteries to worry about ever. It also has multiple light settings for when you don't necessarily need to use it as a cutting torch. Awesome product!

This is an awesome vise - super easy to set up and use for mounting, waxing, edge filing and de-burring. It securely holds your gear in flat or upright modes. Totally mobile too; it clamps to hotel desks and bathroom counter tops for on the road use. Killer product.

The Marmot Randonee Glove is the nicest ski glove I've ever used. Great dexterity and a great soft feel. Initially I thought they would not last -they felt soft and "broken-in" from the get go. I'm going into my third season in them! Without a blown stitch or any major wear. These are the shii-ite.

This is the nicest baselayer/performance top I own. The silky smooth finish on this fabric is unbelievable - it's like wearing nothing. It is also the fastest drying garment I have - for backcountry skiing and climbing this means no cold shirt on your back, ever. It's always the first top I go for when I know I'm going to be out all day. THE best in its class!
