Great snowshoes. They are the only pair I've owned so I can't really compare them to any others but they perform well enough that I wont be looking that get anything else.

The only thing I could really complain about is the binding system can be pretty annoying, but if you just spend sometime to properly adjust them to your boot then you should be good. I have had a problem with the ends coming loose of the clips that are supposed to hold them in place, but the binding doesn't come loose from this; it is just annoying.

I. LOVE. THIS. JACKET. Seriously, I think Arc'teryx is one of the best brands on the planet. Unfortunately you do have to pay for that, but it is well worth it in my opinion. I have to say, I feel impervious to the elements when I wear this shell, and it is very easy to adjust all around. The hood has 3 (well really 4) different adjustments so it can fit perfectly comfortable for anyone. My ONE miniscule criticism is that the front side hood adjustments can be hard to pull with gloves when you are wearing it.

Something else to know when buying this jacket is that you shouldn't have to size up. I find this jacket is already sized up a little to fit over layers, so if you are a size small (like me) you should probably buy this jacket as a small.

Overall great boots. They are nice and light, warm, and keep your feet dry very well. I only have a few complaints. One, they tend to get quite soft after they are worn in, although maybe some people want that, but not me, not for a good hiking boot. Another thing, someone said something about them being true to size, and needing .5 a size larger for thicker socks, but my feet are size US 8, i bought this boot size 8, and even with mountaineering weight socks with liners these still feel at least .5 a size too BIG. Unfortunately I am told that 8 is the smallest size these come in.
