This is an awesome winter moutaineering boot. I have used it to climb the ice around here in NH as well as for a hut trip in the whites. Super secure footing, easy break in, warm, and I still had feel for the terrain I was covering. I could not be happier with my purchase!

I purchased the Reverse Denim helmet for myself after trashing a Giro Omen. After having the Giro for 3 years I had been trying to find something that matched the warmth, comfort, and had a nice speaker set-up. I can't comment on the speakers yet as the store I bought the helmet from decided not to send the correct liner to me :/, but after getting no where dealing with their customer service (I wish it had been available on backcountry) I contacted K2's customer service and they are sending me a replacement as I write this.

As for the helmet itself, I think I am in love. The slight brim takes away any possibility of the gaper gap (and associated ice headache that comes with it). When I used to wear my Oakley A Frames with my Giro it would press down on top of my nose and make it difficult to breathe, and this only got worse with snotcicles, wearing them with my rant makes them feel like entirely different goggles. I have also warn my Smith Phenoms, which were comfy with the Giro, but not nearly so much as they are now.

As for the passive vent, it has kept my nugget toasty warm on some cold days out here in New England! not sure how well it will perform if it warms up a bunch, but will gladly describe that when I find out.

And finally the looks, who doesn't care at least a little how cool their gear looks? This helmet is completely unique. The covering is actual fabric, which I thought might be a problem when it came to soaking water, but that has not been an issue yet.All in all this is an amazingly comfortable helmet that seems like it was well thought out, and K2's Customer service was pretty awesome once I got a hold of someone.

After a day on the mountain behind my goggles these things have been awesome to throw on for the ride home. I bought them mostly for being out on the water later this year, so it was a huge surprise how nice polarized lenses are when driving or walking around. After owning them I would gladly purchase another pair.

I bought the rootbeer pair, and the color on my face makes them look like a very subtle black. as opposed to how shiny black the others are.

I love these pants. The style is sick, and the fit on the large is great when I throw on a belt. I matched up the bronze pants with the alaskan jacket, and I get complmented a lot from some serious brand whore friends. The pockets are perfectly placed, and have kept everything I put into them mostly dry. I think a little condensation from my sweaty legs will get through the inside sometimes to my phone. But it only makes the phone slightly damp. I love these pants!

This jacket has more features than most mercedes. It comes with a windshielding baklava that zips out of the jacket and fits perfect. There's a case for your sunglasses in one of the internal pockets. Has a hole for audio, and one for a camelbak bladder. Great cell phone pocket. Everything I could ever possibly want in a jacket. If it wasn't for the fact that the white gets dirty kinda easy It would never come off.

I purchased this sweater for my girlfriend, and she will not stop talking about how amazing it is. The fit looks amazing on her, but that is nothing compared to how soft it is. I can't keep my hands of her it feels so good! If you're considering this sweater at all, buy it.
