Back of Vest
Red Impact Vest - Men's
June 20, 2009
Here's a picture of the back. You can kind of see the outline of the shell, but it's really hard to tell it's an impact vest....just leave it on and grab a beer.

Bern Watts Hard Hat Helmet w/Knit Liner
February 18, 2010
Yes this helmet can be used for snowboarding...just check out the description above. It's not rated for severe blows but I've taken some pretty good shots to it without any damage to the helmet or my brain.

Bern Watts Hard Hat Helmet w/Knit Liner
January 31, 2010
I use an old pair of anon halcyon's with mine. They fit well and don't slide. Maybe go into your local shop with your helmet and try some different goggs on to see what you like best. I just got a pair of electric EG1s and they fit good with the helmet too.

Backcountry.com Dawn Patrol Vaccuum Coffee Tumbler - 3-Pack
December 10, 2009
So what's the deal with these? Between the reviews for the single or the three pack it sounds like people love it or hate it. With that said I have two questions. Does it leak if not overfilled and tightened properly? Does it really keep the liquid hot for atleast 3 hours? I want to be able to throw this in my pack and not worry about a spill, so I'm looking for an answer from someone who has been using this on the mountain or in the backcountry.
Thanks Angus, that's just the answer I was looking for.

Black Diamond Bipod Bivy Bag

The pole has an extremely tight fit inside the bivy so you shouldn't have to worry about the stability. I haven't had any trouble to date with it in the wind.

The pole weighs 84 grams. You can definitely use the bivy without the poles (I have many times). All the pole really does is give you a little head room which can be nice at times.

If you click on add to cart and proceed to checkout it should show you how much shipping will be when you enter your shipping address. I put in a generic address (113 king st, melbourne, 3000) and it shipping was about $175. It may vary a little when you put your actual address in.

Lafuma Naia 50 Backpack - 3050cu in - Women's
June 24, 2009
Normally you could purchase from the site, but it says "permanently out of stock" above so backcountry has sold out of this model and is not restocking. I checked a bunch of other sites and looks like everywhere is sold out of this model.

Red Impact Vest - Men's
June 20, 2009
It looks like a vest on both sides. Black on front and back, and white on the sides. You access the pads from the inside so they're covered by fabric on the outside. The outline of the pads can kind of be seen but it's pretty inconspicuous. You can wear the vest in the bar after riding and not look like you're dressed for halloween. I'll post a picture of the back.
