This ride is amazing! I got the F1 Premier at the end of last season and wish I would have picked it up earlier. The board rides so smooth whether your bombing steeps or dodging trees. It's a great ride, has a three year warranty, and it's made in the USA...what else can you ask for in a board. Keep some of that money in the states!

Cozy jacket. I purchased this last season on super sale from the local shop. Turned out to be a nice coat. It's got great style and fit (not so baggy like most of burtons stuff). Usually wore it as a base layer which had just the right amount of protection to strip down to when hiking and touring. Also works good as a top layer when warmer like the product description says. Only thing missing, which is kind of key when wearing it as a top layer, is the powder skirt. Only other complaint is it's not made in the USA...bangladesh, but good luck finding any gear that's not made over seas!

This review would have been a loved it but the audio system failed on my helmet as well. The audio worked from December until the last week of March. I rode almost everyday and always had this bucket on. The helmet has a great fit and the liner covers up the gaper gap between your goggs and helmet perfectly so no frozen forehead. Great helmet and would recommend to buddies....just don't be sold because of the built in audio...it will fail.

Glad I got these poles. I use them for backcountry boarding, and hiking. They're definitely durable and easy to adjust.

everyone should own one these softshells. they're a little pricey, but they hold up forever. this shell is always with me whether i'm summiting or riding. great for layering and nice on top when it's not freezing. the two chest pockets are convenient and accessible. i've had mine for 6 years now (still were manufacturing in canada) and still looks great.

These draws are sweet. Easy to clip with and they don't twist around like the skinny draws. Love these draws.

Love this bivy. Zero set up time (just unroll it and throw it on the ground) and great protection. The mesh bug screen is nice and the opening is a good size to get in and out of. I'm 5-9 and have no trouble with room in this guy. I can even throw my pack in at the top if my feet are all the way at the bottom. It definitely keeps you warm too. I've woken up with the outside covered in frost and had no moisture built up inside and stayed completely warm. Love this bivy and highly recommended to buddies.

This shovel is definitely a good buy. It's sturdy and efficient. I haven't had to rescue a friend with it thankfully, but it worked great on all exercises and practice rescues in the avalanche safety course I took this year. The probe however sucks. It's small diameter and only 6' long. It takes forever to put together since it doesn't autolock and has to be screwed together...even with practice and 6' just isn't long enough. If my buddy has a probe this short, I'll let him carry my Black Diamond 300 in his pack...and I'll carry the six footer. Great shovel, but buy a real probe!

I've put this bag through every thing from multiple luggage checks to cross country trips strapped to the top of the car and it's held up great. You can pack everything you need for an entire trip in it but with new weight limits for the checked baggage you get screwed with additional fees. It is also a great place to stow away all your gear for the summer. Love it and definitely would recommend it to a buddy.

I purchased this pack for this last season. It worked out nice. It carries all the necessities well (probe, shovel, water bladder, first aid kit) but there's not to much room for more than a couple extra layers left. Super comfortable when your board is strapped on the back. Of course the AK construction is incredibly durable and held up well through an abusive season! If you like to travel light, this is the back for you...if not definitely go with something that offers more volume.

Great shades! The fit is excellent and they feel great. I wear them on the mountain bike and on the motorcycle and never worry about them flying off. Von Zipper offers this model with a prescription lens as well.

This is a great filter. It's so easy to assemble and use and pumps fast. Just read all the reviews on the page...everyone loves it. The water always tastes great and you know you're not going to get sick.

I love this pad. I had a thermarest prolite but just purchased the synmat 7. It's a little heavier but you will sleep like you're at home in bed with this mat so the extra weight is worth it for me. The pump is easy to use and doesn't take that much time to blow up..maybe 2.5 minutes. The only thing my thermarest will be used for now is a loaner to buddies that don't have a sleeping pad. Buy this pad and you will sleep great!

Everyone should keep one of these in their packs. Its light weight, packs down super small, and keeps the bugs away. If you're reading this review, you must live in an area where the bugs get nasty so just buy it! The only flaw is it really tough to drink a beer when it's on....so you'll have to be brave and lift the net up to take a swig.

This rack works great. I have a ford escape with the standard luggage bars on top. The rack fit perfectly and is super easy to install and remove. Had 2 boards and 1 pair of skis almost everyday. The clips/buttons pop right up which makes it quick to load and remove gear. I purchased the locks which can freeze up making it hard to get a key in. Since montana rocks, I never had to lock up my gear so this wasn't really a problem for me. If your driving multiple broke bum buddies to the mountain, this is a great choice.

I love these draws. Just picked some of these guys up and im definitely satisfied. They are great for sport climbing and super easy to clip with. It just sucks that they are made in china....with everything else i want to buy.

Mammut did an excellent job with this rope. Its light weight, stays dry, and is extremely durable. Ive been using this rope about 2/3 times a week for the last two months sport climbing and it has held up great. I bought the 70m and despite the tech specs saying no center mark, there is definitely a center mark distinguished by a darker green color. Prior to this rope, I had been using a mammut 10.2mm. I like the 9.8mm thickness better and will probably continue to purchase the smaller diameter ropes.

Just bought this for my most recent trip. Works well, packs light, and the insulating pad around the plastic keeps the coffee nice and toasty. If you dont want to splurge for a titanium press this is a great option for much less.

I just purchased the spatula for a trip in moab. I usually just bring a bamboo spoon to cook with but forgot it on this trip. The spatula seemed like it would work well, but only if your planning to serve and not cook with it. The first pancake i flipped the plastic started to melt. I wasnt pleased with the fact that it was melting after the first use so I just tossed it. Would not recommend it unless you like plastic in your food.

The whisperlite international is a solid stove. Its a must bring for all my trips whether its the mountains or camping out of the truck. The stove is quite efficient with fuel usage, but takes some practice to perfect your simmer skills. Ive cooked everything from pancakes to brats on this stove and its been super reliable. Its easy to take apart, and just as easy to put back together. I usually break it down once a year for a good cleaning. Have recommended to many buddies and will continue to in the future.

I haven't had any complaints about this harness. It fits great and the doubleback buckles can snug up and hold well. Two of my friends bought this harness after my recommendation and both love it as well. If you're looking for a comfortable reliable rig that you can where all day....this is it.

I picked these boots up after riding the ions for the first half of the season. Ions were just a little to stiff for my comfort. The XIII's definitely are the most comfortable boot I've ridden! They provide enough support but are still plush and cozy to ride all day every day. However, after 10 days the rubber toe started to peel off the front a little. I continued to ride these boots 40+ times this year and they are still killing it with out any other quality defects. Haven't put the Ions back on since!

I rode my custom x for three hard seasons! I loved the board and it was definitely the best burton board for all mountain riding. It was time for a new board this year and I was going to get another custom x but decided to demo a never summer premier f1. After one day of riding the NS, I was sold. I bought the premier, and probably will never buy another burton board again. So the custom x was great....but the NS rides better, and has a 3 year warranty!

Picked up a divide (regular not the wide) and love it! Im 5-10, 155lbs and have been riding a 161cm. It handles great in the deep backcountry powder and super responsive through the trees, but is a little cumbersome on the groomers if your accessing backcountry from a resort. I set it up with sparks ignition II binders instead of the voile system and couldn't be happier. Switching from touring to riding is painless and the binders feel great on the board.

I snatched up the bora 65 four years ago and still love it! i've used the pack for pretty much everything...from traveling overseas to a day pack for rock climbing. You can load it up heavy and the super plush hip belt transfers all the load with easy. That pack has a great fit and you won't be sorry on long hikes. I was going to purchase the bora 80, but i'm glad i went with the 65 instead. The material and quality of the pack is bomb proof and I haven't had any issues after 4 years of abuse and multiple luggage checks at airports! The pack is pretty pricey, but you won't ever need to buy another one. my tag says made in canada...but I think the new ones are being made in the phillipines.

I picked up this vest for a little extra protection. It fits extremely well and you can't really notice you are wearing an impact vest. I did have to remove the bottom pad since it was pushing on my belt line but after that was removed it fits and feels great. I agree with the other review that if you are wearing a beacon this vest doesn't have a high enough collar and the strap will rub on your neck. I've worn mine every time out since I've purchased it. Good buy.
