Smith Holt Helmet

October 8, 2009

This helmet is great! I have used mine for a couple years. It has a nice little mini brim and fits most goggles ( I have used smith fuse, prodigy, oakley, electric). The earflaps are removeable and if you wanna rock a beanie underneath instead- it works great for that aswell.

Does this helmet have built in audio? Because some of the earflaps have a hole pattern and some are just puffy-padded... what's the deal yo?

The VholdR contour HD is cheaper and seems to have better image quality and a lot easier mounting system. Which do you think is better?

Helly Hansen Ice Crew Top - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 20, 2009

I used to work for Helly Hansen and I love this stuff! These shirts usually run very slim. They are advertised as being a "2nd Skin". So if that bothers you go a size up, and it will still be a little snug. You need them to be a little slimmer fitting because that is what makes them retain your body heat.

Burton Custom X Snowboard

September 20, 2009

You should get a wide board with 11.5/12 size feet. Toe drag is the worst! You do have a couple options. You can get a wide board that will eliminate any toe drag. It will float in the pow good but it will be a little slow from edge to edge on the groomers. You might be able to find a good board that is MID-WIDE. The best thing to do if you still want the quickness of a regular-waisted board is to get some Plamer Plates. They raise you about .5-.75 inch and go under your binders. They work good to eliminate or lessen toe drag. I think Burton makes something similar as well

Burton Custom X Snowboard

September 20, 2009

You can use the conversion plates for any other Burton Binding. I was using a pair of Burton P1s (not est) and they BLEW UP and I had a horrible crash. I think they broke because of the weird pressure points that you get if you don't use est bindings.

Burton Custom X Snowboard

Rating for this product: 1 September 20, 2009

Don't Lose any of the screws. My Bindings blew up because I was not using the EST binding and I lost one of the contact screws during the crash. I thought I could buy just the one screw that I needed. I came to find out that this one little screw would cost me at $50 because I would have to buy the whole ICS hardware system- Burton would not supply me or any of the shops with this one little screw.

Great Light Pack

Gregory Z 55 Backpack - 3050-3660cu in

Rating for this product: 5 September 20, 2009

This is a Great pack. I didn't know that Gregory made such a sick pack- but now I do. It is super light. The ventilation next to your back is great- it sort of archs away from your back and it is so nice and breezy that my camping friends often thrust their arm through this "breeze-way" when I first put it on because they are so amazed.

Brixton knows how to make a good Hat! It has a nice little brim. It is very stylish and looks great in the country and in the city and great at the bar. Just make sure you get the right size, it seams to run just a touch big.

These shades are tight! I have a pair with the rose lens and it is great! You can pretty much wear them any time you want- even at night and still be able see- but why would you wear them at night? For the ladies, or course! If they see you wearing these, they WILL come over and talk to you!

So Fresh.

Dragon Phase Sunglasses

Rating for this product: 4 September 20, 2009

These shades are awesome! Just big enough. They are like the Spy Trons, but just a touch bigger (and better)! I have the brown and they are sweet- the frame is sort of transparent, the lens is nice and dark.

Julbo Sherpa Sunglasses - Spectron 3 Lens

Why does it say in the description that these are a "huge value at under forty bucks" yet the price is listed at 44.95. Yes, I guess I am cheap but I think the description should at least be true.

Black Diamond Deploy 7 Shovel

Black Diamond Deploy 7 Shovel

Rating for this product: 5 September 20, 2009

This is a good shovel. It is very compact and easy to deploy. The shaft is short but if you are on a steep slope while using it and will ne up to your knees/waist in snow it will be the perfect height for quick-paced shoveling. There are other shovels that have bigger spoons but this one is fast, light, strong, and easily packable. Do not ever buy a plastic shovel, they will break in wet cement snow and avalanche debris.

Burton Ion Snowboard Boot - Men's

Burton Ion Snowboard Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 September 20, 2009

These are pretty good boots. I have had 3 pairs of ions and I do prefer traditional lace-up boots. The eyelets pulled out after about 2 months. Burton will warranty, but it takes awhile. The boot is comfortable and very compact, which means you will probably have to adjust your straps before you take these out for the first time. Make sure you try them in your bindings and secure a good fit before you shred the ganr.
