this will be my first year wearing a helmet skiing since I was a youngster. I can't get over how light it is. I don't feel as though i'm wearing a helmet. For those of you who have avoided wearing helmets because of their bulky, heavy, restricting features, this is the one for you. my mom is stoked

a nice compact kit that holds all of the essentials safe and secure.

I just got these gloves, and the fit is on point! Very comfortable, snug, and mobile. With a little bit of nikwax these gloves are going to suit me very well this season. Im not usually a leather glove guy, but these have won me over.

Warm, tons of support, and lightweight. They are almost the perfect alpine boots. Mine had a slight problem in the spring with snow melting and leaking into the boot a little. no biggie.

I used these bags last summer on a river float trip where we had to hike 30 miles to reach the river. These bags were perfect because of how light and packable they are. Once we reached the river we put all our gear in the bags and everything stayed nice and dry. I also used them for my camera equipment which stayed perfectly dry as well. just be careful not to rip the fabric, which I feel is pretty durable. 5 stars

I like to use these sandals when i go on a fly fish/backpacking trip. They are lightweight and pack down very flat in your pack. They work well for wading and the toe box protection is always key for river travel.

These boots fit me perfect. I have never had a blister. For being such a lightweight boot, they have excellent support throughout. I did 30 miles with a 90lb pack, and didn't twist my ankle once. They seem to be very durable as well which is always a plus when dealing with hiking boots.

The Dragon Rogue has treated me well. They don't seem to fog as bad as other brands. The styles and colorways are really original. The fit is definitely for people with a medium sized face. If you have a huge head/face, they might be a bit tight. The peripheral vision is really good with these goggles. The polarized lenses really kick ass on those extremely bright days in the alpine.

these are my favorite sunny's from dragon. They are very comfortable and light on your face. Also very good coverage for your eyes, no light leaks in. The polarized lenses help me see through the glare to spot trout on the bottom of the river. eye protection is key whether in the city or on the river.

I like this pack because you can fit everything you need for killer day in the backcountry. The organization is good and efficient. I always ski with the avalung ready to go in case the crap hits the fan. I feel a little bit safer dropping into hazardous terrain knowing that my avalung could save me if buried by a slide. The avalung also doubles as a snow snorkel when the chin deep snow is clogging your airway!

These skis are all time. The shape is very unique. They are a little tough on groomers, but if you are looking at these skis you won't be riding them on groomers anyways! They SLAY the powder. These skis will do anything you tell them to. If you want them to float on the top, they will. If you want them to dive deep, they do. When you are turning in powder, it is extremely effortless and surfy feeling. The deepest powder day of my life was spent on these skis, im glad I had them because I was able to float in neck deep pow while most others were stuck in there own tracks.

This is my favorite park ski from Armada by far. They are very light, responsive, and well made. The conquering lion graphic says it all about these skis, they straight conquer any feature you hit, park or pipe.

This travel bag has everything you need, and nothing you don't. You can organize your gear very well thanks to the thoughtful design. The sturdy construction and smooth rolling wheels make it very easy to move from the airport to the mountains. I love to live out of this bag while traveling. Its my home away from home.

if you like a nice streamlined leather glove, these are for you. they are very comfortable, however you may need a beefier glove for those really cold days. All around good value.

I used these pants everyday for an entire season. I never got wet. The eVent 3L membrane really is a game changer with these pants. You can always count on staying dry through even the wettest of weather. If you want a bombproof relaxed/baggy technical pant, look no further.

The main reason why I love this jacket is because it is light, without sacrificing quality and durability. The fit is very comfortable and relaxed. It also kept me dry through some serious weather. A very practical shell to say the least. Also, the green/magenta color way is a sweet throwback from the early 90's.

style, quality, durability, functionality. The Armada Galactic jacket is on point. If you are tired of the same old colors and styles from all the other technical brands out there, try this one. You no longer have to sacrifice quality and technicality for style as this jacket has it all!
