Icebreaker BodyFit260 Slalom 1/4-Zip Top - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 8, 2011

amazing garment that will breathe when you need it to, but still keep you warm when the temperatures drop, can literally be worn for weeks without smelling, and it is remarkably soft up against your skin

as of about a month ago I own two of these, which is awesome because now I don't have to do laundry until spring

love these things in pretty much every flavor

they can basically be used as a substitute for a meal when you're on the go (or feeling lazy)

I wonder about the toffee buzz flavor with the caffeine in it, haven't tried those yet

Best Hoody Ever

Hemp Hoodlamb Furry Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 8, 2011

Probably the most comfortable, warmest hoodie I have ever owned. Buy one of these and I swear you will want to sleep in it. Worth every penny. Runs true to size if not just a wee bit large. No need to size up or down. The zipper takes a bit of getting used to, but I otherwise have no complaints. Wearing it now and pretty much daily, this is my go to hoodie for cold temps.

Smith Skullcandy Single-Shot Helmet Audio Kit

Smith Skullcandy Single-Shot Helmet Audio Kit

Rating for this product: 4 January 8, 2011

These work real well and set up is a breeze. A lot more comfortable then having an in-ear set up, and not the bulk that some helmet speakers amount to. 5 stars for for my feeling that the in line volume adjuster could be made to be less obtrusive/smaller.

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad - Rectangular

Rating for this product: 4 June 2, 2010

great pad, plenty thick and kept me comfortable through a recent 4night camping trip , suggest blowing it up in stages over the course of say 20minutes, versus blowing it up all at once and getting the fatigue that goes along with it

Rating for this product: 4 June 2, 2010

these are great oakleys at a fair price.. I really enjoy them for sunsets .. the polorization adds to the overall clarity when I compare them to my old oakleys... also low profile and low weight is nice... I would have given them five stars but I still have a little trouble with them fogging up .. though not to the extent of my old pairs

not big enough for me on deep days , those with say.. 8inches fresh or more

super light weight, felt like the lightest ski I have been on this year

nearly five stars

Skullcandy Asym Earbud Headphone

Skullcandy Asym Earbud Headphone

Rating for this product: 4 March 29, 2010

I've only had these for about a month , and so I'm not yet ready to give them 5 stars.. but they're well on their way.

been looking for years for an over the ear cord with an in-ear plug style head phone that is comfortable and will stay put

so far, these appear to fit the bill

while skiing, I wear just one of these in my left ear under a helmet .. and secure the other one (not in use) to my suspenders with an aligator clip ... works well

no wind in my left ear, doesn't work itself free after a bump run , gets plenty loud .. and I can ride for hours without discomfort

turn up the volume with both of these in your ears and you can't hear anything but your music

..just the way I like it

K2 Pontoon Alpine Ski

K2 Pontoon Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 4 February 28, 2010

rode these for the first time this past week .. a lot of fun! didn't have much for new snow initially , but they performed well on hard pack, far better than I would have imagined. They were able to hold an edge rather easily, and when snow came later in the week, I got an appreciation for how well these can float.. not much speed required to keep them on top of the snow, and they want to pop off of everything. I noticed a little bit of chatter at high speeds in crud, though admittedly the snow was heavy that day. If there's one thing I disliked about them : they are difficult to carry, but that's to be expected given their shape. Suggest using a ski strap of some kind if you're going to be putting these on your shoulder and hiking Baldy all day..

Rating for this product: 5 February 14, 2010

quite possibly the most versatile ski I have been on so far this year.. can hold an edge well .. not too big where you'll coast on top of powder all the time.. can submarine them easily for a face shot as necessary (when conditions permit) , light weight as well which makes these very easy to maneuver

Dynastar Legend Pro Rider Alpine Ski

Dynastar Legend Pro Rider Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 4 January 10, 2010

I have skied several of these Legend Pros over the years and really enjoy them. Stiff construction keeps them stable at high speeds. Able to plow through crud no problem. Large turning radius makes you want to go fast and rip big lines.For heaps of snow, (on days where its deeper than say, 18inches) I would suggest the XXL version for its added float factor
