Stoic Wraith Shell - Men's

Stoic Wraith Shell - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 22, 2012

I use this thing for everything splitboarding, climbing, trail running, taking the trash out in the rain, fly fishing, etc...
It weighs nothing and packs up super small. There really is no excuse for not owning one or more of these.

Best Fruitboot for Splitboarding

Dynafit TLT 5 Mountain TF-X Alpine Touring Boot - Men's

Dynafit TLT 5 Mountain TF-X Alpine Touring Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 6, 2012

These things are amazing. If you splitboard stop wasting time with 1980's strap bindings and softboots. Get some dynafit toe pieces and these boots. Touring function is unreal. File out the "ski mode" hole for increased forward flex. After that mod these things are more flexy than my previous softboots. They surf pow like a dream and can handle the gnarliest ascents thanks to their short sole length and crampon compatibility.

Dynafit TLT 5 Mountain TF-X Alpine Touring Boot - Men's

February 18, 2012

Hey Graham, these work great with mtn plates. if you are using another hardboot binding like the bishop bomber there has been a few issues due to the thicker bail wire.

Voile Mojo RX Split Snowboard

Voile Mojo RX Split Snowboard

Rating for this product: 4 October 3, 2011

I have a few different versions of the Mojo. The RX is much better than the mojo of a few years ago. The board is really light, turns well, is stable, and has a fair amount of pop. More importantly it skins like a dream. For the price it's hard to beat Voile. Some people give voile a hard time but they are the reason splitboarding is where it is today and they are made in the USA not tunisia or some other weird place. durable cap construction and a thin, light core help save weight and your legs on big uphills.

Patagonia Nano Puff Pullover Insulated Jacket - Men's

October 1, 2011

there are several colors and sizes at the sale price. the price box clearly says past season colors on sale. sorry if you thought that was misleading. the regular price items are the current season colors and I don't think Patagonia would like it if we sold them at 30% off :)
