Pow Gloves Royal Glove

Rating for this product: 2 January 19, 2012

For warm and dry days ok. At freezing temps in the one digit F area - those gloves are defintaely not warm enough, this is already mentioned in the description. but when it rains or the snow is very wet after half a day of riding the do get humid inside (and i am sure i was not sweating at my hands...).

Don't go hiking without it

Suunto Elementum Terra Altimeter Watch

Suunto Elementum Terra Altimeter Watch

Rating for this product: 4 December 27, 2011

Great design and quality.

This watch really helps you to measure how much altitude you still have to do. It records up to 8 trips. If weather conditions are stable the altimeter is very precise.

Only negative point is, that the manual is very short. most of the functions you have to find out for yourself by pressing the different buttons... for this one star less.

they adjust very well to chaning light conditions. when the sun is away you really see the differences in snow surface that lies before you. helps a lot to keep up the speed while boarding even when the light gets dimmer.

fits my giro helmet well.

if you don't loose it, it will last for a long time. perfect for stashing the kit. unfortunately the molding cannot be taken out, so this limits the possibilities of kits you stash in it.

Mountain Hardwear Downpour Wide Brim Rain Hat - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Downpour Wide Brim Rain Hat - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 12, 2011

tested under 5hrs of continuous rain in the alps - keeps your head dry. and with the wide brim, helps also to keep away some of the rain falling onto the rest of your body.

is sensitive to wind - you should use attachment as soon as wind is coming up.

you look funny with this hat - so use it only when it rains - so instead of laughing at you, ppl will be jealous.

good quality. the zipper for the chest pocket cannot be hidden - and i do not see why there has to be a pocket there anyway.

fabric is ok, dries fast. after two times wearing on longer hikes it does smell also in dried condition.

good quality product - very little weight - although when you hiked up a mountain under the sun and the shirt is soaked the white colour becomes some see trough. because it dries very fast be sure to get to the mountain top first. as soon as the others arrive your shirt will be dry already : )

the olive colour is better than the khaki, with this colour you'll see sweat-stains way much faster.
