Norrøna Stranda Jacket - Men's
September 9, 2009
you know what instantly strikes me as nice about this jacket? the fact that it DOESN"T have 37 pockets like my Spyder jacket does. If i need to carry a bunch of stuff I'll wear my pack...all i need it two handwarmers, one chest and maybe one interior, and I'll rarely use them.
How's the fit? I'm 6-1, 190. My biggest problem with jackets is usually sleeves not long enough and way too much room in the waist.

Black Diamond Push Telemark Ski Boot - Men's
July 9, 2009
question about size...I typically wear a size 10 but sometimes 10.5 depending on manufacturer. I have a brand new pair of SeeThe 27.5s feel like the right length, but maybe just a tiny bit short. But they are killing the tops of my feet. should i get the Push in the 28 instead? BC.com doesn't have many boots at all in 27.5 in stock

Volkl Mantra Alpine Ski
November 10, 2008
I'm 6-1, 185. Fairly aggressive skier that prefers Powder but also likes to open it up on groomers when there's no fresh. I ski the Gotama 183 and I love it, but sometimes I feel like i could use a bit more length when I point it and get up to higher speeds. You think I should go all the way up to 191 with these? I went into my local shop and they said they don't even stock that length.
