Ok, so the way it grabs on to your ears is great but what the discription doesnt tell you is that the cord is 2 pieces and there big connector in the middle which weighs a ton and I have had to take to tapeing to my back so that the head phones dont get ripped off my ears. I would not buy them agin.

Vasque Mantra GTX Hiking Shoe - Men's

These seem like they would be a little to light duity for a long hike like that, espically if you will be carrying a heavy pack. These will just be a little to light duity for a big hike like that, they would make an excellent day hike shoe.

Working for me

Dalbello Sports Krypton Pro I.D. Ski Boot

Dalbello Sports Krypton Pro I.D. Ski Boot

Rating for this product: 4 March 9, 2009

So I have big fat feet, but these fit well everywhere but the for foot but after I had them blown out they fit great, the ID liners are very warm but they like to over-lap in a funny way in the tongh though. They have alot of different adjustments in the canting and foward press, the only one I can say that I like all the time is the soft foot bed insert, the hard one might be nice if you were using this boot in compiotetion but for casual skiing the softer foot bed is much more cofortable.

At the world cup in Deer Valley I also noticed that a lot of of the bumpers were wearing this boot.

Just right for me

Scott P4 Alpine Ski

Scott P4 Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 5 February 27, 2009

These skis ski just like I want a ski to ski, they are are not to wide they have some give to them and the few cm of a false front makes them very easy to ski in powder what ever the angle. They shine when things get steep and speeds get faster they are very satble and have great power transfer.

They come with a stupid sticker, to indicate the spot to mount the buinding, on then ripi that thing off mine was off kilter so I would be suspect of the others. I had mine mounted 1.5cm foward of the cemter of the boot mark on the ski and have been very happy with this set up, it is not to laied back or to far foward.

By the way I am 6'1" 210lbs and I ski the 191cm.

I love these skis, they are great in the powder not to much side cut. They float well and smear well to. I have them mounted with marker Dukes and they make a good backcountry set up. Not to heavy and bulky to use.

So they are heavy, and they are kind sloppy, but what are you a man or a mouse? click these into you high din bindings for that all the confidence you need when you get to the top. These are great for the slack country not the best for extra long distances. If you want you Alpine bindings in the backcountry these are great.
