I gave these boots as a gift and they are getting lots-o-use. They are great for the after ski scene - warm and good looking... I think they're good.

This company makes solid products as far as I have seen and used. If you're looking for a substitute to Carhartt, this may work for ya...

This is my second pair and I really like em. The fist pair lasted a strong year of almost everyday use in both wet and dry conditions. I use these as work shoes - so standing, walking, sitting - they're good to go!

I would recommend this jacket to anyone looking for synthetic down. I used it most recently on a trip to AK and it fit the bill – kept me warm at night and not too hot during the spring days. It stuffs well into its own pocket and fits into my pack for bc tours, if needed. I also feel good about wearing it around town.

get it - there's no reason not to... there's plenty of room for extended days tours and its simplicity is wonderful. It fit me well and stayed snug on back for both touring and heli skiing. You beat the added safety...

I have bought these in the past and continue to think they're great. I strongly recommend them as a good all-around short!

I bought these for work and they're turning out to be great. A nice alternative to Carhart and in the same league. In fact, I ended up buying a second pair!

I bought these Garmonts for a work shoe and spend a lot of time on my feet. I have no problems. The traction holds well on wet floors, and the upper breathes well. The only issue is that the sole is peeling away where the toe bends on one shoe - nothing a little shoe goo can't fix, however ...

But the quality is clearly there.

I got these to kick around in and they seem to do the job. They're pretty flashy white right out of the box but it ain’t nothing you can't handle...

I like these for riding (on and off road) and for ski touring. They really can be used in a variety of different scenarios. The changeable lenses are great and easy to do. Good eye protection all the way around.

These pants looked great and are in fact well made (in keeping with the other Arc'teryx gear). However, the pants are really big. So big, in fact, that I have to return them... I got the right waist size, but they're just big.

Tasty and hearty. It says meal replacer on it and it might be true. Like all bars, they're hard as rock when frozen; but that didn't stop me from eating them.

I recommend these and the berry flavors to anyone who uses this type of fuel. They are as good as these bars get

Not too smelly and biodegradable. What else do you want in a bath wipe? Oh ya, they're thick too.

Crampons fit well with not a lot of room to spare. I felt better about putting my crampons in my pack knowing that they were in a pack themselves. Good product.

Good product, it’s easy to inflate and has a little pocket on it which held my iPod nicely. My only complaint was it made my neck a little hot after awhile.

I couldn't really figure out which points were to be covered by which protectors, but that could be operator error. Regardless, I covered the main ones and they stayed covered.

It has all the pieces you need. It's a little extra weight to carry, but it's certainly less than carrying your skis when you can't fix your bindings!

While a little expensive, this is the best touring sock I've seen or used! I used them recently on a 6 day tour and they were great. Not a blister to be found. My advice, however, is that you go a little smaller than you think on the size. They run big and long and too much material in the boot is no good.

This is a little personal when it comes to recommending underware, but these work really well for me. Keeps your junk together and providdes some extra warmth.

I used these in a variety of conditions and they worked well. I do not recommend them for more technical climbs, but the nice thing is you can always flip up to the full lever leaving yourself the choice. I definitely did notice a difference in the lack of resistance when using them.

I like these gloves both in concept and design. They allow me more flexibility than a mitten but provide more warmth than a glove. The removable liner is nice as well. They only problem I have with them (and it's a problem) is that they get wet quickly. I used the leather goo that came with them, but it didn't help that much.

Bomber jacket with all the right stuff. Just wore it in storm and it kept me plenty warm and dry. Pockets in all the right places and the hood fits over a ski helmet. Another great product from this company.

This is my second pair of these ski pants, they're great. They last longer than any other pants I've owned and they are everything you'd expect them to be.

I like my new sidewinder. Plenty of pockets in the right places, bomb-proof, the hood fits over my helmet and it's an overall great ski jacket!

I like this boot. I don't have too much experience with other alpine boots, but this one fit well from the start. It's well built and a legit piece of gear. I'd recommend these boots.

This jacket is cool as is expected from Oakley. It is bigger and more bulky than I thought it would be—it's lined with a "furry" type material. I usually wear a medium and this medium seems like a large. The vintage look of the material is cool and overall it helps me complete my denim tuxedo look very well.

I bought this for self-arrest purposes and so far, so good - haven't had to use it.

This is my first pair of crampons so I don't have anything to compare them to; however, I found them easy to use as they make sense when I looked at them. Well thought out and well built. When I put the ABS on them for spring snow, it was the perfect set-up.

I bought two pair of these shorts and need more. They’re super-comfortable, well-made and cut. Another great product from this company!

I didn't think I'd really need these, but am now thankful I have them. They really do prevent the snow from balling up in the crampon. They took a little time to setup, but it was worth it.

This is a great jacket - versatile and easy. Plus it stuffs into its own pocket and makes for a good pillow. Lightweight and windproof.

I threw this into the pocket of my pack and, fortunately for my feet, haven't had to use it yet. It's small and lightweight and seems to have everything I'll need.

This is my second pair in 6 years so I already had different lenses, but not the ones that came with these frames. So, for a GREAT price, I got a new a lens and a new frames. Thanks Steep and Cheep!

I like these skis and they served me well in the Tahoe "powder" (those quotation marks are for all of you in UT and CO!) They are a little soft in the tips and tails, which is my only concern. Other than that, nice beefy ski - 99mill. under foot - and should prove useful for a good overall ski as they are easy enough to turn over despite the width.

Brake to fit over these wider skis. These work well on the Atomic Sugar Daddy's. The only drawback, if this is even a drawback, is that there are ridges on the plastic covers on the arms and it makes it hard to the skis together. On the other hand, if you're holding your skis, you ain't skiing!

My first pair of tele skis were blk diamond and I thought I'd never try them again, until someone at BC Store recommended I try the Havoc Ski. I am very happy I listened to the advise - it's a lot of solid ski that is responsive and steady. So far, it's held up in the hard pack just as well as its done off-piste in the chowder. However, it's a ski that demands you be on your game, lest you want to be in the back seat all day.

That's pretty much the deal, they are the best. I went with a smaller size and find that I have a little more dexterity. If want the best glove out there, here it is, IMO.

This case is not as user friendly as the others I've seen, but it still does the job! The water proof pouch on the inside keeps everything nice and dry, there are places to strap down your gear, but the overall functionality is a little clumsy - or is that just me...

I bought these for boarding and am now using them for tele and alpining. They are low profile and fit well under my ski pants without too much bulk, which was my fear. The pads are well placed and have provided with enough protection in the first five days of use to justify the purchase - everything here in is just icing on the groomer, I mean cake.

If you're going up a hill, or mountain for that matter. Not much to say here except that they work!

Get a set of sticks! A whole lot of ski with out being too much. I used it in the resort on a big pow. days and on cut-up days and these skis just plow on through anything. In the bc, they served me very well - the wider skin that is needed with these gives more traction and they are great in all sorts of snow from deep powder to ankle deep surface hore. They have changed the way I ski - for the BETTER!

This shirt is a great base layer for a variety of different activities. It's super soft to the touch on the inside and has a good cut to it so that it hangs on me like it should. More importantly, it does its job, which is no surprise seeing as how Arc’Teryx makes it! My only negative comment, and the reason I didn’t give it a ‘5’, is the color. How that affects functionality, however, I have no idea…

The Oakley A wire is an excellent sunglass to wear while driving or hanging at the local watering hole. The A wires are comfortable and very durable.

Ahh, Oakley. I bought these glasses thinking that I'd get a pair for riding and sports in general. What I really got was a great pair of shades that now I wear more than I should! Biking, running, driving, chillin... nice work Oakley!

Can't beat the interchangeable lens. Oakley quality all the way and now it's like I have 3 glasses in 1. I got the G30's which I really, really recommend. I got the clear for riding at night and the ones with which the glasses came. Love it!

Well, since I haven't actually used the new lenses yet, my review can only be partial. But, I think we all know that Oakley makes the goods! I actually had hard time getting the new lenses in the frames. It was so hard that I thought that Oakley may have changed the shape of the frame over the years; but alas, it was only me and after giving it the ole' collegiate try, I worked it out – thanks to the help/support of the Gear Guru at BCStore.com! Thanks! (I don't get paid to say this stuff – it’s actually true...)

These skins did just what they were supposed to do. I had a little trouble with the clip on the end, but it could have very well been me! No problem with the glue over the course of several days in the BC and they stuck to the trail no problem. Cutting them to fit took some time but no big deal - if you want the custom fit it's gonna take some time. I'd definitely recommend these.

I have just found my new all-around jacket. I wore it in the back country of WY and stayed warm and dry. I wore it this past weekend at Alpine Meadows in 45-50 weather and I loved it. It is functional and simple and is a great jacket. Generally, everything I have from this Arcteryx is really, really good.

If you are asking me if you should get this binding, then yes. If you are asking me if I like it, then yes. If you want to know if it if functional, works well and holds-up overall, then yes. Use this binding!

These booties did what they should - kept my feet nice and warm. I wore them in the backcountry and they were a real treat to put on after the day. They're light and pack down to nothing. Now if only they'd make them for the office I'd be set... For real, they're really good.

Well, if I could remember to blow the water out of the tube every time I took a sip then I think the Thermal Kit would have worked well. For that matter, if I remembered to blow the water everytime I wouldn't have needed the Thermal Kit. The tube froze so I am not sure to what temp. this thing is rated. Maybe they should have a little chart that shows the water going from liquid to ice and where the kit stops working?

I like these goggles. I bought them a while ago and for the most part have only used one lens. Actually, it's been a couple of years and the foam around the edges is still on there! I have only had a couple of fog problems (hiking up switch backs and too lazy to take them off) but otherwise they've been great. Oakley makes good eyewear in my opinion and the A Frame is no exception

What a grat ski! I am on my second season with the same skis and they are still full of life. When I look at some of the other new skis out there they look a little skinny, but still, they serve me well both in and out of bounds. Know the one, get the ski!
