This is a great jacket. I am a solid medium and the medium fits me perfectly. I with the sleeves were a little longer, but I guess the sleeves are made to have gloves go outside and not inside the sleeve. There are really long hand gaiters to keep snow from coming up. The powder skirt sits higher up on the waist, but I snowboard so my snowboard pants sit a little lower than technical ski pants. overall the jacket is great and the insulation keeps me nice and warm. The vents on the sides do not have mesh or anything to keep things out. the color is fantastic I have the blue atoll color. The close up photos show the color true. Magenta zippers and a very pretty bright light blue for the jacket color.

This jacket is awesome! I have it in a medium and it fits me perfectly. Everyone loves the baffling on it. The only downside to the baffling is it is welded and so where the baffling is there is no insulation. I was in jacksonhole and wearing is casually and I had a t-shirt under it and my arms got a tad cold where the baffling is. I just wear a long sleeve under it now and it is a great. Keeps me super warm. The fabric is not stiff, it is very soft and movable. So cute and awesome. you will love it! Check out photos of it on my blog http://gear-review.blogspot.com/

The fit on these is a little on the large side. In most brands if I get medium it is perfect in the waist, sometimes a tad bit snug, but the length NEVER fits me. I am 5'8" and about 135lbs. I have long legs and I went with medium in these rocker pants and they fit me PERFECT! I could not have asked for a more perfect fit. I am in between medium and large, normally go to large to get length and wear a belt. I will not need to wear a belt with these and the length could not be more perfect. no high waters an no massively dragging pants. They have polyfill insulation and that is awesome to help on cold days. The fabric moves well. Overall satisfied.

Tight in the shoulders. The matix hoodies have always bit a little snug in the shoulders and arm pit area. This one is a little more snug that previous ashers I have gotten. The waist feels a little more snug also. I am a typical medium. I am not sure if a large would be too big, but it would be a little more comfortable, less constraining feeling. Love the colors though on this.

I demoed this board last winter and it was a powder day at snow basin. I was really skeptical about having a twim tip 148 CM on my feet that was not banana technology. But it actually was really fun in the powder and handled really well. Quite poppy and responsive. It was fun on whoops and whomps and did good on groomers as well. Overall I was impressed with this board. I would like to have it in my quiver if I could afford more boards this year. I wish they would have worked harder on the design. I have the hoody that has that design on it from last season and it was a guys hoody. Come on DC...Give the girls stuff some credit by spending time to make a female graphic. I do like the shoe lace look. I am all about women's boards getting the same treatment as mens!

I loved the forum craft a lot and this is similar but softer than the Forum craft. I agree with the other reviews, you can size down on this. It was very fun, spinned and buttered great. It did feel a little wobbly at high speeds, but hey that happens when you size down and have less dampening. So it is a true park board. You won't regret getting it. The graphics and colors are rad as well.

I love this board for Park riding and some groomer cruising. I rode it on a deep pow day in utah, forgot my other board in salt lake and only had this or my 143cm k2 va va voom. So I chose this. It was not super great in the powder like other claim. Maybe if I have a size up from my 148. Being a twin tip it did not rocker back enough in the powder. But as far as park and pipe riding this is really fun. Had lots of fun days in the pipe with this baby. I wear size 6 1/2 boots and this narrow board was so responsive for my small feet and bindings. You will NOT regret getting this board AT ALL.

Ok T1's...let me tell you about T1's I still have my first T1 from 4 seasons ago. It still has camber in it when I lay it flat on the ground. I used it for 2 full seasons and throw it on every now and again. It has now moved to me early season board. What I love about this board is it is the same as the men's Just offered in a few smaller cm lengths and with a female driven graphic. Girls can shred just as hard as the boys. It is a bit stiffer than some noodly jib sticks out there. I am not a huge huge fan of super soft boards. They loose their verstaility for all mountain. This is fun and you will enjoy it anywhere on the mt. Won't get the speed whobbles like the noodle park boards. It does decent in powder, but hey...any park twin tip will only do so well unless it is banana technology or rocker.

The color teal/zebra is not as sky blue as the burton website shows and is even a bit darker than this site shows. It is a darker green/blue - teal color. The heal strap this yaer has a bubble padding as opposed to squishy padding. We will see how the bubbles hold up this season. The material the air bubbles are held in seems durable. The hea straps and toe straps are easier to adjust length on this year as opposed to last years. I have a year over year comparision on burton escapades over the past 3 years on my blog.

The problem I always have in snowboard pants is the length. Mediums fit me in the waist but are normally just a little too short for stylish comfort. I have the same problem with these DC pants. Size up if you run into them fitting in the waist but not in length. If you don't have that problem, then they fit true to size.

This jacket is awesome on fit. I tried this on in a medium and it was perfect. I always wear medium in coats and shirts. So warm and it felt like I had a soft fluffy sleeping bag on...but sure did NOT feel like the michelin man. If you are thinking of getting this...get it!

Eminence BTX Snowboard is really poppy. I have yet to ride it yet, but right out of the bag, putting it on the ground, It is so much poppier than my skate banana felt right out of the bag. Super stoked to try it out. I love magne traction and banana technology! So amazing. This board is not as soft as my skate banana, but that is why I got it. to have a little stiffer board and a softer board. I will write more once I have tested this mofo out on the snow. I have high hopes for it!

Fits true to the original denali jacket sizing. I would get a medium and that is what I wear in all jackets and shirts. If you are on the cusp of small to medium co with small. These tend to run a tad on the larger side. Just be weary if you go small the sleeves are shorter. The pink, blue and purple colors are really really bright and crazy. So if you are a bold person you will love this jacket.

The fit on these is great. Medium fit is dead on. I wear medium in all shirts and jackets and the medium in this fits me great. I got to help on the sizing of this piece and it is really dialed. Great fabric feel and the color is a very pretty lavender. flap on the back side of the zipper top so your chin does not get all chaffed.

I own and shred on the Libtech narrow width skate banana and so I had previous experience on a banana technology board. This board was tons of fun. It is a stiffer than my skate banana, but that is a really soft board. This board was really fun, poppy and butters like nobody's business. Magnetraction just rocks and really helps the banana technology work at it's absolute best. I took this in fluffs of left over powder and it handled well, even in the crude created by the tracked out fluff. overall this is a great board. It will slay it in the park, groomers, band slaloms, POWDER and anything you can imagine on snow. the biggest thing on skate bananas to get used to is when you are skating with one foot strapped in and the other out. it pivots from the center of the board and so it takes a little bit of time to get used to how to control the pivoting. You will never know how you lived live with out this board or any banana technology board once you strap into it!

This board is awesome. I have previously had the Nitro Nyx and there were times I thought it was just too still. This is basically a softer version of the Nyx. Nitro heard women saying the Nyx was stiff and made us this board. This board is really fun, poppy and responsive. Does great booking down the mt or in the park. I rode this board at the very end of last season and did not end up on any rails, but jumped with it and it was poppy off the lips. Fun on side hips and goofing around on the fun jumps and whoops on the side of groomed runs. I took this out kiteboarding one day also and it was fun to kiteboard with. comfortable to lean back into the heal edge and cruise. This is a great board and it will not disappoint.
