I bought this jacket for my girlfriend and she loved it. A great sale for only $100, and it looks good too.

I found these binding on sale for $99, and couldn't resist the great deal. I mounted them on a new pair of K2 Seths and am very happy with my new setup.

Well, I have to confess that I haven't gone heli-skiing, and it being the summer I haven't even taken this pack up on the hill yet. But I have been wearing it around to town to break it in and for hiking/biking. It's very comfortable, and it looks good too. I tested out the diagonal ski carry, and was very impressed and already put hydration as well. One complaint; there are almost too many straps, and some are too long. Once the season begins, I'll probably cut a few, and have some others shortened...but overall, I think this pack will bring me years of good use. Thanks again Dakine!

These things fell off my glasses the first day I used them! I was on a rafting trip and they kept coming loose, and then one set of rapids came and they were gone! Ironically, the glasses I was trying to protect stayed on.

They are comfortable, functional, and they look good too. Exactly the kind of quality one would expect from Smith.
