the main reason why i love this pack is that i use it as a diaper bag for my little girl. which is kind of a drag because i want to use it for so much more. this bag has so many nooks and crannies that i can stash whatever i need, ipod, cellie, huggies, extra clothes... and i dont look like a super doofus carrying around a pink bag filled with burp cloths. if my wife would let me... i'd ride with this baby too..

I have a heat problem. When I dress for cold weather I always push up my sleeves because my arms get too hot. This vest is the answer to all my problems. Good warmth with no overheating. It looks good too, I wear it to the office and don't look like a grom swimming in a snowboarding jacket. Although it falls under the 'puffy jacket' label, it is not bulky or cumbersome. Oh yah, the pockets are comfy too.

I own the nuptse vest, but my wife wanted the full blown version. She always wanted one for the style so I bought her one. She is always cold, no matter how many layers she wears she always is complaining about being cold. Until this jacket came in the mail. She told me that this jacket is officially the first jacket that she has ever worn that she gets TOO hot in. Amazing, 11 years of her griping about the thermostat and all I had to do was buy this jacket. You ask my wife? She says this jacket is so good. You ask me? I say my ears are no longer ringing.

I'm rocking a 155 with rome targas and I must say that it is a major step from my 2002 151 phoenix with mikey leblancs... the mtx cuts through the cords, the tail pops of the kickers and the elongated sidecut is superfast. only rode a couple times this year, and the only problem i had was the edges need a little detune job. otherwise im looking forward to a great long-term relationship with my new dark.

These bindings are sick. They have all the right materials in all the right places. Composite baseplate with damping heel inserts. Metal rails and heelcup transfer superfast. And the little things matter too, the easy entry flaps that hold the ankle strap open make entry easy and fast. Some of the colors are ugly as hell (looks like a first grader colored them), but I guess thats the way things are going these days. Ride em.
