Seriously AMAZING jacket... Great value for $. (The SAME one is for sale at a local board shop for over TWICE what I paid for it online.) Anyways, technically, it's great. Most women's jackets are very short (which I hate). This one is much longer, but doesn't restrict your movement. It also adds enough warmth without being stuffy, and repels water well (as a beginner, I spend a lot of time on my butt in the snow). Lots of pocket and storage space, and pit-zips in case you overheat! :)

Just learning to snowboard, so I might not be the best judge of equipment yet... BUT, so far these mitts have been great. I spend a lot of time with my hands in the snow (pushing myself up), and after a couple of runs, they're pretty wet on the outside, but still dry inside. I also haven't worn the liners inside of them yet, because I find they feel a bit bulky with both layers, but can shove them in my pockets on really cold days, just in case. :)

I guess that picking goggles without trying them on first could be a bad idea, but in this case, it worked out. They fit perfectly with my helmet (don't leave a gap). They also usually stay fog-free, but even when there is some condensation trapped inside, they clear up pretty quickly once you start riding or go inside for a bit...
