This jacket is so good to have. It is great for the winter for anything. It can handle light rain or snow without getting too wet. It still keeps you warm when wet. The really nice thing is it is not too hot while keeping you at a perfect temp. It also has a really great design and look so it works for function and as just a warm casual jacket.

Anytime the snow is soft take this puppy out for a good time. Picking these up before the big storms of January 08 this season was the best buy I have made since a car to get me up to Snowbird. When it comes to the powder, they obviously drop it like its hot. But the best part of these skis is when the powder is chopped up they make it feel like untracked pow. With all the rush at rope drops you can sit back and be ready for the goods all day long. The narrower tip up front versus the huge front of a ski like the Pontoon allows you to slice through the chop without it wanting to slap against anything in front of you. The construction of the ski is super playful and you have options to porpoise in and out of the snow or stay buried in your turns. Throwin' them on your shoulder to go up to Wolverine Cirque is not the lightest thing ever but anytime you are ready for slarvin' up the Cirque these are the ski you want.

This thing is superb. It does not allow any water in and breathes really well. The pockets and powder skirt are all well designed. The hood is nice and large for helmets and still adjusts down to whatever size you need. The sidewinder is cool, but if it is unzipped and you get a high wind it can slap you pretty hard in the face so beware. When it comes to a great versatile shell for anything you need from Wasatch powder skiing to Seattle rains this thing takes care of you.

This jacket achieves all the warmth and more of a traditional down jacket without all the bulk. It has great breath ability and holds up well for beading water off in light rain/heavy fog. Style and function make this a great jacket. The fit is not as boxy as some of the other North Face jackets and has a fitted cut to it but fits true to size.

I set these up with Naxo NX21's for my touring setup. They for sure get the job done and provide a nice ski for the ride down. Overall though I would probably go for a dynafit on a lighter ski like the hollow glass Head 95's. The skis themselves have a nice design but are not gonna have that solid feel in a turn like a wood core. The base is a bit brittle, mine tore out a good chunk without a normal style of ding, it was more jagged so that is a bit crummy. Overall a pretty good ski, but I would probably not buy something like it again.

Lots of the pros rely on this one and so I hopped on board and have been very satisfied. Listening to guys like Jim Conway talk about their preference of this beacon over others convinced me to buy this one and I have been very satisfied and assured with it out in the backcountry. It gives a very accurate signal for searches and hopefully nobody will ever need to find mine outside of a drill.

This pack is a really good size for a day out in the BC. Fits everything you need, has a-frame or diagonal carry for skis, and the safer than sorry Avalung which is actually better to have on the pack than solo. All in all a really good pack in design and quality.

The Iron is great and includes 3 waxes for all temps. Has a nice scraper and a nice nylon brush. all is nice

I have a medium/large face and these fit very well. The Persimmon lens works great in a variety of lights and works surprisingly well in low light.

These work great. Super solid grip and easy on and off. The lighter versions are nice too but these work great.

This tent is a monster! For a base camp or car camping tent this thing is great. It is easy to set up, especially if you have at least a portion of the people who could fit in this thing helping to set it up. You could probably host the World Series of Poker inside the PAV 6. We fit two queen size air mattress' inside the tent without any problem and could probably have 4 or 5 in there without touching the sides. My friend is about 6'7" or so and he can stand inside without ducking at all. Overall, heavy as... but more room than your bedroom at home
