I really like these shoes. They fit comfortably and allow me to effectively transfer power to the pedals. I like that the cleats are flush with the bottom of the shoe. The velcro closure covers the laces well so they don't get caught in your crank, and definitely keeps dirt out. They get in the way a little bit when you're lacing them up, but it's not a big deal. I especially like the mid-top design of these shoes, I don't experience heel slip in them as much as you would in a low-top design, and they are much more supportive.

I normally wear a size 10 shoe, so I bought a 43. They were way too small so I moved up to a 44 and they fit much better. I have a tiny big of wiggle room but it doesn't take from the support. I noticed that the sizing of Shimano is a bit different than other brands, the box says Euro 44, US 9.7, 27.8 CM. Traditionally 44 is the same as 11, and 43 is the same as 10, so watch out for that. If you're going to order these shoes, I recommend getting two different sizes to start, or get a Guru to tell you the US size and length labeled on the box, as there is currently no size chart.

I love my Sanuks. They are the perfect shoe when I feel like having the comfort of flip-flops or slippers and cannot decide. These are always a go-to shoe and you can't go wrong with these.

These are great socks. Even though they are a no show, they still fit with my backpacking boots. The merino is very nice because it adds a little extra cushion to your feet. This is the first time I have ever seen socks that are not only left/right specific, but are also labeled R and L. I haven't worn the the wrong side on the wrong foot yet, but be careful when you're stumbling around half awake in the dark. I'm sure it wouldn't be the end of the world though.

These shoes are great. They are a low-top tennis/running/skate shoe, but I mostly use them for street wear. They fit great, are very breathable, and never apply unwanted pressure to my feet. There is a slight arch support that travels all the way across your foot. At first I didn't like it but now that I'm used to it I find it very comfortable. If this isn't for you, it's only in the insole which can easily be traded out.

This stuff is great for backpacking. They are light weight and easy to prepare for the amount of food they have. They say they are two servings, but I'm a lean guy and can easily scarf one down by myself, especially on a trip when I'm hiking long distances.

Nice little water bottle. I like that the cap covers the mouth piece.

I got these because I was really excited about having the built in wrist supports, and they work nicely for the most part. After a while they begin to hurt (especially when you're going down a lot) and I find myself loosening them half way through the day.

The wrist supports make it a little more difficult to take these gloves off and put them on. This caused my gloves to tear on the inside from my hands pulling on the fabric. They still work fine, but it seems like Burton makes these with the intention of being replaced.

The clear lens works great for night riding. No more catching invisible edges!

I expected more out of a pair of running shoes. These shoes have almost no arch support, and they have a thin toe box. I did however like that they cradle the heal nicely.

I really liked the Dark vintage color of these, but for a straight pant they felt really slim at the bottom. Also the inseam is declared at 32 in, however they ran well past my heels and I normally wear a 32 in. Good jeans for some, bad for others.

I love these goggles. They fit my face and my helmet well, and do a good job of keeping out the sun and the snow.

This helmet is very purposefully designed. The Boa adjustment is very easy to use and can be righty-tighty or lefty-tighty (for you left-handed folk). The vents are easy to close with gloves on when you get a burst of arctic wind on the lift, and I love the option to throw in audio system that you can get separately.

These pants are a sweet gore-tex shell. They keep out the water and the wind, and keep you plenty warm if you layer underneath.

I got these for my wife and they keep her hands nice and toasty. She's always complaining about cold hands, and these hybrid-gloves really help so she doesn't have to tell me that so often. She mostly uses them on cold mornings in the car.
