i'm about the same size and agree with the others - get a medium.

doubtful.

your binding bed and board should add another inch or so. if you're worried about stepping on the backs of your pants, just roll them up.

i wouldn't count on it. there is no insulation in the foursquare fabian jacket. it will protect you from the elements, but won't keep you too warm - layer under it.

the holden patch jacket looks like a shell only. no insulation. you should consider layering underneath.

it doesn't look like there is any insulation in the airblaster freedom jacket. so yes, you should consider a hoody in colder temperatures.

the tech specs say no. have you heard otherwise?

yes, it's a pin.

in the 40s, you can probably get away with just a shell and shirt underneath. this jacket with its insulation might be too much.

i have never seen a headphone work only for the iphone. the skullcandy smokin iphone buds still have the 3.5mm jack so they will work with any mp3 player. i think the distinction skullcandy was trying to make was that these earbuds have an inline mic that you can use to talk into while the earbud is plugged into your iphone, blackberry, droid, etc.

if you are looking for a powder board, consider the burton fish, burton malolo or the rockered rome notch. otherwise, you could go longer with a rockered board if you wanted to, but it isn't necessary. granted it isn't a c2, but the banana 156 btx (i ride a 159 or so normally) handled amazingly well in utah's deepest day of the season last season.

it has magnetraction, so you will get a good bit of bite into icy slopes. on high-speed groomers, i think handles decently, but only because i sized down (156 vs a 159 or so normally). you could always size the same as your cambered board - my guess is that it would ride fine. chris jones is correct, though, traditional camber is better for groomers.

if you spend most of your time outside the park, i would go with the 156. i think you will appreciate the added length/stability in powder, on groomers, etc. at 150 lbs, you should be able to handle it. i am also assuming you are at least an intermediate rider.

regarding snowboard sizing, your weight/strength and your skill level are more important than your height.

the classic hoodlamb jacket is probably as warm as a heavier fleece or hoody. or about 2374 heat units.

the ronin utility jacket is a shell. it will protect you against wind and water. if you want to stay warm, you will definitely need to layer underneath.

wu-tang again? aww yea, again and again!

if it is the same material as the other colors, it's burton's proprietary fabric, dryride. it's 2 layer and 10k so it should keep you dry while riding.

i guess it depends on how you wear your pants. i usually wear a 32 waist, but can definitely fit into a 31 as well. i find a foursquare medium to fit a bit big in the waist, but if you are between a 32 and a 34, you could probably get away with it. how tall are you?
