so i was super surprised when i got these and found out they have a fleece lining! they are sooo warm i can hardly call them a pipe glove and i will wear these until they fall apart! went riding in 30 degree weather (utah) today and they were perfect! after the first run my hands were actually a little hot. lastly i think they run a little small.... i got the teal color in an XL and they JUST fit! thats weird.... cause i usually have smaller hands.... hmmmmm. bottom line: BIGGEST bang for buck on gloves out there!

these fit great and are super comfy thanks to the two way hinges at the temples. they are total eye candy :D they also happen to be perfect for when the snow is really bright but the sun isnt and you need protection from the bright white but cant stand amber lenses.

I have these bindings paired with the 2012 flying V feelgood. If you are looking at getting new EST bindings to go with your new burton board this is a great pair and it WILL change how your board feels in a GOOD way. I live next to a resort so i beat my stuff up from riding a lot and these are fantastic all around bindings for crusin' riding pow or the park. i got the black but FYI ALL THE GRAPHICS ON THE BLACK BINDINGS ARE ACTUALLY GOLD!!!! lucky for me this don't honey badger don't give a sh*t :)

WOW what a great board! the flying v tech behind it makes it super playful and perfect for intermediate riders looking to learn how to really ride with your whole body and for advanced riders that want the freedom to go wherever they want and have a board that really can do it all even some of those tricks in the park they KNOW they are to old for. I have seen a lot of reviews by other girls saying that this board is great for park and nothing else.... well its not a park board it really is an all mountain board. My riding partner (my hubby) is a former pro GS/BX racer and got the sherlock flying V and rips it up with that thing everywhere BUT in the park. This board may take a run or two to get used to but once you figure it out its just plain playful and snappy and don't EVER worry about catching an edge on cat tracks or when landing. The biggest thing i think this board will teach someone is to keep your nose pointed down hill and to be ok with the speeds you are going to be reaching on this thing :D It does NOT like it when you feel like you need to speed check constantly (skips and throws you on your butt). I got to ride it in about a foot of fresh yesterday at my home mountains and wow does this thing ever float! OK, so bottom line: NOT for beginners, great all mountain board, super lively and poppy, OH and one more thing i have the 155 and this thing is blue fading to bright pink not anything like the "purple" color in the pic... i like it better in person its a super attractive board! I also paired it with the Burton Scribe EST Snowboard Binding for a super chill playful feel (completely different from my trad. camber Arbor Koa Element with stiff bindings) and they are a great match! I have not ridden this board without the EST bindings so i cannot comment no how it feels with other or older bindings but i did notice an amazing closeness with the board thanks to them.

so basically put this under a shell with a base layer or (as i prefer) a t-shirt and you are good to go! super flattering fit and colors! i got the XL Blue Shroom and it is for sure purple-ish..... to be specific lets call it periwinkle :) bottom lin: by it it will keep you warm and make you look good.

LOVE this shell/jacket. i paired it with an AK Guide fleece and was super warm in the light snow here in utah yesterday . i got it in an XL (i have big shoulders) in the moss color which is a little grayer then the pic shows. super flattering and comfy with great features! the feel and looks of the "waxed" outer is super cool and has immediate character. i ride 3 to 6 day a week all season and this is my FAVE jacket now (over my patagonia and burton skylar gore-tex). another great burton product :)

ok so i wear a size 8/10 in levis jeans and the XL ALMOST doesn't fit. the waist and hip on these are HUGE like a size 14 but the thighs are barely big enough for me to be able to move like i need to with a base layer under. my solution was wear a belt and don't worry about how funky the waist area looks cause no one is ever gonna see it. i wore them out yesterday for the first time with my Burton Credence jacket and AK Guide fleece and was i ever a happy girl! I ran around the mountain for a couple hours and i got stared at/complimented the entire time. They worked great and kept me warm. Bottom line, these pants look great but fit weird if you dont have stick legs. they are super long on me (im 5'8) and the risque color is great.... maybe a little more "brickish" then in the picture.

This watch is super durable and the most comfortable watch you could ever ask for. The band feels more like silk then nylon.... instant break-in so it doesn't sit funny after you adjust it or for the first week or so. i have worn this in the shower, washing my dogs, hiking through the Wasatch mountains, and lots and lots of snowboarding. Low temps are not a problem (it was -8 here this morning!!) and again i have to say this is a great looking/fitting/functioning watch! (i have the black/neon color way) plan to be on the bike or SUP all summer so i'll post an update.

this is my um...... i think 3rd "bullet tool" (we like to call it the magic bullet). this thing has saved my ass more time then i can count! what a great tool! the awesome ratcheting and leverage you get from it keeps my former bike mechanic/board tuner hubby happy in a small size and for a small price! the only reason i have ever had to buy a new one was either because TSA decided i could take apart an airplane with it and took all the bits or because i just lost the bits. So basically dont ever try to check this thing on an airplane and it'll last you a lifetime!

So whats not to like about these boots? The color is exactly what you see in the pic (i got the blue/gold/black), the liners are so comfy, and it is a super warm boot. Its ultra low profile makes your feet look a normal size to :) Right now i have a pair of DC judge boa boots also. these 32's are super soft and perfect for park riding and all around crusin' if thats what your into.... my judges (mens boots) are way more appropriate for riding ultra fast or extra support in some crazy deep pow (thanks j. hole). these boots are way softer then the scale says (5 out of 1-10) i would say more like a 3 or 2.... and they take a different ride but it is so worth it for comfort and warmth!!! i would recommend if you are in-between sizes to go up, these boots feel a little on the small size (like a half size) and I'm sure that will change when they pack out more. i'll post with an update on durability in a month after i have a couple more weeks on them. ***UPDATE*** i have put 30 or so days on these suckers since i reviewed them and i have got to say they hold up great and are like slippers and super easy to get around in but they are ultra soft boots. the laces do break quick and i am almost through the back pair they came with but thats the biggest complaint i have!

The camo is NOT grayish but WAY more "army drab" green. So luckily i have decided that i like pink too...... because the "red" parts of the camo print color way is fluorescent pink.... not even watermelon or something pinkish-redish but straight up blaring barbie pink. Im psyched because its the first time people are going to actually think I'm a girl on the mountain lol! haven't used it yet but i will be going tomorrow and at least 5 days a week for the rest of the season so i will post an "endurance" up date on it. oh also i got an XL, i have huge shoulders and wear a size 10 and this thing is BAGGY. lucky for me i like it like that...
01/03/12 **UPDATE**
ran off to jackson hole for the weekend to chase a storm with this coat... wow did it ever perform! i stood in the lift line and wired for 1.5 hours for the lift to open (so much snow they had to open way late due to blasting). EVERYONE around me was complaining about how cold they were but i was almost hot! this coat is super warm, i had it paired with a bandanna, t-shirt and merino base layer! it was also super windy and i couldn't feel a thing. TOTALLY worth the money... upgrading to a 5 star rating :) YAY GORE_TEX!!

finally a spherical goggle that fits with a bern visor helmet! i have the women's bern muse audio helmet and i swear these were made for it. something other then the scott I O/S goggles have come along and brought great fit, WAY better styling and a slightly smaller size! i have tried the smith I O/S goggles and these are way better.... the amount you can see peripherally is just AWESOME. phenomenal clarity and depth perception EVEN when in flat light flying over some rollers and kickers. snap them up before they are all gone!

these fit great, look great and work great..... unless its under 10. i have used these for about a month straight (5+ days a week on the mountain) and they have been great for resort riding in 10 to 45 degree weather BUT they get really warm if its over 35 and they are nowhere NEAR the protection needed for backcountry or anything under the 10/15 mark. on the plus side i almost never have to take them off because how articulated and thin they are... i would call them a bit of a glorified leather pipe glove.... and they look like that to. i am a girl and have pretty normal sized hands and i got the medium and they fit great. great buy for someone who won't have their hands in the snow a lot or is a skier.

WHAT A GREAT PRODUCT!!!! I ride and live in Park City Utah and i have had 23 days on this helmet in the past month. The winter has been crazy this year so i have ridden in everything from -5 to 45 and this thing is great! its a little on the hot side for spring use but it doesnt bother me. Its super cute and the visor fits PERFECTLY with my Electric EG 2.5 goggles. The larger goggles (electric EG 2, Von Zipper Fishbowls, POC's, etc...) do NOT fit with this helmet if you have a small or even medium face but my 2.5's are just as good. I can't say how flattering this thing is (NO BUBBLE HEAD!!!) and i don't ever want a different one. The audio is great (LOUD) and thanks to the volume control on the cord you can LOCK you iPod but still adjust the volume without getting in your coat and taking off your gloves!!!! BUY IT you will love it :) ps, i sized up because i have dreads.... if you have thick hair you might want to do the same but still do the head shake test.

I live and ride in Park City Utah. Spend a good amount of time on the mountain 5 days a week, sometimes more. I hate wearing lots of layers so i always go for insulated everything. I like a baggier fit so i can move around and be comfortable. Needless to say i was extremely happy when i found these, all the 686 stuff i have bought in the past has been very well made and fit true to the size chart (or maybe a little bigger). I am 5'8, 175, and a size 10. I am very muscular so i usually buy guys pants/jackets/boots/boards/bindings but was really happy when i got these and tried them on! i wear a size 10 in levi's jeans (a little on the looser side). I got these in the black (nicely textured and a true matte black and a great had to the fabric) in the XL and they can NOT be worn without a belt they are so big. This past weekend i went to put them on and realized the crotch had ripped! I have put about 20 days on them (all this year) and was really hoping they would hold up better! also the elastic on the gaiter cuff has ripped on one of the legs. Basically these are great pants if you are a christmas/spring break rider but NOT if you are a 100+ day rider like the description states :( still a well fitting, good looking, and functioning product just not made for serious abuse. back to man pants for me!
