I found this hat to fit normal for a trucker. What drew me to it was the Factory Pilot and the fact it was adjustable. Even with a large head, this hat will fit most.

If you looking for a classic camber board that does it all, the Agent is great. I would describe the flex as more of a stable jump/ all mountain flex that softens a little bit over time. I personally have loved these boards when they get slightly softer, as at that point you can press them etc. Overall, if you looking for a board with loads of pop and a camber profile, this is one of the best out there.

I loved the Icon 1s and I love the Icon 2s. If you want something that sounds ok, is super light, and might even fit under your helmet, these are the ones. The remote comes in handy too, depending what you have it hooked up to.

I like these a lot. They have a medium length at 21" long and a little bit of stretch, for mobility. The supposed "6 way stretch" in these is not going to be super stretchy, like you might be imagining. It is just a little bit, such that they are not static.

I like this shirt a lot. Fits pretty true to size. I am 5'11" 155lbs and went with a large.

The Stefan Janoski pro model shoe has been a classic from Nike SB for a few years now. Fit wise, I would say they are true to size in length, but narrow in width. I went with my normal size, and the width broke in over time.

In terms of color, the RED Oxide looks true to the image above. It is more of a magenta red than a burgundy.

I own a few different 5 panel hats from different brands. I found this hat to be deeper than most. For me, a person with a larger head, this was a major plus, as many 5 panels are not deep enough for me. Otherwise, the material and build are great on the hat. Colors and true to the images. The clasp on the back is pretty burly, as well.

These pants are incredibly soft. Very nice feel. I would say they are a slim but not super slim fit. In addition, the waist runs normal. I normally wear a 32 and went 32 in this too.

I bought these as a gift for the girl friend. They have a stylish narrow silhouette. Fit wise, she found them true to size with Vans etc.

My grandpa used to have a hat like this and here they come, full circle. Overall, I like this hat a lot. The fabric is soft. A few notes on this hat would be the following:

1) The snap back is capable of fitting larger heads than normal. I have a large head and am usaully on the last or second to last snap. On this I have 4.
2) This has a medium depth, so if you have a larger head, this will sit above your ears, on your head.

Overall, I like this hat a lot. Her are a couple notes on it:

1) The cotton twill is on the heavier / not stretchy side
2) I would say it has a medium depth, great for small the medium heads

I love the chukka. After on and off skating for over 10 years, this is my favorite shoe all time. I've had at least 6-7 pairs of them. The grip / feel is unmatchable imo. The side panels will rip early (the canvas part), but there is a more durable material behind it, so they'll keep skating great for a while afterward. I usually burn through the soles before I completely tear through anywhere else. Size wise, I wear 9.5 in all vans vulks, including these

Ricta dual cores are awesome performance wise. You get the grip of a softer wheel with the speed of a harder wheel. I have flat spotted these before, which can be a bummer, but it is what it is. Overall I'll keeping skating these over other wheels.

I like these a lot. The 4 way stretch allows great freedom of movement. In addition, they seem to fit true to size. Good option if you want the cut off jean look, but also want performance. I will post a picture of the length, as well.

I bought this for my girlfriend and she loves it. Overall, it seems to have great functionality mixed with a solid look. Durability has been decent too.

At the rating of Abec 7, these are plenty fast. In addition they seem to be decently durable. If they do wear out, enjoi is nice, in that they have provided 2 extra replacement bearings.

After skating dual core Rictas, I think it would be hard to skate anything else. They are faster than normal wheels, while still having the grip of a lower durometer.

If you want slip-ons, consider Vans to be your go to. I do notice that when I first get these, they are stiff and difficult to get into. After they break in, they turn to butter and are easy to get in and out of. Size wise, I wear a 9.5 in other vans and got a 9.5 in these too. True to size.

I have this in the Henshaw colorway. I like the print a lot. Fit wise, the front crown seems a little tall on this hat, but some people might dig that. Otherwise, it is what you would expect from a snap back hat.

I love this belt. I hate when belts feel like plastic. i also hate when they feel like they will break easy. This belt is opposite of what I hate. It is buttery smooth, high end, flexible leather. Size wise, I went with a s/m. I am normally a size 32 jean and I am on the 3rd hole in on the belt. I would say it maxes at 34.

Shaun White did it right, when designing this frame (his signature). If you are interested in Frogskins, but want a more squared out modern look, these are it. This is probably my favorite modern Oakley frame. Good fit for people with larger heads too, as I know from personal experience.

The Holbrook is a great crossover between retro and current style shades. This special edition steps in up a notch with some crazy colors and a special cleaning bag. Fit wise, I have a larger head and these fit great.

If you are looking for a more wild colorway in the Frogskins, then this one is great. The Black Iridium lens has a good mirror to it. It also comes with a unique cleaning bag, which matches the colorway. With these you get all the great specs of a Frogskin (retro fit, removable arms etc) and a little bit of wild.

This shirt features a solid, medium weight, oxford fabric. The fit has good freedom of movement and is NOT a short and fat, which is great. It is classic. I am 5'10", 160 and a L fits me great.

Skate hardware is skate hardware for the most part. What I like about these is that they are allen wrench, instead of Phillips head. I often find that overtime my Phillips would always strip. This is a solution to that problem.

I had this jacket last year and this new version is great. I went with the black version, which I found to look more like a really dark charcoal in person. Not a true black. That said, I like the color a lot. If you want a slim fitting, moderately insulated jacket with loads of pockets and vintage style, this is it.

Size wise, I am 5'11", 160. I went with a L. I feel that I could have gone M, but I like my jackets slightly big rather than slightly small. Too bad Airblaster doesn't still make the size Extra Medium...

I've been riding 390s since the first year they came out. When the Boss came out last year, Rome upped the ante to an even higher level. If you like loads of adjust ability, comfort, and bindings that don't quit, these are them. If parts ever break, Rome is quick to hook you up, as well.

In terms of size, I would go S/M in a size 9.5 and smaller boot. The only brand that is an exception to this rule would be 32, where I would go s/m for 9 and down. If you are rocking a slim profile boot, such as the Salomon F series, or DC parks, I've had 10s in the S/M. Hope that wasn't confusing. I like to point this out because although it says you can put a 9 in L/XL, I would say it is far from ideal.

These boots are super unique. The inner liner stops above the ankle, allowing the feel of a mid top skate shoe. This also allows the boot to be super slim in girth. This means less toe drag and you can fit in smaller bindings.

I found that these fit about 1/2 smaller than a Burton. I normally wear a 9.5 in Burton, but I wear a 10 in these.

Flexwise, I would say these are more like a 4/10, with 10 being the stiffest.

If you are looking for a longer fitting, yet still slim hoody, with a front packet, this is the one. I often buy hoodys in XL, for the length, but this in large was plenty long. I am 5'11", for reference

Capita has one of the best teams in snowboarding. From big man stunts from Dan Brisse to the ever creative Scott Stevens, this video was quite enjoyable. If you're looking for something to get you pumped to ride, this is it. Director Mark Danger put together a video that truly defends awesome. Plus its $10 bucks less than the competition!

I rode this board a bunch this summer up on Mt Hood and its loads of fun. It rode soft, but had a lot of liveliness, as well. The rocker on this board takes place outside of the bindings, allowing the middle platform of the board to freeride well. Overall, I would highly recommend this board to anyone looking for a softer board, mostly for jibbing and creative park lines. If you are hitting jumps over 40', you'll probably want something a little stiffer. I loved this board!

I have these in the distressed charcoal and love them. I would describe them as if Vans took Authentics, lowered them to the ground (thinner vulc), put an easy dry foot bed in them, removed all extra support, and made them slightly more narrow in the toe. In a lot of ways, it seems like Vans style, with the guts of a Sanuk or something like that. These would be great for a shoe that can get wet and dry quickly. A lot of Van's surfers are behind them, for that reason

Anyway, I wear 9.5 in authentics, chukkas etc and I got the same size in these. Worked out great.

These headband is great. It is stratchy ad keep your hair in place. The only thing that surprised me is that it was not as tall as I thought it would be. It is around 3/4" tall.

I found these gloves to fit very large. They would be ideal for someone that normally wears a size L to XL mens glove. I am normally a M - L, which left these fitting a little too big.

Otherwise, this glove is a nice city glove, warm and simple

This beanie is amazing. It fits great. My favorite detail is that is made from super soft wool. I find Acrylic beanies often irritate my scalp, which is what lead me to this beanie. This beanie is all natural!

Size wise, I have this in 2 colors, light grey and Navy. For some reason the Light Grey fits bigger than the Navy. The Navy did stretch out eventually though. They both ended up fitting great on my large head (7 3/4 new era)

Other cool details - It is stitched in the back to give it the permanent slouch look

If you are trying to put these on a board 09/10 or older, which is ICS/EST, you will need a special conversion kit, which is not included.

My girl friend rocks these in purple haze and only has good things to say about them. The 40g of insulation adds a nice bit of warmth, and the pants have an amazing fit. She is 5'7", 130lbs. She went with a medium, even though she thought a small would have worked.

Overall, I've enjoyed my Airblaster Grump in Peacock, quite a lot. The jacket's 100g of insulation is nice and warm fro most days.

Size wise, I am 5'11", 170 and I went with a L. If anything it was slightly big. That said, I like a tiny bit of extra room, so it was perfect.

This jacket has lots of pockets and a removable hood, which is nice. The only change I would like to see is that the front of the hood would connect to the front flaps. Currently, the hood just wrap around and connects to itself. Without it buttoned up, it flaps around a lot, which can be annoying. I just leave my hood in the car, unless it is really cold.

The Burton Hail has been around for years now, and every year it is more refined. If you are looking for a medium to softer flexing boot, with one of the most comfortable liners ever, this is it. The Flex 2 liner will mold to your foot and keep you comfy for hours on hill. I found this boot to fit true to size. I wear a size 9.5 shoes (vans etc.) and the 9.5 Hail fits great!

Coming from a Holden background, I was looking for a longer, slimmer fitting jacket. This jacket was long, and slightly slim. I found the arms to be baggier than what I liked and the size ran pretty big. Normally I would run a Large (even in other Airblaster), but with this one I think medium is good. For size ref, I am 5'11", 160lbs.

Aslo, the pass pocket feature is my favorite nifty idea on this jacket! Nice.

I recently picked up the Zissou version of this and it is awesome. The first night I had it, I slept in it, to test its warmth out. Two thumbs up. Not only does this Ninja suit have all the great features of the normal Ninja, but it is also made with Merino wool. Merino wool smells better, and keeps you drier. I also like the idea of having a natural fiber against my skin. Just saying.

Fit wise, I am 5'11", 160lbs. I found the M to be an athletic fit, while the L was a comfy fit. I went with L, even though it was slightly loose. All depends on your preference.

On top of all that, the Zissou tribute is great!

This boot took a new look at how inner liners should work. The inner liner of this boot is about as tall as a midtop skate shoe in the back, while the tongue goes all the way to the top of the boot.The reason DC did this was to give the boot a looser skate feel. They weren't joking with that goal. These feel more like skate shoes than any other boot I have rode. In addition, the liner allows the boot to be much lower profile than its competitors. This means less toe drag, and it is easier to get your pants over the boots.

I have a pair of 10s. I normally wear a size 9.5-10 skate shoe. I am rocking them in some s/m Rome 390s, to keep it snug.

I rode this board on and off, during the summer on Mt Hood. It was one of the biggest surprises of the summer, for me. In the past I had not been a huge fan of DC boards, but this one converted me. It had lots of pop.

At first some people might have issues for pressing, but I found the board broke in after a few days and was killing rails, as well. If you are looking for a noodle and never touch jumps over tranny finders and 20 footers, this board might be a little bit stiffer than you need. Still fun though.

I suggest this board for anybody that wants to ride one board for everything park. It was also decent cruising the hill.

I weigh around 160lbs and the 154 felt just right.

The Ration is a whole new ball game, for the snowboard world. The tip and tail of this board have no wood in them and no wrap around edge. It is designed such that you can cut the tip and tail into customer shapes. Make your board old school or future school, to your heart's delight. I made one look kind of like Travis Parker's old Calita pro board. Double tips on both sides.

Flex wise, I would call this a medium flex. It can press, but isn't a noodle.

Cool board

Super comfy shirt. I found this to fit kind of like a basic (model 2001) american apparel shirt. I am 5'11" and the length came down to around to just past the top of my jean pockets on the back.

Hey everyone. This board rules, for girls looking at an intermediate freestyle board.

With these 09/10, there are stickers on them for a free lift ticket and lesson. Since these boards are from last season, these tickets have expired. If you want to buy one with a valid ticket/lesson, you'll have to get the 2011 version, at full pop. That said, this is still a killer deal!

One thing I didn't know about this watch is that it actually has a clasp on the back. It added a much higher end feel to it, then I was expecting. You can dial in your wrist size real easy too. I also second all the other positive feedback here, about the watches features.

I back this crew super hard.

1)First off, it is bare. The only logo is on the chest, as shown.

2) The fit is a little bit longer and you don't have bat wings in the arm pits. A lot of people would look at this and think they could find something similar in a thrift store. Well they won't. The fit on this is long and slim, which generic blanks are not.

3) This hoodie is lightweight. Good springwear

For sizing, I am 5'11", 170. I went XL, cause I wanted it loose. My true size in this is probably a L.

I got this in the Ultra Blue Fade. The color is true to the pictures. I hate tight fitting dress shirts and went XL. After one wash / dry (with heat) this fit perfect. I am 5' 11" 170.

These pants fit amazing. They stretch well and are on the long side, just like I wanted. I bought the chalk, because it looked like a light blue. After washing it once, it became much more gray. I still love them, but I wish the color had stayed more blue.

I was excited to give this a try, to due to the gullwing camber. One of my current decks is the Sub Zero, which I like a lot. I was hoping this would be a slightly stiffer sub zero. While this was stiffer (around a 6 out of 10, which 10 being stiff as steel), it was not twin shaped. This board is listed correctly as a directional twin. In this case, it means the nose and tail have the same flex, but the nose is around 1-2 inches bigger than the tail. The directionality of it, bummed me out.

If you are looking for all mountain, this kills it. If you are looking for a stiffer sub zero, look into the future.

Many people pick up a pair of frogs and automatically comment that they feel cheap. This comment seems to be due to how light these are. Since the Frogskin is more slim lined than a pair of Rayban Wayfarers, it is lighter. This is a good thing though. It feels like you have nothing on your face. Couple this with high end Oakley optics, and you have a super light, high end pair of shades. Of course these have good style too. Some people have said that these can't be used for active use. I've snowboarded with them plenty of times and never had a problem with them flying off or getting heavy wind drafts, across my eyes. I am sure there are other Oakleys that wrap better, but they probably weigh more than these.

Fit wise, I think these are similar to a size L rayban wayfarer frame. If you have a bigger head, these rule.

I agree with the previous reviewer that this thing works way better than a stale bandana. The air hole is really nice, for when you need a little fresh air, but you don't want to expose your face to the elements. The thickness on this one is nice, as well. It feels thicker than the Party Panda one, I had last year. Overall, I suggest this product to anyone looking for a comfy, functional face cover.

I picked these up a couple weeks ago in Blue. Super comfy and killer style. I feel like they look similar to some 1940s PF flyers. We all love The Dogout, and this style is on point.

Anyway, these size up similar to Skytops. I size down .5, with these, which I do with all vulk soled shoes. I got 9.5s, when I would normally be a 10, in something like Nike Dunks or other cup soles. If you don't know what I mean by different sole types, google around and you will find it pretty easy.

I picked up a pair of these, due to the unique detail of the hemp / PET fabric. I have them in Indigo. It almost has a blue "heathered" look. Check out the detailed views to see what I mean. I also like the back leather detail patch on the back of one of the legs. Holden is always ahead of the game, when it comes to fit/fabrics/eco friendliness.

I also bought these because Holden is the best and I like my pants snug. I am a guy in chick pants, just to get them extra tight, without dealing with tailoring. I normally wear sz 32-33 men's denim and got the large. They were slightly loose in the waist. I could have squeezed the mediums, but I wanted the length, and riding all day with a tight waist didn't seem ideal.

Vans has been in the game since 66' and these kicks are classic. They are really comfy and the easiness of slip on and off is great. The tongue uses an elastic on the sides to keep them tight and allow ease of entry. I find that these fit about .5 big, like all vulk sole sneakers. I normally wear a 10 in something like nike dunks or cup sole skate shoes. I am rocking a 9.5 in these and I like it.

Good lifestyle sneaks. Not running shoes by any mean. Your feet will hurt if you try and run even a 100 feet in these. For skating I found them to be basic and have lots of feel. They did shred pretty easy, but I expected it

I used to have a pair of these on a WWW and I liked them a lot. The thing that most impressed me was all the adjust ability they had. You adjust all the following: Toe ramp, heel loop length, toe strap, heel strap, high back rotation, and forward lean. The straps are tool free too, which is nice.

Beyond that, this binding has a nice soft highback and even uses funnel pieces at the ratchets to get the ladder through easy. A solid package for sure.

What impressed me most about these Hsus was the footbed. It was way more comfy and padded than most footbeds that come with skate shoes.

Overall good style

Sizewise, I sized down .5, as I do with all Vulk sole skeakers and it was worth it. In cup soles (nike dunk etc), I wear a 10 and I got these in a 9.5. Woo

I like this jacket a lot. I was looking for something more street style, without a hood. I was planning on just wearing it around town, but I noted when I got it that it was 1000K water resistant. So I rocked a hoodie under it for some hesh style and took it on hill with some tight holden pants. Lookin good. It even has an internal pocket for my ipod. Yay. And the liner is all tiny babes in small clothing

I am 5'11" and 170. I normally wear a large and I got a large in this. True to size fit. The length came down to about 1-2 inches past my belt

I just picked up a pair of the Grey Suedes. I like them a lot. Super comfy. Sizing seemed pretty legit and true to size. The dark greys are a little darker than they look in the pictures on this site.

These shoes are tall. I put them next to some SB highs and these were about an inch taller. I like it

These shoes have some great things going for them. They look good, and the strap over the foot can be cranked down really hard, for a tight fit and custom style.

I got these in the yellow and they are much more of a mustard yellow than what they look like in the pictures. Think of Deli Mustard.

Sizing - these fit about .5 size big because they are vulks. Size down .5. I normally wear a 10, ordered a 10, and wished I had a 9.5

Otherwise, all the good things you would expect from Es

I have owned a lot of Holden Hoodies over the past few years as they are my favorite outerwear brand in snowboarding. This hoodie has a longer slimmer fit. I usually wear size Large Holden Jackets, but I went with an XL in this and am glad I did so. I am 5' 11", 170, for reference. You will also notice this has longer sleeves too.

Also, the pictures don't do justice to how cool the heathering is, detailed in the fabric colors. I suggest buying this over any other hoodie out here, if you want that clean, hip look.

I got a pair of these part way through last season and I was impressed with them for a few reasons. First off, they are super flexible and durable. Second they are super wide. The only down side was the mirror wore out after a lot of days

I recently got this watch in the gray / all black color and I am super happy with it. I wanted something super comfy that I could wear while riding and around town. The watch seems durable and does what it is supposed to. It tells me the time and what day of the month it is. And it has a cool basic euro look to it.

I bought these shoes to avoid having the Vans Authentics everyone else has and still have a basic good looking set of kicks. I haven't skated them yet, but they are surprisingly comfortable. The foot bed in these def has more padding than the Vans Authentics or slipons. I am rocking the laces, but you could rock these as slip ons for sure. I usually wear a size 10 and I got these in a 10. They fit well. I could have squeezed a 9.5 if I really wanted to.

Note - these have a cup sole that looks like a vulk sole.

I bought these pants because I wanted something that would perform solid and look good. I am a guy and I wanted girl pants with a tighter cut, because guys pants just don't do it for me. These pants are sick in person and fit great.

Other good notes - fleece in the knees and but is nice. 20K = heck yeah. These are a tailored fit in the legs around the knees most.

I wear a 32" pant normally and got these in large. They actually seem to have a little extra room.

Holden makes the best outerwear out there. Hands down and these pants prove it.

The O frame might not have the spherical lens of an A frame or the cool side bars of a crowbar, but it does have straight up classic performance and appeal. I like this goggle, because my face is bigger and it fits bigger faces well. I also like how you can swap straps around with other O frames. I currently have the Matte Blacks with the strap flipped inside out, so there is no logos. Sick

This jacket is super warm and nice. You get 10K waterproofing and classic urban style. This jacket does run extra long. The fur is removable. I am 5'11", 170 and I am rocking a L.

I rode the 2009 Libertine last spring and it was awesome. At the time I was on a 2008 pair of Burton Sabbaths. The libertine sized similarly. It was a little softer though, which I liked for the park. These boots look amazing in person, with the zipper details. Get the Bowery glove to match and bam, sick. Get these if you want a comfy, good flexing freestyle boot.

The Cheaptrick rides like a slightly softer Rome Artifact. I thought it was super fun for butters and ripping around the mountain in jibbatic state of mind. I am 5'11", 170 and I was ripping on the 156 having the best time ever. Beginner intermediates and rail dogs a like should check out this soft twin tipped fun stick.

The Graft is an awesome board. Carbon Fiber in the nose and tail gives you pop, while no carbon in the middle gives you a smooth flex for presses and Butter. Tap that off with sick graphics and a good shape and this board really can't be beat at the price. A+

This board rides real good for $300. If you are looking for something with a good shape and super soft flex than this is up your alley. Skip that beginner directional board someone is trying to sell you and jump on a twin like this. It will help your riding right from the gecko.

I rode this last year on snow hoping that it would be decently soft. Overall if it had lots of pop, but rode more like a stiffer freestyle twin. So if that is what you are looking for, this is a bargain. If you want soft buttery fun, look somewhere else.

Rome 390. Can't beat it. The under wrap heel loop is great for performance (heel to toe) and it is super adjustable. The plush heel strap is the best too. And these look sick. With sizing, I am riding a 9.5 Libertine in a s/m. There is a sizing overlap with s/m l/xl. I would go s/m with 9.5 and down unless you have a bulky boot like a 32 or DC. You will get tighter performance.

The Gnu SS BTX is a decent board. Think of it as a Skate Bananas younger softer brother. I liked the flex on the 154 I rode for 2 weeks on Mt Hood this summer. Easy to butter etc. The magnatraction can't be beat when ripping an icy pipe too. I did not have any issues with mine breaking at all when I was out there. I think the new BTX is a much nicer, stronger board than last years version, which was not BTX and costs $100 less.

The Love jacket. This thing has the coolest liner ever. Ladies! Know though, this jacket fits real long. It might be worth downsizing one size from your normal jacket. The torso of it is not wide though. Normal jacket width, long length and kind of baggy arms. Interesting fit, but it is cool and different.

The BFB really surprised me on Hood this summer. It had a great flex, was comfortable and just looked really cool. The picture don't speak for how cool these boots are. Fits true to size.
