These shorts fit true to size. I was a little surprised when they arrived at my house, the color is pretty faded. I thought it would be darker, but it's actually pretty light. The button also broke off on them, so I had to sew on a new one. I'm no seamstress, so I picked a button that's too big. Since I'm too lazy to cut it off, I just don't wear these shorts anymore.

I got these shoes about a week ago and they're off the sickter scale. They're super airy so they're really cool, even if you're skating in them for a couple hours. They have a really low profile so you feel really close to your board. They're pretty durable, but I don't plan on skating in them too much. I got them to mostly just wear around and I like the casual look, they're definitely cooler looking than most plain jane skate shoes. Siiick style. I usually wear and 11.5 and my size fit great.

Women's only hat, no way. I picked up one of these beanies and it's off the sickter scale. I don't wear it riding because it wouldn't be warm enough with all the gaps in the knit, but I always wear it into the bar after I ditch my helmet in the car. So far no one has yelled, "Hey, Hey, HEY, look at that dude wearing a chic's hat!"

I got these kicks about a month ago and I really like them. You can run the laces on the inside of the shoe, so they don't get torn up while skating. Once you do that the laces are about three feet too long so I ended up cutting them down a little so I don't look like a clown with four bows on my shoes. I don't skate a ton, but these have been helpful learning to ollie when I'm actually moving instead of just standing still on the carpet. I usually wear an 11.5, and these fit true to size. They felt tight at first but once laced they were solid.

This is a plain shirt with a normal fit. I had one of Volcom's Hot Snake shirts and this is way, way better. The cotton this thing is made of actually breathes and I haven't lost any buttons off this shirt like I did off the Hot Snake. The back of the shirt has a long seam but it doesn't look awkward or anything. All of these are treated with a vintige wash too, so they have a faded look.

These shades are exactly like the Electric BSGs only with a less chunky frame. They don't have the space cut out in the middle of your forehead and the frames are lower profile. I have a big head (7 5/8) and these things fit great. I tried the big, circular frames but I have a more square face so these look better.

The Arctic Jacket is dialed for riding on most days. If it's snowing really hard, it's not waterproof enough to keep you dry, and if it's sunny and mild you'll sweat to death. The jacket is pretty heavy which is what you'd expect from an insulated jacket made for riding the resort. I wear a size medium in most Planet Earth and Volcom shirts, but a large in most jackets. I got this in a medium and it fits perfectly. The arm length is good and the wrist gaiters are the ideal length even though I'm 6'2" and have really long arms. The pitzips are dialed—you just wear a base layer under the jacket and when you start getting warm you open them up and cool off immediately, pit zips don't work that well if you’re layering clothes instead or wearing an insulated jacket.

I didn't even know these weren't real leather until someone told me. They feel like brushed nubuck and wear like it too. I usually wear an 11.5 and I had to get a 12 in this shoe.

This is a heavy sweatshirt and it's way warm. I had hoped that it had a slim fit, but it's super baggy. The interior is also lined with white and black prison stripes which is hard to tell in the picture. I liked the way it looked but the arms weren’t long enough and the body was too big.

This is a tight shirt that fits true to size. The placket comes down pretty far and it looks kind of like the old golf shirts my old grandpa wears. The fabric is light and pretty thin.

I usually wear 34x34in pants and I tried the 34x32in that Volcom makes in this pair of pants, it looked like I was going wading in the ocean. They were way too short which was too bad because I like the cut and denim was the perfect weight: heavy enough to last a long time and light enough to be comfortable right away.

I tried this shirt on and it's super long. I guess they cut them like this so you can sag your pants super low without getting arrested. It fits true to size, aside from the abnormal length.

These are wide goggles; they fit me well since I have a big head (7 5/8) and they offer great peripheral vision. They're not quite as nice as lower-profile goggles when trying to look down, meaning you have to tilt your head to look straight down when you're trying to see if you're locked into your skis or board. They ventilate well and it's easy to swap the lenses.

This is a solid shirt. It's light and resists wrinkles, even if you're prone to sleeping through the middle of the day on the couch. I usually wear a medium and that fit perfectly.

The stripes on this shirt look wider when the shirt's in front of you than they do on the site. They still look pretty cool, but they're really eye catching. I don't think anyone would mistake this shirt for something you would find in a thrift store. Also, the stripes on the back near the top run diagonally, not horizontally like the front of the shirt. The shirt has a normal fit. I usually wear a medium and it was a perfect fit.

These shorts have a sick look in the over dyed camo, and the length is ideal. I usually wear a 34 inch waist, but these 34s would only fit me if I gained 20 pounds. I returned them and got the 32s.

This shirt is not exactly as it seems. I usually wear a medium in Planet Earth gear, but had to get a size large in this, which is still pretty tight. It's also way, way longer than the pic makes it look. It comes down past your ass so you have to tuck it in, or look like you're wearing a jail-striped unitard. But if you like long shirts, then this is pretty solid. The fabric is a pretty heavy weave, and the collar actually stands up and looks good. Also, Peter Barrett has a siiiiick new house, I heard.

Dude, this shirt is not-so-sweet. It's a really weird fabric, which isn't reflected in the picture. The fabric picks up tons of lint, and it wrinkles all the time. Which would look good if it were normal cotton or linen, but instead it always looks like you slept in a bowling alley. A button also broke off the second time I wore it. Some lady at Wal Mart pointed it out to me and I had to tell her I left it like that so I could scratch my belly button. Plus, I kind of felt like a poser wearing a Volcom shirt to Wal Mart. But I gave it a three because it has a good, slim fit. The collar also looks pretty cool if you iron it. Almost respectable.

This shirt is so sick, it's like the time my friend Peter's cat threw up, then ate its own vomit, then threw up again. That's how sick it is. The cotton fabric is really light, and it keeps me nice and cool here in the god forsaken desert. I'm from the Midwest, so I'm used to lakes and green hills. This shirt takes me back to planet plaid, where people still appreciate comfortable shirts that look as good as this one. As a bonus, it never really wrinkles and always looks like it's been ironed. I haven't been able to figure this out, but, when I do, I plan to patent it, and become a millionaire.

This jacket belongs on the street corner with a boom box and a piece of cardboard with you busting moves. Which might explain why it's so tight. I wear a size medium in Planet Earth shirts, but needed a large in this. It's snug, and the fabric is thin but very dense. It almost feels like a wetsuit. It wears well and moves easily. I wear the brown one with jeans all the time, but can't wear it with khaki pants; I'd look like a ninja wearing all brown.
