I got to break this jacket in over my trip to Tahoe last week. I love this jacket, it’s so warm (mind you its not too cold in Tahoe...I started sweating because I dressed like I was still on the ice coast one day...big mistake) and the jacket liner that is removable is so sick. I wear it all the time. The jacket itself has everything you need: side pockets, inside foam padded pocket for cell phone, and within the padded pocket is another one for a iPod, MP3 or something of that sort. It has a chest pocket for a walkie-talkie, or radio, or what ever you want to put in it. It has a snow skirt (don’t know if it says that in the description or not). All and all I say it’s a great jacket and should be on your list to chose from if you are looking for one.

Alright, so I’m not a big fan of Burton, actually, I’m not a fan at all but I give credit when credit is due. Airport lost my snowboard bag, I’m out all my snow gear, and I start my week trip across Tahoe the next day. Go to a shop see these pants, try ‘em on and decide to buy them (the airport reimbursed me for them, cuz they lost my stuff, score free pants). So these pants worked great, the pockets on the legs are AWESOME, I could fit one of my small video cameras in it and not worry at all about it coming out. They are warm, comfortable, hold up well in bad weather, and have tones of pockets within pockets. Pretty much, these pants do kick ass, but mine are white, so they kick more ass than the pink ones.

The Rome Agent kicks major ass all over the mountain. I have the 06, 158cm Rome Agent, and it takes everything I throw at it. Trails, rails, boxes, jumps, whatever there is to be ridden. It has tons of snap, pop, and is very buttery. If you are looking for something that will be an all out slayer in the park and will still kill on the grooms, this snowboard should be on your list to pick from.

They are good bindings and the toe strap (in my mind) kicks ass. You get both, reg straps and toe when you order these bindings if you like one more than the other. The extra padding on the ankle strap is nice. The only thing I don’t really like about them is the ratchets. They aren’t horrible, but they only feed four threads when you pull the ratchet, when some bindings are feeding six. The less threads that are being fed, means the better chance of your straps coming lose while ridding. After I got back after a week trip I noticed the ratchets were kind of lose, but that’s just wear and tear. Lifetime warranty is definitely a huge plus. If anything goes wrong, call 'em up and they will send you whatever you need.
