three point one ounces??!!! Better believe it. I only feel warmth and protection when I wear this jacket- no weighty feeling at all. Packs incredibly small for minimalist backpackers, and offers plenty of dryness. Wore this jacket in a considerable rain shower while camping and it kept me totally dry. My zipper was on the CORRECT SIDE-- I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about. FIVE STARS!!!

I tested the 08-09 proto during several days of the 07-08 season out here at Snowbird. No other boards compare! It's incredibly well balanced and the ICS binding setup is money. It's my professional opinion that Burton saved the Vapor's absolutely perfect shape for it's highest end board. The directional shape floats pow like "what?" Holds a solid edge traversing, and it's centered enough to effortlessly land bakcountry booters switch. Then blast switch pow slashers for the rest of the run. It kills it in the park, and has insane pop. Oh yeah, ZERO swing weight makes you feel like there is nothing on your feet. Fastest, lightest, most versatile board ever made-- period.

I was lucky enough to test this jacket for HH late season, and I wish I wore it home. First of all, 20K rating is AFTER washing, so you're still totally waterproof unlike some OTHER brands. Bronze accent colors and waterproof zippers look badass-- the pic doesn't do those details justice. Fully stretch and a perfect cut for resort or backcountry shralping. What else could you ask for? How about the powpow skirt zips into the Odin Mountain Pant? Yeah that's right, get you some. SIX STARS

Size 32 fit true, the finish quality is outstanding, and the material is nice and light for summer comfort. Five out of Five stars!!

This casual shirt fits great, I got a large and I'm 6 feet tall. Super soft organic cotton, and fairly slim fit. Go Karl!!

Got to test these pants for HH later in the season, and all I can say is WOW. You like-a de bib? You zip on-a de bib. You like-a de pant? You zip off-a de bib. ANDDD, you can zip em straight to your Odin Mountain jacket or Work Vest for straight-up snow proofing. Kevlar kick panels shun my crampons with bulletproof durability. I wish I had four hands, so I could give these pants... four thumbs up. Five stars will do.

I LOVE these pants! They're incredibly lightweight for summer activities/lounging and also really durable. I use mine for climbing and our granite slabs are no match for the durable nylon material. I'm glad to see that this site has over 300 pairs in stock now, because I just bought one of EVERY color. Thanks!!!! Your site rocks

Love the jacket! Looks so fly, and keeps me warm. Super water proof, and see thru ipod pocket. I have the scrubs green and it picks up chicks like no other!

The pic doesn't do these pants justice! They looked pretty alright online, but way better in person. They're good for any time of the year-- not too light or heavy, and have a great standard fit. Liking the fabric feel too-- feels real good mmmmmmmmmm.

Wasn't expecting a "lightweight" hoodie when I bought it, so be aware of that. I prob won't be able to wear it snowboarding, but that's cool. Visually kicks ass and the details are super clean. I got Misted Yellow color in XL, which is rad lookin. Also no thumbloops.

Quite simply, this is the jacket I've been searching for. Most tech shells lack one of the following: light weight, fully welded seams (which deems it NOT waterproof) or pockets (NECESSARY). My Quark has it all!!!! Crazy light, full welding, pockets aplenty, and it's stretchy as all get-out. Love it. I'm 6 feet tall with long arms, and purchased the XL. It's a bit roomy and I suspect I could've gotten the large, but I dig the extra room for layering when it's cold.

If you're like me, shopping for your GF is more stressful than getting up on Monday morning. One thing's for sure, your girl loves the Glacier TKA 100 fleece. How do I know? It could be the fuzzy-bunny feel, down to earth price, or excellent (and sexy with the zipper down) fit. All I know is if you're a good boyfriend, get a TKA 100 for your girl. 5'2" and petite fits the size Small perfectly.

Wish you guys could reach in your computer and give this tee a pet. It's got incredibly thin cotton, the likes of which I've never felt before. Super light and extremely soft. 105 degrees feel like a frosty 98--Brrrrrr. With the money you'll save on turning your AC off in your trailer, this tee will pay for itself. And regular fit.

This street jacket is perfect for cool temps and crappy weather. The coated twill sheds sprinkles like nothing. It's hella stylee, and has a twill liner to keep the shell off your skin. So perfect I'm ordering the black one right now, for Friday nights with my girlie when I have to look presentable.

This logo's straight outta 1993. Bust out the Soundgarden/Alice In Chains CDs and cut the tip and tail off your board for lower swing weight. At least that's what we did in Wisconsin.

I bought these for my girly about a month ago and she thinks they're THE ABSOLUTE SHIT!!!!!! She's got a small face, but she says "the bigger the better" about sun-g's. She's a super fashion forward (and hot) chick, and her glasses definitely make the perfect statement. Needless to say I got some the night I gave em to her ;)... and she still coos over how I picked the perfect gift. Count it!

WHAAAAT?! Yeah I said it. My black Nixon Rotolog has been my fave since they came out a few years ago, but not anymore. The Stealth takes the top spot as the star QB in my watch lineup. It's HUGE, and the crystal covers the entire bezel-- neat-o. It's sheer bad-assery that you can wear.

They look freshy fresh, and are super comfortable. I wear either a 10 or 10.5, and these clock in at the 10.5 size for me. When skating, they have sick board feel underfoot because the soul is pretty thin. They lose the "5 Star" rating because they're HOT with little ventilation beside some toe venting-- but hey it's summertime and I'd skate in flipflops if I could. Otherwise, they kick ass!

I bought the Black color, and the purple/acid green color pop gives it some eyeball appeal. The poly blend is SUPER light and breathable. Wore it golfin with my idiot friends yesterday in 100 degree heat, and felt right at home on the links beside my 110 score. Whatever. I play for fun and drinkin beers. This shirt allowed me to have fun AND drink beers. One more thing. It fits pretty large for a Volcom piece, so you might want to size down. I'm 6 feet tall and slim, usually wear a Volcom size Large, but shoulda went with a medium. That's all.

These are the headphones that all the rippers out here in UT wear. They're super loud and are still crisp when you got your iPod cranked up all the way. Best part is, they're light weight so they stay on your head when you bail and your neck muscles don't get all ripped like juiced up bodybuilders. Light, super loud, and bombproof.

I talked to DF and they only have one of each color/size.

When I wear this sweater, I feel like the coolest dude on the block. Purple + orange = cool. Lightweight + cotton = cool. Chicks hanging off my shirt sleeves = cool. There are three good reasons why this sweater is cool.

Like T shirts? Then you'll love this one. Standard fit, super bright, and has a surfer dude on it. Feels nice, and fits normal. Yup. Teeeeeeee-Shirt.

Ill hoody, I got the gray with pink print. I'm 6 feet and thin, and ordered the large originally. It FIT, but I wanted it looser. So, I returned for the XL. It's rad-- perfect loose fit. and love the print. Like I said, it's lighter weight fleece so it'll be perfect for summertime bonfire parties and will look good with shorts and flops. Don't let your girlfriend get her hands on it, my GF digs the pink pandaa and tries to steal it from me all the time!

These pants are exactly what they claim-- regular fit and straight leg. They got loser as I broke them in. Not emo tight, and not gangsta loose. They have enough bunching around my sk8 shoes for the tongues of my Nike 6.0s to stick out. Perfect for sagging, or wearing up around your belly-button (my steez). Volcom denim cuts can be pretty out there, and these are a safe pair. If your clothing style chills instead of screams, these are the jam.

Welp, Volcom's done it again. Am I totally brainwashed by this company? They should sponsor me just for being decked out in their wares. Warped is my new fave hoodie for summer-- super lite weight, secret ipod picket, regular fit, and killer trippy allover print. Plus!! it's a good price. Nice one, Volcom way to take all my money.

Sup Gs. For Volcom, this piece is pretty bland. I got the black tie dye and it looks like something you would get at Walmart-- kinda cheesey. Build quality is good, and it's slim for sure. I'm 6 feet tall and thin, and picked up size MED. Should've gotten a LRG.

Dig the denim and the pocket detail, but I have to admit I expected them to be BAGGY and not just loose. However, as I wore em, they did get looser and broke in a lot. Five stars for the jeans, three stars for the description.

Similar to TSaylor, I'm 6'0" and 165 lbs. I referred to the SIZE CHART located on the right side of this very page (under the Select Options box), and noted the sleeve length. Discovered I needed the size LARGE-- which fits perfectly! Love the jacket, and it's plenty long in the sleeves and torso. A six foot tall guy is hardly ever a size medium, and this jacket is no exception. This site supplies size charts for almost all products, so check it out before you buy. Five stars for this lightweight, totally waterproof jacket!!!!

OK I admit it-- I'm a denim freak and boarderline OCD about the jeans I wear. Hence, I blow a shitload of money on denim (think one of every Volcom cut--ouch) but also have plenty of knowledge about em. The Roadhouse is PRETTY slim, but there is plenty of wiggle room. They're definitely not tight on my legs or anything and actually a little too baggy in the crotch for my style. The boot cut is rad though, and I'll still rock em plenty. 6 feet tall and 160 lbs, and any 32 size Volcoms fit my waist best. I got the black color which is JET black, and pretty effin killer. Cant wait for the color to fade a bit. Roadhouse is best price on volcoms, too.

If you're looking for an 80s style retro jacket, the Analog Cartridge is the perfect mix of bullet-bikin, mullet thrashin and breakdancin in 1980. Perfect slimmer (not way skinny) fit, with sick details like collar button, suspender straps and satin lining. I'm 6 feet tall and thin; bought the large. Prob could have gotten the medium, but large fits just fine.

mark my words, plaid flannels WILL be rad in winter 08, just consider me a trend setter (ha). The Element David will be riding the coolness wave. It's a midweight flannel that's slim fit. I'm 6 feet tall and skinny and usually wear a size M button-down. The M in this shirt is a little short, but whatever I'm keeping it. SILVER color looks so ill, and the purple pop color isn't overpowering. Take it from me, but plaid flannels for WINTER 08 if you want to be cool

The 2.7 is the perfect shirt for working at the office or chillin' at your Saturday backyard BBQ. It's got a clean look and slimmer cut with steezy Oakley logo hits. DIG IT for real.

I've got the red/black Teen Spirit. I feel like Cobain when I put it on. My girlfriend said I looked like a badass and ripped it off me as soon as she saw it. Super soft, lightweight cotton for skatin all day. Great fit-- pretty slim and plenty long. I'm 6 feet tall and a thin guy. I bought the MED size which fits perfectly. It's plenty long to cover my ass when I sag my pants, but maintains slim look. Ringer look is added bonus! Get this shirt and get girls. Period.

I'm wearing the black/gray/white Fenchurch Icon shirt right now. Perfect steez for Summer 08 because of the diagonal stripes and less neon is coming up! The durable cotton material is in between light and mid-weight, so I can skate without feeling like I'm wearing a sauna but it won't rip when I bail. I'm slim, and 6 feet tall and the medium fits just right. Not too short and plenty long.

Killer punk style and it's great hoodie for summer nights-- really light weight. I bought both colors, and the gray/black stripe is way sweeter than the white/tan stripe. It's a slim fit-- narrow through the body and arms. I'm 6' tall and 160 lbs and the size medium fits perfect- fitted not baggy. Also, inside-out is more edgy with unpolished seams etc. Bomber.

Unfortunately the pics don't do this shirt justice. It's pretty bright, and the black color (I bought that one) is much less drab. I suggest checking out a more vibrant pic at www.volcom.com, and use the SEARCH box at the bottom of the page for "lubeck." The shirt looks WAY better in person! these pics-- 3/5 stars. Lubeck shirt-- 5/5 stars yo

Denim that's not from China! I was stoked when I saw "made in NC" tag on these jeans. The POVD has a rad cut-- low rise, and a non-baggy ass. Slim but NOT tight and the Freakin Good wash is killer. Stash pockets galore and an iPod pocket too. This is Volcom's best cut EVER-- trust me I've owned WAY too many over the years. Don't be a square, support the red white and blue SONN!

I've got a ton of Volcom jeans, skinny to baggy. 2x4, Gunner, Ergo and now these Contra. CONTRA IS PERFECT-- sick lookin and sag just right. Slim (not tight) through the legs, non baggy ass, low rise and the Freakin Good Stretch is SIIICK. I can't say enough-- soft, tough denim 2% spandex, even a frickin iPod pocket WHAT? GET THESE JEANS. Oh yeah, they're the exact same cut as the Pontra POVD-- bought em both at the same time and returned the POVD.

Personally, 300 lbs sounds WAY too big for a "normal" size vest; that other guy should be shopping at a Big N Tall :) I'm 6 feet, 165 lbs and a size Large fits PERFECTLY. Athletic fit, without a lot of extra material flopping around when trail running or biking. If you're a normal sized guy, this vest is the jam.

White color. I get more compliments on these shades than any others. The "frameless" lens looks sick and super clean. I have a medium face, and they fit perfectly. BUY THESE for real! but don't bite my style

The Rhym is SUPER comfortable-- 5% spandex means silky feel with stretch. The Eventide color is fresh. Almost purple and sick for summer. I'm 6 feet and skinny and the Medium fits just fine. M is longer than most tees.
