? in one

Can't beat the interchangeable lens. Oakley quality all the way and now it's like I have 3 glasses in 1. I got the G30's which I really, really recommend. I got the clear for riding at night and the ones with which the glasses came. Love it! |

| Oakley A Frame Goggle w/ High Intensity Lens Read other reviews of this product |
good lookin
02-10-03 ![]() |
I like these goggles. I bought them a while ago and for the most part have only used one lens. Actually, it's been a couple of years and the foam around the edges is still on there! I have only had a couple of fog problems (hiking up switch backs and too lazy to take them off) but otherwise they've been great. Oakley makes good eyewear in my opinion and the A Frame is no exception |

Lobster Glove

I like these gloves both in concept and design. They allow me more flexibility than a mitten but provide more warmth than a glove. The removable liner is nice as well. They only problem I have with them (and it's a problem) is that they get wet quickly. I used the leather goo that came with them, but it didn't help that much. |

Stylish and Comfortable

The Oakley A wire is an excellent sunglass to wear while driving or hanging at the local watering hole. The A wires are comfortable and very durable. |

Oh ya

What a grat ski! I am on my second season with the same skis and they are still full of life. When I look at some of the other new skis out there they look a little skinny, but still, they serve me well both in and out of bounds. Know the one, get the ski! |

Nice boot
12-28-05 ![]() |
I like this boot. I don't have too much experience with other alpine boots, but this one fit well from the start. It's well built and a legit piece of gear. I'd recommend these boots. |

| Black Diamond Havoc Telemark Ski This product is no longer available |
A lot of ski
12-07-04 ![]() |
My first pair of tele skis were blk diamond and I thought I'd never try them again, until someone at BC Store recommended I try the Havoc Ski. I am very happy I listened to the advise - it's a lot of solid ski that is responsive and steady. So far, it's held up in the hard pack just as well as its done off-piste in the chowder. However, it's a ski that demands you be on your game, lest you want to be in the back seat all day. |

Good Shoe
10-01-06 ![]() |
I bought these Garmonts for a work shoe and spend a lot of time on my feet. I have no problems. The traction holds well on wet floors, and the upper breathes well. The only issue is that the sole is peeling away where the toe bends on one shoe - nothing a little shoe goo can't fix, however ... |

I bought two pair of these shorts and need more. They’re super-comfortable, well-made and cut. Another great product from this company! |

This is a great jacket - versatile and easy. Plus it stuffs into its own pocket and makes for a good pillow. Lightweight and windproof. |

I strongly recommend these
12-07-04 ![]() |
I bought these for boarding and am now using them for tele and alpining. They are low profile and fit well under my ski pants without too much bulk, which was my fear. The pads are well placed and have provided with enough protection in the first five days of use to justify the purchase - everything here in is just icing on the groomer, I mean cake. |

Another pair
07-23-07 ![]() |
This is my second pair and I really like em. The fist pair lasted a strong year of almost everyday use in both wet and dry conditions. I use these as work shoes - so standing, walking, sitting - they're good to go! |

I like this
04-24-06 ![]() |
Good product, it’s easy to inflate and has a little pocket on it which held my iPod nicely. My only complaint was it made my neck a little hot after awhile. |

Great Touring Sock
04-24-06 ![]() |
While a little expensive, this is the best touring sock I've seen or used! I used them recently on a 6 day tour and they were great. Not a blister to be found. My advice, however, is that you go a little smaller than you think on the size. They run big and long and too much material in the boot is no good. |

They work
08-04-05 ![]() |
I didn't think I'd really need these, but am now thankful I have them. They really do prevent the snow from balling up in the crampon. They took a little time to setup, but it was worth it. |

Sugar Daddy skis
02-02-05 ![]() |
I like these skis and they served me well in the Tahoe "powder" (those quotation marks are for all of you in UT and CO!) They are a little soft in the tips and tails, which is my only concern. Other than that, nice beefy ski - 99mill. under foot - and should prove useful for a good overall ski as they are easy enough to turn over despite the width. |

07-07-03 ![]() |
Ahh, Oakley. I bought these glasses thinking that I'd get a pair for riding and sports in general. What I really got was a great pair of shades that now I wear more than I should! Biking, running, driving, chillin... nice work Oakley! |

I threw this into the pocket of my pack and, fortunately for my feet, haven't had to use it yet. It's small and lightweight and seems to have everything I'll need. |

good boots for after skiing

I gave these boots as a gift and they are getting lots-o-use. They are great for the after ski scene - warm and good looking... I think they're good. |

great pack
04-25-07 ![]() |
get it - there's no reason not to... there's plenty of room for extended days tours and its simplicity is wonderful. It fit me well and stayed snug on back for both touring and heli skiing. You beat the added safety... |

great jacket
04-25-07 ![]() |
I would recommend this jacket to anyone looking for synthetic down. I used it most recently on a trip to AK and it fit the bill – kept me warm at night and not too hot during the spring days. It stuffs well into its own pocket and fits into my pack for bc tours, if needed. I also feel good about wearing it around town. |

I bought these for work and they're turning out to be great. A nice alternative to Carhart and in the same league. In fact, I ended up buying a second pair! |

I like these for riding (on and off road) and for ski touring. They really can be used in a variety of different scenarios. The changeable lenses are great and easy to do. Good eye protection all the way around. |

Sizing
07-13-06 ![]() |
These pants looked great and are in fact well made (in keeping with the other Arc'teryx gear). However, the pants are really big. So big, in fact, that I have to return them... I got the right waist size, but they're just big. |

| G3 Backcountry Binding Kit This product is no longer available |
Good to know you're covered
04-24-06 ![]() |
It has all the pieces you need. It's a little extra weight to carry, but it's certainly less than carrying your skis when you can't fix your bindings! |

Nice addition
04-24-06 ![]() |
I used these in a variety of conditions and they worked well. I do not recommend them for more technical climbs, but the nice thing is you can always flip up to the full lever leaving yourself the choice. I definitely did notice a difference in the lack of resistance when using them. |

I couldn't really figure out which points were to be covered by which protectors, but that could be operator error. Regardless, I covered the main ones and they stayed covered. |

Crampons fit well with not a lot of room to spare. I felt better about putting my crampons in my pack knowing that they were in a pack themselves. Good product. |

Tasty and hearty. It says meal replacer on it and it might be true. Like all bars, they're hard as rock when frozen; but that didn't stop me from eating them. |

Well done

This is my first pair of crampons so I don't have anything to compare them to; however, I found them easy to use as they make sense when I looked at them. Well thought out and well built. When I put the ABS on them for spring snow, it was the perfect set-up. |

Hard pressed to find another
02-02-05 ![]() |
Brake to fit over these wider skis. These work well on the Atomic Sugar Daddy's. The only drawback, if this is even a drawback, is that there are ridges on the plastic covers on the arms and it makes it hard to the skis together. On the other hand, if you're holding your skis, you ain't skiing! |

I am wearing them right now! Funky look to them (comment provoking) and fit well. Beefy shoes for a low top - pretty much what you would expect from a great company like Scarpa. |

Best Gloves out there

That's pretty much the deal, they are the best. I went with a smaller size and find that I have a little more dexterity. If want the best glove out there, here it is, IMO. |

This case is not as user friendly as the others I've seen, but it still does the job! The water proof pouch on the inside keeps everything nice and dry, there are places to strap down your gear, but the overall functionality is a little clumsy - or is that just me... |

Get a set of sticks! A whole lot of ski with out being too much. I used it in the resort on a big pow. days and on cut-up days and these skis just plow on through anything. In the bc, they served me very well - the wider skin that is needed with these gives more traction and they are great in all sorts of snow from deep powder to ankle deep surface hore. They have changed the way I ski - for the BETTER! |

| Arc'teryx Psi Zip T Short Sleeve - Mens This product is no longer available |
good to go
08-07-03 ![]() |
This shirt is a great base layer for a variety of different activities. It's super soft to the touch on the inside and has a good cut to it so that it hangs on me like it should. More importantly, it does its job, which is no surprise seeing as how Arc’Teryx makes it! My only negative comment, and the reason I didn’t give it a ‘5’, is the color. How that affects functionality, however, I have no idea… |

These booties did what they should - kept my feet nice and warm. I wore them in the backcountry and they were a real treat to put on after the day. They're light and pack down to nothing. Now if only they'd make them for the office I'd be set... For real, they're really good. |

I like um
02-10-03 ![]() |
These skins did just what they were supposed to do. I had a little trouble with the clip on the end, but it could have very well been me! No problem with the glue over the course of several days in the BC and they stuck to the trail no problem. Cutting them to fit took some time but no big deal - if you want the custom fit it's gonna take some time. I'd definitely recommend these. |

I have just found my new all-around jacket. I wore it in the back country of WY and stayed warm and dry. I wore it this past weekend at Alpine Meadows in 45-50 weather and I loved it. It is functional and simple and is a great jacket. Generally, everything I have from this Arcteryx is really, really good. |
