I've been using these boots for 2 seasons now (70+ days), and feel they are a solid choice for a non-dynafit boot. many speak of fit problems, and i may be an exception, as my feet are flat, narrow, and pronated. All that aside, I also had initial fit problems, which were mostly fixed by having the liners cooked. The one lingering issue i had was pressure on the 6th toe area. I installed a 1/8" thich foam insert "under" the liner, and went to a heavy ski sock, and used slightly less buckle pressure. The thicker sock goes against normal thinking, but it worked. Now i can stay in these boots for 12 hours of touring and descents with no pain. As for the skiability of the boot. I think they rival a good alpine boot. I have the forward lean all the way forward, and can charge the most challenging lines on the mountain. They drive my mid-fats nicely, and touring is also comfy. As with all things they do wear, and i have found the most suseptible place is the plastic around the canting excentric. Solution: remove the excentric when the boots are new, and lubricate it liberally with a good silicone grease, and repeat this 2 times a year. For me it was a little too late. This hinge point gets the most wear on the boot. I will do this with all AT boots in the future.

these glasses fit well. the rims and lenses block out all unwanted light, with a snug to the face fit. sweat is channeled around the rims, and does not run across the lenses. they work well on snow, and flat light days. i don't wear ski goggles anymore, with the exception of very hostile weather. the only downside is the ear pieces have no wrap, and the glasses slip on my face. the use of a cinch type lanyard is a must!

this watch is feature packed, easy to set up and easy to use. as a BC enthusiast i have found this product to be very useful. besides telling time the altimeter, alarm, compass, and temp come in very handy for navigating the BC, arising for an early ascent time, setting course, tracking progress, etc. the price is outstanding. the only downside is taking it on and off to get accurate temp, but doesn't keep it from 5 stars.
