These glasses are sick. I bought the white ones. They are definitely for medium faces. If you think that the gascan is a little too thin for your face and the eye patch is too big, the go for this one. The white ones sometimes make me look like I am wearing 3D glasses, but that is what makes them retro-square awesome!

This is one of the best 3 in 1 jackets for this price that I have ever seen. The shell is pretty baggy, and the liner is way warm. I wish the liner had monkey thumbs, but it doesn't matter since they button into the coat anyway. The 3-in-1 system makes it easy to customize the warmth of the jacket. The liner is steezy enough to wear alone, in fact, I am wearing the liner right now during class while I write this.

This is the most fun ski I have ever skied on. I use it at Alta in all conditions. Granted, I feel that my 4Frnt VCT's could straightline hard choppy snow better, the Steeze is overall a better ski. Most fat skis feel really planky when you aren't in powder, these feel more like skis when you aren't in powder. So how do they feel in the snow they were made for? They are awesome. I have used them in some super deep days at Alta and they surf so nice. I 100% recommend this ski to everyone who wants a nice powder ski that can still ski back to the chair. Even if you don't use chairs, this ski would be awesome for touring because the WRS core makes it so light. The Twin tip makes it rad for landing switch in powder. After reading this review, you have no reason not to buy this ski (unless you live in the East)

This shirt is not exactly what I expected. I love the Oakley Pirate Logo, with the Old School Oakley logo and the skull with the pirate patch. This shirt is a little bit slimmer fitting than I would have liked, and if you get the black one it has a fade in it, that almost looks like it got bleached in some places, it is usually not my steeze to wear a shirt like that, but it was cheap and I like the logo on it so I kept it.

These gloves are surprisingly good. They don't have much padding, they don't have any protection really, but they are really lightweight. They didn't hurt my hand as much as some of my more padded gloves either, so that is a plus. The only downside is that they get kind of hot, but it didn't bother me too much. If your hand is inside of any sort of glove on a sunny bike day your hand will get sweaty, so it isn't a huge deal. I wouldn't recommend these to people that need a heavy duty bike glove, or a downhill biker, but to keep it light for a cross country biker, they are great! Plus, you can't go wrong with an old school Oakley Logo.

I like this helmet, it is super steezy. You can wear your goggles over the top or underneath and it still works well. I hope to get the furry liner next so that I can stay super warm, but the inner beanie does pretty well anyway. I like how it fits with Oakley Crowbars. Helmet is way comfortable, and the EPS liner is even complies with EN1078 for bike, EN1077 and AST 2040 for Snow, CPSC for Bike and Skate. So if that is what you are looking for in a helmet then make sure to get the EPS liner and not the Brockfoam liner. This one is the EPS but this site also carries the Brockfoam version which doesn't comply with any certifications, so make sure you know which one you are buying. The nice thing about the certifications is that I know that this helmet is good not only while I am skiing, but also while I am skating and biking in the summer. That is what makes this helmet so awesome.

First of all. DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING THIS BINDING IF YOU ARE NOT A HIGHLY ADVANCED SKIER OR YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A BINDING LIKE THIS IS CAPABLE OF, YOU WILL ONLY GET HURT! That having been said, this binding is amazing. It is for either really big skiers or really good skiers. This binding was basically made to say on your foot at all times unless you take one of the burliest falls ever. This binding should never break, it has one of the burliest constructions I have ever seen. If you have a foam core or a week wood core ski you are probably more likely to pull the binding out of the ski then to pull your boot of out of the binding on a fall. This binding is a little bit heavier than some bindings, but it doesn't have all of the plates that a normal binding has, it is pure boot to ski construction so you can feel what is going on. If you buy this binding, good luck!

I own the Sheet Metal color of these and I love them. The outer material is just as durable as Oakley's ski/snowboard pants, and feels like a very similar material. The "underarmour" like shorts inside are great, they have a lot of padding to keep you comfortable on an uncomfortable bike seat. I have taken these on ride in Norther Utah and Moab and they have felt great. I would recommend them to everyone, in fact, I already do. They have nice crotch zippers so that they breath, and they seem pretty bomb proof as far as scratches and stuff go. They also have a bike tire tool which I have never used, but seems like it might come in handy in the unfortunate event that i have to change a tire.

I bought this shirt cause the old school Rossignol Rooster (or is it a rossignol?) is super sick. The red letters are kind of fuzzy, kind of like felt. This shirt looks super old school so it is pretty awesome. The color is kind of weird, it looks exactly as pictures. I like this shirt cause nobody else has it. You can all buy it though, I won't mind.

Good price for some awesome pants. They are baggy enough for steeze but not so baggy that you have to pull them up every time you stomp a trick. I recommend these pants if you want a shell pant that will protect you from the weather and give you a ton of steeze points.

This is an awesome goggle. The blue color is a little bit more of a royal blue (purple hue to it) than I expected. It is a really great goggle. The fire lens is best for super bright days. Oakley goggles are the safest, most optically correct goggles that I have ever used. They don't have as good of a field of view as the Oakley Wisdom..but they fit almost all faces better than any other goggle I have used. Some goggles fit big faces, others fit small faces, I would say that the crowbar probably fits about 90% of faces.

The Line Anthem is a pretty sick ski. Fairly light and easy to do switch up's with. I wouldn't recommend this ski for carving hard at high speeds on groomers, but that isn't what it is made for. It is a cool ski cause even though it is 90 underfoot it doesn't feel like it at all. The graphic reminds me of Adam Sandler in the Wedding Singer. This is a better park ski than I ever imagined it to be.

I love these gloves. They aren't as thin as some park gloves that I have seen, which is why I marked them down a little bit. Sometimes, when I am messing around, I like to pick up a snowball and huck it at my friends, when it is slushy, my hands get cold, but I don't think that they get too wet. They definitely aren't meant for a powder day, but for spring they are SICK! I would definitely recommend buying them because they aren't only functional, but they are super steezy as well.

These are my favorite goggles. They have ton's of optical clarity and are super comfortable. They work with the smith variant brim helmet, and the bern baker EPS helmet fine. Super durable goggles, Super Comfortable, I haven't had as many problems with fogging with these as I have had with other goggles. All in all, what else could you ask for?

I have only gotten to ski this ski once so far. All I can say is "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking some up." Seriously, they are probably the best 1 ski quiver ski that I have ever handled (for Snowbird/Alta that is). They carve fine on groomers, better than the ARG. They float and surf awesome in deep pow, and they are stiff enough to handle crud without a problem. I don't know if it gets any better than this.

They put a piece of fiberglass behind the boot, which makes this ski flex super weird. I skied last years version, but as far as I know, nothing has changed on this ski this year. The fiberglass plate is supposed to make butters easier..but tail butters just feel weird with this ski. It doesn't have a smooth flex for popping. Having said that, the ski is super tough. If you want to buy a ski for jibbing only, this ski is sick..but it isn't the ideal ski for all around park.

This ski is awesome. When I first got it, I felt like it was super stiff, and I was skiing pretty crud/spring conditions at snowbird. It handled the entire mountain really well because of how stiff it is. Now that skiing has started again, I am skiing this ski on rails at Park city. The thing I now notice about this ski is that it is super poppy. Even though it is stiff, it is a really playful ski. It is pretty hard to nose butter this ski because of its stiff flex pattern, but it really is a sick, underrated ski.

This is probably the best boot I have ever used. 3 piece boots like Dalbello and Full tilt make are the past and future of skiing. There are 2 things that I love about this boot. First, the boot has an Intuition Gold I.D. liner. This is the lightest, warmest, and most fully customizable liner on the market. It also is the stiffest of all intuition liners. The liner can mold better to the shape of your feet than any other heat moldable liner on the market. The second thing that I love about this boot is the 3 buckle design. Instead of a 2 top buckles and 2 toe buckles, this boot has 1 top buckle, 1 toe buckle, and 1 instep buckle. The instep buckle (Dynalink) helps hold your heel into place so you can't get toe bang. Also, having the tongue be separate from the rest of the boot helps you to not get shin bang. Every problem I used to experience with my old boots disappeared when I got this boot. One word of caution..this boot is for fairly narrow feet only!

I skied this ski at The Canyons today. They only had one run open and part of it was a park. The ski was a little bit stiffer than I expected...but it still slayed it. It skis a little bit more like a big mountain ski than a park ski..but it definitely handled the park fine. If I could only own one pair of skis to do everything..and I skied about 70% powder/crud and 30% park I would really consider buying this ski.

Because the Axial2 Freeride 150 has more metal in it than the Axial2 140 ti..it is a much heavier binding. Having said that, it is also a much more bomber binding. There is less plastic to break on this binding. There are some new bindings out this year, like the SAS2 140 binding that would be lighter than this, and still be pretty bomber. But if you want an 8-15 DIN binding and you want it to be super strong, this binding is an awesome choice. I love how Rossignol bindings have the highest elasticity of any binding on the market, which makes you fall out of the binding less, but still allows you to come out when you need them to release.

This is the same ski as last years Steeze. It is an incredible ski. I have to say, I liked last years graphic better though. This ski can handle anything, but it excels in powder. If you want a crud buster I would get something a little stiffer.

These are great bindings for almost anyone. They are lighter weight than the more burly rossignol/look bindings, but they aren't so watered down that you don't get a great binding. These (and the scratch version of this binding) are great for park skiers, all mountain skiers, and even freeriders. If you feel you need a more burly binding, then step it up to the 150 or the 180 (which will be heavier since it has more metal in it), but for most expert skiers the Axial 2 140 binding is perfect.

I haven't used this jacket in any rain or anything, but just got back from a hike/trail run session with it and thought I would write a review. I have had the jacket for a few weeks, I haven't had any problems with the rubber popping out of the YKK zippers, this jacket is so lightweight it is amazing, I don't know that it is actually a softshell, since Helly Hansen calls it a windbreaker, but it gets the job done. The elastic zones under the armpit, from what I can tell are to help it breath better, and help it move better. I have no problem moving as much as I need to in this jacket. The green color is awesome, for real. I have no complaints with this jacket. One thing I found to be weird, is that where the hood adjustment cords are, there seems to be a thin layer of poly/cotton which immediately pulled out of the jacket when I washed it once, maybe it was there for packing purposes? I have no idea, it seemed weird, but oh well, it works and doesn't seem to change the jacket at all. I can't think of anything bad to say about this jacket. It was a pretty chilly day on my trail run this morning, splashing through water, and hiking overs some left over snow patches, I didn't get hot and I felt like the jacket has great breathability, however, since it wasn't a hot day it didn't get tested all the way. If you want a softshell quality jacket at a low price, this jacket is awesome!

Great price for a great ski. These skis are really stiff, way stiffer than almost every other park ski, including public enemys. This ski is fun to ski with on all terrain. Unfortunately it is May, so all the terrain parks are closed, but I still had fun jumping on it, but I couldn't give the ski a true "park test". I wasn't as comforatable skiing crud fast as I am on a pair of powder skis, but they did handle extremely well for a park ski. After i fine tune some of the edges this ski should be perfect. I can't wait to see how it jumps, but that will have to wait for a future date. If you want a buttery ski, look elsewhere, but if you want a park ski that can still handle the rest of the mountain without being too fat, this is a great ski for you.

I skied these skis in some of the worst conditions possible to ski a double reverse ski (reverse camber and reverse side cut). On anything hardpacked these skis pretty much suck. I know that they have a little bit of tradition sidecut under the foot, but if you try to set a carve on something fairly steep it isn't going to work. Once you get used to the ski you learn that you just have to slide and drag the tail to turn on really hard snow. When I did find some left over powder from a few days before and some crud snow these skis did rip though, which makes me really want to give them a go in Powder. These are one ski that I would never give to a novice or intermediate skier and say "go ski", because although most skis are manageable for someone at those ability levels, this one is not. All I can say is be careful on groomed snow!

P.S. I never would have guessed that they are 88mm underfoot, they felt skinnier.

I like this shirt. I don't know why, it is just a cool shirt I guess. The little target behind the armpit is radical. The logo is like fuzzy, it isn't a normal screen print, so that makes it extra dope. I am not sure what else to say about a shirt. I wear a Large in pretty much all brands and Oakley stands true with it. This is a little slim fit that I sometimes like, but it is cool.

The BLOC makes them limited and retro. If you don't want a head turner go with the regular crowbar, but BLOC makes them that much steezier. Pink Irdium lens lets 57% of light come through the lens which works well in all but the brightest conditions. The goggles are super comfortable and work with alot of helmets. I think that these fit people of any face size, better than the wisdom and a-frame.

These are the most comfortable goggles I have ever owned. In fact, I own multiple pairs. I gave my polarized version 4 stars rather than 5 because I don't feel that the polarized lens is necessary for skiing. This is not to say that I don't like the polarized lens. It works great to let my lens be slightly less tinted but my eyes still don't hurt. In that aspect the polarization is great, my only complaint is that a polarized lens can sometimes make it difficult to distinguish the difference between ice and snow. Polarized lenses are designed to block out reflected light off of horizontal surfaces, but when you don't see light reflected off of ice, then you basically can't see ice as well. Either way, the optical clarity of these lenses is awesome, and for a powder day you don't have to worry too much about ice anyway.

I love this softshell, it seems quite a bit more waterproof than some softshells I have seen, yet it is still stretchy and soft inside. My one complaint with this jacket is that it isn't as comfortable as some jackets when you zip it up all the way, maybe I just need a bigger size but it feels restrictive on the chin.

I like these sandals a lot. They fit pretty true to size from what I can tell. The toes at the end arch up a little bit, so they are a little more comfortable to walk in than a lot of thong type sandals. The grey ones get dirty quickly. Other than that, they are sick!

These poles are super awesome. I like the strap system the best of all. The pink graphics are super sweet. If you go off of the Pole Length Calculator, it is a little bit long. I am 5'11, the 120 is a little long, but really nice for powder, definitely too long for park though, or maybe I just need to get used to the length. The straps work really well because they are so easy to adjust.

I bought this because I was often skiing in my puffy coat, and it would make me pretty sweaty. Whenever I would get sweaty I would start get really hot and then really cold and I would feel not so good. When I bought this my problem went away, so I would Highly Recommend it.

This is one of my favorite sweatshirts, it is really pretty warm. The things that I do not like about it is that letters are made out of felt so they attract lint pretty easily, also the thread on the letters is pretty thin and I always feel like they are going to break. The hood is screen printed inside, so it isn't soft like some other hoodies. The zipper is on the wrong side, so sometimes you feel like you are zipping up a girls sweatshirt. If you want this sweatshirt for style and not performance, then it is SICK.

These socks are super awesome, the toes and heel have merino wool so they are super warm and not itchy. I bought ski boots in a mens size 8.5 and I wear a mens size 11 shoe. I needed a sock that could keep me warm and not take up much room, since I am PACKED into the ski boot, these socks work great for this. They don't have uncomfortable seams, and they are radical.

These shorts are so awesome! I love to wear them because they are so sick. They fit true to size and hit just below the kneecap. The design on them is sick and EVERYONE should own a pair. I hope that Plaid never goes out of style!

I skied these in the park last week (the bling, which looking at the dimensions is the same ski with a new graphic). I have an injury so I couldn't really jump on them, but I did get a feel for them and messed around on them. They don't have the WRS core like the other Rossignol park skis do so they are heavier, their edge is also thinner than most park skis edges, so I can see that becoming a problem if you slide a ton of rails etc. This ski isn't really fat enough to float very well in powder in my opinion, if you want a powder ski get the Rossignol Scratch Steeze. It is a great ski though if you want a park ski that can kind of ski everywhere. For being so cheap, I don't think you can go wrong.

For the price this receives a 5, but I didn't give it a 5 because there are obviously better headlamps. This one is nice because it runs off of AAA batteries so they are easily replaced, and it seems to last a long time on those. We used these in some old tunnels in the rain forest. They lit up enough to see about 6 feet ahead of you, which was enough to walk, if you want a super bright headlamp don't get this one, if you want a water resistent headlamp at a low price that will be durable while taking adventures, then get this one.

This shirt fits really tight..except in the neck where it fits really loose

These shorts fit VERY true to size. perfect baggy fit. Long length. Sick plaid design. You cannot go wrong with these!

The Good: Your hands don't get hot in them. They are very grippy. They work pretty much everywhere. Super light weight. The Bad: They fit true to size, but if you do get them in your normal size, the ventilated mesh will want to dig into your knuckles which isn't extremely painful, but it is not comfortable.

This hoodie easily has one of the coolest graphical patterns of any hoodie I have seen. The only reason I gave it a 4/5 is because the material is different than what I expected, and the way the zipper comes to a close at the top almost makes the hoodie seem like it has a collar, which is weird. All in all though, I still wear the hoodie alot because I like it a lot. 9/10

These pants are the best pants I have ever owned. Ski edges/rails will cut them up pretty easily, but other than that they are perfect. Super baggy. Windproof. Waterproof. Breathable. Easy to unzip vents. Sick color. You can't go wrong with these pants.

These skis are great in the deep snow conditions they are meant for. One complaint is that it is a bit harder to find the sweet spot when dropping cliffs, since the tail rocker wants to throw you way backseat. Other than that, they float really well in super deep pow, and they are way buttery. This is not the ski for someone who wants to be skiing super fast really hard in crud, but it is the ski for someone skiing more mellow slopes, pillows, etc in super deep pow. Oh yeah, and they carve really well on groomers too.

This shirt is awesome. It has a little bit more of a tall fit than a wide fit, so it fits perfectly for someone who wants that type of a t-shirt. The pattern on the shirt is awesome. One of my favorite Oakley T-shirts

The Backcountry.com Inbounds Glove is my favorite glove. No, it isn't goretex. No, it isn't super insulated, but that doesn't matter with this glove. The Leather is really thick, but not bulky feeling at all. This is honestly the best fitting glove I have ever used. I usually wear a medium-large in most gloves and i wear a size medium in this glove. My hand is 7.5 inches long and 8 inches around. On warm days they can get a little sweaty but they liner dries out super quick because it is Merino Wool. I have used this glove 10 or 12 times and it is holding up great. The cuff will feel tight at first and hard to get on, but it stretches out over time and becomes easier to get on your hand. Once it is on your hand it feels great! I can't say enough good about this glove.

These are the best goggles ever. They fit just about everyone's face, no matter the size. They have the best optical clarity of any goggle on the market. They are impact resistant and achieve impact protection that meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards while filtering out 100% of all UV. So they are basicaly a "safety goggle" with sport performance, and they look really really really cool.

This hat is so sick. I wish I could own it in all the colors because they are all so sick. Nomis is such a legit brand. The fabric on this is very thick and durable, and anything made by New Era 59-50 is just so awesome

This ski is awesome. When I first got it, I felt like it was super stiff, and I was skiing pretty crud/spring conditions at snowbird. It handled the entire mountain really well because of how stiff it is. Now that skiing has started again, I am skiing this ski on rails at Park city. The thing I now notice about this ski is that it is super poppy. Even though it is stiff, it is a really playful ski. It is pretty hard to nose butter this ski because of its stiff flex pattern, but it really is a sick, underrated ski.

I like this jacket, it fits the same as every other Oakley Jacket. The blue and white is really nice looking. Chest vents are cool, rather than under the arm. I can't wait to use it.

I got this in an XL, it fits awesome. I am 5'11" 170 lbs. I usually wear a large t-shirt but I wanted a baggier fit in this blue color. I love this hoody! If you don't want a baggy fit I guess L would do you well.

These Watson Slippers are super soft, their sole feels thicker than the regular sidewalk surfers, and they kept my feet warm on a rainy day. They are basically like wearing slippers to school..in a socially acceptable way.

While moving, I found this shirt in one of my drawers, I remember buying it, but must have forgotten about it. It is a good shirt, fits normal, and the Russian Oakley letters will have you saying прохладный рубашку.

My brother has these. I own the Sanuk Donny shoe. His are a size 10. Mine are a size 11. I generally wear a size 10.5-11 shoe, but was unsure what to get in these, since I don't wear socks with them. I am glad that I got a size 11. I have worn these 10's, my toe touches the end, which isn't bad because it is soft, but it is just much harder to get on in the ankle area. That is my 2 cents on the sizing.

A lot of times after wearing headphones for a few hours your ears can start to hurt either towards the top of the ear or at the lobe. I haven't used these headphones while listening to music, but I did watch a few episodes of Heroes with them on my friends computer. They were comforatable the whole time, to the point that I almost forgot I had headphones on. I wish I could have tested them with some music for this review, but I didn't. So far, so good.

These park skis are awesome! I had been skiing on some older park skis that I had been using for a few years, I took a step onto these skis and it was a night and day difference, I was popping higher in the pipe, and it was just an over-all great experience. If you want a park ski that is great for all mountain, I am sure you can find some better ones than this, since it is pretty soft, but if you want a park ski only for the park, and you don't mind the explicit graphics, then this is a great ski.

These headphones are great for the price. Now, I am not sure if I have the SkullCandy Icon or the SkullCandy recruit, but according to www.skullcandy.com, they are the exact same thing, so i will write this review for both of them. Anyway, for their price they are a great lightweight, low profile set of cool looking headphones. The only design flaw for me is that they don't fold up very small, so it is kind of nerve-racking to just throw them in your pack or car or whatever. I am pretty careful with mine, but not over protective of them. Mine haven't broken yet, so they must be pretty durable even without the fold up feature.

For the price of these headphones, they area a great deal. They are really cool looking, and it looks like skull candy has added way more colors from the time that I bought mine. Mine are the Mac Red color, which I bought last summer. Anyway, the sound quality isn't great. Sure, when you are out skiing or something, the sound works fine. Try plugging them into your laptop on the plane or something though and you won't be able to hear your movie. The deep bass isn't there on these either, which is kind of disappointing, considering their size. Now, I have been bashing on their quality quite a bit. I think that for an airplane something like a noise canceling headphone is better anyway, so there is no reason really to take these for that use. The nice thing about these about these headphones is how small they fold down for a pair of headphones of their size, and also the comfort and weight. They are super light weight and very comfortable. They are also really cool looking. If you will be using these during a sport, they are really cool. I guess these features are why it is worth it to have a pair, and why I didn't give it less than 3 stars.

Really good shoes. I usually wear a size 10.5 or 11 shoe, I was worried about which size to get, since you don't have to wear socks with these. I got size 11, my brother has some 10.0's in another Sanuk shoe. I am glad I went with the 11. My toes hit the end in his, and it is harder to slip on. The 11 is great. The Tan has a lot more orange in it than shown in the picture, it looks like 70's carpet or something, it is really sweet. I recommend Sanuk's to everyone!

These bindings are awesome. I have used quite a few bindings, and when it comes down to it, Rossignol and Look make the best products in my opinion. This binding is lighter than my Rossignol Axial 150 Freeride bindings (although it doesn't have the full metal toe), but I still feel secure in them. If you want to save a few pounds, and aren't worried about having a Freeride burly bindings, this is a great way to go. After seeing other brands of bindings break and malfunction, I don't know if I can ever mount a pair of non high-end Look or Rossignol bindings on my skis, we will have to see, but for now, I am sticking with these.

Alright, just to start out my review, you should know that I am a skier, however I borrowed these boots and my friends board/binding setup one day so that I could try snowboarding. Compared to my ski boots and other snowboard boots I have tried on, these boots felt really light weight, and really comfortable. I did wish a little bit though that you could tighten the boot up around the shin a little bit more, but maybe having the boot be the right size, instead of shoe size, would have made that better. All in all, this felt like a really soft boot for me, but maybe that is just my feet being used to a ski boot. I think you will like this boot.

I like this hat a lot. If you are a skier you should buy this hat, because Armada is a really cool company, and this is a really cool hat. And because it is flex fit, you know it will fit nicely. I have quite a few hats, and this is one of my favorites.

This movie is really interesting, it shows all of the stops of the U.S. Freeskiing Nationals and really gives you a better perspective of what goes on there. I really liked the Snowbird part, because, well, I ski there, and it is always really cool to see on film some lines that you can recognize. It is worthwhile to see this movie.

I used this bag on a really rainy day on a really wet hike in Kauai. It kept my camera dry, until I started opening and closing the bag too much, but I did find that it did work as it was supposed to. If your camera has a lens that retracts from the main body of the camera, you might find this pretty awkward to use underwater, as it will be difficult for the lens to extend all the way. It is also awkward to find the shutter on the camera, when the bag is being pushed open all the way. However, if you want a way to keep valuables dry, and even attempt to snap some underwater photos, this is a nice cheap way to do so!

I use these for sports, and under my boardshorts while wakeboarding. I have found that many boardshorts are see through when they get wet, so I wear a black pair of these underneath because they dry fairly quickly, and they keep the swim suit from being see through. In sports and while lifting weights they are great because they do their job. I am now on my second pair, as I have used this product for quite a while, and they are great!

They do keep me warm, except for on really really cold days, but I guess a thicker sock would probably make that worse, and the coldness I think actually comes from a problem with my boots, and not the socks. These are really nice socks, I also recommend the Darn Tough Merino Wool Ski Sock, as I have had great luck with those as well.

I like these shorts. I have only worn them once so far. The tag on them says "slim fit", but wearing them I guess that just means that they are a straight cut. They are longer than other Oakley casual shorts I have had in the past, which is a huge plus!

I used this ski on probably the worst day you can ski on them. They chatter a little bit, but mostly in the tip, which is rockered anyway, so it doesn't matter, because you don't feel it. On super icy steeps they don't handle well at all, but on groomers and crud they handle great. They felt like a pretty playful ski, but in powder that would probably be more apparent. I rode the 189, but at my size the 179 would be a little better. They were a really heavy ski, I am used to skiing a 185 Rossignol Scratch Steeze, but the Pontoon just felt super heavy.

Good product, You get lots of compliments on it because it stands out, however, the black Logo inside the belt buckle fell off of mine after 6 months or so. Either way, a belt is a belt, and if you like Armada, support them and buy it.

Almost every part of this movie is awesome, the big mountain parts get pretty repetitive, but since it is DVD you can skip them and focus mostly on the craziest jibs you have ever seen. One of the better movies of the year!

I didn't like this movie as much as some of TGR's other movies. There were some sick parts, don't get me wrong, but too many boring parts for my taste. From TGR Anomaly is much better. This year I would check out "Yeah Dude" from PBP or IDEA from Iberg. But if you hate tricks then I guess tick with this TGR flick

I usually wear a size Large in Oakley pants, but the insulation makes these feel a little tight and an XL would be more appropriate, that is how I feel anyway. Other than that, the pants are nice and warm and super steezy and I recommend getting them. The vent opens up all the way from leg to leg and a secondary zipper even opens up the netting in the vent, so you can really let the air come in. They are awesome pants, and well insulated.

You are lucky if you can fit 3 or 4 pairs of skis on this rack. Unless you are using skis from before 1991 you cannot fit 6 pairs of skis on here. On top of that, most pairs of skis are too thick for the mechanism to be shut over your skis and hold them stable on the rack. The bottom rack doesn't even open so good luck wedging a twin tip in there. This rack would have been decent 15 years ago, but now there are much better items. Just get a rack for the top of your car.

These are good socks. I like to own alot of ski socks, you can't have too many. These are moving their way up my list of favorite ski socks, who knows..they may soon become my favorite. The wool sees to be higher quality than some wools I have seen on socks.

They say it is slim fit, I would disagree. It isn't baggy or anything, but I have way slimmer fitting t-shirts. To be honest, I don't like slim fit that much, but I love this shirt. Support one of the best ski brands ever made and purchase this shirt now. You know you want to!

I am having a hard time making this work on my presta valves. I usually end up using someone elses... I am not too stoked on this.

Comfortable. I don't like to take them off. They aren't obtrusive and constricting like some long underwears. The waffle knit is really nice too. Throw away your cotton and get a real base layer. This is a nice option cause the price is cheap. Go for it!

This is such a nice thermal top. Feels nice against the skin. Waffle texture helps wick moisture. Polyester keeps your temperature at a nice spot. I used to wear cotton, last year I switched to polyester. I couldn't believe the difference, especially on a powder day. Go for it, you won't regret it.

I wanted a khaki shirt, so I bought this khaki shirt. This is a cool shirt. Sizing is normal. I mean, who wouldn't want a shirt this cool. Buy it!

I own this shirt in LS and SS. I like them both. In fact I am wearing my LS version as I write the review. It is a cool design cause people don't automatically know what it is, except really cool people see the tram tower and freak out cause it is so awesome. I recommend this shirt. Fit is like any other shirt. I wear Large in anything, including this.

These are decent pants, nothing special. I really only bought them because Volcom only has 2 pairs of Lime Green pants, and I didn't want to spend 220 bucks on the other pair. I wanted something a little higher quality than these, but I am surprised by their performance. The 3000mm waterproof works fine for this dry Utah snow..and all I am really worried about for these is their steeze.

Superlight socks are the way to go, the padding on the shin helps against shin bang. Super thin Merino keeps your feet warm. They don't stink even after a few days. These socks are a nice way to get a thin sock and keep your ski boot fit dialed in.

These feel like you are wearing sandals, yet you are wearing a shoe. Great for the person who needs to let their feet relax after surfing or snowboarding or skiing all day. They are stylish to wear almost anywhere but relaxed enough to wear while hanging out. They are the perfect shoe. If such a thing exists.

This jacket is totally shradical. The neon colors, the baggy fit, the pit zips. It is one of the most awesome shells on the market. Dual tones of greens on the arms make the neon glow, and if you are in any photoshoots you will stick out like a sore thumb...which is exactly what you need to show up on film. Go for it, buy the jacket.

I prefer the white color in this shirt. The Black was made to look kind of bleached and stuff on the outside, kind of like the Factory Pirate shirt, the white is a little bit off white color. This isn't the slimmest fist Oakley shirt, but it isn't the roomiest fit either. I like the graphic regardless.

I love to wear my under armor underneath my boardshorts, they let me move enough to wakeboard, slalom water ski and play swimming pool basketball. Although in these sports you don't need as much support as jump roping or anything of that sort, it is nice to have the extra support and protection. The nice thing about getting the black ones is that you can wear them underneath your white boardshorts and they guard against see through trouble. They dry fairly quick and that is a lot better than wearing regular boxers underneath your boardshorts for sure. I also wear these in other sports as well and they are sweet. Everyone should own at least 1 pair.

I bought this because I seem to buy a lot of Oakley stuff, and I needed a good bike Jersey. When I first bought it I thought to myself, "Man, this looks kind of weird on me". That is because it has 3/4 length sleeves and looks really weird by itself. By the time I was all suited up to go riding though, I realized how sweet is was. The material wicks away sweat really well, and even though it was a warm day that I rode a 1300 foot vertical climb in Bells Canyon, i wasn't too sweaty. On the way down the long sleeves proved to be a benefit. They felt as cool as wearing a short sleeve shirt but my arms were more protected from the brush as I descended. I recommend this jersey to anyone that wants a sweet 3/4 bike jersey, and needs one cheap.

I like these shorts a lot. I don't wear them a whole lot because I think the graphics on some of my other shorts are cooler. These fit very true to size from what I can tell. You can't go wrong when you are rocking Bruce Iron's pro shorts. The Volcom logo down the side is nice. I really like the zipper fly. A lot of boardshorts have a hook and loop closure, but with the zipper fly you don't get the lump of hook and loop.

These shorts are awesome. The Salmon color is sick. It is just like the atlas camo jacket from oakley, but in a boardshort. It is way cool and fits true to size. Definitley buy these if you want to roll in style.

I bought this shirt cause it looked super steezy, and it is. My only complaint is that it doesn't fit like most Dakine Shirts. This shirt is slim fit, so the large fits more like a medium. I still wear it quite a bit though, just not as much as some of my other dakine shirts.

I bought this shirt a few weeks ago, before leaving town. I am currently wearing the shirt as it has quickly become one of my favorites over time. If I could wear this shirt every day, I would, unfortunately most people look at me funny if I show up to class two days in a row with the same shirt on...which is one of the only reasons I don't wear it more often. Buy this shirt, it is super steezy and Dakine is super high quality in their shirts.

Solitude really describes the experience that you will have at this resort. There are virtually no lift lines, and Honey Comb Canyon has more than enough awesome terrain. If you are spending a few days anywhere near Utah, then check out Solitude for a truly Solitude Experience.

The name of this resort is Solitude, and if you want a solitude skiing experience (no lift lines, etc.), check this ski resort out. They have some sick terrain as well in the world famous Honey Comb Canyon, and is a very family friendly resort. I learned to ski at this resort 16 years ago when I was 5 years old.

Alta ski resort gets over 500 inches of snow each year, and there is more than enough terrain to go ski it. ALTA IS FOR SKIERS though, so if you board, dont buy this pass, if you ski, the resort is awesome, one of the best in the world.

This resort has the best terrain park in Utah! If you love park skiing then go here. Also, for the rest of you, since the Parks are on the lower parts of the mountain, everywhere is an uncrowded paradise. Go check out park city, the town is cool and so is the resort.

This is the perfect place to go ski around with your family. 3600 acres is more than enough terrain to ski for a lifetime. In a short trip here, it is almost impossible to ski all of their terrain. They are a really fun resort, and especially family oriented.

The best thing about the skiing at the Canyons is how big it is. You can spend days on end at this resort, and still not manage to ski all of their runs. Their terrain park isn't the best in Utah, but it is decent nonetheless. Go ski the Canyons if you are spending a few days in Utah and you want uncrowded family fun.

Snowbird is one of the sickest ski resorts in the world. They have it steep and deep. If you are headed anywhere near Utah, you need to check out Little Cottonwood Canyon and SKI THE BIRD!!! I have a seasons pass there almost every year.

I like this hat a lot. I wear it probably a little TOO much. The dollar sign makes it look super cool. It is a flex-fit hat, so it fits really nicely without having to adjust anything in the back. The hat is tall like a baseball styled had, but I think that it looks really good.

If you have ever ordered anything from Tramdock.com, then you know that it is a high quality, fast company. Support such a company and buy this t-shirt. It seems to be a high quality t-shirt, I haven't had any problems with mine. You can never have too many t-shirts, and at this price you can't go wrong. This shirt also makes a great gift for skiers. If you are at a loss on what to get, this might just be your answer. Support your online ski shop, and buy this t-shirt.

The colors on this headband, as you can see, are rather abstract. If you like line skis, then you know that this is the style that they are all about. If you like what it looks like on the web page, then you will like what it looks like on you as well. I won it at a ski movie premier. I wear it around sometimes. It is not my favorite headband, but it is definitely warmer than most that I have. Just buy it because you can't go wrong with a headband that is on sale for almost $11. It will keep you warm, and give you a distinct style, all of your own. I can tell that it is a high quality headband, I don't see anything wrong with it, other than some people don't like the colors.

I would not rank this movie as the #1 ski movie that I have seen PBP produce, but it is definitely one of the best. They always have a really good soundtrack, and really well edited movies. There are some really creative segments, for example, be sure not to miss J.P. Auclair's part towards the end of the movie. PBP has been in the movie industry long enough, that you don't have to be afraid to buy their product, it is always good.

I liked this movie a lot because it encompasses the entire sport of free skiing. A lot of movies just show clips over and over of the same handrails in a downtown Canadian city, while other ski movies just show the same big mountain line after big mountain line. This movie is awesome because it shows the best of both worlds. The big mountain lines are awesome, some are so sketchy. The park and urban shots are cool as well. If you want to see one of the best ski movies ever made, then buy this one immediately, before it is too late.

This is definitely not the best ski movie that I have ever seen, but nevertheless it is really good. It isn't the best ski movie to watch at a party, or at a premier, or anything like that, because it is really slow moving, more like a documentary, but it shows some world class skiing from world class skiers, and it is interesting because it follows a story. Definitely worth seeing.

I used this goggle for the first time today. The high intensity lens made things look really clear, without causing me to go blind in the snow. If you have a really wide face it might feel like the edges of the goggle are really close to your eyes. Other than that, it fills up quite a bit of your face. It seems to have a strong frame as well, it really got tested hard today.

I bought this shirt, one for me and one for my Dad. It does run a tiny bit small, but not so much that you need to go up a size. The Goat Logo really makes a cool statement about who you are as well. If you love being outdoors, buy this shirt so that everyone knows it!

I like this bag very much. I use it up at the University almost on a daily basis. The laptop sleeve is suspended slightly, making it very difficult to bang my laptop by dropping it on the floor too fast. Also, I like being able to take a few cans to class in the built in cooler. The bag is also very good looking for any student.

I have been using this goggle for a few years. I have the Blue A-frame with fire lenses, and they are the best goggles. They are super steezy and have a good fit for almost any size of face. They look good and feel good. They have nice vents, so they only fog up on the hottest of tram rides. I love this goggle and recommend it to EVERYONE!!!

I bought this Oakley jacket. I was looking for a really cool down jacket. I bought the black one and it is really cool. I took it up skiing the other day in SUPER cold weather, and I was super toasty all day long. Its got a really baggy look to it, so if you like that GET THIS JACKET.

These jeans are pretty awesome. I have never used a jean with "Stretch Denim" before. I have to say, they weren't as stretchy as I imagined, but they did allow me to move. I have skated in them a few times, and, while I am not very good at skating, they worked great. The one thing that looks weird to me on the jeans sometimes is the gold stitching, it kind of follows a different pattern than I am used to, but it still is pretty cool. I don't like the stitching up towards the waist of the pants, but my shirt and belt hide most of that anyway. These are my first Element jeans, they seem to fit true to size to other brands I have tried. I will probably buy more Element jeans in the future. This specific pair is fairly baggy, not too baggy, but definitely not slim fit, which is good in my opinion.

I was afraid to use this binding while skiing really hard, because it is a touring binding. Although the plate makes it feel stiffer underfoot so you can't feel the ski flex as much, it isn't THAT noticeable. This is hands down the first touring binding I would buy if I needed one that can handle skiing more than it can handle climbing. I have not used the AT feature on this binding yet.

The Tramdock Logo T-shirt is a Tall Tee! It is slightly tighter fitting than most XL's but alot longer, which is perfect!!!! Finally, more companies making tall tees! This t-shirt is sick with a super sick logo placement!

This is one of my favorite ski movies of all time. Charlie Ager kills it throughout the entire thing. Pretty good soundtrack. Short but awesome, perfect length. I highly recommend this movie over almost any other!

I used these goggles for years. They held up great. I used them with both a persimmon lens and a Fire Iridium Lens. The only reason I gave them 4 stars is because now that I use the Oakley Crowbar, I would never go back to the A-frame. The Crowbar just gives a better field of vision, and is just as comforatable.

These were an alright ski, but for some reason, I felt that they were too stiff, especially in the tip, for what they were meant for. I have skied both the 4Frnt VCT and the Rossignol Steeze extensively, and in powder I would pick the Steeze. For Crud I would pick the VCT, and for all mountain I would pick the Steeze. I am not saying that I hated this ski, but I felt that in the tip it was too stiff to be deflected by ice and too stiff to really float in pow. I did not get to ski this ski in very deep snow though, so I cannot say that my review is extensive.

I bought this because my other one started leaking, it lasted 4 years or so before it started to leak, it only started to leak because I put it in boiling water after mold gathered in it when I forgot to clean it in Central America, so I ruined it myself, I guess I got what was coming to me. Oh well, I bought this and it works great! Thumbs UP!

Biking with good gear is awesome. I like this jersey. The collar seems kind of wired shaped, but I can't complain because it still looks good and performs. It also looks great with a pair of Oakley bike shorts, so hook it up.
