i haven't had a chance to board in these yet but the quality is amazing. they fit like a dream. all the other snowboarding pants that I've had are either too baggy and made it look like i was wearing a long skirt or it weren't baggy enough. the rise is also perfect, it's not a high rise like something out of the 80s and its not super low where you'd be too exposed. i'm 5'5 120, normally i wear size 2 (in Old Navy) and size 2 or 4 in American Eagle, i got a size small for these pants and i still had a lot of room to work with. if you're looking for the perfect snowboarding pants this is it.

this is my new fav jacket. it fits true to size and the details on there are amazing. i got the black w/ pink one and the picture doesnt do the jacket justice. the length of this jacket is perfect... its not too short and its not too long. if youre looking for the perfect snowboarding jacket then look no further.

i love the style. the sound quality is pretty decent. this beats wearing headphones because it still allows me to hear whats going on around me. it took me a while to get used to the helmet, at first it wasnt too comfortable but now i really love it. fits most goggles without the clip on straps. i used a spy soldier and they go great with this helmet. no gaps.

the love: its very responsive. its got a really cute design. its easy to strap in and out. its everything i could ever ask for in a binding. the hate: i dont know what it is about k2's bindings (and boots!!) but it keeps crapping out on me. on two separate occasions i've had to use my emergency zip ties to fix missing screws!! no matter what i do, every once in a while i'll find myself @ssed out at the top of the mountain with a part of a binding in my hand. keep in mind i've only had these bindings for 1 year. i always check everything before i go on the lifts. but i dunno... loose screws like to screw with me. i dont know if k2 still design their screws with the triangle head... those are so annoying, there is no way to tighten those without a special tool.

i dont know what it is with k2's boots, but i got a pair of the secret last year and rode it for one season and the leather is already cracking and the rubber on the toe is coming apart and the loops that you lace the shoe laces through are about to go. its a really comfortable boot. its got a really cute design too but i dunno... maybe its a quality thing. i think i'm about to retire my secrets after the end of this season... that is, if they even last that long.

Horrible. The arm holes are huge; I'd have to wear a separate tank top underneath. The sizing is all wrong. Normally I'm a small. I stand at 5'5 120, but I think I should have gone xxs in this case. Order two sizes down.

i'm a pretty small girl and i got this in a m, i wanted it to have a baggy fit. the big buttons are cute but got annoying eventually. its a good sweatshirt to wear up in the slops just as long as you can stay dry. the print is cute and its got a pretty large hood... which i love.

i love this jacket! its pretty warm and the pearl patterned lining is amazing!! its soooooo soft, i love rubbing my face up against it. i love the quality of 686 clothing. lots of pockets to put my stuff. *thumbs up*

this bag is big but not THAT big. i use this for day trips on the weekends when i head up to bear mtn. its big enough for a change of clothes, snowboarding jacket, goggle (2), gloes (2), impact gear, and other stuff that you might or might not need. this is def not big enough for an extended trip, overnight might work... depending on how much bathroom stuff you like to bring. oh, the boot compartment is awesome. i can totally throw away my old "boot bag" now.

the lining of the jacket makes it pretty warm. i love the checked out design. the size does run big but i wanted it to fit baggy so i got a M.

these gloves dont waterproof very well. if youre rolling around in the snow your hands will get wet after like 5 seconds. however, its a park glove... if you dont crash and burn too much then these are perfect for spring conditions.

i was so looking forward to getting these in the mail but once i tried it on i knew it was gonna be "one of those". these are pretty heavy... they slide down my nose a lot. i have a pretty small face and it still feels kinda tight. other than the fit... these look awesome, i just wish they were more comfortable.

these are my favorite pair of snowboarding socks... hands down. they are so much better than the smartwools. they are sooooo thick and soooo warm. these look awesome when pulled over your base layer.

i think the sound quality is pretty good, not as good as bose of course but youre getting a little more than what you pay for with the lowrider. i love the colorful design, its overall a good bang for the buck. but i dont get how people can snowboard with these, there are paddings at the top and when you strap these down to your goggles... it just feels really weird. or maybe i just have an odd shaped head. i use these when i travel.

the picture of the gray shorts when you first click on to the page is wrong, you gotta actually click on the actual gray icon to get the actual picture of the RED impact shorts. these impact shorts are not that great. they have a pad on each side to protect the hip bones and then one on the back to protect the trail bone. i wish there were more butt cheek protection. i believe the guy version of these shorts have more padding!! i didnt bother returning these because i "feel" safer when i have these on, its more like a mental thing. i suggest looking into protec impact shorts, the padding there is more sufficient.

i swore to myself i would never wear anything else on the slopes except my for spy soldiers.... that is until i purchased these babies. they are super comfortable and even i have to admit... oakley makes better lenses than spy. my only complaint would be that i keep snagging my hair on the strap clip.

i disagree with hobo66, i didn't find these shades heavy... not at all. when i first ordered them i thought they were going to be heavy but they are in fact fairly light. way lighter than any of my spy sunglasses. it comes with a really cool case. these fit my face perfectly, but i have a pretty small face. i just wish the lenses were even bigger.... =P

these are big but not too big. the quality is great, the lenses are awesome. super clear. its an overall the simple design make these a timeless pair of shades imo. it even comes with a hard leather case that fits perfectly in my car's cup holder.

i wish the buckle was a little big bigger because i love big buckled belts. it looks great and matches with everything. if you're looking for a hot belt, this is it.

this jacket is very similar to the Oakley spontaneous jacket. this one however is a bit more plain (detailwise) but everything else is almost identical. i bought the hazel one, and the liner is not white, its more of a khaki/beige color. fits a little baggy, so size down if you don't want that park fit thing going on. very warm, the liner is sooo soft, the water proofing is great, i was able to stay dry even though i was crash landing most of my jumps and swimming in the snow. its a great jacket well worth the price!

i absolutely love my Oakley riddle. these glasses are great for taking up to the slopes, especially on those really sunny days. they do a great job of shading my eyes on the drive up to big bear at 7 in the morning. remove the goggles during lunch and pop these babies on, i inhale my hot dog and Redbull/vodka in style. there are absolute no distortion of vision what so ever, so just in case you leave your goggles at home, i have no doubt that these make a great pair of goggle replacements. the frame is also super durable. these are the best shades for snowboarding trips.

this jacket is awesome. Oakley never disappoints me with their snowboarding jackets/pants. i got the white one, then almost regretted the decision thinking it might be too plain. however: not true. this jacket has a a lot of cute details. buttons, seams, and other little details here and there. i love the powder skirt, it keeps the snow from going down my pants. this jacket fits kind of big. i got the small and it was kinda baggy for me. esp without the liner the jacket was even more baggy. so size down if you a more feminine fit. my only complaint is that there are no hand warmer/guards. i wish it came with those so i can also keep the snow from going into my gloves. great jacket, well worth the money.

i got the small and being a girl, my arms are a lot smaller. these fit pretty well under a jacket. but since my arms are smaller they kept sliding down. this is def good enough for catching edges going down the slope but i would go for something more heavy duty for the boxes/pipes and bigger jumps. bottomline: not bulky, pretty comfortable, but not for anything too hardcore.

i love my checked out Oakley pant. i thought they fit true to size. i got xs and still had room to work with and the legs still remained roomy - so they have that park fit element. i normally wear size 1 or 3, depending on the brand. i'm super satisfied with this purchase. the waterproof on these pants are AWESOME. they kept me completely dry even though i failed to land some of my jumps. the vents do a really good job of cooling on hotter days. this is THE snowboard pant.

these jeans are HOTT. i got them in a size 3 just to be on the safe side because the picture on the website makes the jeans look really tight fitting... and its a good thing i did. i normally wear a size 1 (in old navy), size 2 in american eagle, size 3 in hollister/abercrombie. these jeans fit on the tight side. the rise is pretty low. paired up with a pair of skimmers ... its just too cute. i love these jeans. keep in mind they fit a bit small so go one size up. if you dont like tight pants, then these are not for you.

i got a small and it fits kinda baggy, i'm 5'5 120 and normally i wear a small, but i should have gone xs with this one. i'm too lazy to return it so i'm just gonna have to live with the baggy-ness.

yea sure, it heats up fast and very compact. but i noticed that the more i used the GCS the more the top lid would shrink. right now the lid its pretty much deformed and unless i get one of my guy friends to cap the pot for me... there is no way i can cap the pot with that deformed lid. i could have sworn it said on the instructions : "for a faster boil put on lid". theres my 2 cents.

this is my favorite down jacket. its sooo adorable, especially the fur lined hood. i wear it where ever i go.
