Bought these gloves based on BC ratings and BC gear specialist recommendation before my trip to Solitude and could not have been more pleased. 5 day back-to-back sessions later I've concluded that Hestra's are worth every penny! The gaiters kept the pow out, the straps kept my gloves secure when filming my bros in the deep - and the leather gave the confidence that these gloves are going to last. All in all - pefect in every way and exactly what I needed. I'll be using these gloves for years to come. High quality = high marks. You get what you pay for, folks.

Bought this jacket to replace my old school North Face Mountain jacket and am not regretting it. The North Face is still solid after 10+ years, but was getting too heavy/bulky for my liking. I scored the Marmot on Tramdock and have not looked back. I used it on/off for a week trip to Solitude in early Feb and it performed perfectly. Excellent wind proofing, water resistance and breathability. It's a shell, so you're not getting any real insulation, but it's lightweight and very maneuverable. I'm 6'3" and got the XL which actually runs a bit big on me - but that's not a bad thing when you're layering up and want the free movement capability. Snow skirt was great and the minimalist pockets were right on. All in all - a great jacket that I'll use on/off the mountain for the next 10 years. Hook it up if you can find it!
