I bought the Vela last year when I was looking for a new boot that would perform better than any other boot I've had. This boot did just that! I rode these boots 100+ days last year and they are still just as aggressive as ever. These boots gave me the super-stiff responsiveness I was looking for and I know that they will provide for this season as well.

I use this pack not only snowboarding, but in the summer too. I found that it keeps ice water cold forever, which is awesome, and when I have stuff to put in there, the pack just takes it all. It holds a lot more stuff than you would think by just looking at it. I love it! Great for day hikes or just being outside all day working.

Santa brought me this pack last year and I have used it mostly for climbing trips. I do think that it is pretty great. Very light and nice to use. I feel that some of it's packing space is lost by the Aircomfort system, although that is a rad feature. I don't think I could fit everything I need for an overnight solo (tent, food, sleeping bag, pad, clothes) in here, but definantly a great buy for long day trips or trips where you need lots of gear.

I wore this helmet all last season and i totally love it. I never wore a helmet before this one because I couldn't get comfortable in one. Now, it is so comfortable that I never want to ride without it. It keeps my head soooo warm on the coldest days, and dry on the wettest. The brim is perfect for hiding any gaper gap you might get from your goggles. My goggle clip fell off the first day, but I really haven't had a need for it since, so good riddance!

These bindings totally revolutionized my riding. I got them in January last year, and they are the first bindings that ever fit in my size 5 boot. They give me so much more control than I had ever felt before, plus they are SO responsive I couldn't believe it. Also great for backcountry when traveling split-board style!

This is my second helmet, and I totally love it. I never wore my first helmet because I felt pretty lame in it but this one is another story. It's nice and light so I can't even tell it's there and the matte black finish makes for a nice mini graffiti board for my dome. I blinged it out and now I have the most flash-tastic helmet on the mountain! I would recommend trying it on in a shop first though just like any other helmet cuz it fits way different than any other helmet I've tried on. :)

I've worn this jacket everywhere from Maine rainstorms on the beach climbing, to backcountry snowboarding in Utah and It has been great. The low-profile zippers are great for wearing a harness over as I can't even feel them. The hood is nice and big so it fits over my snowboarding helmet and my climbing helmet. I'm a pretty small girl, but I ordered the medium anyway cuz it is great for fitting a down coat under in back country. I've recommended this jacket to a lot of people! It is just the perfect rain jacket.
