This is the sweetest jacket/soft shell I have ever worn. Just last week I was in a restaurant and my buddy spilled a full cup of Hawaiian Punch across the table and all over me. I stood up and the juice just beaded off. I was dry and the jacket was not colored or stained at all. Furthermore, in the cold this jacket is wind-proof and worm. Great color options and an all round sweet coat.

When I first started using Electric goggles I was stoked. However, through the season the quality of the goggles diminished quickly. After a few weeks the lenses started to fog, and after a few months the color that made the goggles cool started to fade and look dirty. Furthermore, the stitching that holds the strap to the frame started to fray and looked horrible. Also, the lenses scratch easily and have a weird glare that distorts your vision in bright sun light. If I were you I would look at another option.

POC's helmets are relatively new to the market and have been designed with the utmost care and technology to fit the times. POC helmets feature the highest crash ratings on the market, as well as newly designed materials and ventilation systems. I have worn a lot of helmets in the past, but the POC helmet is comfortable and feels right. When it comes to a helmet, safety is key, but comfort is tantamount to your willingness to wear it. POC has integrated both these features (Comfort and Safety )and in the process made what in my opinion are the best helmets on the market.

I was skeptical at first, but after one incident I was thankful that I had these on. Furthermore, aside from the additional protection of your hips and tail-bone, these are really comfortable as well as an additional layer between your butt and the snow or chair on those cold days. I got used to wearing them after one or two days and I make sure they are apart of my dressing for skiing every day now. They protect your body and they keep you worm. "If there is an additional chance to get up and walk away, why not?"

I got this pack for a four day trip and loved it... Given that I got stuck carrying all the heavy stuff in the group I had to do some adjusting on the trail, but when I got it fitting correctly it was great. It is large enough to bring that extra jacket, and has pockets and clips for everything you need. Make sure you get the right size, but otherwise I have no complaints as the pack is very well designed.

Great gloves for many uses. I use them for Mt. Biking and while I have not crashed or had to use the carbon protection i the knuckles yet, I feel comfortable knowing that it is there. I wish the glove had a place to wipe sweat on the finger or thumb, but otherwise these are tough and comfortable. Don't fight anyone you see wearing these... You'll loose!

These skis are perfect for their purpose. They are not made to go rip the resort chair lap after lap. While they are fun to ski, they are made to climb up and ski down, as they are designed to be super light, yet resilient and stiff enough to support you on the way back down. If you are looking to go trekking, skinning, or any type of backcountry adventuring then these are the perfect weapon.

Why not protect your special parts. Your spine is sensitive and fragile, this unit offers just enough protection to those unexpected falls, obstacles, or bumps. This is a comfortable piece, and packs up small.

I have always forced myself to run, because I know it is good for me, but when I got these shoes I had a new desire to hit the trail. Maybe it is the logo on the side that made me feel fast, but furthermore the comfort, support, cushion, and most of all weightless feel are all a combination I had never experienced before in one shoe. Therefore, these shoes have given me a new standard for running shoes. The traction allows me to run or walk up slopes dexterously, while others struggle to gain footing. Simply amazing and by no means are these shoes only for racing like the description above states. They are great for every run no matter how long the distance, because I guarantee I am not a 50 mile runner or racer.

I have used a lot of goggles in the past few years, however the leans that comes in the "Coral Blue" option above is the coolest leans I have ever used. It compares to the Oakley High Intensity Blue as far as light emission in low light situations, but it protects enough and does not burn your eyes if the sun does come out periodically on those low light days. The frame in the Iris Bug collection are superior in many ways also. They have rubber on the inside of the strap so it does not slide on you helmet or hat, the frame does not pinch you nose, among other things. However, if I can recommend the best low light leans I have ever seen or used, go for the Coral Blue option above. You will love them.

This is the every day jacket. I protects from the wind just enough that you can wear it getting in and out of the car running around town, but it breaths enough that you can wear it under a shell on cold days and be comfortable. I wear this thing almost every day ever since I got it. It repels water like it has scales, and fits great.

This jacket has every feature you need. Pockets, waterproof zippers, powder skirt, audio holes, hood, etc. I have used a lot of jackets in the past few years and the Spyder products have taken the cake. The colors are unique and bright and the materials they use are high tech and durable. The fit is perfect, keeps me worm yet has incredibly designed venting for the worm days or for hiking. Look no further, this jacket is great and will last a long time.

This is great if you are looking for more space in the car. This rack is the answer for those looking for a utility piece for the car that looks great and has a rugged mountain look to it as well. Durable, and ready for your next move or road trip.

There are a lot of bikes out there with many different shapes. Therefore, many bikes do not fit on some types of racks. However, this rack fits all bikes, and it is lower to the ground then others so it is easy to load and unload compared to other racks. It also folds up for parking or storage, as well as it has a lock option to secure the rack and bikes themselves. A great call.

These T-Shirts rock. They are super soft and comfortable and I have washed them many times and they still feel great and have the same color. Also, the logo is unique and people who are unfamiliar with the Ibex "goat" logo really seem to like it.

As far as beanies go this is a great hat. I have had the same one for two seasons and washed it a few times and it still fits great and still has great color. The Spyder logo looks cool, but can be concealed easy. Awesome for gifts.

Worm, waterproof, and the right size. I bought this jacket for my roommate and he loves it. He wears it all the time and given his profession in the construction business, it is durable and gets the job done.

This product is new to me so my experience is too. However, the last and only trip I have taken this pad on it worked great. I slept well and it was very comfortable. I found it to be light and easy to pack as well. The price is right and I am looking forward to camping more this spring.

Ski socks are very important to staying worm and having your boots fit well. They need to wick moisture, yet be thin enough to fit comfortably in a boot. These socks do just that and they are durable too. I have been wearing these socks for a long time now (considering the life expectancy of a sock) and they still fit and feel great. These socks have special stitching to form to your foot and feel great. Highly recommended.

Spyder has been around for years and has put thousands of garments on the market. Over the years their products have changed with the industry, but through that time they have relentlessly tweaked, tested, and created better products season after season. After using this years gear, the test of time has been answered. This jacket is nothing short of radical! Everything about this jacket is functional and ergonomically designed. It features "technical" zippers and seams, as well as survival features. The sizing is stylish, but not outlandish. The materials are durable and double as a rain jacket in necessary as the Gore-Tex material that line the entire jacket speaks for itself. If you are looking for the best jacket you'll ever use, look no further.

Summer is just around the corner and it will be time to hit the trail. These bots are perfect for many activities, but durable enough for any of your hiking activities long or short. I had a pair of these La Sportiva shoes last season and loved them. It took one or two trips to break them in, but once they fit they fit like an extension of my foot. They are light, comfortable, durable, offer incredible traction on all conditions, and ready for action.

This is more then a watch. Although it took a little time to figure out how to operate and use all the features, I have found it to be durable yet comfortable. I find it to be very motivating, as there are no secretes as to how hard I am really working, how long I have been working, and how far I have gone... Uploading data is easy and I can create graphs and track my training progress. Great investment into your training program or just an interesting toy to play with.

Electric, EG1: In the past few years I have worn some of the newest and most high-tech goggles on the market. Electric goggles are incredibly pleasant on the eyes and are ergonomically designed to conform comfortably to your face. With a hard scratch resistant coating on the lenses they allow you to live your life without worrying like a thirteen year old girl coveting her CD collection. The added durability and lens quality is unique and the color schemes offered will fit any desired style.

Head skis were one of the first production ski companies in the world. Over that time there has been a lot of changes in the ski industry, and many pioneered by HEAD. The materials used and technology that creates the Head skis can only be experienced as explanation does not justice. These skis are versatile in all conditions, easy to control at all speeds, and stable yet reactive for all skiers capable of harnessing the energy created. Some may consider these skis weapons of winter, but thee skis are made for skiing and for skiers who are ready to experience the sport from your own cockpit. "Simply put, these skis are awesome."
