This is one of the best park skis around for the price. Staying in the 400-500$ range is awesome especially when you're getting a ski that could easily run $600+. That's the great thing about Line, great products, lower prices. I have these mounted with the Marker Jester and it's a sick combo. Great in the park for sure, buttery, soft and stomp a landing great. They work on the groomers, with great edge to edge control but start to chatter a lot at high speeds (what do you expect). It's not as bad as some skis, but just a fair warning. I took these a little bit off-piste earlier in the season just to get a feel for them and they worked okay in a crud-like snow that was all tracked out. In powder, I wouldn't even think about taking these, way too narrow. Fun and poppy. What more could you ask for out of a freestyle ski? I love just riding a little off-piste line with these and hitting natural features, these respond great. Awesome quality, awesome price, awesome ski. Do it to it!

I can't remember if I've done a review or not, so i'll do a new one. Now this is coming from a glove junkie, I think I have more pairs of gloves than I do pairs of skis (don't ask me why). That being said though this is by far one of the best gloves I've ever owned. I just recently purchased Hestra Cloud Nine's and had to pick these up just to "give em a try". I would easily rank these up there with the Cloud Nine in my book. Warm and dry (if you take care of them). I wore these yesterday on a foot-fot and a half powder day in Utah and didn't have any problems with snow penetration or wetness at all. They are extremely comfortable and minimalist. What I mean by that is that they give great manual dexterity which is vital for me in a ski glove. I can adjust my helmet, boots or jacket with no problems. In regards to sizing, I wear an XL in pretty much every glove and the same runs true for this (I have monster hands). The cuff is a little bit snug but it stretches out a bit after some use. All in all it's a great glove, easily 5 out of 5 in my book.

I'm gonna go with the latter. This is easily the best helmet I've ever owned. The fit on it is great and adjustable given the size range for each size. The ventilation on this helmet is great as well. I've never gotten cold or overheated with the helmet. The adjustable vents are very easy to use with gloves on. The chin strap is extremely comfortable and adjustable and has the padding that won't allow it to cut into you. All in all I would say this is easily the best helmet on the market. I WILL buy another when/if my current one dies.

I've been skiing/snowboarding for a good 12+ years of my life and I can honestly say these are the best goggles I've ever owned. Great quality and construction. They're made to last and are comfortable to boot. They fit great with a helmet and are made for a larger face. If you're looking for a smaller face model go for the A Frame, these are pretty big. The Pink Iridium lens is probably the best all around for this goggle, then I would say the Persimmon. Fit great, and are easy to adjust. Definitely buy these for your next goggle purchase.

I've had Caribou's for about 10 years now (in various sizes). Probably one of the best boots ever made. Extremely comfortable and warm. The laces tighten the boot just enough to be perfect. The sizing is a little big, not enough to warrant sizing down though. My entire family owns these boots as well and will never choose any other boot. High quality and durable. Best boot I've ever seen or used.

I bought all 4 colors for myself and various family members for a "stocking stuffer". I opened mine up and played around with it for a bit. It was awesome! First off the sleek design and bright colors are beautiful. The lid is crazy, gives a nice firm seal (hence the vacuum). I tested it out with some hot water and it really did keep it hot for 6 hours, longer i think if i would have left it in. The secret compartment on top if nice for a tea bag, since i'm a green tea junkie. Love this mug, not to mention you get to represent your favorite brand/company. Backcountry represent!

This hoody is pretty much one of my new favorites. The material/weight of it is great. It feels pretty sturdy almost like a Canvas but it's not. Really solid for sure. I dig it. The sizing on it is perfect if you follow the sizing chart. Has a nice baggy fit to it which looks great. I got the Red/Black/Blue stripes and the colors are off the charts. So electric it's hot. Arms are a good length and the cuffs are perfect, not too short, not too long and also they're tight. Love this hoody!

What is there to be said about this binding that hasn't already? It's probably the best binding on the market today, not just for freestyle but for big-mountain goodness as well. I have these mounted on both a Line Chronic for park and K2 Seth Alpine for my big-mountain ski. It's great on both. You really don't even notice they are there. So light it's amazing. In the park it has such a small swing weight, it's awesome. Some other bindings I've used haven't held up with season after season of presses, butters and landings but the Jester is epic in it's quality. The release on it is great as well. As far as for a freeride binding, it's amazing. Light and solid. Exactly what you want when you're throwin' turns on a 45 slope in 2 feet of pow. It's beautiful really.

I bought this jacket about a week ago and was a little worried that it might be too small. The sizing chart doesn't really do this jacket justice. It has the Burton Sig fit which is their classic look. It's a little baggy but not g-unit style. The thing I really like about it is the long length it has. It covers the butt which makes it perfect for snow since you don't want any snow gettin down your pants! One thing I was slightly disappointed in is the insulation, it's just kind of meh. I wore it around and it just doesn't seem like it would cut it on one of those 0 to -10 days. Above about 10 degrees though I would say it's perfect. I would highly recommend, I got the Mocha Comic Print and thinks it's a sick design. It's fun but not too loud.

I didn't really buy these shoes to skateboard with since I'm more of a winter sports guy myself but they look extremely good. I really dig the lowtop old school look. It's just a simple shoe that is extremely comfortable. If you're looking for a stylish shoe that is comfortable, this shoe is for you.

I bought these a month and a half ago and love them. I use them everyday while at work to cut down on the noise around me. They have a great sound quality if you don't blast it too loud and keep out the outside noise extremely well. They're really comfortable once you figure out what length you need the band at. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a good quality headphone that isn't too expensive.

I love this pack completely. Bought the Acid Green since I'm a fan of Green and was pleasantly surprised by the color. It's mainly my Mountain Biking pack but use it for everything else, day hiking, around town, whatever. Lightweight and extremely durable as well as highly water resistant. There isn't much more I could ask for in a day pack. I like the way it sits on the back, narrow and long, I'm not a huge fan of wide and short packs (ie: most North Face packs). This is very minimalist and won't snag easy if you're in a bushed out area or trees. Do it to it. Not only are you getting a great pack you're getting Osprey's lifetime warranty and quality.

Been using these for a while now. Nothing negative to say about them, they're easy to get on and off never had any problems with icing and also stay out of the way. Not much more you can say or ask for in a cable leash. Taken some brutal falls on them as well and no problems at all.

I was a little disappointed by the size of the jacket. It was a lot more snug than expected, that being said though it's a great winter jacket. It's water-resistant and from my experience repels light rain and medium snow. Anything more than that and you would want a shell over it. The Primaloft is extremely warm and it has great style as well. 5 out of 5 for performance 4 out of 5 for sizing.

Picked up the fire for my Crowbars, already had the Pink Iridium so I needed to pick up a darker lens for those crazy bright days. All I can say is that these are fantastic. Easy to change in and out and high quality lens. Great buy.

The design on this jacket is sick and looks like Atari graphics in my opinion. I love the thin fabric on this hoodie and it fits great. It's a slimmer fit than their other hoodies but still fits baggier than most.

Nomis rocks. That's really all I have to say. This is incredibly warm/thick and the color is awesome. I got the green and love it. The sizing is a little big but Nomis just runs that way. I bought an XL Tall since I'm about 6'3 and wear an XL in most brands and it's a little roomy but gives some great style.

The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because of the sizing. These shirts run a little snug. If you're looking for a loose fitting shirt then I would suggest sizing up one size. That being said though this is a great shirt, I have one in all 3 colors. Has a lot of style and very minimalist with the small goat on the chest. Has shorter sleeves than some other t-shirts but not too bad. All in all it's a great shirt.

The Hestra Cloud Nine sits in the top 2 gloves of my arsenal and believe me I have a lot. I've had so many problems with gloves and it's hard for me to find a good glove. What I look for is manual dexterity, dryness factor and warmth. I've had other gloves that combine two of the three but not all three. This glove achieves the holy trinity! I absolutely love it. I've never worn a glove that is so minimalist and yet warm. Great dexterity, dry and warm. I've worn down to about -10 with this glove and no problems. The sizing is true to the chart although the wrist is a little tight, it's worth it. I would definitely recommend this to any skiier, if the price tag is a little much for you, check out the NEW Backcountry.com brand Inbounds Glove.

I'm writing this from my College class after using the backpack for the first time. Upon my first impression, I'm very impressed. Currently I have a laptop, large textbook and 3 other notebooks in it. It all fits in the pack great. I really like the sunglasses pocket, it's a great fleece lined pocket that is semi-padded. The suspension system on this pack is a little sub-par but I wasn't expecting much from it, it's just a school backpack. All in all, I'd give this 4.5 stars but there is not an option for that.

Love this hat, the goat is nice and lowkey unlike some other branded hats you see from other companies. I bought the L/XL which fits me perfect, I was worried that it might not since I wear a size 7 3/4 fitted hat but it fits like a charm. The material is really sturdy and I've been wearing it for about 5 hours now with no discomfort. The black looks great although I'm going to pick up one of the brown I think too! Represent your favorite outdoors company...BC what what!

I seriously love this hat. I couldn't tell by the pictures if it was going to be a shorter hat since I have a big head. I decided to take a shot and see what happened. It turns out it has the same style as say the Frena but with a pom on top. It's extremely long so it will fit big heads with ease. For you little heads out there, you'll have a little bit of sag which is what you want, right? It's extremely warm and comfortable, I pretty much wear it 24 hours a day. I love Coal products!

Great hat, the detail on the stitching and the coloring is great. A great looking hat, pretty nonchalant but still has an edge to it. Fits great. I got the L/XL but I have a huge noggin. Fits close to the head so you don't look like a trucker. Cutter is the future!

Bright and loud. The green is an awesome lime green color, super electric. The fit on this is great. Fits snug to the head and the detail on it is spectacular. Promote some underground, promote Cutter!

This thing is epic for sure. Bright colors on the dark grey background, it's beautiful really. The fit on this thing is perfect as well. Baggy but not gangsta. The weight of the material is perfect for a night out on the town or for a spring rail sesh. Zipper can be a little bit buggy but other than that this hoody is sick. The design is fun and bright. Follow the sizing guide and you should be set on what size to get.

I bought this for my girlfriend. She seems to love it. It's super stylish and looks extremely good. The great thing about it is that the fur is removable so when it's snowy out you can just take it off and not worry about it collecting snow. Like the review above me said, they run a little bit small so if you usually wear a Medium and it's a little snug go with a Large. Other than that it's not too bad. It's a half size smaller than normal I would say.

I bought this helmet for my mother because her other one was extremely outdated. Solid construction, functional design and a great look. The only thing I would note is that the sizing on the website is off. If the sizing says a Large go with a Medium. They run about a size larger than what you would expect, so just a heads up.

Such a great glove. They're bombproof construction. Extremely warm and give the manual dexterity you need for skiing. These gloves have kept me warm into temps below 0 easily and without a liner underneath. Hestra is known for their quality so that's not something you need to worry about. They breathe extremely well too for those semi-warm days where you're torn between gloves. For a spring day these are just too much, that's when I move to my Dakine Dukes. They're an awesome cold weather glove when you still need some manually dexterity and bombproof construction.

Great footprint, fits my Tephra 22 perfect. High durability, easy to use, small when backpacking. Great product. What else can you say about a footprint?

Thought I added a review, but I guess it didn't go through. I really love this jacket, it may not keep out the wind, but it was never meant to. This thing is perfect for a late fall or early spring day. It fits a little bit smaller than I expected, it was a little snug in the tummy area but I'm also 6'2 and 250 with a lineman build. I ordered the XXL but it still fits good, not too tight. I would recommend for your next fleece purchase, I wasn't disappointed.

I really dig this jacket, it's warm and a great fall/spring jacket. It's not going to keep out the wind, it's not meant for that. I got the XXL and it fits great, i'm about 6'2 and 250 with a lineman build. It's a little snug in the tummy area, but not that bad elsewhere. I would buy another when this one wears out. A great buy, I'm glad I invested in it. It looks great too!

Comfortable and stylish is the name of the game. I bought the Grey/Blue and it looks pretty sick in my opinion. It's not your normal skate shoe which I liked about it. It's not bulky like the others and it's Nike so it's high quality.

I bought both the blue and the black version of this hat. I love the style of the Frena. It has that little extra room at the top which gives it that steezy baggy look but doesn't go overboard like those lame bag hats that those indie-scensters wear. A great price for a great beanie. It's warm and stays on extremely well especially with my huge noggin. I recommend to all you steez addicts out there.

Bought this hat a little over a month ago and have been stoked on it ever since. Has an awesome look to it and the flat brim gives you that steezy style. Looks good and you can't beat the flex-fit.

I bought these for my brother in law and he says that he loves them. He's about 6'0 and has a 36 inch waist so I got him the Large and they fit a little baggy which he loves. It's a great shell pant, the insulated version is great as well I bet. So don't buy these and think "hey, they're just a shell". This is the non-insulated version. It seems really high quality (All TNF products are) and any pant that is simple will be awesome. I'm not a huge fan of all the bells and whistles on some other pants. If you're looking for a great shell pant, then this is the one for you.
