out of box review...so i originaly got these to put on on eof my cheap toy boards, but i ended up puttin them on my nice board cuz they were so cool outta the box. Super solid and and sturdy as a rock, but still keeps the weight down, very light. having only used metal bindings before i was weary of a plastic baseplate, but the thing is heavy duty and feels indestructable. Adjustments are crazy for a lower end binding, Foreward lean, gas pedal, highback rotation, and of course the straps. coolest thing is that all adjustments are tool-less besides the highback rotation...and the straps and highback lean are adjustable on the fly...and as always, burton's boot to bindings integration is flawless, fits like a gloves only wishes it could fit. sweet stuff. ill write another after i go riding with them. (p.s. Screw burtons size chart!...unless you got some huge clonkers, like 12+...then go for the meduim, i got a medium and my 11 ozones's fit perfect with room on the straps to spare) |

ok they are really comfortable and supportive, but dont keep em for more tha a few months cuz they soak up all the smell from ur feet and shoot it back 10 fold! they stink! literally, and the whole water resevour leaks all over the place so if you want ur fav beverage then youll have to lick it off the floor or drink it out of a can/bottle/cup like a normal person |

LOOKS ARE BOMB! BUT WAIT...ITS FUNCTIONAL TOO!

so the only thing that could make me switch from my old feenoms were these...this is just a genius combo, looks amazing, and the SOUND! IT RATTLES YOUR HEAD, LITERALLY!...so convenient too, way better than wearing ur dj headphones under the strap, they worth the money, only bad part is that the smoke lense isnt very reflective...and i cant stand that, but i changed it for a fire lense and now they PERFECT |

All in All - Not bad for the money. Having only used my Ride RX's for years i was weary of using a whole new binding, especially ones this cheap from a Huge Juggernaught manufaturer...the medium flex is pretty forgiving, and doesnt twist ur feet when you dont land perfect. I like, but not love the straps, they are plenty comfortable, no pressure points! with my Burton Ozones. But beware, they do not crank down very tight, just tight enough...Response isn't awesome, but gets the job done, but sometimes i felt like i really had to try just to get my board from edge to egde, the best thing i think about them is the effective padding - Flew up yesterday, overshot, slammed on a flat so hard that my butt touched the ground, usuallly that would have killed my feet and shins, but i rode away fine, thank you Custom Bindings!...These are eh....good bindings, definitly not worth retail but at a good sale price, they are a good purchase |

Hey everyone needs one :-)
04-13-09 ![]() |
What can you say, its a rain jacket, nothing special...passed the 60 second full blast faucet test, all water beaded off and the fabric was not wet at all, very if not completley waterproof...FIT is very true to size with not much room to spare, im 5'9 185 average build and usually am a medium in everything... the medium fits nice everywhere but it considerbly short, lands just below waist, and is slightly longer in the back, and theres just enough room to fit a softshell or a fleece under it but definitly does not have a generous cut, also double storm flap is difficult to work with. Nice jacket with a few gripes |

GUYS!!!!!

BUY THIS BOARD! IT IS NOT JUST A WOMENS BOARD!...first an explanation, one of my friends has this board and i originaly strapped into it to try out the fit her cartels with my new burton boots...but i rode the board for the rest of the day cuz i didnt want to let it go (i weigh 180 and rode the 149, did fine, screw the tech specks). Its the funnest ride ive ever had in my life. the first thing i noticed about this board is that its SOOOOOOOO light, and that means ZERO swing weight, i could not even feel the board on my feet. spins are a dream on this board, it like just jumpin and spinning withought a board on. i would also buy this board just cuz of how fun it is to butter with, flex is perfect, rebounds just right but soft enough to just pop right on the tip or tail, add in the zero swing weight and youll be butterin like land-o-lakes...pop off the tail is crazy, added a good 6-12 inches to my ollies, probably due to the fact that i was riding a shorter board (went from 155 to 149), but still it pops like crazy. All i could use it for is freestyle and messin around...the second i hit chop with this IT took ME for a ride and bumbed me aroud like a pinball before planting me on my face, lesson learned...not, i still took it on a few black diamonds and had a few close calls with death, THEN it was lesson learned!...few more things, edge to edge was a little slow, really unstable ride, not too fast, but that was all probably because it was so short for me...........................................................BOTTOM LINE IS: if you want a fun fun fun ride, then be a man, buy womens! |

Get em on sale!
04-08-09 ![]() |
im really sorry dogfunk, i had to get these at a local shop for %50 off. At that price, they are totaly worth it (bout 50 bucks)...for any larger price i would look elsewhere. they are nice gloves, fit true to size and are comfy as heck. the figers are snug and the gloves have just a tiny tiny bit of stretch to them, very dexterous and low profile. they look SICK, the pads add a nice robot/power ranger/samurai look to em, and on the bottom the fingers are all outlined giving it a skeleton-esc, look. very cool and not overdone at all. performance, these are not breathable at all, if your fingers get wet, they stay wet, but even if the insides are a bit damp, you still stay warm. they take about an hour to warm up your hands. i used them in 30 degree weather and got cold hands a few times, but when my hands were warm, they were toasty warm, they are good spring gloves basically...and theres goretex so they are 100 percent waterproof...leather is ok, after one day the fingers tips got a little faded, not cool! one more feature i LOVE is the extra long zip gauntlet, super easy to put on and tighten, and goes under ur jacket easy peasey with out sacrificing protection...over-all a nice gloves but not worth the retail price :-) |

WOW
04-08-09 ![]() |
WOW these are so comfortable, went to the local shop and threw in em in a heat molder and they fit absoultley perfect. ive been dealing with dead toes, crushed toes, and a bad pressure spot on all of my boots for the past few years and now all those problems are gone! (ordered true to size, didnt even pack out a half size, still snug n nice)...while riding they are very comfortable, i was weary about them because they are so soft, but once you get em laced up nice n tight, they are just as responisive as any other boots. but way more comfortable and perfect for buttering and just having a relaxed ride. took some tree runs to test response and they did great...Cushioning is awesome for hard landings. they arent too huge so they fit nicley into lots of bindings. Must be the most comfortable boots ever made, only problem is that the speed zone laces can undo themselves if you dont REALLY push em down into the cleats. BOTTOM LINE if you want happy feet, buy these boots |

got a second pair of phenoms this year and i honestly think they are perfect...fogging is not a problem, no fogging during normal riding and lift lines, and when they do fog after going inside or what not, a quick pat dry with a bag and lift ride later they are perfect and good as new...Now for fitting, these are very comfortable, they dont stick out very far from your face and pressure is distrubted evenly. for you helmet riders: these have a flat top (as opposed to a round top like a-frames) and that comes in handy when fitting with a helmet, these fit great my RED muntiny and hi-fi, and my PROTEC ace freecarve...Vision is great, they are deceptively big and have a huge field of vision and lastly. THE LOOKS ARE SIIIIIIICK!...these goggles look huge without making you look like an astronaut, and the lenses are awesome, i can stand see-thru lenses and Von Zipper has the best chrome lenses out there...just stay away from the smoke lenses if you NEED completely reflective lenses like i do, cuz you can actually see through the smoke lenses BOTTOM LINE: fogging is minimal, fit feels like they aren't even there, works great with a helmet, looks sick without being too over the top...perfect goggle |

THESE SUCK!
04-07-09 ![]() |
these just suck, too thin and hard on the top of the foot, and that means that by the 3rd run, the top of your foot is screaming in pain...theres flexing bars on the sides of the boot and those dig into your ankle, and once again, your foot is screamin in pain, pain so bad that you cant walk the next day, im not exagerating (not too much)...it might be just my foot...i thought these problems would go away after some time to break em in, but halfway through the season i needed to drop the hammer and say the TRUTH!...and in line with other reviews, heel slip is awful and can rip up some skin, these just arent good boots...your going to end up dreading having to wear them...keep ur eyes peeled to brociety.com to look for some real quality boots |

Black iridium=sunny day...duh, but...
04-07-09 ![]() |
we all know the black iriduim works good in bright sun, thats self evident, but how does it look???? im crazy about completley reflective lenses and this is the next best thing besides a fire lens. in the sun it looks silver and there is just a tiny bit of transparency |

Forgot i was wearing a helmet
04-08-09 ![]() |
this should be called the low rider helmet, it comes down to abot your eyebrows...im not compalaining tho, cuz that makes it fit good with lots of gogs. its incredibly light, of course. its a really huge helmet, the total opposite of low profile, which is fine, it bobs ur head around a little bit...the removable liner makes layering a beanie and gogs uderneath really easy, but its really warm withought a beanie. it looks great too, a little on the skiier side if you ask me but i love the look. fit awesome with large goggles with flat tops (vonzipper feenoms, smith prodigys, oakley crowbar, those are the specific ones i have tried with it and they all fit awesome)...but this does not work with small goggle with round tops!!!!! i cant wear my a frames with this at all, its a brutally bad fit, i dont care if thats what shawn white uses, it dont work im tellin ya!...besides that it perfect, strike that, its just perfect :-) |

almost better than not wearing gogs
04-07-09 ![]() |
persimmon lens is ok, and thats it...it doesnt excell in any condition but doesnt lack in any either, except one...ill just go over the spectrum -BRIGHT SUN: stay away! this is not dark enough by far, after a bluebird day everything looked pink...i immediately went and got a darker lens -STORM/SNOW/FOG: contrast is laughable but at least the lens is light enough to see in those condtions, the mountain wont look like its shrouded in shadow -OVERCAST: contrast sucks again, but the shade of the lens is good for overcast -NIGHT: hard to decipher anything different, ice/snow/guy dressed in white/jumps, its all hard to see cuz theres no definintion or contrast, but at least the shade is light enought to see at night BOTTOM LINE: this lens kinda sucks, but it will work if your pinching pennys and need an all around lens, just stay away from the sun and be prepared for everything to turn orange :-) |

3 years and still killin it
04-06-09 ![]() |
Been riding these for 3 years and havent needed new bindings, need say more? ok i will anyway. they are juist mid weight, not super light or heavy...response is good, but stil flexible enough to butter the crap outta them. comfort could use some work, ankle strap is thin and hard, and toe strap is just a mess. toe strap is uncomfortable, pinches both sides of tow box, and falls off...shock padding is nice tho, no complaints on that...other gripes are the bad ratchets, go tight but strip easy, and when they are tight they are really hard to get off. BOTTOM LINE: is that they arent perfect, but they WORK!...they do the job for under 200 bucks, cant ask for much more |

sorry for rediculously long pre-review...but ive ridden enough to complete it...ill make it shorter this time. WOW these are so comfortable still, went to the local shop and threw in em in a heat molder and they fit absoultley perfect now. ive been dealing with dead toes, crushed toes, and a bad pressure spot on all of my boots for the past few years and now all those problems are gone! (ordered true to size, didnt even pack out a half size, still snug n nice)...while riding they are very comfortable, i was weary about them because they are so soft, but once you get em laced up nice n tight, they are just as responisive as any other boots. but way more comfortable and perfect for buttering and just having a relaxed ride. took some tree runs to test response and they did great...Cushioning is awesome for hard landings. they arent too huge so they fit nicley into lots of bindings.

I CANT LISTEN TO OTHER HEADPHONES!

Holy Crap, these things shake your head and rattle yur brain!...ok not really but it feels like it, the bass is HUGE and you can feel the vibrations...it sounds like your head is INSIDE a 600 watt sub!!!!!...the folding design is nice and you can controll how much bass there is, just incase you get tired of having your brain getting knocked around your skull...the only bad thing is the obscure fit system, it doesnt wrap neatly aroud your head but hinges stick out a few centimeters and squish the pad against your head. besides that they are perfection. |

suck...ish
04-20-09 ![]() |
yes i know they are spring gloves but i dont think they even work for that...youre on a mountain covered in snow, so your hands are going to get wet. they are not waterproof at all, and are not windproof either. so your hands get wet, and then the wind freezes them out. plus they are really uncomfortable, lined with sanpaper basically, no fleece or anything on the inside, not even a brushed liner...and then finnaly they fit bad, if you can find one that fits poperly in the fingers then the thumb is too short, and the if the thumb fits right, the fingers are too long. not too good |

boarding+icons=perfection, no wonder so many people use them boarding!...they fit extremely well, nice and snug so they dont fall off EVER, but distribute pressure evenly so there is NO discomfort, even after a whole day boarding...and i swear the cloth on the earpads sticks to beanies :-)...talkin bout sound quality. Amazing! for 30mm drivers, i have a plethora of skullcandys and these sound way better than the TI's, a heaphone that costs almost 4X as much. treble is crisp and clear, bass is well balanced, doesnt rattle and is pretty loud for tiny headphones, and the volume cranks LOUD!...even with the whistling wind and everything i cant turn my ipod more than half volume, or my ears start to bleed, and theres never any distortion. incredible...oh yeah they weigh nothing too |

cool bottle, black adds a nice touch, the lid locks down tight and seals in the water but makes an annoying squeaking noise everytime you screw it down. since the cap goes down into the bottle, water will come out of you have the bottle filled up too much. theres no insulating value what so ever, they reccomend not putting hot liquids in it and i know why, the firt time i filled it with cold water; the whole bottle turned freezing cold to the the touch in an instant, so i dont even want to think of the burns id get from hot water...overall a nice bottle |

WOW-EE-WOW-WOW!...its just one lens! how can it do so much!!! it takes the blinding sun factor out of bluebird days...increases contrast and definition in fog, snowstorms, and overcast...and at night it lights up the mountian like a bulb! (ok that last one is exagerrating but it works great at night) ONLY COMPLAINT is that it is very see-thru from the outside, and im all super-ficiall like that so i dont like see thru lenses...but for a see thru lense it has a cool, blue semi-reflective finish |

ok, GREAT HEADPHONES PEOPLE!...good sound, comfortable, defiitly durable, stylin, and iconic. for the price they are definitly worth it, awesome alternative for earbuds...bad thing is that they are HORRID for boarding, the fit is really loose and that means they fall off with any jarring motion |

Fasion over function
04-20-09 ![]() |
these are probably up there on the list of coolest things you can put on ur head...that aside they basically suck...highs are tinny, bass is non-existant, and when you want to rock out you can Krank the volume to about 6, yeah they arent very loud...especially runing off an tiny ipod battery, the earpads are not very thick and become unfomfortable after about an hour, also the design of the hinge makes them imposible to be worn around the neck...good points, awesome looks, fit nice, very stable and tight (definitly tight enough for boarding), and the volume control is flawless, total range of control from silence to as loud as the headphones can go (something i have not found before, especially not in smokin buds)...sooooooo the sound can be compaired to the heaphones that come with your iPod, and for half the price you can get the lowriders which have more bass, same driver size, and are twice as loud, but these do look sick |

04-20-09 ![]() |
Have you ever seen ear buds that look so cool!?! I think...wait...i know not. They sound awesome too, highs are crisp and clear, and then the bass is monster, feels like they almost have subwoofers. noise isolation is great, put you in own little world withought the redic. price of noise-cancelling heaphones. only two gripes are the volume control is nearly usless, only goes from %100 volume to about %50 volume, instead of going to zero like it should. and then like lots of earbuds, they fall out easy. SOOOOO for the price of a boring pair of buds, you get the skullcandy name, skullcandy style, the skullcandy warranty, the skullcandy sticker :-), and a nearly functioning volume control. Great stuff |

So comfortable
04-19-09 ![]() |
most comfortable goggles i have ever worn, even pressure distribution and fits great with helmets and beanies. vision is pretty good, but you can see lots of frame in the field of vision. fits medium+ sized faces..lenses are not completley mirrored which i hate. so they arent perfect but its worth it for the amazing comfort |

COOLEST THINGS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...as you can probably tell i love love love these headphones. sound is incredible, highs are nice and clear, and the the BASS! of course is huge huge, the thing is its not just sound...its actualy vibration!...the woofers rumble just like a cars, and its crazy when its goin right into your head, but the sound is balanced and not obnoxious at all, no overkill or headaches, and you can controll the level of bass, grandma. they are also very comfortable, and fit nice n snug so they done fall off when you look down (achem, lowriders)...plenty stable and solid for snowboarding, wont fall off when you fall. Folding design is nice for airports and school ect. and last awesome thing is that they work perfect with my wimpy ipod nano, since they are self powered, no weak sound!...and no batter drain either. |

Never leave home without them
04-18-09 ![]() |
everyone needs a pair of lowriders, perfect blend of style and function. they look great, and sound better...low profile and not obnoxious at all, nice colors too, not overdone, simple clean style...highs are crips and clear, bass is pretty decent for non-in-ear/non-subwoofer/non-earcupping headphones...there is a little static and crackling at high volumes, but they do go SOOOOOOO LOUD! at full blast they can fill a room, a car, and be heard when boarding while they hang around your neck!...the one issue i have with them is fit, they are very very loose...if you spill when boarding, kiss em goodbye, and hope ur ipod dont go with em. and since they rest on the ears, they can be uncomfrtable if worn for long amounts of time |

out of box review...so i original got these to put on one of my cheap toy boards, but i ended up puttin them on my nice board cuz they were so cool outta the box. Super solid and and sturdy as a rock, but still keeps the weight down, very light. having only used metal bindings before i was weary of a plastic baseplate, but the thing is heavy duty and feels indestructible. Adjustments are crazy for a lower end binding, Foreward lean, gas pedal, highback rotation, and of course the straps. coolest thing is that all adjustments are tool-less besides the highback rotation...and the straps and highback lean are adjustable on the fly...and as always, burton's boot to bindings integration is flawless, fits like a gloves only wishes it could fit. after test...All in All - Not bad for the money. Having only used my Ride RX's for years i was weary of using a whole new binding, especially ones this cheap from a Huge Juggernaught manufacturer...the medium flex is pretty forgiving, and doesn't twist ur feet when you dont land perfect. I like, but not love the straps, they are plenty comfortable, no pressure points! with my Burton Ozones. But beware, they do not crank down very tight, just tight enough...Response isn't awesome, but gets the job done, but sometimes i felt like i really had to try just to get my board from edge to egde, the best thing i think about them is the effective padding - Flew up yesterday, overshot, slammed on a flat so hard that my butt touched the ground, usually that would have killed my feet and shins, but i rode away fine, thank you Custom Bindings!...These are eh....good bindings, definitely not worth retail but at a good sale price, they are a good purchase (p.s. Screw burtons size chart!...unless you got some huge clonkers, like 12/13+...then go for the meduim, i got a medium and my 11 ozones's fit perfect with room on the straps to spare) |

the concept for this rack is great, and the swing system works to perfection...smooth swing action and gets completley out of the way of our 2004 tahoes back hatch, it is also very easy to install and uninstall and both can be done by one person in a matter of minutes (after about a 30 min initial assembly). the built in lock is a nice feature too. this basically does exactly what it says it does, holds 4 bikes and swings out of the way when you want to to get into the hatch (bikes can be on rack or off when swung open, wow)...now the bad parts, theres a few. the worst part is the devastatingly hard process of loading the bikes, putting that first bike on easy easy, putting the second bike on after it is difficult, then the third, its like trying to fit the square peg in the circle hole! and then once you try to get the fourth bike on you're dripping with sweat, screaming at the rack, and taking all the bikes back off to find a way to fit em on at once, and its probably about the 3rd or 4th time youve done that!. the reason why is because all the pedals and handlebars conflict with eachother and make it impossible to fit 4 bikes one there, especially since there's only about 5 inches of space between each bike...if none of that made sence then heres a shorter version: after first spending 2 hours finding an order and way to fit just 3 bikes on there, it still takes me a half hour EVERY time after each bike ride to load the three bikes, lots of putting bikes on, taking them back off, rejiggering them to fit, and praying...granted its nice for the other two people who are waiting in the car (loading the bikes can only be a 1 man job, poeple would get in the way really)...but after you are done loading you just wish you didnt go on the ride. bottom line is that i cant reccomend this to anyone because of the horrible loading process...but if you need the swinging capability, then its ur funeral |

BUY THIS BOARD! IT IS NOT JUST A WOMENS BOARD!...first an explanation, one of my friends has this board and i originaly strapped into it to try out the fit her cartels with my new burton boots...but i rode the board for the rest of the day cuz i didnt want to let it go (i weigh 180 and rode the 149, did fine, screw the tech specks). Its the funnest ride ive ever had in my life. the first thing i noticed about this board is that its SOOOOOOOO light, and that means ZERO swing weight, i could not even feel the board on my feet. spins are a dream on this board, it like just jumpin and spinning withought a board on. i would also buy this board just cuz of how fun it is to butter with, flex is perfect, rebounds just right but soft enough to just pop right on the tip or tail, add in the zero swing weight and youll be butterin like land-o-lakes...pop off the tail is crazy, added a good 6-12 inches to my ollies, probably due to the fact that i was riding a shorter board (went from 155 to 149), but still it pops like crazy. All i could use it for is freestyle and messin around...the second i hit chop with this IT took ME for a ride and bumbed me aroud like a pinball before planting me on my face, lesson learned...not, i still took it on a few black diamonds and had a few close calls with death, THEN it was lesson learned!...few more things, edge to edge was a little slow, really unstable ride, not too fast, but that was all probably because it was so short for me...........................................................BOTTOM LINE IS: if you want a fun fun fun ride, then be a man, buy womens! |

crap i messed up
03-06-09 ![]() |
there were lots of spelling mistakes in that review, sorry...my keyboard has keys that dont always work...but it actually changed my message in the bottom line...let me redo:...................ok so in all my rambling it seems like ive had nothing but complaints, but they actually are good bindings, im very critical of products but these are just littered with very minor problems, any REAL problems and i would not have put up with them for 3 years...these are great if you dont want to spend 300 on bindings and just want something that will do the job |

persimmon lens is ok, and thats it...it doesnt excell in any condition but doesnt lack in any either, except one...ill just go over the spectrum -BRIGHT SUN: stay away! this is not dark enough by far, after a bluebird day everything looked pink...i immediately went and got a darker lens -STORM/SNOW/FOG: contrast is laughable but at least the lens is light enough to see in those condtions, the mountain wont look like its shrouded in shadow -OVERCAST: contrast sucks again, but the shade of the lens is good for overcast -NIGHT: hard to decipher anything different, ice/snow/guy dressed in white/jumps, its all hard to see cuz theres no definintion or contrast, but at least the shade is light enought to see at night BOTTOM LINE: this lens kinda sucks, but it will work if your pinching pennys and need an all around lens, just stay away from the sun and be prepared for everything to turn orange :-) |

alright, these suck
03-03-09 ![]() |
ok so i already wrote a review but i was way too lienent...after using them a little more, i found out that these just suck, too thin and hard on the top of the foot, and that means that by the 3rd run, the top of your foot is screaming in pain...theres flexing bars on the sides of the boot and those dig into your ankle, and once again, your foot is screamin in pain, pain so bad that you cant walk the next day, im not exagerating (not too much)...it might be just my foot...and i didnt mention these problems earlier because i thought they would go away after some time to break em in, but halfway through the season i needed to drop the hammer and say the TRUTH!...and in line with other reviews, heel slip is awful and can rip up some skin, these just arent good boots...your going to end up dreading having to wear them...keep ur eyes peeled to brociety.com to look for some real quality boots |

I finnally found a way to wear goggles when im not on the mountian!!!!!!!!!...these are HUGE and have total robot stylin...riff raff aside they are very good glasses overall, a few prblems is that they move up A LOT when i smile, but thats probly because i have a tiny size 7 head, and they do move around a little when i look down and around and what not, but i dont use these during active activies so thats not really a problem...from a total style perspective they are perfect |

simply perfect glasses...clean styling, not over the top, not too big but not tiny elton john style either...modern frame shape bit easily a classic...and bombproof, theyve been stepped on and dropped on pavement and just put thru 3 years of torture, everywhere from campsites to resort snowboarding, and all there is to show for it is a few sratches on the lense and frame, they really should be in pieces, and if you buy here you can return them even if all you have is peices...cleanig is easy, the arms and lenses detach easily and can be cleaned seperatley...fits perfect on my 7 size head with miimal slipping, even while sweating and playing volleyball in the hot sun, and they just barley go up when i smile but thats normal for me...YOU JUST CANT GO WROG WITH THESE! |

A perfect fit.....
03-01-09 ![]() |
These seem to be tailor made to riders that want to listen to tunes and get style points at the same time...they are so light that you cant feel them on your head, but you can definitely hear them!...they are LOUD, and the sound quality doesn't suffer at high volumes, you can basically board in your own little world because you cant hear wind or those old geezers complaining about snowboarding destroying their beloved sport...and when you take a little spill, no sweat...i swear the cloth on the ears is made to stick to your beanie and goggle strap, and they fit snug too so they wont go flying off. oh yeah did i mention they look sick too? |

WHO WANTS THE LAST ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
02-28-09 ![]() |
this thing is awesome!...first of all its just a shell and its made out of goretex so im not going to talk about how waterproof it is...ill talk about the stuff that matters PROS: Tons of pockets; its like a duffel bag, really durable, the vents are super easy to open and close while wearing the jacket, zippers are easy to operate while wearing gloves, and style points! CONS: just a few things, powder skirt isnt detachable; but stowable with is almost a valid alternative, the hood isnt helmet compatible, two stage zipper SU-UH-UH-UH-UH-UH-CKS!...and the fit kinda mades you look like trapiziod, small at the chest and then balloons out going down BOTTOM LINE: superb spider performance, but its not perfect |

so i know these are for spring days and what not, but they dont even work then...anyone wonder why they dont mention comfort in the description? oh yeah cuz they are lined with sandpaper :-)...at least thats what if feels like, no fabric on the inside. theres basically no waterproofing which is still important in spring!...ur on a mountain covered in snow, so ur hands are bound to get a little wet, and then when the wind starts cuttin thru em...yeah its not pretty. |

im not impressed, heel hold is awful and theres nothing that makes them stand out, lacing seems expecially tedious...they are comfortable tho...that is after you have a little time to break em in, which is normal...these are just your normal everyday boots, nothing special |

02-18-09 ![]() |
good optics, quality, and anti fogging...but i just dont like em, fit is bad with lots of pressure on the forehead, they are really small and you can see lots of frame in your feild of vision, and the small size and round shape makes them a really bad fit with my red hi fi, mutiny, and my protec ace freecarve...mabye its just me but i prefer a bigger goggle with more style and better performance too |

i made the mistake of getting this for school, BAD IDEA!...the lack of pockets and small size make it bad for school, however as a riders pack...awesome!...easy to pack an extra layer, a pair of night goggles, and some snacks, glove liners, face mask and other small items...for when you ride all day and go day to night and want to stay hydrated...that's what i use it for. |

ok they are just regular ear buds, BUT they have a touch of style and the Skullcandy name that i think are worth paying an extra 5 bucks for...no complaints on the sound, they are comparable to ear buds anywhere from 30-70 dollars, but aren't boring and lame like all the others...These turn heads, are very iconic and priced right, so buy em |

Ok theyre 80 dollar heaphones so yeah they are nice, and they look so sick...but for 80 bucks i was expecting to blown away. the bass does suck (Mr. Crunk Juice :-)...and the rest of the sounds are tinny, they dont go very loud at all, and at high ("high") volumes, they crackle and static like crazy!!!! ugh!...i went back to listening to my low riders. i say these are totally fashion forward and lack on function, also they are a pain to wear around your neck, because the hinges dont have a full range of motion and are basically stuck in the position that you see in the picture, trust me! its a PAIN when they are around your neck...i say SKULLCRUSHERS! or low riders, or even the icons are the way to go if you want to enjoy your music...because in spite of this review i LOVE Skullcandy |

the basics
02-05-09 ![]() |
this is just a basic helmet, not very comfortable but not umcomfortable, venting is not very effective, and it is HEAVY. however, it is a working helmet, i took a lot of spills with it and theres no cracks or anything. my advice is to not skimp on something like a helmet, spend a some extra money on a smith holt or a RED helmet because they are much more comfortable and twice as light. |

i wear a size 7 hat and these goggles fit me incredibly, they are the most comfortable and well fitting goggles ive ever worn...now for the bad part (which is small) the ioized lense is half reflective and half see-thru, unlike von zippers chrome lenses, and i hate see-thru goggles, but besides that these goggles are perfect |

great looking helmet, very low profile, comfortable and the venting system is very cool, no gap with my dragon mace's or my von zipper feenoms, but my a frames fit HORRIBLE...even with the goggle gasket. the buckle is not a zip clip like the descritpion says and the white color stains whenever is it touches something that is ot white and the stains are permanent. |

THIS COULNT WAIT! BUY THESE BOOTS!
03-04-09 ![]() |
ok i tried mine on for the first time an hour ago and havent taken them off yet, i dont want to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...theres so much to say already -first and foremost these are hands down the most comfortable things i have EVER put on my feet (i ordered true to size too)...they cradle your feet perfectly and the cushioning is amazing, even when i pull them as tight as i possibly can, frightening myself that im going to break the strings, they are still mazingly comfortable, no pressure spots like all my previous boots...even pressure with a snug fit, incredible!...and no heel slipping either, its the best fitting boot ive ever experiences -next is the lacing system, for those of you used to previous years speed zone lacing systems, this isnt the same, all the laces are fixed and you dont have to pull around the middle two laces and hook em on the loop, streamlines the process...and its so fast!!!!! ive been using lace boots for a while and these take my lace up time from about 5 min to 1 min, its worth it too, i hated lacing my boots getting feet in is an easy glide, same thing with getting them out. -last thing, that noones really talked about...the flex is R-E-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S-L-Y SOFT!!!!!!!!! STRAIGHT UP S-T-U-P-I-D SOFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have to trust me, im not exagerating at all, you can lean foreward on the boots and they flex and collapse almost like you arent wearing boots at all, its insane amount of flex, like -10 on a 1 to 10 scale, and then they added the articulated cuff to boot! DO NOT WEAR THESE IF YOU ARE INTO BIG MOUNTIAN PURSUITS!...these are total park/freestyle boots, and the flex is perfect for walkig around, is essential for me BOTTOM LINE: i havent even worn them riding and i dont care, im not returning them for anything, if my feet ever hurt then im going to put these on becasue the amount of comfort will probably make my feet feel better. and what the heck guys? these fit very true to size, and they will pack out because of the moldable liner so you definitly have to order ur size ill write another review after i use em on mountian, i cant wait! |
