Great Coat
10-07-08 ![]() |
This Coat is great. It's a little longer/taller fit than the traditional Spyder fit. No wind comes up your back. When you cartwheel/starfish no snow is creeping up your back and getting lodged in the tops of your ski pants. It's super warm on really cold days with just a good first layer on underneath. And it looks cool. |

Stoked on Atomic Thug
12-16-08 ![]() |
Atomic Thugs. Atomic has had a stranglehold on the racing scene for some time - and still does. Over the last couple years they have broadened their horizons with a big-mountain ski; the THUG. I have skied Alta every day for the last 2 weeks on this ski. I really like the ski. It charges through the crud - kind of bulldozes. And skis pow incredibly well. I am a big fan of this ski. Very mobile skis considering the dimensions. Nimble. Look out for the new bad-ass skis coming out from Atomic for next season!!! |

Variant

Description: This helmet is awesome. It is lightweight and has vents that open up to cool you off and close up to keep you warm on the bitter days. It looks really good with the Smith Phenom goggles or the new I/O goggles from Smith. |

This ski is the best. It is playful enough to pump and get little airs off bumps in the fluff, then they are like a cadillac and bulldoze your path through the chop. Then, obviously, they ski powder like Jordan knocking down free throws - such ease. This ski truly skis for you and makes you a better skier. |

These gloves are warm and flex well and retain shape and snugness. The cuff on the glove is protected with leather trim with the cuff being internal - really cool. Plus the colors available are quite original. |

PERFECTshirt

What's up with all these people saying the t-shirt is too tall? It's just right. And the best part is the arm sleeves are just the right length, they don't go past your elbows, most shirts that fit appropriately (longer), the sleeves go 3/4 down your arm to make you look like a thug with baggy-ass style. This shirt is slim, a little longer than most t's, and sleeves are adjusted accordingly. I LOVE the fit, look, style of this shirt. And it's soft. |

Ski / hike / hang out

I love this jacket for looks, comfort, and functionality. I wear it as a perfect mid-layer for skiing. I wear it out on the town. And I wear it when out on a fall/spring hike. |

LOVE these bars
10-18-08 ![]() |
I spend over 100+ days a year skiing/hiking. Every morning I eat I PRO BAR and a banana, providing me with the energy to hike/play/ski all day. SUPER FOOD slam is one of my favorite flavors. You can tell you are actually eating REAL ingredients. Every few bites you get a big chocolate chip (organic of course like the rest of the bar). I highly suggest trying or just simply switching over to PRO BAR if you are a fan of Clif bar. |

A traditional nalgene is a bit too big for my liking to lug around when hiking or out in the backcountry skiing. This bottle is durable and just the right size. Very stoked on it.! |

Hesitant on the Aggressive Flavor, but is Damn good
11-11-08 ![]() |
I have been eating PRO BAR like it's going out of style for the last year, as a professional skier, I am out hiking at 4am and my day doesn't end until sunset sometimes. So, I am VERY selective in my nutritional needs when out there amongst it. I LOVE the ART's Original Blend flavored PRO BAR, eat it almost every day. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try the Koka Moka. So good. Not in a 'weird' way. It just tastes good. I've eaten a few now, where I'll say to myself that I have to eat it over an hour period. I make it about 10 minutes every time. |

Davos pant are the best snow pants on earth.! A great fit, functionality is very good, just the right amount of pockets in the right places. And with the high-back suspenders, you won't ever have soggy-ass again. Very comfortable. |

Sticky and Grippy
04-04-09 ![]() |
Let me just say I have had issues with skins in the past. FINALLY these BD skins are what I have been looking for. I've used them all season in the Wasatch and BC. Warm weather, really cold weather. They stay on, they stay sticky, they stay grippy. |

Clean Coat
04-02-09 ![]() |
This coat is the perfect skiing coat. You can wear a thin first layer under this coat on cold days, and a thicker first layer under it on cold days. The jacket has alot of great features, clean look/design, and fits a little longer - which is great for keeping out the snow and wind from coming up your back. And the chin cuff is perfect. Great coat. |

This pack holds just the perfect amount of room for skins/trekkers, extra pair of goggles, water, snack, and extra (small) layer. The straps are adjustable for how far up or down you want the top strap to sit across your chest. This pack is pefect for day outings. |

I don't DJ or have a need for 'PRO' quality headphones, however, once you listen to the quality of these headphones - whether chilling at home, flying, or walking to class - you'll be very happy with your purchase. Music/songs you've heard a million times sound amazing, like you are listening to them for the first time again. AMAZINGheadphones. Enjoy. |

Zippers are glove-friendly to operate. Pockets are fleece lined. Ventilation is in groin/thigh area - just where you need it. Thickness of pant is just right. Zipper on bottom of pant to cover boot accordingly. Waterprooof/windproof. Warm on cold days/light enough on spring days. Enjoy. |

Down with this Down jacket from Spyder
03-17-09 ![]() |
I love this jacket. It has a taller/slimmer fit for a down jacket, but still feels cozy/warm like a bigger/more poofy down jacket. Just the right amount of pockets. And the chin cuff is the perfect height. |

Good purchase

No wires. No cold hands. If you like listening to music when you're skiing/snowboarding - you'll love these. You don't have to worry about wires and cold fingers any longer. Super quality audio quality. Super comfortable. Battery power strong. Great purchase, especially for $$. |

Perfect for multi-activity
03-09-09 ![]() |
I use these when I wear a helmet skiing - super comfortable and great audio quality. I use these when I'm biking, no problems with them falling out of my ear. I use them when I go to the gym, allowing me to tune into my music instead of the blaring gym techno. |

Sick shades

I've been wearing these sunglasses all year. I wear them hanging, boating, apres, recreating, etc. They have a sick look to them, and sit well on your nose and ears. |

Plain design with style
03-07-09 ![]() |
I like this jacket because it comes off simple, but has style. The buttons down the front are unique, look real cool, and functional. The jacket itself has a nice slimmer/taller fit and removable fur. I like this jacket with a decent layer on cold days, and coat with a first layer on the normal temp days. Get it!! |

Highly Endorse

I like this jacket for my mid-layer under my shell. The lack of chin cuff makes it perfect for a non-bulky feel. Functional wise, it's a home run. And i wear it as a 'out on the town' jacket as well. |

Description: These headphones are great for skiing, traveling, and even going to the gym (if you don't do tons of cardio - just blast the quads). They are lightweight and they fold up to fit in the palm of your hand when you need to stash them in your carry on when you fly. And the sound is quality. You'll be bumping. |

Revy Jacket
01-12-08 ![]() |
Description: This jacket is really warm on the cold days with a decent layer underneath, and it is perfect on a warm spring day with a t-shirt underneath - not that many jackets can do that. Lots of pockets that don't seem attention needy. And a perfect collar that you can nestle your chin in on the cold days. I like this jacket in White. |

These pants just have a nice fit. They have adjustable sizing, so if you have small/wide hips you can get them not to sinch, but to fit right. Good pockets and good ventilation. I like these pants in Bison color. |

These goggs make you feel like you a savvy F16 jet fighter. Your range of sight is better than any goggle, the ease of changing out your lenses is no longer a frustration, and you get to pretend you are flying an F16 or a single prop plane from the 40's - your choice. |
