Great Stove
03-23-09 ![]() |
This little stove does great. Boils water much faster than I expected and burns evenly when you want to fry something up. Really light and packs small. Also has a good surface area (pots and pans don't want to fall off). Good buy in my mind. |

I'd give it more than 5 stars if they'd let me.

The sickest board I've ever been on period. This board does it all. Floats on the pow, flat out cooks on the groomers, holds an edge like no other, and it has plenty of pop. The board is super light which makes it super easy to initiate turns and spins. I hit a couple of kickers and landed all tweaked but the board is so manuverable I was able to pull out of the weird landings. Every day I strapped in I was impressed by something else it had to offer. The koa topsheet really gets peoples attention too. You hear " wow, is that real wood?" and you get to say "damn strait". It looks so cool, I can't tell you how many people gave me compliments. If you like to hit the whole mountain, the element is what you want. |

Long but a nice shirt
03-26-09 ![]() |
Whats the deal with the length? Really nice shirt, and the fit is nice. Good slim fit. But the length of the shirt is odd. Im 6'1" and wear a med. t-shirt, and this shirt was almost to my knees. Its really no big deal though, I ran it through the was and it's better, still a bit long but I like it. If you wanted to you could hem it. Regardless, a good price for a nice shirt. |

I could leave a huge review for these shoes but I'd just be repeating the other reveiws. I will say that they are the most durable pair of shoes I've ever owned. Buy them now. |

| Giro 2008 G10 Bluetooth Audio Helmet Read other reviews of this product |
Nice helmet but....
03-24-09 ![]() |
If your gonna get the G10, don't get the audio version. The mute button doesn't work and I hear that people have problems with bluetooth. My main dissapointment is the speakers in the ear pads will make your ears hurt like hell after wearing the helmet for a couple of hours. So then the helmet is useless because you take it off. I would like the helmet if it weren't for that because it fits very well and the adjustability is nice. It keeps your head nice and warm and the vents are easy to open/close even with gloves on. I think it would be a great helmet without all of the audio crap. |

I like
03-24-09 ![]() |
I got these goggles a couple of seasons ago and haven't needed another pair. They seem to do well in any light. Great peripheral vision and super comfortable. I also ride with a Giro G10 helmet and they fit perfectly as promised by Giro. All in all I think they're a great pair of goggles and highly recommend them. |

Nice Bag
03-24-09 ![]() |
I really like this bag so far. Went desert camping in Feb. and woke up with a good layer of frost all over but I was warm and dry. I've never been too hot or cold in this bag. Very comfy. It is a bit bulky when packed but it fits in my pack just fine. All around, I think it's a great 3 season bag and a good price. |

Nice shades
03-24-09 ![]() |
I've had these for about 4 years now and I love them. They're really comfortable and pretty durable(they have hit the ground countless times) other than some scratches, they're holding up. Not the best for activity however, they dont hang on to my face when I sweat, but I might have an irregular shaped noggin. I just use them for casual shades and they look sweet. Good buy if your into the squared off look. |

Good shell for fair weather
03-22-09 ![]() |
Got them off of tramdock thinkin I got a steal but i wasn't too impressed. They're pretty baggy and and there is absolutely no insulation, so a base layer is neccessary. If your in fair weather they work good but if the wind starts whippin you'll get cold. I never had a problem with moisture though, I stayed pretty dry. So unless your looking for just a shell, I wouldn't recommend these. |

Killer Jacket!
03-22-09 ![]() |
I love this jacket. It blocks wind extremely well, sheds water extremely well, and keeps you warm while being very lightweight. I live in Northern Az. so it gets nippy but I spent time in Colorado this winter and it kept me warm in single digit temps. Also a great everyday jacket, I honestly can't say that I've been cold in it yet. Not to mention it looks great and it fits really well. Good gift as well. I recommend you buy one. |

Well It's a Spork

Don't get wrong, I like it. But how much can you say about a spork? It gets the food in my mouth. Definitely a good buy though. |

Great Stuff
03-22-09 ![]() |
I purchased the small set for backpacking and it works great for me. Doesn't take up a lot of room and tends to all your cooking needs. Enough room inside to store the handle, pocket stove, and a canister of fuel if thats how you want to do it. Some people say it's heavy but I don't think so. Great to cook with and easy to clean up. I'm a fan. |
