For the price, these are pretty nice glasses. They do a great job protecting the eyes from glare and wind, and they stay in place very well thanks to the long rubberized earpieces. The primary weakness of these glasses is that they have a cheap plastic frame, and also the lenses are not very durable -- one of the lenses has a small crack after a month of admittedly pretty rough use.

These are great boots for the backcountry. They are flexible enough for comfortable touring and hiking, and are quite light compared to alpine boots. In ski mode, the boots still have a lot of flex, which takes a little getting used to. But it is definitely worth the trade-off for an easier climb. My only gripe is with the placement of the buckle across the foot arch. It is extremely vulnerable to getting caught on rocks/ice/snow while climbing, and can easily be broken off completely. Reversing the buckle would probably make a big difference.
