Really fun boat
12-08-06 ![]() |
I paddled this boat into the depths of canyons in Lake Powell. I loved it. It's super manueverable and will turn on a dime. It's really stable, you can keep yourself upright while trying to knock your friend outta his boat. It's got some storage room, so it is great for day trips. It did well in boat wakes, and would be great for rivers. |

Fun kayak!

I'm definitely giving this one a 5. This boat was so fun to paddle, and is really easy to turn and manage in rough waters as well. I found it to be a really versatile boat that you can take pretty much anywhere. It's weird that the cockpit is so large, but that gives you more room. |

Fun boat
12-17-06 ![]() |
I like this boat because it's really easy to turn around on a dime. It's suuuuper stable (it's really wide). The seat is really comfortable and there is plenty of room in the cockpit. It doesn't track that great if you're trying to tour for a long time but it does good in moving water and stuff like that. I thought it was kind of weird that the cockpit on it was sooo big. That kind of defeats the purpose of having a sit in kayak, doesn't it? But just throw on a spray skirt and you will be fine! And actually if you had a small dog you could throw them in there in front of you. |

Big Yak...
12-08-06 ![]() |
This is a great kayak for taller or heavier paddlers. Not so great if you're none of the above. It would be harder to manuever that way. Great for places like Florida or the coastlines, playing in the surf. Light enough to carry around on your own. Very durable. And it gets a 5 because it has a cupholder for your favorite adult beverage. |

Great touring kayak
12-08-06 ![]() |
I used this kayak on a lake trip. It's a very fast boat. I like the storage compartments and the seat was very comfy. My only complaint is that it gets a little squirrelly with undercurrents in the water...but the rudder helps that. Could have more room for taller paddlers, I'm 6' and found it tight. |

The Go-To of kayaks
12-17-06 ![]() |
I've paddled a bunch of Carolinas and always have had fun in them. This boat is so versatile and easy to paddle. It's stable and it tracks well. It is made out of a durable plastic so I didn't worry about bashing it on rocks when pulling into shore. I like the hatches, store my food and extra clothes for day trips in there. My only complaint about this boat is that the cockpit seems a little small for someone that is 6 feet tall with long legs. |

Nice recretional boat
12-08-06 ![]() |
I really like this kayak for tooling around the coastlines or lakes. It's long enough so it tracks really well. It is really durable and survived a beating of me getting it onto the beach from the sandbar (low tide). It's wide and stable. |

I love my Blizzard goggles. I have the persimmon lenses and wear them on cloudy and snowy days. They are great, and give good definition to the snow even in low light. They never fog!!!! |

Solid winter boot
12-11-06 ![]() |
I think this is a good boot. The vibram soles are really good in the snow. They're super warm. My boy likes them for snowshoeing because of the little lip deal on the back for a more bomber connection. He also hooks his gaiters on the D ring, nice feature. |

Keep your boats safe
12-08-06 ![]() |
Instead of putting your boats right onto your rack bars, get these Thule saddles. I've used these for all sorts of different kayaks and they work great. They are really adjustable and provide a great spot for the kayaks to rest. They are bombproof when paired with their Thule tie downs. I felt comfy driving 8 hours with 2 boats on top with this set up. |

Rattles a bit...
12-08-06 ![]() |
I love these bindings. I use them for touring and for on piste as well. They are pretty stiff and bombproof. I've only had them click into touring mode once when downhill skiing. They do tend to rattle a bit on hardpack, but they're made for pow anyway! |

BEST chick's skis EVER
12-08-06 ![]() |
I got the Nancy's in a 179. I ski all mountain and park and LOVE these skis to death. They are so fun. They cut right through crud, float awesomely in the pow pow, and have enough flex to hit the park. My only complaint is they're a little heavy, but who cares! |

12-08-06 ![]() |
Get the Public Enemy's. They rock. My friend has a pair and I borrowed them, and I'll probably steal them for sure. They are a great all mountain ski that can kill it in the park too. Stiff enough to carve hard and rip through crud, wide enough to float in pow. |

| Betty Rides Survival Cargo Insulated Pant - Women's Read other reviews of this product |
Best pants ever.
12-17-05 ![]() |
These are the best riding pants I've ever owned. Period. They have too many features to list. Awesome zips on the bottoms, good venting, lots of pockets, loops for keys or pass, and an absolutely sick comfortable fit. The insulation isn't too hot either. They run long. |

Awesome riding jacket.
12-17-05 ![]() |
A jacket packed full of awesome features and nice style. Love the powder skirt, removable hood, and love the ninja cuffs. Vest on the inside is awesome for the bar, but is a little hot for riding. Seems to fit baggy, size down one size from your normal size. |

Got this for riding, and it's so warm! Use it as a mid-layer. It runs pretty true to size, although the large seemed a little big. Like the stretch panels on either side. |

Oh yeah

The Clash is such a fun and versatile ride. Take it on groomers, take it in pow, take it into the park. It will handle anything. Easy and fun to ride. I think the graphics on my board from a couple years back are way better than this years though!! |

Pretty comfortable
12-09-06 ![]() |
I've had this Hind bra for about a year and use it mostly for skiing or trail running. I really like the built in cups and support. It's also pretty breathable and not hot. I do NOT like how the straps cut into my shoulders so much. They need to be thicker! |

Surf boat!
12-08-06 ![]() |
This is the best kayak to use for surfing around in. It's really short and manueverable, great for messing around in waves. I found it a little hard to track well in on flat water, but that's to be expected for this kind of boat. My cousin also loved this boat, she's 8. It's easier for her to paddle. |

Awesome touring boot
12-08-06 ![]() |
I love my G Rides. They are stiff, responsive and high quality. They're easy to get in and out of, and once you heat mold them they fit like a glove. My only complaint would be the inner liner lacing is kind of hard to lace when it's cold out. |

I love this life jacket because it's specially tailored to a women's body. It fits more comfortably than any other life jacket I've tried out and is comfy for kayaking. |

Bomber hydration
12-08-06 ![]() |
I got this hydration pack for skiing. It holds just the right amount of water for a day's worth of skiing. I like the two compartments on the front, I throw in a hat or some food. It's low profile and doesn't have a bunch of straps to get caught on the lift. |

I have a slightly older version of this pack and don't get me wrong, it rocks. It is huge, great space. I love how the hip belt is super plush padded, and it fits me really well. But the pack itself is HEAVY compared to others in its class. |

I bought this for my father for Christmas last year. He lives in Florida but travels quite a bit. He loves it because it is so versatile, he can unzip the fleece for just a light jacket, wear the shell alone for rain, or both for ultimate protection. A+! |

I liked the Lexas first off because of their sick looks. The cap straps function very well and the actual clickers on the bindings are good. They are somewhat stiff but could have been more responsive. Nice quality. |

FUN
12-17-06 ![]() |
I paddled one of these babies down the middle fork of the Flathead River in Montana. Wow, what can I say. It was an unforgettable experience. It is definitely a fun boat, but it kind of bucks when you hit big rapids which in turn causes you to get flipped out of it. This would be a really fun boat to play around in on more mellow rivers and lakes, but from my experience with it I wouldn't take it on anything over Class II. |

I have the Ride Lx bindings from a couple years ago. I like them for freeriding and have them on my rock board. I don't use them very much but they're good bindings. Pretty versatile because they're not very stiff. The toe strap is a little uncomfortable compared to my Burton Lexa bindings but it works. |

12-08-06 ![]() |
I love these midweight pants, I wear them every time I ski underneath my ski pants. They fit great, but they're not the best for tall chicks with long legs. Even the size large has super short length. |

Great boat for cruising around on flat rivers or lakes, even on the coastline. Space in middle for your dog is cool, except for when they try to jump out and knock you off balance. This boat is really durable, affordable and a great starter boat. |

Loved this paddle because it was so darn LIGHT! I'd say it had medium stiffness when encountering hard strokes in the water. It's crazy how light it is, it really noticeably cut down on my arm fatigue. |
