P for Plush
12-13-06 ![]() |
These bindings are super comfy and plush, so if you are complaining about straps then try these out. They did lack a bit on the responsiveness. I guess it is all about trading performance for comfort. All in all they did the job better than a Lazy Boy Chair. If you want more responsiveness get the CO2s as they are almost as comfy as these. |

| Lib Technologies 1986 Magne-Traction Mullet Snowboard Read other reviews of this product |
Best Tapered Board out there
12-18-06 ![]() |
I have ridden many of the tapered powder boards and this one is definitely my favorite. This is much more of an all mountain board than many of the others. It rides a bit stiffer and carves much better. Then add the Magne-Traction and it holds to ice. The only drawback is that it is a bit heavy, but I will take that for better performance any day. |

Everyone must try Magne-Traction
12-18-06 ![]() |
After riding this board and other Lib Techs with Magne-Traction I have come to the conclusion that everyone must try this new and crazy design. It really makes carving effortless. I wish I had this when I was riding straight ice on the North Island of New Zealand. Besides carving this board is an awesome all mountain freestyle with nice pop and a smooth flex. |

Suprateam Super Sweet

I have used this board in everything from deep Utah powder to New Zealand ice. If you can give it then this board can handle it. Not for the faint or heart (or beginners). This board works well as a do everything board, mainly focused on all mountain freestyle. |

Lightweight award of the year
12-14-06 ![]() |
These boats are lighter and have a smaller profile than my hiking boots. Since I was a size 8 I had to get the size small bindings for them. The Burton lacing system is amazing. Easy to adjust on the lift, too. The boot was a bit to narrow in the toe box. Luckily it opened up after about 15 days of riding. The support was about average. Not stiff and not flexible. |

Comfy and Responsive
12-18-06 ![]() |
These bindings were much more comfortable than I thought they would be. Then add the responsiveness to them and they kind of handle it all. These did hurt my feet when I strapped them down as tight as I normally do. The thing is, I didn't have to because they help my foot really well with out the tightness. |

| The North Face Hedgehog GTX XCR Hiking Shoe - Men's Read other reviews of this product |
Great shoe as long as you pack less than 30 lbs
12-15-06 ![]() |
Yes, I used these on a 3 day pack trip while carrying over 30lbs. By the end of the trip it was apparent that they were not made for that. These shoes are a sweet DAY hiking shoe. Waterproof, very comfortable and they hold up pretty well. The tongue is a bit weird. If you have bone spurs on the top of your foot you might have some pain until you get the tongue to sit in the right way. Plus they look pretty sweet. |

The do everything boot
12-14-06 ![]() |
I used these boots as my only pair of shoes for 6 months in New Zealand. I did everything from Backpack with a 30+ lb pack to walking through museums. Temperatures ranged from 0 to 80, and weather conditions from dry to snow to when the hell is this rain going to stop. These took it all and with only slight scuffing on the ankle area. They stayed dry to the bone (except when I had to walk through waist deep water) and very comfortable for a wide footed person as my self. If you something between a full on backpacking boot and trail runner this is it. I love these things. |

| Nidecker Megalight Snowboard Read other reviews of this product |
Talk about stiff
12-18-06 ![]() |
I really think that Nidecker gets overlooked too often. If you are looking for a stiff fast board this is the one. I would classify this in the same line as the Salomon Burner. This thing is so stiff it took me a bit to get used to it. I would have to say I got bucked by it a few times. Overall for how big this board is it is very lightweight, which is always helpful when trying to pull a 720 off your favorite cliff. |
