The Holtis by far the best helmet out right now. I have rocked RED helmets for a couple of years but they just do not compare the comfort of the Holt. Also with a pair of Smith Phenoms the Holt offers a stellar venting system with Smith's AirEvac.

These are awesome bindings. I thought I was going to break them the first day with the mesh high back but I didn't. Burton has done it yet again and produced a binding that is more comfortable then their other bindings and weighs less. If you ride the Cartels and really don’t like the Sky Back, shell the extra $$$ and get the CO2. You will be as surprised as much as I was with their abilities.

I cant say how stoked I have been for the last two years hearing about these goggles. Smith finally released a Spherical goggle that is fitted for medium to large faces. Look at the Fuse for a smaller fit and the Prodigy for a large fit. The Phenom fits prefect with the Smith Holt Helmet and does not fog, if you take care of the goggle properly. The spherical shape also allows for the best peripheral vision.

This is a great pack. I really have nothing bad to comment about this one. The X system to hold the board upright secures your board as tightly as I have ever encountered. The bag includes plenty of storage space for a day in the backcountry hiking or skinning. The straps are pretty comfortable and easily adjustable. Also the space for a shovel and a probe is large enough to keep on the inside or outside. Great pack.

This is probably the best audio helmet on the market. Great price and function. The headphones are just loud enough so you can hear them, but you can also hear what is going around you so you don’t do a scorpion over some little kid.

The Analog Valve jacket is just what I was looking for this year. It features a fully seam sealed waterproof jacket with a DWR finish. It is just a basic shell with a ALS lining from Burton. But with Analog the most important feature of this jacket in white are the mini green skiers doing twirly birds, iron crosses, and some switch skiing.

Pretty solid dual season helmet. Lightweight and good enough to stop me from cracking my skull any further. The padding in this helmet allows for a winter snowboard helmet with the small beanie included and a summer skate helmet as well. I bet this helmet company goes up significantly in the next few years.

You need this board. It wants you for all mountain domination. For 11 years now Burton has produced this monster board that everyone wants to ride. The directional twin shape is stellar for hitting it hard in the park and then taking it to the backcountry to throw down some 9's in the pow pow. There is no other reason for any other board. It could possibly handle a size 11 boots and if you have a larger one you can look at the Baron, which is a similar wide version of the Custom.

I was so stoked to get the Goya pant until I rode in it. This is a great park pant for colder days. The overall weight is pretty heavy and the wool does stick to some snow. But for a park pant these are great, they are warmer with the wool outer compared to a shell pant. Also they are pretty baggy and provide stellar steeze.

Overall these are probably the best bindings I have had in a long time. The cap strap pushes your foot all the way back. A little trouble fitting the 32 boots into the cap strap, but that can be fixed. Great freestyle support.

Pretty solid tshirt. Logo is nice and large to get the extra exposure when your on the street the only issue I have is it shrinks a little small. Once I washed it the Large fits more like a Medium. Would be interesting to see how a XL would fit.

I ride a 10-speed everyday to school and occasionally I get into some guffs with cars. Instead of carrying a regular pack I have moved to the Classic Messenger Bag. They are super durable and are fairly resistant should a car decide to hit you. The thick fabric helps to keep your items protected from water and all of nature’s forces. Also the strap is a little uncomfortable but can be adjusted to fit any torso.

These are probably the best vent pants on the market. I have been riding them since the beginning of the season in Utah and have had no problems with them at all. The cross vents have allowed for air to travel through and leave me comfortable. If you are searching for some great pants with fleece knees and an excellent vent system these are the pants for you.

These gloves are killer, but the hook-and-loop fastener on the gloves broke on the first day. Customer Service was nice enough to exchange them for a new pair, and since then I have not had any other problems with them. They are extremely warm so you might want to get a thin pair of Pipe gloves to go along with these.

These park/freestyle specific bindings are surprisingly comfortable, lightweight, and responsive. The Team Sky Back also helps with responsiveness in the park and throwing down tricks off natural features. Throw it down with some buds and get the Cartel and show them who is the Jefe is.

These slippers are great and really cheap as well. The only issue that I have with them is that they fit about a full size to a size and a half large. I would recommend to purchase a full size smaller than you normally fit. Otherwise they are good and warm.

You need this pack of stickers. What else can you do but go out with a pack of DogFunk stickers and let everyone know who hooks ya up!!! For $5 you can get a pack of stickers instead of eating at Arby's. Who wants to eat there?

I have been riding Forum and 32 for the past couple years and after one day of riding these all I can say is WOW! So much comfort it is like being comforted by a sand bag that just forms right over your foot. The quick lace system is fast. No need to spend five minutes tightening your laces, 30 seconds and you’re done with both.

killer don shoes to show how baller you really are. killer fit and awesome comfort. the only issue i have is that they let the cold in if you are in cold temperatures. but otherwise great shoes to loaf around the office in.

Sushi... Tuna... Shorts... super excellent. Just don't get too wet cause white shorts tend to show some skin.

These are some of the best skate shoes I have skated in for the past 5 years. Highly recommend these shoes to the person who is looking for a great shoe to continue skating in.

I purchased this jacket for a functional casual looking jacket and so far it has met the needs of the job. The only complaint I have about it is the length. I wish it was a little bit longer to go a bit further but overall it is a great jacket for blocking the wind and cold. I really enjoy the look of it as well as it functions as a fleece but has more of a softshell look to it.

I am stoked on these pants. They breathe really well and are well-suited for riding the entire mountain, from park to powder. I did get a rip in them from a tree, but I am pretty sure that was my fault not the pants. Overall I really enjoy the AK Cargos as an all-mountain pant.

I have been riding the Ions for 4 years and they are by far the best boot I have found for slaying the entire mountain. If the lacing system breaks like it did on another review Burton will replace them for you for one year. Also this year I was surprised that Burton did not provide the removable stiffener. Instead the boot was stiffened. So if you liked your Ions from the last couple of seasons maybe look at the SL9, it is a softer boot.

These are probably the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. After heat molding it feels like my feet are comfortably surrounded by sand. Comfort at its best. The lacing system also allows me to get on the hill quicker and easier then the rest of my buddies stuck with lace ups!

Being used to longer, skinnier telemark skis, I found myself over-compensating the first few runs before discovering I needed only the slightest amount of pressure to initiate turns. When coupled with stiffer bindings, they provided an edge control allowing me to negotiate turns much more rapidly than on my old skis. I was able to blow through chop while still retaining control. When there’s fresh powder they’re an absolute skiing delight!

These goggles are a great function, especially for their price. Some might find the goggle a little bit small on larger faces but they fit fine. Also, they do tend to ice over pretty easily on very cold windy days but all goggles do.

This is one of the best boards I have ridden in a couple years. Also the rainbow graphic will let everyone on the mountain closely observe your grasser, nipans, tindys, and boneless nut grabs. With all of that attention who can say that you are not the best snowboarder on the mountain?
