I am normally a large in most all jackets but I was swallowed by this jacket and barely made an escape. I am 6'1" and 170, the length on the sleeves was great as I am a 35" arm in dress shirts. I am going to order a medium and see how it fits in the body and will try to remember to report back. But buyer beware they gave this coat a Wal-Mart cut(read America).

These tights are great. They offer superior support of the knees as well as the hamstrings. They are sufficiently thick and provide great warmth. The 3/4 length is perfect for skiing as they don't bunch up in your boots.

These bindings are great if you are trying to set up a quiver of one. Powder day? move the back. Slaying groomers? move them forward.

They have great adjustability and can even be changed around for different BSLs.

I have had these on multiple pairs of skis and have thoroughly enjoyed them on all of them. I use this binding inbounds and for touring. I have had the smallest issue with the cartridges spinning but once I applied a touch of thread lock on them I haven't had any issues since. I have these paired up with Scarpa T-Races which is a seriously powerful setup.

Don't listen to the folks who spray hate on these. They are worth a try and if you don't like them you don't like them. I tried the 22 Designs and wasn't super stoked on them. So to each their own.

These bindings are great. I ski mostly in bounds on these as I have a dedicated touring rig with Dyna-Fits for the fast and light ascents. These work great for everything. Inbounds skiing, side country as well as backcountry. The only reason I give them four stars was due to some minor issues with the AFDs on these. I have the original Barons and the problem has been fixed since.

These kayak docks are awesome!! They attach easily to virtually ANY bar shape and simply put they work. Set them to the desired width and plop your boat in them to have a safe, damage free way to transport your valuable watercraft. They come with bow and stern straps as well as straps to secure fore and aft of the cockpit.

Not sure how to review a roof rack bar but these are great. I have had every length of these made on all sorts of vehicles. They have held bikes, kayaks, mattresses, mother in laws and everything else in between.

If you need a bar, this will work.

While these are no Icebreaker socks these are pretty awesome. They offer great arch support and after the first few times of wearing them have stopped pilling. No stink is the other bonus!!

Great all around use gloves. I am a large in these and wear a 10 in Hestras. These shed water great initially. I have SnoSealed them after about 3 days of skiing in them. Easy on easy off!!

So far these socks are holding up well. Initially they had some pilling but but after four or five times of wearing they have stopped and they hold their shape nicely. I am a size 10 foot and found that I can wear either size of these socks.

I have this jacket and let me tell you it is awesome. I have worn it from mountaineering to skiing to impromptu on slope dental extractions. This jacket is as tough as they come and and as dry as they come. The seams really are teeny tiny and the joints articulate better than Montel Williams on the Who's the daddy episodes.

The construction on this is impeccable and after one whole season of hammering it and traveling around the world of the US it has withstood everything without so much as a thread out of place, with one exception. That is the aforementioned dental extraction. I had a ski come down slope and hit me in the face. It was a powder day so I had the collar all the way up and the ski managed to knock out some teeth and in the process it put the smallest little cut in the collar where the remaining stumps of my teeth punctured through.

I foresee this jacket lasting at least 5 years maybe more.

If you are looking for a bomber do it all jacket this is your go to!!

This tire was great for the first ride. Great traction, it is fairly light weight for what it is, it is 980grams instead of the 1300 or so listed. It wasn't until I was on the pavement riding back to the house after the ride that I noticed the tire had a crazy hop to it. Little did I know it had a bead failure. I put the bike in the backyard while we drove back up to Mt. Bachelor to get the vehicle, upon returning home the tire had completely blown off the rim. It may be an isolated incidence but I won't risk being 20 miles out in the wilderness on this tire again.

Got these as a gift form my boyfriend and just love them. They are just so comfortable. Love they way they feel and look. Please Backcountry.com get some more XS so I can have some more.

I can't think of a single bad quality of this crank. It is light, it is stiff, it is extremely durable and it even looks good. These cranks hold up to all the abuse I can throw at them whether it is hooking pedals in a rock garden or standing up to north shore style drops. The logos even hold up really well as long as you arent duck footed and drag your shoes across them all the time. The BB is even pretty stout, however I have upgraded mine to a King BB for the durability and flash factor. So bottom line if you want a crank that is stiff light and durable this is it.

There is nothing I don't like about this stem. The machine work, the anodization, the logo work all the way down to the hardware they use they really hit a homerun. To be honest with all of the meticulous detail that this stem has it looks like it could fit in just fine on a space shuttle, wait they crash, maybe a Masserati. Not to mention you get good old fashioned made in the USA quality right out of Georgia.

If it weren't for the discouraging price these derailleurs fetch I would have them on every bike I ride. I run them when I can afford the, but mostly on my XC/AM rig as I can't afford to keep a stock of these for my DH/FR rig. The shifting on these combined with the XO shifters is unparalleled, it is crisp, fast and extremely precise. The 1:1 actuation is superb and the longevity this equipment displays is amazing as long as it does not get mangled in a brief contact with immovable objects.

These are awesome rotors, they are very straight out of the package and they have a great strength to weight ratio. They shed mud really well and have a generally short burn in period. I run these on all my bikes for their good price and great durability. They have withstood multiple bumps with rocks and even a slipped tire or two on bridge work and have remained nice and true.

These brakes help set the standard for the DH/Freeride brakes on the market! They are still lightweight enough they don't hamper that uber light DH race build but burly enough they can still be counted on the put a halt to that failed attempt at the 30 ft Road Gap you sissied out on. So whether you rally the Garbanzo DH or huck down Upper Oil Can these brakes are the stuff!

Great adjustability for reach and pad contact plus great modulation, none of that on/off braking.
Brakes I have owned in the past: Magura Gustav(the OG yellow ones), Hayes Nine, Shimano XT(older style), All the Avid Juicy brakes, and even a few sets of the old Magura HS-22 on my old bikes.

These shorts are awesome. They are light weight enough that they don't feel like burlap sacks but burly enough that they dont fall apart. I am on my third season with these and the only draw back that I have found with them is the Chamois can have that full diaper feeling when are standing around drinking beers at the end of the trial. That being said I have cranked out long epics in these and at the same time spent the whole day riding lifts at Whistler in them and they held up great!

This pedal design has been proven in many different iterations over the years. They come in all different price points to meet anybodies budget. As a minimalist piece they will require a little more bearing and bushing maintenance. But for the lightweight simplistic design of the pedal makes up for the necessary maintenance. So if you are looking for pedal that doesn't clog with mud and you don't need a huge platform this is your pedal.

Hands down the best all around chain tool for consumer use. If you have a dedicated bicycle tool box this needs to be in it! With replaceable pins, two chain link saddles and large T-handle for added chain breaking power this is the tool to get the job done. This chain tool has the all important extra saddle for loosening that stiff link that has been causing all of your chain skipping consternation. For frequent users this tool is equipped for replaceable push pins to keep you from deforming your outer links and getting your chain stuck on the tool!

Consider me a convert. After years and years of using The OG Park Pedal wrench with a 9/16 on one side and a 15mm on the other side and using the 9/16 only once or twice I decided it was time to switch. What a glorious transition it was too. No more repositioning the cranks for a better angle on the wrench flats and no more squinting to see which side to use when in a hurry. Hopefully the girlfriend doesnt figure out how great this wrench is and decide that she would rather have it than the new PW-4 I bought right before handing her down my old pedal wrench.

Dont think a tool like this is worth the coin, you will next time you crush your carbon steerer or snap that fancy Ti bolt you just ponied up for to shave some weight. That aside, a properly torqued bike is a safe and happy bike. Put your fingers around this and give a pull, but make sure you stop when you hear the click! Goes really great with a set of these(with a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter)... http://www.hucknroll.com/mountainbike/Park-Tool-Socket-and-Bit-Set-SBS-1/PAR0138M.html

As for an all around easy to use hitch mounted bike rack there should be no other choice in your mind. Thule hit a home run on this one. Strong enough for my DH bike and adjustable enough to fit even my 20 incher this rack does it all. The easy to use ratcheting tire hook cinches down over the front wheel quickly and securely, snug up the rear tire strap and you are all set. As mentioned by Hating Ohio below the locking mechanism leaves a little to be desired but if you are spending $400 on a rack then you are obviously an avid cyclist and would never trust your bike to a simple rack lock. I carry a cable lock with me at all times as a deterrent to less than honest people, lets face it if someone wants your whip they are gonna get it.
Now onto the the details, available in a 2" or 1 1/4" this can fit either hitch type and provides a secure interface between rack and vehicle. Add on the 2 bike extension and this rack is capable of handling four DH bikes(trust me, Done It). You can't beat this rack for shuttle runs with your buddies in Post Canyon or setting shuttle on the McKenzie river trail.

Light, well ventilated and stylish. Everything an h-core Roadie could want, eh. I have been riding this helmet for the last year or so and have been thoroughly pleased. I wear it on my MTB, my cross bike and as a road helmet. It might be a little light duty as a MTB helmet but it gets the job done. It is like I am wearing nothing at all.

This tool kit is a great beginning to being on your way to full blown home/race tent mechanic. It has almost all the tools you will need to service your bike. There are a few additions to this that would make it even more stellar. I would recommend a Park Home Mechanic headset press and also the Park headset removal tool. With the addition of these two tools and a little grease gun you should be all set to make any repairs/overhauls you need. Park has been making bike specific tools since there was such thing so they know whats up.

These are tubes, the same tubes you will likely find at any LBS with a different brand stamped on them. I would venture a guess the large majority of generic inner tubes are all manufactured in a handful of plants. So if you want your tube to hold air in a non pretentious I need ultra-light latex kinda way then these tubes will work just fine.

It does exactly what is supposed to, it adapts. I like the nice finished look of the avid adapters, they have a nice beadblasted smooth finish and seem to have a durable anodized finish.

You cant go wrong with one of these! I have three or four different iterations at this point. I got my first when I was crutch bound for 6 months from an injury. I have had a few more over the years and and they have all been great, not one of them has worn out. I even have one that I found on the streets of Holland in a rubbish pile. I think it has to be my favorite. If you need a messenger don't hesitate to grab a Timbuk2.

I picked up one of these for my mini-dh/wanna pedal to the top bike because I needed a little longer seatpost. All I can say is WOW, what the hell have I been waiting to purchase one of these for. I now have one on my AM bike as well and it is so worth the weight gain.

A little note on function. It may seem that the post is not working properly and feels spongy at the top of it's stroke. All you have to do to remedy this is cycle the post up and down a few times to get that solid feel back. After sitting for any length of time you may find it necessary to do this.

I bought these with the intention of cutting them down. I have them on my Intense Slopestyle and am pretty happy with them. They definitely hinder some of the tight moves on the singletrack. Where these bars shine is the descents. The added control of the amazing wingspan on these is incredible(790mm). I jumped back on my AM rig this weekend and it felt like someone switched my bars with some fixie kids bike.

This wrench does its job. It is simple and effective and even opens bottles. It has a 15mm socket wrench and a 15mm open end box wrench for pedals. Other than that it isn't useful for much other than throwing at someone because it is kinda heavy.

I wear this jacket mainly as a commuting piece to cut the breeze early in the AM. I live in the desert where one might think sweating out wouldn't be a problem. This jacket does an honorable but not amazing job of breathing. It would be nice to have a set of pit zips or perhaps some small core vents. I am 6' and 175lbs and I am wearing the large. Sleeve length is great but it could be slightly more tapered in the body. I look forward to using this more in the fall as an MTB Jacket and am sure it will be more adequately suited to that purpose for me.
