Salomon Sentinel Ski

October 8, 2010

Yea your looking at two totally different skis. The El Dictator has one thing in mind... god straight down as fast as possible. The Sentinal is a sweet ski, but you can go fatter, and why not? Although it would do the job and is way more versatile the the El Dic, I would go for a Shogun or even the Czar, if you want to stick to Salomon. Shogun is probably your best bet. IMO it is the most versatile ski they make.

Awesome ski

Salomon Sentinel Ski

Rating for this product: 5 September 4, 2010

Tested this ski mid-day in chopped pow, soft bumps and on groomers. Absolutely killed it. This ski really rails hard on the groomers...super fun, but is still super maneuverable on soft bumps, and floats/feels surprisingly well in the soft stuff. A do everything ski, definitely a daily driver, east or west. If I had to pick a directional ski that was under 100mm, this would be it, no doubt, and I usually don't like Salomon's skis. I just wish it was twin tip!

Buckle lies

Tecnica Agent 110 Ski Boot - Men's

Tecnica Agent 110 Ski Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 February 24, 2010

Love these boots, fit me and my fat foot very well and perform very well but my buckle just broke. These Carbon Steel buckles are suppose to be the strongest in the industry, but my boots, which have about 60 days on them just gave way. I do crank my boots pretty tight, but i expected more from these buckles... so be wary of there super strong carbon steel buckles they aren't quite as super as they say they are. (its only $20 bucks to get in replaced though, so no biggie, just wanted to throw it out there)

Tecnica Agent 110 Ski Boot - Men's

The major, important difference is the flex and the toe box. Agent 130 has a 130 flex, where as this boot has a 110 flex. The toe box in this boot is 100mm whereas the Agent 130 has a 98mm box (correct me if im wrong). These are your two major differences.

good fit, looks cool, but not high performance

The North Face Freedom Pant - Men's

The North Face Freedom Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 February 7, 2010

These pants fit me great and look great as well but its price reflects its quality.

The rip-stop fabric on the bottom is poorly sewn on to the the pants. my brake ripped right into them about 2 weeks into the season. The fabric patch tore at the stitching almost all the way around. Poor job. I also have a buddy, same story, same rip.

These pants also have poor waterproofing technology. If you ski powder, wet snow, or sit on wet chairlifts, these pants will allow moisture to protrude the fabric. These pants have Hyvent tech which is TNF's waterproof/breathable technology, but doesn't seem to work that well.

Bottom line, if you want a product that you can rip groomers in, will fit and look sick than this is the right pant for you. but if you ski powder, tomahawk in powder, jump into powder, sit on chairlifts with snow on it, this pant doesn't quite hold up.

Depends on what length you get, and how much you ski switch. I would say if you get 179s and don't ski switch don't go farther than +3. Even +2 gives you a short tip, Id go +1. yeah there is slight rocker but if your an aggressive skier the tips will be too short if you go over +2. If you get 189s and dont really ski switch mounting +3 would be fine as you would still have plenty of tip cause the skis are longer. If you ski switch a lot +3 is good, but +4,+5 would be money, core center if you really ski an stop switch.

Just a stoke report. Just bought these for the upcoming season. Personally for me (6' 175, waist 34) TNF ski pants always fit me perfect. Not too tight, not too lose, and are cut well in all areas. These do just that. They are the perfect fit, look and feel. Havn't gotten them dirty yet, but soon will. If you are looking for a cheap pant, that looks cool, and have a very well rounded look, feel, these are them. Will report back after I find out if they are functional.

Not Yet, interlock is no good

Smith Interlock Prophet Sunglasses - Polarized

Smith Interlock Prophet Sunglasses - Polarized

Rating for this product: 2 October 18, 2009

I was excited about these before they came, though Smith had perfected the lens change. They look pretty cool and having a few different lenses is nice. However after using them for a few months I have to say the design just doesn't cut it. Too easily do the frames pop open. The way to exchange lens imho is awkward and not effective.I am very disappointed with them, despite the face I love smith products. I am huge fan of the methods...if your looking for shades get the methods, or super methods. But as for the interlock system, I am not a fan. Maybe if you are super careful, and your head never gets jostled they will work, but too many times have the frames twisted open during activity.

Cool pant, but awkward fit.

Cloudveil Zero-G Pant - Men's

Cloudveil Zero-G Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 December 15, 2008

Cool pants, with good features and nice materials, but the fit is a little funny. A little too long, and the gaiters are real stiff and also tight around the boot, which makes the pants bunch at the knees. So from the knee down they dont fit very comfortable. I feel the real problem is the gaiters. Other than that they are sweet, real warm, waist is comfy and super adjustable, good stretch and vents are pretty sweet. If it wasnt for the awkward fit from the knees down I would love them!

The suspenders are removable, and the pants have belt loops. They also have a cool pant cinch, that allows you too tighten and loosen the pants waist.Check it out the video icon,http://www.cloudveil.com/sport/ski-snowboard/mens/pants/zero-g+pant--CV05605/

Good warm jacket

Patagonia Rubicon Rider Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 9, 2008

Bought this jacket to be a versitle jacket to wear when it was cold and skiing. Its been just that. Its great to wear around town because it is very warm and looks good. As for skiing it is good for those cold days, and even good on warmer days, just dont layer up. all around a great jacket, my friends love it too, good buy for a versitle, warm puff.
