The North Face Verdi II Down Jacket - Men's

February 11, 2009

Great coat. Super light weight/mover friendly. It does get very warm, so even on the coldest days I only wear a t-shirt under it. Still, on any sidestep or bootpacks you heat up pretty quick even with the pitzips open.

Marker Duke Ski Binding

February 6, 2012

I had the Super S7's with the 110 brakes, and while bending the brakes made it doable, I would have opted for the 130mm brakes if they weren't so expensive (or I wasn't so cheap).

Fun ski all over the mountain. The only reason I knocked off 2 stars were (and I know they aren't intended for this) is their performance on the groomer. They have a funky catch point at the rocker of the shovel that the standard S7 doesn't have. But, it is a charging ski in the pow where it belongs.

They are comfortable AT boots, but they were way too soft and unresponsive when skiing aggressively.

Rating for this product: 5 February 23, 2011

Amazing coat. Has amazing warmth. Even on the coldest days, I just wear a t-shirt underneath, and use the pitzips to control my temp. Great fabric strength, as some tree limbs have tried to tackle me and rip the coat with no avail.

Rossignol SYSTEM S7 Pro Mancini Ski

October 21, 2009

I'm 6'4 and 165 pounds. I ski the Ravens in the backcountry and I felt quite a bit that I was gonna go over the handlebars. I wanted to get the S7 for the versitility, butI hear that the 188's ski pretty short, and I'm concerned that they might even be too short. Please let me know what you think about the length.

I would say the medium. I'm 6'4" and I wear the medium, but I'm not going for the super baggy look. The arm length is great for me, as well as the waist length, but I guess it depends on your fit preference i.e. baggy v. more baggy

All around sickness

Rossignol Ravyn Telemark Ski

Rossignol Ravyn Telemark Ski

Rating for this product: 5 November 17, 2008

While the graphic is aestetically pleasing this ski isn't just all good looks. With killer dimensions, this is an all-mountain. all terrain, all condition fat ski. I mounted the Marker Duke on these bad boys and I have never had a better all around setup. They turn super quick on groomer days (which were few and far between last season), handled the trips to Sunset Peak with ease, rocked the skin up East Castle, killed the lap down, and holds its own when hucking your meat. I love the ski. The only thing I would have done is mounted the binding at -1 or -2 since I'm 6'4".
