Perfect for skiing

Patagonia Active Sport Brief - Men's

Patagonia Active Sport Brief - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 20, 2012

These fit great, and I really like the lack of fly and waistband when I'm wearing baselayer and ski pants. Others have noted that they didn't like that feature, or that it takes some getting used to, but I like it.
I'll get more when my size is on sale again.

I have the same problem. I gave them to my wife, who skis a lot slower. She loves them.

Too much ventilation

Smith I/OS Interchangeable Optic Goggle

Rating for this product: 2 January 29, 2011

I'll agree with another reviewer; if you're skiing fast, the ventilation lets enough cold air in that my eyes tear up badly. I like the interchangeable feature, but can't use them, unfortunately.

Room for a vest beneath

The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Men's

The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 5, 2009

This is a great windproof jacket, and as others have noted, it runs a tad large, but that's okay if you want to add a layer beneath. Wearing it in 15 mph winds and 40 degrees F, I added a vest underneath it and worked all day without feeling constricted. I have a medium, and my stats are 5'8", 145 lbs, 39" chest, 32/33 arms, 15-1/2 neck. The arms are long enough so that they don't pull back onto my forearms when I reach overhead, so they do hang down onto my hand a bit. Hope this helps.

Great binding. Might need adaptor/riser

Garmont 7tm Power Releasable Telemark Binding

Rating for this product: 5 April 24, 2009

As others have either speculated or noted, if you're mounting these to K2 skis, you WILL need the adapter (riser) plate. Great binding, though. I haven't had much time on them yet - next year!

Garmont 7tm Power Releasable Telemark Binding

I'll second Bud's comment. I thought I'd be okay with this binding mounting directly to the K2 World Piste, and they do not fit without an adapter plate (or riser plate). I wish I had ordered the plate - I'd be skiing on them tomorrow.

Great vest. Fits like Patagonia

Mountain Hardwear WindStopper Tech Vest - Men's

Mountain Hardwear WindStopper Tech Vest - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 19, 2009

Since others have commented on sizing, I thought I'd throw my thoughts into the mix. I ordered a small, and returned it for a medium. I'm 5'8", 145 lbs, with a 38-39 inch chest. Trying on other vests in a store, I determined that I was a Patagonia medium, and a The North Face small. The MH vest fits like the Patagonia - I needed the medium.
Having said that, it's a very well made vest. I used it as a layer under a softshell for the morning spring skiing when the temps are still in the 30's and it's perfect. I used it once as an outer layer around town, but it wasn't much of a test.
Hope this helps someone. It's a wonderful vest.

Does this unit include or require a chest strap, or is it the type that measures your pulse from the fingertips?
