Contour ContourHD 1080p Wearable Camcorder

October 19, 2011

This version does not have a live preview option. This means you need to make sure you not only have the angle set right, but the brightness and contrast settings correct as well. I have several videos that were washed out and useless since it was supposed to be cloudy (and I set the settings for cloudy) then the sun came out. The preview is not necessary, but very nice to have. If you are wanting a POV for a good price, its hard to beat the HD though.

There is a new version of the Contour that can be used underwater. This version you have to buy a housing for, however.

You can't go wrong with Smartwool, especially not their PhD socks. A few years back I could not have imagined paying $20 for a pair of socks, now I can't imagine not wearing smartwool for hiking, biking, snowboarding, etc. Wick great, prevent blisters, and breathe great.

Great boot. Wore them about a week before a backpacking trip and they broke in very quickly. Hiked 5+ miles each way with 3500+ vert with no blisters at all. My feet were super comfy and dry, even after 6 creek crossings.

Contour ContourHD 1080p Wearable Camcorder

Rating for this product: 5 April 5, 2011

This camera is awesome. HD shots from this tiny package. The image is good, provided you have the settings set correctly. You can only set the settings from a computer, so if you have the brightness set for a cloudy day, and it becomes sunny, you may have a washed out image. It does adapt to changing conditions well though, so its not a huge deal. The mounts are awesome, it can be controlled with gloves or mittens on, has good battery life, and the best customer support I have ever dealt with.

I bought one of the first versions, and they had a few issues with lenses distorting or blurring the image. I emailed customer support at 8pm on a SUNDAY and received a reply within an hour. Within another 30 min, they had evaluated my image and sent me a new camera. I was leaving on a snowboard trip that week, so they even sent me the replacement camera before I sent in my old camera to make sure I received the fixed camera before my trip.

Awesome Board

Venture Snowboards Storm-R Snowboard - Wide

Venture Snowboards Storm-R Snowboard - Wide

Rating for this product: 5 April 5, 2011

What a board. It feels like you have a jet powered surfboard strapped to your feet! It rides a little different than boards I am used to, but once you get a feel for it, riding it is a blast! Handles deep pow days with no problems while everyone else is struggleing to stay afloat, yet nimble enough to ride the tight steep trees. Plus, its all 100% American, handcrafted in heaven (Silverton) by a bunch of really cool people. Not to mention Venture picked up Johan, so they have even more awesomeness to share. Only downside is that it is so well made with sturdy construction, it is a little heavier. Well worth it though, since the base, topsheet and edges are bomb-proof.

You can't go wrong with this board.

Burton Wheelie Gig Bag

Burton Wheelie Gig Bag

Rating for this product: 4 April 5, 2011

Can hold ALOT of stuff. I have fit in 3 or 4 boards, two sets of bindings, helmet, gloves, jacket and a bunch of other stuff. The only downside is that it is not super padded, so try to put anything along the edges of your board to protect it if flying. United somehow smashed the edge of my board in about 1/8" last year flying from JH to denver. Looks like the smacked the edge on a rail or something.

However, I have flown on 4 trips with this bag, and it is still holding up well.

Mine lost the waterproofing pretty quickly, and tore very easily. Not a bad pair of pants for one season though. You get what you pay for.

Good, but with some shortcomings

Spyder Davos Pant - Men's

Spyder Davos Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 April 5, 2011

These are good pants, but there were a few things that I didn't like, especially for the price.
1. The leg vents are on the outside of the leg, not the inside, where I need the ventilation. Who gets sweaty on the outside of their legs?
2. There is no back pocket, just the front two. Not a big deal.
3. The boot cuffs were too loose to grip my boots (I snowboard). So, several times while hiking through pow, I got snow inside my boots, making my socks wet.

If none of these issues bother you, they are a great pair of pants. They are super water replellent and fit nicely.

The roof rack on my wife's Rogue does not have any Yakima specific mounts, so we ordered these. They do work, but as someone else already stated, they do not lock, so someone could remove the rack with whatever gear is attached.

The inner mitten liners wad up very easily, and it is very difficult to get my hand back in the glove. I end up wearing the glove and glove liners, and leaving the mitten liners at home.
