They are actually super comfortable. I know they look like hard plastic on the picture but they are actually silicon and super soft and squishy. They adjust like most headphones, pull the speaker away from the band and it will extend.

So my question is... can someone that has owned these for over atleast 3 months comment on them and give a little light to the people actually looking for quality headphones that don't blowout or break after 3 months of actually not 30 min a day but 3 or more hours a day of listening?
Or am i seriously the only person ever to have a crappy experience with EVERY Skullcandy headphones i have own? and trust me i have owned all of skull candy product but the agents and double agents

dont get either man skullcandy is overated. Seriously... people like them cause they think they are underground which they arent anymore btw. and they buy them cause they look cool. QUALITY OVER STYLE PEOPLE... Suffering for fashion is one thing i agree with but not when it comes to headphones. I HIGHLY suggest checking out the Aerial7 tank headphones. Same price with a 57 mm driver for even more bass than these... 40 mm standard "going to blow out after 3 months of use" headphones. And i personally think the aerial7s look steezy as hell.

From a person who has used both products i highly suggest the WeSC Bongos. They last way longer, easier to ride with, way more durible, and the sound quality is fairly great for the price. The only thing that skullcandy has going for them at all is their return policy. They have a life time warrenty and are free to replace (besides postage stamp) if it is a techniqual issue. 50% off it you broke them. That really beats anything for me because i listen to music for a least 5 hrs a day through headphones and i blow out speakers everyother day it feels like. BUT unless you really want your warrent, like calling them up and giving them detailed instructions (cause they don't respond to emails anymore unless its your first time using the warrenty) then the warrenty isn't worth it. To much time and effort for me (I have better things to do then listen to skullcandy over the phone instead listening to their headphones)
MY point is, Bongos out of the two unless dealing with warrenty people isnt an issue for you.

What doesn't look good on a girl? =)
From a guys perspective... I go by the vibe things give off and to me, These would give off the vibe that your pretty good, can hang out in the park without any problems though your still learning to do some more advance stuff, and that you also hit groomers and powder from time to time. They don't give off the vibe of Hot, Cute, or Snowbunny. There to flashy to be cute, Beanie + Goggle combo really gives off "Ive got skill" Vibe and there is no way this a snowbunny goggle. Im not sure how to girls look HOT in snowboarding gear though... Maybe riding in a bikini?
Any way that is my opinion.
Not sure what your go for vibe wise with your goggles but good luck finding the ones that fit your personality =)

I havent use these personally but i have used the skullcrushers and hated them. They are nice for the first week or two but they are very easily brake able and that is no bueno. Plus i personally am not into that much base, i don't need my head vibrating all the time. BUT these don't have the skullcandy warrenty and if the DF.com rep is tellin the truth (which im not sure why he would lie), these have the same problem with a side going out (it is usually left with all head phones, im not sure y but it has been true with all my headphones).
SO in the end, IF you want ALOT of base and free headphones for life (except postage), go with the skullcandy skullcrushers
IF you want a clearer sounding headphone (Personal opinion from what i have heard from WeSC other products), but risk of having no warrenty for life, Go with these.

they are just two different years, 2009-2010 aand 2008-2009. There may be a few difference but probably not enough to spend the extra money.

I am sorry but it really is one or the other =). I ride with dragons dx goggles ionized and they arent as mirrored as i hoped. If your standing around in the park or taking a run no one will know they arent fully mirrored but if your standing in the lift line and someone wants to check themselves out in your goggles they will be able to see themselves but they will also be able to your eyes if they look for them.
And no they arent good for night riding unless you are getting the powder/pink ionized ones.

personally i think Erik Wilson is a rare case. (Sorry) I also recommened staying away from Skullcandy if you want a pair of headphones that will last. I own skullcandys for the sole fact of the lifetime warrenty. If they didn't have that I would have switched brands ages ago. I replace my skullcandies about once every 2-3 months for free and have never had a problem getting a hold of the warrenty people. But if you are looking for sometihng that lasts, go with a more mainstream brand like Sony (never ever phillips! they suck). They may not be as stylish but they are much better

I have only heard good thing from both bindings. I personally Own union forces and love them! I have never actually owned Cartels but i have owned the triads which are pretty simliar. I hated them. The toe strap keeping unscrewing, the adjuster for the high back ripped through the plastic and is unusable anymore and the strap would some times get stuck in the clicker. I don't know if its the same for the cartels but if it is go with the forces.
I havent had any problems with the forces yet. They feel super light and have loved them for the little riding i have done so far.
let see....I would get a large in the cartels if you have a wide board or a medium if you just have a regular freestyle board.
A L/XL for the unions bindings

They only have one size =(. What BristolMTBoarder said is completly right but you may want to find another website or a local snowboard shop that still maybe carring these in the back (if you are super lucky)So unless your daughter is a US 6-9, your out of luck on this website.
Hope you do find a pair of amazing bindings

not compared to other cyndrical goggles, but compared to Sphyrical lenses, yes it will

"A MODERN STYLED CYLINDRICAL GOGGLE THAT FITS MOST FACES." SPYOPTIC.com
That means that the peripheral on these is average with other goggles because cylindrical is kind of the industry standard for all goggles (least in the past).
If your looking for more peripheral, like you can't even see the goggles you are wearing, I would suggest looking for Spherical Lenses, ELECTRIC EG1s or EG2, and from spy APOLLO, SOLDIER, BIAS. I acctually haven't riden with Spy's since I was a little grom, SO hopefully i gearhead will stop by here and give you more help.
Till then, Hope this helps.
Kyle

I am not completly certain but i have bought the eg1 and eg1s and the both came with a standard brown lense as the bonus lense (non-Chrome). So that would be my guess as to what they will give you

These will definitly fit a big head (I should know, I have a giant head).
And it should fit over (if you in fact do ride with) your helmet, unless it is so big it doubles your head, in that case i suggest buying a new helmet.
But YES, these will fit a bigger head
PS, these have the elastic plastic (i dunno what it is called)on the strap which makes it a great for keep them in place once you get them on your head but a GIANT PAIN to adjust the size on the go. So make sure you adjust it inside when you have time, cause it is a pain when your hands are freezing outside and your trying to adjust it from beanie size to helmet size but you just can't seem to do it CAUSE ITS JUST SO DAMN COLD.

I dont work for DF, but they used to have them in stock (and on this page) and sense they arent there anymore, they are sold out for the moment. I am sure when a gearhead comes by this question and answers it, they will give a day that they are restocking it.

Another way you can check on your own is if you click "Add to cart" and the size and color you want, then in the cart it will say how much quantity they have left in stock.
(And it is 2=) but why would a DF dude lie?)

Notta one. Sorry amigo. These don't even come close to fire lenses. As sick as electric is, I would suggest a different brand if your are looking for goggles with replacment lenses that come in fire. Oakley obviously, but VZ does a good job too. If you are looking for that mirror effect, none of these do that either. BUT if you have to get one that looks like it, Yello/silver chrome, imho, is the the closest in a race it doesn't even qualify for. Seriously

This goggle was made for you! I have a giant head/face and know for a fact... these don't fit me ='( Why do all the cool frames have to be for smaller faces? I suggest these for smaller faces and for looking steeze on the mountain. If you are looking for a frame with more prefireal (cant spell sorry) But will have a bigger frame, anything with a "s" at the end of it means its spherical.
In the end those these are great for you! Hope you rock them well!
(As always recommended though, goggles are expensive, important, equipment. I would go check out a local snowboard shop and try on different type and different brands to make sure you absolutly love what you are buying. "If you buy gear that gets you stoked, you'll be stoked to ride')

Bronze chrome or just bronze?
Either way those would be perfect for midday riding. Bronze lenses do suck around closing time cause the flight light is pretty bad (just a heads up) BUT What is one hour of discomfort compared to all day of looking good?
Bronze will let in more light then Bronze chrome but wont be reflective.
(I am sorry if i didnt make it clear. You can also go to (I couldnt find it on the Spyoptical.com site) )http://www.electricvisual.com/goggle-technical-information/
That is a great place to show what lense colors go great with what type of situation
It tells you about VLT (Visual Light transmittance) And gives all the right information about picking out the lense color your looking for
Hope that helps
Kyle

yes it will. welll... Maybe it wont for you since there will be some bunching at the top. Im Not sure how big this beanie is on a small head, i personally have a gigantic head and it fit under my gigantic helmet... but since my head is so big, the beanie doesnt bunch at the top much, for a smaller head... I would try it (you can always return it if u buy it off dogfunk) But my gues.. Yes but it will either have bunching of the at the top between the helmet and the beanie, or the beanie will almost be pulled down over your eyes

I would personally look for a smaller beanie.

My friend rides these and tells me that you can email ride and they'll send you some new ones with proof of purchase. (least thats what he says)
But i am sure that your local snowboard shop carries extras and we'll replace them for free if they do. (The BC surf and sport, The Click, and Satallite havee alldone that for bindings for me that i didnt even buy there) the snowboard community is awesome when it comes to helping out.

Nope. These bindings are stiffer and ment for all mountain casual riding. You want a binding with a softer flex that will help you get all buttery smooth to impress the strangers and snow bunnies that you will probably never see again =). (plus they are heavier which is no bueno in the parko)
Trying checking out the Flux Titan RK for a binding in the same price range.

Im not COMPLETLY sure BUT, i have never seen a 686 beanie with a fleece lining in all my years of buying beanies. (that and it doesnt have Fleece written in the materials). I am 98% confident with that.
May I suggest looking at Dakine beanies for fleece lining (In those pictures you can see the fleece and it says it under materials)

Nope. They are Fire and are not good for night vision at all.
If you want more information about lenses for different situations, any major goggle seller will have their lense colors and what they are recommended for somewhere pretty easy to find on there website.

Everyones eyes are unique and different colors work better for different people.
But! in general (and my opinion) Yellow first, Amber 2nd, Clear 3rd, and grey 4th (i have never riden with grey, have no idea bout that one)

That would look sick for sure!
And yes bindings are super important! crappy bindings make for a crappy day. If you are riding 40 or less days though these would be perfect for you in my opinion. But if you ride hard and often, it is worth the extra bucks to upgrade and get a binding that will last and take the punishment you dish out. I own burton triads and even though they are more expensive, they sucked.. tow strap fell off, screws (including base plates) came loose all the time and the metal that kept my binding at a lean tore through the plastic and is no permentally set on the no lean.
My point is that bindings are important and expensive isnt always better either.
In the end, If you are more of a casual rider these would be perfect for you. If you are a park junky, upgrade
(Read the other comment too. It is spot on)

They're pretty light and compete with the ride bindings forsure. (this is for all mountain riding of coarse, these bindings are a little stiffer) I would go with these over ride bindings any day but i do have some bias in this... i own unions and have only riden my friends Ride bindings before... never owned a pair personally.

I have no idea if your asking for dudes or dudettes but... i am a dude i wear a size 12 and have the L/XL size and that is perfect for me. If your a dude i would go with the L/XL n o question. If your a girl I would try the M/L first cause you can costumize it like all bindings to have the toe strap longer. (But obviously i recommend going to your local snowboard shop first (bring a boot and ask for a M/L and a L/XL in the color you want and see which fits better)
This bindings has been doing well for the few days i have riden on it and strongly recommend it too.
Hope that helps

I personally measured mine (crapply) to be about 34 inches from the bottom of the hoodie to the seem of the hood
(Im 6'4 and it falls right under my ass... so ya its long)
Hope that helps some...

What you want to look for is sizes like XLT or LT (Extra large Tall) (Large Tall) They are longer with out the add middle for bigger stomachs. Makes them just like tall tees

Awesome! thanks for the help! Looks like I found my goggles for the next few years =)
Thanks again,
Kyle

Oh, and I know I am not supposed to care about what other people think about me (least when your not trying to get a job)and I should just tell me friends to get over it... But honestly, who doesn't like being complimented on how good they look? "When you look good, you ride good." love that sayin.. and its tru, better you look, better self esteem, better confidence, better riding.
