Great quality product. Not rubbing or chaffing issues, you get the benefits you get out of any merino product but usually at a great sale price or a lower price compared to similar products. Not a cheap item at all for the lower price, top of the line quality and materials.

They do the job that needs done. Moisture wicking and keeps the stink out which you will get out of any merino sock. Great fit, but not a whole lot of stretch so check out the size chart and stick to it. Good cushion on the bottom but still light on top so you won't overheat. After I would say a "normal" amount of abuse they don't seem to have any quality issues with the build.

Nice thick material used, but I got an xl as I usually do in most shirts and it was pretty tight in the chest. If you're a skinny guy (or girl) who usually goes with a large I would think about sizing up. Sizing up will give you a bit extra length but about a size up seems to be the way to go on this one. Great buy otherwise, great durably materials but I wouldn't count on it if you are looking for a light shirt that will be good in heat, pretty thick.

I actually grabbed a couple pairs of these since they fit so well. They are a bit on the longer side, but overall fit was great. They'll do the job every time.

Not sure if it was just me, I do have some killer skier thighs, but they fit a bit tighter than a "straight fit" jean should in my opinion. The waist sizing was dead on, the leg was a big on the tight side, but a good stretch to the material if that's the style your into.

Great lightweight hoodie. Super versatile, uses a great soft material that keeps you cool and dry. Wicks moisture really well. Perfect use for a summer night where you want to stay warmer while riding your bike around to look for the next place to go, and won't let you overheat once you get there. Also has some sort of stank reducing technology so that if you need something to grab off the hanger this will be the perfect go to even if you forgot to wash it.

Great material, soft, light, and won't let you overheat too bad. The only downside, or could be upside is that it fits a bit slim in the body, but great length. An inch or so longer than most of the shirts I have. Wouldn't really call it tall but will cover your sag so that nobody has to look at your underwears.

Great fit, dead on the size guide and great quality. Light breathable material that seems like it will hold up for a while. Only had it for a few days so I'll have to wait on the durability to say for sure, but so far I'm impressed as far as a fairly basic tee goes.

As far as jeans go they are pretty standard. Where I was impressed was in the fit. Straight leg, not too slim, not baggy. Good amount of stretch for a little extra freedom and light enough for a 90 degree summer day if you don't want to grab some shorts. Solid pick.

Had this for a few weeks and it is just as advertised. Great windproofing, really lightweight, and great comfort with the mapped microfleece on the inside. Been pretty warm out lately during the day, but riding on a motorcycle around at night this thing kept me protected from the wind and relative cold summer nights of salt lake city plus I really didn't notice I was wearing a jacket because it was so light. Good addition for layering, simple and classic design, really like it.

Nice fit to them, they don't sit too low to make you look like your sagging, but also not a slim fit, very relaxed. The insulation was a bit much and they seem a bit puffy, but it also makes them nice and warm. The HiPe membrane keeps them nice and dry without being too stiff. Other than maybe some wetness on the bottom cuff from walking through melted snow in the parking lot they will stay nice and dry. Great pant for the price, and excellent for the sale price!

Good fitting pant and also a looker. They do run a bit longer than most. The 10k waterproofing that Orage uses on a lot of their products is really great. Other than maybe a little moisture at the bottom cuff on a warm spring day they will keep you dry where it counts. The only snag I found was that the insulation was a little too thick. Great for warmth, but looked a little bulky for my taste. Go with black and it won't be too noticeable, and will keep you nice and warm.

Pretty straight forward, red base prep to get your bases ready for mid range temps, yellow for warmer, and purple for colder temps throughout the year, then just add some LF or HF on top on the days you need it. Good hard wax to make sure anything you lay over it will penetrate the base well and last you more than just a few runs.

Got this for a recent ski trip I just got back from and it worked beautifully. Specs say it can only hold a pair of skis up to 191, but I threw in my Moment Belafonte's that I have in a 192 and they worked just fine. With two pairs of skis, a tuning bench and equipment, and a weeks worth of clothes it was a bit heavier than the airlines would have liked (80 pounds) but the cost of an overweight bag ended up being cheaper than paying for an extra bag so it all worked out. With thick comfortable handles and high quality wheels to drag it through airports and busy euro streets that extra weight was no problem for me but I have to say I do feel a little sorry for the loaders at the airport that had to deal with it.

I was sort of forced to get these after my Rossi phantom rc112 came apart on me, and at first I have to say I wasn't happy about it. I was told at the time that these would be an adequate replacement because they are much stiffer than the S7, and would be more similar to my past skis. These are stiffer than the S7, but not close to the stiffness of the Phantom RC112 (Rossi: please bring those back to us). With the titanium sheet they put in the middle of this, it makes the ski stiffer in the middle between the early rise in the tip and tail, but the Fiberglass in the tip and tail doesn't keep them stiff enough to help with the tip flopping around at higher speeds reducing the edge contact you have with the snow when the tip bounces around. This is only a problem on firm snow or groomers, not a problem for fresh or slightly tracked powder. Those are the conditions this was built for. The fat tip with the slightly narrower tail gives you a nice tip floaty feeling. Tip stays up, so even at slower speeds in deep snow you feel in control and know that your tip isn't going to take a dive. I wouldn't recommend them if you are looking for a one quiver, but a fun powder ski that has a user friendly shape like the S7, but stiffened up making it more versatile for a more advanced skier. There are many specialized weapons out there designed specifically to be playful, or slay high speed chutes, or drop 100ft off a rock. I would say these skis are not the best choice for any of one of those, but a great choice for a bit of all of them. The jack of all trades that you can take on a heli trip, flip around in the trees, general tom foolery on the mountain putting a smile on your face.

Anyone looking for binding advice I have run them with jesters for about a year and would recommend that if you got them and are looking for a binding. I have used them with the FKS and didn't like it quite as much. The jester has a wider stance which feels a lot better and more controlled for a wider ski, plus it looks better than the FKS once mounted, so extra style points there.

On sizing I am 6' 200lbs and went with the 188. Great size for anyone even slightly close to that. They come up pretty good in the tip and tail so they ski shorter, but a nice playful size in softer snow. I would recommend anyone around my size go with the 195 though. You have much more ski to work with, and it won't feel as long as you expect it to. The 188 is great for more of a playful ski that I can throw around when I know I'm going to get in some tighter spots in the trees which is what I got them specifically for. For a more big mountain bomber, or open bowl cruiser go with the 195.

Greatest pant ever. Get out of bed and can't decide whether to wear pajamas or jeans. Why not both. good loose fit without being baggy, and warm enough to roll out of bed and go to the corner sev in the middle of a blizzard. Button fly is the only thing I would change, tech specs are lying to you.

There is no getting around it, a scrapper is something that you need in your tool bag. This is one that I have had for years without having to replace. Lasts a long time and is well machined. The edge is sharp and with the use of a scrapper sharpener it will stay sharp and last a long time.

Makes tuning from home easy. There is no bigger pet peeve I have than using a dull scraper. Not only does it make life harder on everyone involved, it also doesn't get all of the excess wax off your base which is counter productive to waxing in the first place. Sharpen your scraper to avoid that from happening, and if you want to ensure that it is squared up, get this.

Throw in anything you need into it and start getting shit done! Works with any size, any brand, I for example us a Toko world cup file that I have in moth 200mm, and a more travel friendly 80mm. Pop that one out and throw in a diamond stone (swix 70mm) and get all the burrs out. Really easy to swap files out. When mine came it was a little different than in the picture. The hold on the top is the entire length of the guide, seems to be better and makes it hold much more secure, so it is different than depicted in a better way.

Great addition to any tuning kit. Works just as advertised, I got the universal grit file to knock of the burrs after taking a file to my edges and it made them smoother than silk, sharper than hell, and allowed me to go faster than anyone should ever want to go with no fear of not being to hold an edge.

Great goggle. I haven't had the privilege of of using a better fitting goggle for the widest variety of face sizes. The same can be said with helmet compatibility. Clearly they are designed to fit well with smith helmets, but they work well with the widest range of helmets and helmet brands that I have ever seen in a goggle. Higher price, but well worth it.

Great after a long day of skiing. My feet get pretty smelly after a long day on the hill, and in the past I've always had to worry about stinking up a pair of shoes on my drive back home. No worries with these. They keep my feet warm so I don't really need to let my car warm up if I'm in a hurry, and if I don't have time to make it home before going out they work well in the real world without looking like you just rolled out of bed and are still wearing slippers.

Good quality sock, and great materials used. I did have a problem with fit on them though. The top of the sock is small (I'm assuming to help it stay up) but that wasn't really a good thing for me or most skiers like me I'm guessing as well. I've gotten pretty thick calves from years of skiing and that made these fit a little tight in that area. Cut of my circulation a little which I didn't like, but also a pretty easy problem to solve. I just cut that top tight part off. They do slip down now when I'm not skiing, but with a ski boot on that's not a problem cuz the boot keeps them up. All around though a good warm sock, and well made.

When it comes to a high quality, good fitting goggle, most people will start to look at something that is $150 and over. No real need though, these are a good fit and equally as good of quality without dropping unnecessary funds. If you have a bigger face you may need something a little wider as these are sized for a medium face. Pictured would be my sister Whitney with the red iris bug and the POC Frontal Jon Olsen helmet.

Great feeling helmet. GS legal for use in USSA and FIS races with the soft ear feel you get from a more comfortable park helmet. The outer shell dents pretty easily on impact when you clip a GS gate, but even so a good looking and comfortable race legal helmet is pretty hard to find. Not really an issue if your just using it as a freeski helmet. Job well done POC, now if the shell could be a little more resistant to denting it would be perfect. Pictured is my sister Whitney sporting the POC Frontal on the podium at the at copper mountain Skier Cross FIS noram (with the always fashionable goat sticker). She took a good spill in that race going through a couple sets of safety netting, but the Frontal did its job and did it well keeping her skull safe and secure.

These things are awesome. I have always gotten long underwear and pulled them up so that they didn’t make any strange spots inside my boots. I never liked having my pants on the inside of my boot, but other people that doesn’t bother. On some of my long underwear, I would pull them up to my calf, and they would be a little tight and restricting. I always thought that was just what had to be done if I didn’t want to cut them. I found these and thought “finally someone knows what I need to just ski”. Not only are they the right size and fit that I want so they come in above my boot, but they are merino as well. Soft and won’t smell if I decide to ski for a week straight and only wanted to get one pair. I decided to get more than that by the way, so no, I don’t walk around in dirty undies all the time. Get a pair, they’re pretty awesome.

This is a great wide fitting goggle that doesn’t look like bug eyes. I wanted something with a wide field of view that didn’t look ridiculous, and this is what I ended up with. I really debated between this and the EG1 because those were the goggles I lost (which is why I needed new ones in the first place), but I’m glad I switched it up. These were a much better fit to my wider face than the EG1. Now that I’ve seen them, I wouldn’t mind the Smith I/O either. The frameless look has grown on me a little more, but if you still aren’t feeling the frameless look and want something that will have a similar fit, go with this guy right here.

After more than four years of searching I finally found my one quiver. I honestly thought I had tried everything possible, the Rossi Phantom RC112, Dynastar Legend Pro, I have even been giving the Super S7 a chance, but couldn’t find something that would both hold up for me, and ski the way that I wanted it to. I gave this ski a look and almost dismissed it because of the sizing. I usually like to go with a 188, but the 192 in this Bellefonte seemed like it would be a bit big (especially with the burly poplar/ash core). I got it anyway and could not be happier with my decision. The early rise in the tip makes it ski a little shorter than what you would think, but the rise is so slight you barely notice it unless you are cutting through choppy messes on the hill. I really can’t say enough good things about this ski. I just hope the word can spread about how great of a ski this is so that maybe I could see a little diversity in the Snowbird tram line and big mountain lines everywhere.
