Lib Technologies 10K Re-Cycler Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 December 28, 2010

Me- 5'9", 165lbs, 32in waist. The medium fits me well enough, but they are very long. I am forced to wear these much higher than I normally wear pants (even snowpants) to prevent them from getting stuck in/on my bindings . The Quincy Quigg print is sweet. It's got monkeys, fish, and dinosaurs. It is a liitle more grayish-purple than it looks in the product pics. The material is very thin, but it has held up fine after a few uses. The pockets are great. 2 normal from pockets and a cargo pocket on the left side, all securely zippered. The cargo pocket is also covered by snaps. The elastic on the cuffs is tighter than most pants, and fits very securely over my ski boots. It has Lib's snap-to-pant system for powderskirts: there are 4 snaps hidden under a flap just below the belt loops on the back. But unless you have a Lib jacket, this probably won't help you much. The inner leg vent is a single zipper as you can see in the pics, but it is smaller than I would like. Overall, I would recommend these pants. Beware- you may become known as "the guy in the monkey pants". But that's never bothered me ;-)

Awesome Shell

Stoic Bombshell Jacket - Men's

Stoic Bombshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 28, 2010

This jacket is awesome. The shell is a bit stretchy, which is nice. It is softer (more fabricy, less plasticy) than other shells, but it is plenty waterproof and durable. I got it in black with the red zippers, which looks awesome. However, a few more color options would have been nice, like yellow, orange, a brighter green, etc. The hood will fit over my Smith Variant Brim helmet on a powder day, or in the rain (yes, I ski in the rain). The hood tightens down well if you're not wearing a helmet too. The ninja grips on the sleeves are cool too because they're not bulky like some others, but you may want to ditch them when you put gloves on if you have big hands. They are good for when you're wearing the jacket off-hill though. In terms of warmth, I wore a thin polyester baselayer, a thin wool longsleeve shirt over that, and a t shirt under this shell and was warm and dry (conditions were 14F, night skiing with snowmaking underway). I'm 5'9" 165lbs 32in waist, and the medium size is great, just enough room for a fleece or down midlayer if needed. The sleeves are little long but its not a problem. The fit is very long and somewhat slim. The back goes an inch or two below my butt. The zips are watersealed. The pit vents are nice and big but are NOT mesh-backed, as stated in the product description. They are hard to open/close while wearing, but it can be done with practice. Just be careful not to drop your poles from the lift chair while trying ;-) The powder skirt is nice, has a sticky stretch band to keep it in place. Also has a snap system with two loops that go around loops on your pants (but most pants I've seen don't have the matching loops). To improve, It should have more colors, an internal mesh pocket, mesh backing on the pit vents, and a more generic pants attachment system (like TNFs where you snap the loops around your belt loops). But overall, this thing is great (for me at least): fit, waterproofing, breathability, durability, style, general functionality, and value are off the charts in a very good way.

Lib Technologies NAS Jib Recurve Ski

March 30, 2010

Ive used them in knee-deep pow in the Alps. I'd put them slightly below the k2 obsethed (105 underfoot and more rocker). In their category though (nearly-centered, on-piste park ski), they are probably the best for pow.

Marker Baron 12 Ski Binding

I'm getting some new skis (gotama). Thinking about getting into AT, so I might get these bindings. If I end up not getting into touring, will these still be OK or would I have to replace them with a regular binding, like a griffon?

Osprey Packs Switch 26 Pack - 1500-1700cu in

Rating for this product: 4 December 13, 2009

I will post again after more use, but it seems great. Size up if you cant decide. I am 5'9 155lbs and i needed a medium. if you can't find the pictured loop for diagonal carry, it is hidden in a sleeve on the bottom of the pack, and you also have to move the strap for the top of the skis. that took me a while to figure out. the hip pockets are sizable, bigger than my friends heli pro dlx. it seems like there is an excessive amount of loose straps hanging around once everythings tightened up, but it's not been a problem. also, the top pocket won't accommodate large helmets. main pocket has room for avy gear, snacks, and an extra layer, plus your hydration bladder, maybe a smidgen more if youre a good packer. overall I am very happy with it

December 13, 2009

Yeah its just what you like, but for the sake of argument i will weigh in for diagonal. I like it because, with a-frame, although maybe more balanced, the tails more easily hit your lower legs. plus, i like having the skis together, i just feel like it's more secure. just make sure you don't have to fit through a narrow pass

if you're not using the bottom A-frame ski loops, those would definitely be strong enough, especially if you put just one boot on each. Just carry the skis diagonally. I wouldn't try putting boots anywhere else though

Good park ski

K2 Disorderly Alpine Ski

K2 Disorderly Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 4 January 12, 2009

I rode this ski with griffon bindings. Its a pretty lightweight setup. spinning was easy. the flex is super soft. if you land backseat on the tails they kinda shove you back into position a little bit. the whole center mount thing takes a little getting used to, it is a little slower and slightly harder to turn. Not a great performer outside the park. Recommended for those doing 75%+in the park or if you have solid all mountain boards already. if your iffy about length go a little longer so you have some surface to land on, plus the center mount makes them feel shorter in the air. also, the mass of longer skis makes it easier to complete the last few degrees of bigger spins (540+). The only thing i would like better is if it had a little more pop, but you can't have that and a buttery flex.

These are the replacement for the public enemy, with a little more park focus. They softened up the tip and the tail for pop but left the middle stiff. The sidecut is a little less directional, and they reduced the chatter you would sometimes get with the PE.

Rating for this product: 4 December 29, 2008

i have last years model of these; they pretty much the same. They are very adjustable; if they're not comfy try adjusting the arch support or the canting; they are a huge step up from my old boots; you can also adjust the flex (80-110), forward lean, and the positioning of the midfoot cable. You can disassemble the whole thing to clean it and put it back easily. Lighter weight would have made it 5 stars

Marker Griffon Ski Binding

December 25, 2008

This is a new version of the Marker Jester ski binding which, last year, was the first ever truly park specific ski binding. While other companies would offer "jib" bindings, they were no different then other bindings except for maybe a rubber vibration absorption plate. The Griffon is different then the Jester in that it has a smaller spring to accommodate lighter skiers who require a smaller DIN. For park and freestyle riding the Griffon is flat (no incline ramp) so skiing backwards is more natural. It also has a wider platform for bigger skis and for smoother landings. It will definitely "hold up" in the park. **what about al the plastic content and breakage concerns above?

K2 Disorderly Alpine Ski

you can ski them all over the mountain but there a symetrical ski( u porbaly already no this) which means that all mountain performance would be slightly worse than a ski with more "normal" dimensions. it would also help if the skis were not center mounted. If you like k2 and want a good all mountain ski id go with the extremes there more geared twords all mountain. These skis also have a VERY soft flex; you can (using your poles for balance) easily stand on the tips or tails.

I dont know about the ski but I will recomend a binding I know more about Rossignol Dynastar and Armada. For bindings go with look px 14's or rossignol's 140 check those out or even look into the 150 or 200 binding. For look and dynastars 150 and 200 its Px 15 and Px 18. sorry that i dont know about this ski. peace.These skis are really nice; they're light and the unheard of edge hold is not a myth. On this model though, they have a low tip, which gives you more contact area and a lighter ski, but its easier to get buried in deep snow. For bindings, look/rossi/dynastar bindings are the same thing, so you would get whichever fits your din range and how much lift you want. I would also check out the marker series with the short toe piece (duke/griffon). Those bindings are way lighter and let the ski have a more natural flexps the pics for this ski are incorrect. the left ski is pictured here, the right one is not. look at libtechnas.com to see the correct graphic, which looks even cooler in person.

Low tips? I noticed the tips are very low when i saw a pair in person. Has anyone had experience with these in deep snow or chopping through crud? Also, does the re-curve version of this ski, or the pipe NAS, have any more height to the tips? I'm worried about soft snow days on groomers and crud.

Nice Fit

Red Mutiny Helmet

Red Mutiny Helmet

Rating for this product: 4 December 9, 2008

The brim on this helmet gives it a nice look. The brim looks nice over a pair of googles. The earpads are thicker than REDs i've had in the past. The airflow adjusters are right under the brim and give a good flow of air through the whole helmet. The chinstrap cover makes it pretty comfy. The goggle clip can be removed and flipped around to put it in a higher or lower position, whichever will make your goggles stay on better. It is actually one of the lightest helmets I've held. The only complaint I have is that on every color, there is some kind of design on the back right. I like a cleaner look, but its not too bad. Great helmet

Rating for this product: 4 November 8, 2008

These lenses fit perfectly. Shipped with adequate protection and no scratches. FYI that that mirror doesn't mean people can't see your eyes; you'll need the solex for that. Mirror just means that it reflects more light and makes the lens shiny, and comfortably reduces the light that reaches your eyes for bright conditions. The only thing Anon could have done better was make them scratch proof and always eye-hiding =)

They require you to mount them at the midsole (The boot center will be aligned with the narrowest part of the ski, or in this case with magnetraction, aligned with the center of the **largest** bump); which is farther forward on this ski than even most park skis. Mounting ahead or behind the midsole messes up the bumps. So no, but almost.
