The backcountry Inbounds gloves are are bit more bulky than I like when ice climbing but they kept my hands warm in 30deg temps and stayed respectively dry without the Nikwax leather treatment. They were bone dry after being in my sleeping bag when I used them to climb the next day.

Rating for this product: 5 December 15, 2011

Both Backcountry and all Scarpa sizing charts I have goggled so far say that these boots in size 24.0 are equal to a European size 39. But actually they run a bit small. A foot with size 39 would be better off in a 24.5 or 25.0.

for shell sizing they run 23.5/24

Black Diamond Ascension Nylon Custom STS Skins

Black Diamond Ascension Nylon Custom STS Skins

Rating for this product: 4 June 16, 2010

1. Decide on material type:
Nylon: Generally climbs better and offers more traction, can be considered more durable, stiffer and hydrophobic. They do not glide as well as Mohair. These are the pitbull of skin material.
Mohair Pure: 100% Mohair is a natural fiber and offers a superior glide over Nylon. Lighter weight, packs better, probably not as durable over the long term. Not as water repellent as Nylon. Well suited for long approaches and tours.
Mohair Mix: These are a 65% Mohair and 35% Nylon for extra durability.

2. Decide on tail attachments:
STS tail attachment: Uses an over-the-center camming device combined with a stretchy elastomer strap that's easy to tension and remove—very versatile and easier to adjust in the length as needed. Easy to use. We sell far more STS style skins than any other.
Standard: Does not use any style of tail attachment system (duct tape is your friend). It’s simple, basic, and there is nothing to break or lose.

3. Choose between Glidelite or Ascension:
Ascension Skins: Tend to be boardier, perhaps a bit more durable, harder to fold up small, but are easier to put on in a stiff breeze.
Glidelite: Pretty much the opposite of the above (more pliable and packable than the stiff Ascension).

I am a fan of these skins. The glide is good and with good care they don't ice up too often with the use of skin wax. Cutting the skins can be a little difficult but with a little patience it's really not that hard. measure twice cut once. They are holding up great after having 50+ days on them.

The Pedros Tire Lever are the best levers I have ever used. I will not use anything else. After breaking 3 different types of levers, park, oakley, and some random lever. These are burly and are great for getting the tire on and off. Comes in a set of two levers. I only wish that the green would glow in the dark. They don't bend and so far haven't broken. I also don't believe they are made out of hardened steel. More like crazy tough plastic reinforced in the right spots.

Love the fit and the flex but when I put them into Marker Jesters there was a lot of movement between the interface of toe piece of the binding and the toe of the boot. The toe height can't be adjusted on the Jesters so I will be passing on these boots. I put some Nordicas in the same bindings and everything was snug and there was no movement.

Duke Brings the BEEF

Marker Duke Ski Binding

Marker Duke Ski Binding

Rating for this product: 5 March 20, 2009

The Marker Duke Ski Binding is Bomber. I love and hate the fact that the lever to switch over from AT/SKI mode is under the boot and won't accidently flip to an undesired position. But this allso makes it so you have to get out of your skis all the way to switch modes. The flip can be kind of difficult if you have lost all feeling in your fingers or have bulky gloves on. They have toughed it out alot better than I have thought and have only seen a problem with the front screw plate, the one that connects the bindings to the skis, craking, likely to the skrews being to tight, it was still able to be ridding out though just not in AT mode and backcountry.com hooked it up with a brand new pair no questions asked. They are the heaviest things out there but if you want a reliable predictable binding with a hudge din then you want the Marker Dukes if you don't need all the Din and want the same sweet features go with the Marker Barons. You can deffinitly feel the weight diffrence between the dukes and the Black Diamond Freerides when Skining.

K2 Hellbent Alpine Ski

K2 Hellbent Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 5 March 20, 2009

In Powder The K2 Hellbent skis is like riding a trampoline down the mountain. These skis are super fun when all you have is a few inches to get the most out of. They are very playfull, jumpy and a sinch to ski. These skis make skiing powder easier than skiing groomers. Jumping off stuff takes some getting used to as you don't have to lean so far back to make the skis rise to the surface, you need to be more centered on the ski and they will do all the work. Once the mountain gets tracked out though they become a little much for me to handle being as they are really soft and don't like to ski the crud or bumps at all. I am 5''6' 140 and the 179s were great for my moderate skiing ability. The K2 Hellbents are a great ski to have in your quiver but not as your daily driver.

The North Face Foundation Bib - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2009

These bibs are great I am 5'6'' and 135lbs and have a 31'' waist. The mediums fit a little baggy and long but don't feel huge. I am able to fit my padded shorts on under them and not feel to restricted. The leg cuffs will take some abuse as long as you are not walking directly on them. They have stayed water resistant for some time now at least 50+ days but are needing a wash and reapplication of nikwax tx spray on and they should be good as new. The vents on the upper part of each leg have mesh in them let enough air in to cool you off. I have noticed that I need to adjust the suspenders one every two times out but other than that they don't slip much at all. I really like these bibs for the price. I would go with he mountain hardware exposure II bibs if I was looking for a back country ski bib as they have full leg zips.

The Light & Motion ARC bike light is pretty decent casting a nice spray of light. I like the soft yellow light it has. The battery pack Velcro secures the battery tightly in place. The head mount works great but can be a little tricky to tilt the light as it is only held by compression in little groves but it does stay where you want it to. I would say that the time is decent for most of my night rides I can get about and hour and forty five min. O and there is only one light setting it;s either on or off no dimming.

I like the cliff bar blueberry bars better. But these are pretty good. but for the price I will take the Cliff's over this flavor. IT seems to be easier to eat than the cliff bar though with more ingredients.

Honey Stinger Protein Bars - 20g - 12 Pack

Rating for this product: 4 August 4, 2008

I love the cherry almond flavor. They get hard to eat after about half the bar. The taste is good but it is pretty dense. The chocolate coating is the best part though. If the bar was half as think they would be a lot better. They freeze pretty solid in the winter so keep them close to your body if your planning on biting into them so you don't brake your teeth. in the summer they turn in to a gooey melty mess.

Rating for this product: 5 August 4, 2008

I like the room that this bag has in it. When I use my un-insulated air core mat though a lot of heat is lost and I find my self getting cold easily even in the low 40s. When I use a regular foam mat I have no problems at all staying warm. It also will zip together with a Marmot bag. I would definitely buy this bag again. Packs down to a decent size. It's a little heavier than my 15 deg down bag but The synthetic is nice to have since I will mostly be using it in wetter areas.

Wish I would have done some more searching you can definitely find the same grill for a lot cheaper at Wally World. I wouldn't have minded paying more if I thought It was worth it but one of the handles has broken and the hinges don't feel sturdy at all. It cooks great and have used it around 15 times...

I wasn't exceptionally thrilled with this tent. It did keep us dry through 3 days of non stop rain but the space and lay out of the tent seemed weird. The two doors were nice but it seemed that the fly was low and the angles of the tent walls were a bit tight. It was easy to put up. It would be nice if it breathed a little better too.

I have gotten at least 50 long hard days out of these gloves. The palm has started to deteriorate but I am completely satisfied with the amount of use I have gotten out of them. I believe I can get another 15 rides out of them. I have used them to do minor trail work as well which has helped take some life out of them. They fit great. Wish there was a nose wipe or something but my sleeve works just as good. They all so made a great spring ski glove but would get wet pretty quick.

I liked these boots they fit nice but I found it real easy to over tighten them. One should keep an eye on the spin tightener it tends to come loose and need to be tightened with the little allen key that comes with the boots. I lost one but DC was able to send me a new one pretty quick.
