[img]855393[/img][b]Days Tested:[/b] 10+ [b]Features: [/b]-Over the Glasses -UV 400 Protection -Dual Layer Lens for extra durability -Anti-Fog Technology -Shatterproof Lens -3 layer foam -Magnetic Lens System [b]Functionality: [/b]The Outdoor Master Pro goggles come with an easy-to-use magnetic system. The goggles come off quite easily once you get the hang of it- but not too easily. You still have to grab the lens at the right angle and pull, rather than any which way (which is a good thing!). I haven't had any trouble with the lenses coming off when I don't want them to, however, I have not experienced a bad fall which may sacrifice this either. The lenses pop right back on when you hold them up to the correct position putting you right back in business in seconds if you need to switch out lens' per condition. [b]Fogging:[/b] I haven't done too much hiking in these yet, but regardless I haven't had any issues with fogging. I've tested them in weather from -20F to 20F and in some light snow and the goggles have stayed clear in each scenario. [b]Optics: [/b]The plain sight view of these lenses (I tested the Colorful and Blue Lenses), looking straight ahead was exceptionally clear. The only part I had problems with was the peripheral sides of the lenses slightly distorted the light. [b]Final Impressions:[/b] Talk about bang for your buck!! I've used the similar WM1 from Anon ($200 +) for over 100 days and while I would still say the optics on the Anons are clearer, these are an awesome cheaper alternative. I would recommend these goggles to your average weekend skier as both a reliable and an affordable option! New for the 17/18 season you can buy new interchangeable lenses, including polarized. Available both on their website and via Amazon.[url=https://www.amazon.com/OutdoorMaster-Ski-Goggles-PRO-Interchangeable/dp/B014XKTFI0/ref=sr_1_4?s=outdoor-recreation&ie=UTF8&qid=1484977382&sr=1-4&keywords=ski+goggles] Get your hands on a pair today through Amazon.com![/url]
[img=]858494[/img] The Revolts are a custom goggle offered by [url=http://sungod.to/jOLhwzvJ]SunGod[/url], a company on the come up out of the UK. Consumers have the ability to choose between different lenses, frames, and straps- so whether you like color or to be murdered out black like me, there are endless possibilities to create a unique look. [b]Features: [/b]-Flexible framing that forms to your face -Anti-Fog Vents -100% UVA + UVB Protection -Spherical Lens with Impact Resistance -Triple-layer scratch resistance coating -Easy Switch lens system -Non-slip strap -Covered by lifetime warranty I typically wear these under my helmet and they stay put where I need them all day long in addition to comfort and no irritation. They have little pieces on the side of the frame that you give a little twist and the lenses pop right of and are easily interchangeable in minutes. Although I have used a lot of magnetic systems in the past these still change quickly to get you back in business as soon as possible. I haven't gotten out and done much hiking in these to test the anti-fog while I'm sweating, however, I've been really impressed with them so far. I've worn them out in everything from -20F (-28C) to 20F (-6C) and they have stayed clear in each situation. Perhaps what I've been most impressed with on these are the optics. Their 4KO Snow technology provides a wide view with crystal clear lenses. I use the smoke lenses which are incredibly versatile and perform well in both the sun and snow, which has been a refresher from needing to change my lens from the morning to afternoon- no matter what the weather the smoke lenses are a '1 quiver' lens to say the least. [b] [/b]Overall I'm incredibly stoked on this product and company. Supporting athletes like James 'Woodsy' Woods, they're definitely putting their foot in the door for innovative products and I look forward to seeing what they come up with in the future. They cover every base- optics, comfort, ease of use and functionality and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new versatile goggle.

The Jessie 98 is an essential part to ON3P's new women's line, which is in its second production year. ON3P didn't cut any corners with this one- the ski has the same durable construction as any other ON3P ski. I took the Jessie 98 out on Mt. Hood July/August '16 for a total of about 10 days and rode everything from fresh icy corduroy, to thick summer slush. The Jessie is true to ON3P's 'Freestyle Rocker Profile'. It has elliptical rocker and elliptical sidecut which translates into an energetic ski that's playful and poppy, but has strong camber underfoot, as well as a powerful edge, allowing you as a skier to charge and carve hard. When I look for skis, and especially women's skis, I require a pair that has enough bomb-proof strength to keep me charging through whatever the variable conditions are- I can happily say the Jessie met this standard. This ski is aggressive enough to be an everyday asset to progressive women's skiers. TLDR; The Jessie puts the shred into lady shred.
Meet the Abyss- a part of Coalition's first ski line made for women, designed by women. I was intrigued by the skis ever since the first Kickstarter launch, I've firsthand experienced how some women's skis (for lack of a better term), just suck. Shrink'ed and pink'ed. I first got my hand on a pair of their skis at SIA, I got to give them the good ole' flex test. Stiff but responsive, just how I like them. [embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/BDGpoecHKm7/?taken-by=girlsdoshred[/embed] I was able to meet up with Coalition's COO, Jenn Sheridan in mid-march to put the Abyss' through the ringer in Jackson Hole. It was a sunny spring day, and we had just gotten 50" over the past week. Parts of the mountain were skied out, but we were able to find plenty of soft snow to play around in. [img=]831440[/img] [i]Taking turns through the expert chutes. Jenn Sheridan photo[/i] I'm aggressive on my skis, and I require them to help me charge through anything the mountain has in store- especially in Jackson. We started off the day on some variable groomers, warmer weather gave us some inconsistent slush and bumps, however the Abyss did just fine charging through them. From making wide turns to straight out bombing, the Abyss remained powerful in control while still allowing me to be playful over rollers and side hits. I wasn't hesitant to push the ski's limits. I didn't get the opportunity to ski the Abyss in fresh, light, powder. However, I still had some fun in some new-ish snow, their performance was no different from earlier in the day. Making turns came naturally, and the stiffness of the ski excelled in deeper conditions. I recommend the Abyss to the ladies who need a ski without an upper limit- if you love to charge, this ski is for you. And it comes in lengths long enough to keep up with us shredders. [img=]831444[/img] SPECS: LENGTH: 173cm / 180 cm TIP: 137 mm / 140 mm WAIST: 114 mm / 118 mm TAIL: 130 mm / 135 mm CENTER RADIUS: 24 m TIP RADIUS: 43 m TAIL RADIUS: 48 m CONSTRUCTION: Full birch wood core absorbs vibrations and provides a solid flex that will hold up at high speeds and variable conditions. Slanted ABS sidewalls lower swing weight, allow for quicker turn initiation, and provide a solid edge grip. These things turn on a dime. Rebound and energy created through sandwich construction.

Have you ever had the problem of being too ridiculously good looking? Too many people buying you drinks? Only four spots on the chairlift and over fifteen homies want to sit with you? [b]Meet Pit Viper's newest line: The Mirrored Collection. [/b] The Standard Pit Viper has several adjustable points to perfect fit on your face. The key adjustment point, however, the arm of the sunglasses is extremely difficult to move, I was able to tighten it to my needs (with fear that I was breaking the glasses). But thankfully no additional need to adjust it from here on out. I've worn them skiing quite a few times, they protect more of your face than your standard glasses, and allow for maximum air flow and breathability for your face. (Great for a warmer sunny day, maybe not as great for a windy below freezing morning). They're even great to throw on when my goggles are fogging up, I've only had fogging issues with the Pit Vipers after tomahawking and covering them in snow. But even there- they don't fall off. All in all, the Pit Vipers are fashionable and functional eyewear for anything from the beach to the slopes.
Featuring Magna-Tech Quick Lens Change Technology. Days tested: 50+ While many are concerned with the magnetic lens' falling off during a big impact, I've used them over 50 days and never had a problem with this despite taking a few large falls. The magnetic technology is incredibly simple to use- it takes about 5 seconds to switch between lenses- no hassle of even taking the goggles off to do so or pulling levers. It's an easier system than I've seen used on any other pair. I wear my goggles under my helmet, so they rest on my head when I push them up or go indoors. The sweating and temperature change there has definitely caused fogging issues, however sometimes this is easily fixed by quickly pulling them off and wiping the inside. I love the breathability, in the past I've had issues with more air coming in than I prefer but that is definitely not the case with this pair. Comes with two lens' and ability to purchase more for variability in all kinds of weather.
Dimensions: 139-114-132 Mounted at recommended with Salomon Guardian 16s. The Jeffreys have a full bamboo core, are camber underfoot and rockered 40.5 cm in from both the tip and the tail. The skis have a soft flex and it's not difficult to butter the nose or tail press. I've skied the Jeffrey in both a variable of conditions and locations. From long groomers in colorado, 16" in Utah, and sloppy moguls in Jackson- these skis have really seen it all with me. I've found from driving underfoot through the camber portion of the ski, I'm able to hold a strong edge and make wide, aggressive turns. Neither ice nor slush phases the ski, as it has enough body to power through any condition. In conclusion, for my purposes, I'd use them as a go-to for a charging ski and in addition, the flex is soft enough to allow them to remain playful.
The Blackstrap, inc. Daily tube has a tighter fit, but is a definite go-to for my everyday facetube needs. It's light, breathable, moisture wicking, SPF 55+ & is lens safe for your goggle or camera needs.
STYLE & FIT: Finding a women's jacket without the unflattering tight fit with no movability has always been a challenge, let alone some length. As someone who primarily wears mens jackets, the deal came along and I found my women's go-to. The fit is relaxed, and it has a longer fit. FUNCTIONALITY: 10K Waterproofing- it's not a rain jacket, but for my daily purposes, I haven't had any issues with staying dry. I'm big on pockets, coming from mens jackets with huge front pockets, it took a little adjustment. After several days of use however, I've found the chest pockets are perfect for smaller items, and I can fit my phone, GoPro, etc in the square pockets at the bottom or side zippers which are right behind those square pockets. I haven't had a chance to wear it in extremely cold conditions, however I have no doubts that this jacket is going to keep me warm through that.
These socks are thick, comfortable, padded and warm. There's moisture wicking technology, which helps my feet stay dry as they sweat all day in my boots. I've noticed that they don't collect odor like other socks as well. The padded socks are an added bonus to keep my legs taken care of within my boots. Most importantly, they're warm! My toes stay cozy within my boots the whole day. Would definitely recommend these socks to anyone looking for something comfortable, warm, and dry!
PROS: - These pants fit me really well, they're not skin tight, but not baggy either, very flattering and comfortable - Come with suspenders that are connected/removable by buttons but stay on very well - Lots of ventilation & very breathable CONS: - The only problem I had with these was that they were almost a little too breathable for me, which is something I'm simply not used to. Look very cute paired with a black jacket of mine!
This helmet is light, comfortable, clean and adjustable. BOA adjustable feature is awesome because you can wear it with or without a hat, and adjust accordingly. Only problem with that is the adjustable part sticks out the back and you cant remove the liner or ear pieces. Has 6 ventilation points; 2 front, 2 top back, 2 bottom back allowing for adequate, but not too much ventilation throughout the day. Liner is soft and has mesh around your head which is comfortable and you can wear w/o a hat. Helmet clip in back is durable and will keep goggle strap in place. Magnetic clips are durable and really convenient in contrast to 4 prong (normal clips) that break easily. Overall, this is so light and comfortable, feels like I'm not even wearing a helmet.
This has become my go-to base layer both crew and leggings. It's light and breathable and keeps me at a good temperature while I'm shredding. On a colder day, with how light it is, I'm definitely going to want to layer with it (I get cold really easily and am exposed to some gnarly low temps quite often however). It stays dry while I sweat all day, and is extremely cozy to stay in when I undress from my outer layers during the evening. Sparknotes: light, moisture wicking, & cozy!
This jacket is durable and the insulation has kept me warm out on the slopes! I can actually move my body around athletically whether it's in the park or shredding big mountain. I was really worried about a white jacket, but the waterproofing wicked off some mud without it settling into the jacket. For ladies wondering about fit- it's slim but not body hugging.
This jacket fits really great and is my go-to for lapping the park. Enough to keep me from getting cold, but not too much that I overheat in. I love the fit- it's not too baggy nor too tight. I've had a little trouble with the zipper after a year, but just a minor tweak I have to do to it before heading out everyday. Pockets are probably my favorite part. The front ones are big enough to hold 2 beers... each. So roughly whole jacket wise we're talking 6 beers!
I've been skiing with this jacket for a few years it's still holding up incredibly well. Some highlights- -Fleece around the wrists which both keeps snow/ air out, but also keeps them warm. -Mobile -WARM Skiing on lots of tow ropes, I have a lot of problems with ripping around the hand cuffs, this has been very minimal on this jacket, especially with so much use. Zippers are thick, which is awesome because I haven't ran into any problems with them on this jacket. Biggest complaint is that it's not my favorite as far as pockets go- they're kinda small.
THESE SKIS ARE SO FUN. Awesome for rails, groomers, etc. So so so so playful. I've skied them in MN and although you can't really take them through rough icy chunks and what not because they're so soft. Not a charging ski. BUT, so fun for playing around in the park and groomers all over the hill. New cap construction for 2015, large improvement over 2014 TCs.
Picked up these goggles a couple of seasons ago (not same graphic as pictured in photo- however endless options of colors!). The straps are very easily adjustable, so if I've ever gotten to the point where I feel like they're falling off my head, it's an easy fix. Definitely a normal field of view- if they're on properly I've never had any issues seeing. PROS: They're durable, don't scratch easily if you take care of them, comfortable, interchangeable lens', ventilation. CONS: Vents don't close, fog up on insides sometimes when drastic indoor/outdoor temp changes, have to pull straps really tight if you secure around head instead of helmet.
This ski does it all. Park, pipe, groomers, pow, you really can take it anywhere and be comfortable with it. That was probably my favorite part about riding it (skied on it for ~2 seasons). Had a ton of fun bombing around with them. However as I progressed as a rider they simply weren't enough, therefore my only complaint would be there simply wasn't enough stability as I became an aggressive skier. But they're very playful and can honestly be your one ski quiver! Great for: someone who wants to have a fun, playful ski to take all over the mountain.
These pants rock. I've gone skiing in the rain, then been inside for 5 minutes and I look down and they're completely dry. I've been riding with them for two complete seasons now and they don't have any rips, and the bottoms aren't fringing/tearing yet either. I normally only wear one layer underneath and as a skier in a freezing climate, they keep me pretty warm. WOULD RECOMMEND!
Demo'ed these out in the Beartooth's and am fairly certain I'm going to buy a pair. Super stable and blew through everything I rode over, don't think I've ever enjoyed riding a pair of skis more than these guys.
