I have quite a few pieces of Mountain Hardware gear and some of them I have put to the test for well over a decade and they always hold up really well to my active lifestyle. While this jacket is new to me it has the same great quality and feel as my other puffy's along with a great fit. I tend to wear large in shirts but I went with a medium in this jacket and it fits great. Really happy with my new jacket!

I always wear a size 9 shoe and I ordered these in a size 9 and they fit great. The quality seems top notch. I got them at the end of the season so I only got four days on them so I do not know about long term durability yet. I tried them first without the plastic stiffeners and they were a tad too flexible for my poor ankle but with the stiffeners in these boots are some stiff doggers! They are fantastic and I am happy with the whole package. They are comfortable right out of the box and I did not have to do the heat insole forming task to find them fantastic. Good work Vans! And by the way they look good too! Stoked on my purchase.

I am so excited to have a new awesome snowboarding jacket! I have been rocking my old school one for well over a decade and I am so impressed with quality and thoughtful touches Dakine put into this jacket. The outer fabric has a soft, smooth feel and the inner panels are super soft with just the right amount of fuzziness in the key zones. It has great useable pockets and I love the added length in the back to keep my booty warm and dry on the lifts. Not to mention it has the perfect fitted flattering look without being overly tight. So so happy :)

Ive seen these shoes around for years but never tried a pair till now. I got them more for regular hiking than true mountaineering since I need all the ankle support I can get these days. These are sweet shoes! I like the way the ankle articulates forward while still giving excellent lateral stability. The quality of the boot seems top notch. The vibram sole, gore tex, high quality materials all make this boot a winner and they were comfortable for me right out of the box. Stoked!

This is an awesome jacket for layering or wearing alone. It is super soft and cozy but not bulky or heavy. It is really nice and packable perfect for hitting the trails and traveling with. Two big thumbs up!

As an outdoor junky it is fun to try out all the new types of outdoor gear. I like this piece because it has the hood. I don't have any other layering type LS shirts that have the built in hood. I don't like gear too tight so Im 5'7 and 160 lbs and went with the medium and it is a good fit. I also find myself putting this on when Im around the house and doing outdoor chores.I also where it skiing in case I need a little extra warmth on the chair since my jacket does not have a hood. Cool piece of gear and fills a nice niche.

I have owned many down jackets over the years, but this is the first time I have tried one with a hood. I love it as a true top layer jacket and the hood is so cozy I find myself pulling it up to enjoy the quietness and warmth more than I ever pull up a hood on a rain jacket or parka for example. Because of the down there is not the over heating issue, just super cozy factor. The entire jacket is well built, super warm, good stitching, good pockets and all in all an outstanding piece of gear. Very Happy!

Arc'teryx is one of my favorite outdoor gear brands! Everything I have from them is super bomber, functional and looks great. This jacket keeps me toasty warm on the super cold northwest winter days and has a cute form flattering cut so I still get to feel girly while bundled up!

Now that Im in my mid 40's and have two compromised ankles I don't fool around with cheap shoes anymore. These shoes are the bomb! They are so well built and incredibly comfortable. They have amazing tension control right along the entire shoe. The full leather up past the ankle provide top notch stability without feeling too stiff up on the shin since they terminated the leather at the perfect place before the upper fabric. Square heel for more stability. So glad I squeezed the trigger on these! Amazing shoes. Get some!

So I like these a lot! Im using these shoes for everyday use. I have a bad ankle and need everyday support. So these fit the bill with the double clasp option to control the ankle support and have a nice sole to create stability from rolling. I live in the northwest so the gore tex is a must! They are light weight, super cozy and feel well built. Stoked on these. I wear a size 9 and these fit true to size.
