Fashion Police: sick

Chest: Feels true to size

Body: Feels true to length

Inseam: Feels true to length

Sick jacket

Terrain Use: Backcountry, All Mountain, All Mountain

Good For: Spring Day, Blue Bird Powder Day, Cloudy and Cold, Cold and Blustery Day, Snow and Rain Mixed, Sleet, Storming and White Out

Pros: Breathable, Durable, Lightweight, Warm, Waterproof

Other Thoughts: Knowing Sierra's infamous sales, you can get a great deal on one of these. I went through almost 10 jackets before I found one I could move in and still be kept warm. This one was the winner hands down.

Customer Service: Shipped same day, Members/Staff were helpful

Fit: fits fine

Width: fits fine

Straps: Best straps ever

High quality binding for Freerides

Terrain Use: Groomers

Pros: Easy in & out, Durable, Good construction quality, Lightweight, Comfortable, Well known brand, Easy installation

Other Thoughts: IF you are doing mostly free riding, these are great bindings. If you're trying to get backcountry or some other gnarly terrain, get something with a stiffer response like a C60 or Cartel. For what I paid and what they do, you can't go wrong as a beginner or intermediate rider.

Graphics: simple and clean

Fit: stiff

Width: wider

Laces: speed lace

Stiff and Responsive

Terrain Use: Powder, Carving, Groomers, All Mountain

Pros: Heel hold, Comfortable, Easy lacing, Well known brand

Cons: Not warm

Other Thoughts: To start, I wear a size 15 and these are some of the only boots that fit. But they are stiff and fit as close to a shoe size as possible. Keep in mind that I went through 4 pairs of bindings until I found a pair (Burton P1's) that could toe cap on this boot.
