Reviving an old thread because I am bored wink

Boards - my past few sticks have been K2 (freeride) and Burton (for powder) - I like them so will prolly stick to them
Bindings - Have used Burton bindings since 1999 (several models) and am happy with them…..Have the C60’s for the US Winter to test so will let you know how they go wink
Gloves - Burton AK series - pricey? Yes, but my hands are never cold or wet…...you get what you pay for
Boots - whatever fits my foot best! After much searching and trying, I have found Salomon fit my foot well. I just hope their boot dimensions do not change much in subsequent models
Goggles - Have used Spy, Arnette, Dragon, however have settled (thanks to +1’s advice!) on the Oakley A Frames - they fit me like a gloves and am comfy on the face.
Helmet - Last 2 helmets have been Giro - no complaints there.
Jacket - Have 2 Arc’teryx jackets and they are hands down the best jackets I have owned. With my base and mid-layers (also Arc’teryx) I am always comfortable, never wet, etc - basically you won’t hear me whinging.  Yes they are not cheap but when you buy Arc’teryx you know you are getting quality that will last a LONG time
Pants - Burton AK 3L. Since buying them I have never had a wet butt. The fact I don’t worry if I am going to get a wet butt speaks volumes
Base Layers - Merino Wool (e.g.Ice Breaker, etc). Once again no complaints from me.

Bottom line - Don’t dismiss a brand without trying it on, wearing, etc - u never know smile

 

Hmmm,

Boards - Ride, Lib Tech
Bindings - Burton
Boots - Burton, 32
Outwear - Analog, although I don’t really have a favourite brand, just what looks cool and feels good.
Gogs - Dragon

Thats preetty much it..
