Hah, we have pretty similar setups Shredlife. What don’t you like about the Ions? I think the feel/performance of the 08’s was better (a little stiffer), but construction and the speedzone improvements are far superior on the 09’s. I stripped 3 laces on my 08’s.

Arc’teryx makes nice stuff!

Arc’teryx’s stuff is incredible. Can’t speak highly enough of their jackets.  If there was a nuclear war, the only thing left would be the c- ockroaches and my Arc’teryx jackets.

Was overseas a few years ago and borrowed a friend’s Arc’teryx Alpha Jacket. Went out and bought my own one (actually 2 of them) the next day. Worn them for a couple of seasons and they are still like brand new. As an added bonus I reckon they look “stylin” as well smile

The cut of their pants doesn’t fit me personally but if their jackets are anything to go by, you will NEVER get a wet butt grin

HA HA!!
good one!

I’ve never been a fan of the pants either. too ski style maybe? i dunno…
I’ve never owned anything of theirs, but I’m a fan.

Yeah I was puzzled by their pants. Put a pair on and I felt like MC Hammer in that music video “you can’t touch this” - Even a butt twice the size of mine wouldn’t have filled the pants! Must have been designed for Americans wink

Still their jackets fit like a gloves so very happy with them.

 

I am talking board bingings and boots.

Haven’t ridden the C60s yet. My next ride wont be Jan 2010 in Lake Tahoe (Prolly not going to bother riding in Oz this season)......but I *imagine* they will be! smile
Got them for a song so couldn’t resist.

I have ridden in both bindings (owned Cartels for a few seasons and spent two days testing the C60s at the product launch). The C60 are significantly more responsive. If you are looking for a stiff binding, they are an excellent choice. I really liked the C60s, super, super responsive.
