• Name: 2009 Dakine Supertune Base Cleaner 4oz
• Pros:  Gets your board clean! The small bottle goes a long way, the stuff is pretty strong to clean up your board. Works great at the end of the season as you clean up your board and then put a layer of hot wax on it to store for the summer.
• Cons:  Make sure not to pour the cleaner directly on the base... Base cleaner strips out all the dirt and crap out of your base, but that includes wax too. I wouldn't use base cleaner and they go out and try to ride without giving it a hot wax.

Experience:   You only need to use base cleaner at the end of the season or if your board is extremely dirty. Make sure that you give it a hot wax before riding, as a little bit goes a long way. Also apply it to a rag, NOT directly on your base as it will cause extreme drying.

• Name: 2009 Analog Strategy
• Pros:  Very waterproof/breathable, Comfortable, Durable
• Cons:  Not much insulation,
• Jacket Fit:  Too big
• My Size:  XL
• Fits Like:  XXL
• Description:  This jacket is big and baggy, i usually wear a size up to increase mobility, but it wouldn't be necessary for this jacket - you could size down to fit comfortably.

Experience:   This is a solid jacket, durable and holding up well going into the 2nd full season of using. The jacket fits very large, so if you're debating between two sizes choose the smaller one. There are plenty of storage pockets, and the jacket keeps you dry. Comes with a usable hood, and zips up in front plenty to hide your neck if it's cold. The only (minor) downsides to this jacket I've experienced are that it's not the warmest, so make sure to layer up. Also the front zipper seems to be a bit weak, it's not large and easy to zip up and frankly looks cheap. For me it gets caught on the fabric midway up, which is an annoyance more than anything. Overall this is a solid jacket, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone - well built, waterproof, and very durable.

• Name: 2009 Von Zipper Dojo
• Pros:  These goggles are sick! I've been wearing feenoms all year, and I like these better. When comparing them to the feenoms(08), they don't seem a whole lot smaller, but they fit a little nicer I believe. They still give you a wide range of vision, perhaps you can see your nose a little bit but that's it. Very comfy, don't fog up at all, and they keep the wind out. The integrated skullcandy system is awesome, you don't have to worry about ear buds falling out anymore! They also come with a regular strap as well, so if you're not feeling the tunes you can switch out the strap and wear them as regular goggles. Also there is a separate headphone included so you can pop the speakers out of the goggle strap and into the headphone bracket so you can take your music wherever you go. The headphone quality is good, and you can put in a single AA (included) and the vibration pumps up the bass to your desired level.
• Cons:  There is no mute button on the headphones, but if you want you can just unplug one side (about 8in from the speaker) and listen from that ear, it works ok.

Experience:   These goggles are awesome! They fit a little smaller than the feenoms, but not at the expense of your peripheral vision. Don't hesitate to pick these up, they're great! The gold chrome lens is also great, reflects on the outside but allows you to see through even in lower-light situations.

• Name: 2009 Special Blend Icon Full Zip
• Pros:  This is an awesome hoodie! It's solid all around and fits fine. I have the black in large and it fits about what I would expect, maybe a tad long but the sleeves and everything else fits perfect. Everything has held up great so far, seems to be made of solid material. It's warm but not bulky. Really not much else to say, you won't be disappointed.

Experience:   The SB logo on the front is a pretty bright blue and sticks out quite a bit against the black. On the lower back right side it just says Special Blend underlined, everywhere else it's all black. Grab yours while they're still in stock!!!

• Name: 2009 Union Force
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Pros:  Adjustability, Easy in & out, Boot hold, Durable, Good construction quality, Comfortable, Popular model, Easy installation
• Cons:  Heavy
• Fit:  fits fine

Experience:   After all the hype on unions I expected the best from my forces. I wasn't disappointed. These binders are SUPER COMFY, not enough can be said for how nice the straps are. The heel strap is huge and way comfortable, and the adjusted capstrap allows you to hold your toes back well. Make sure you don't put the toe strap over the end of your toes, rather on the crest of your boots to hold it in place. These are a great all-around binding that lets you tear it up in the park while remaining responsive when you're bombing down the hill. They have tons of adjustment settings, and are made of quality materials all over. Would they have a lifetime warranty on the baseplate if it wasn't indestructible? All around, these bindings are the best you can get for your money, don't hesitate at all to pick up a pair of unions. Better pick up a pair before they are all gone!!!

• Name: 2008 Anon Figment
• Pros:  Super comfy. Great anti-fogging. Graphics are simple and clean. Gold lens lets you see everything at night. They fit snug to your head but not too tight. These goggles work great so far, the gold lens allows you to protect your eyes during the day and night, while being able to see even when it's pretty dark out there. They are super super comfy on your face, they don't pinch your nose and aren't to tight against your face. The venting system works great, Even if you have something around your neck and create a little bit of fog it goes away really quickly. All around these are a pretty nice set of goggles.
• Cons:  The field of vision isn't the widest, you can see above the bridge of your nose a little bit and the sides of the goggles in your peripherals. I have a pretty big head though, and they still have a wide enough field of view that it doesn't hinder your ability when riding down the mountain. They fit my gf's face perfectly so I'm sure any small to medium size faces don't have to worry about obstructing your view at all.

Experience:   These are some solid all around goggles, just make sure not to wipe the inside of the lens or you may wipe off the anti-fog. They come with a soft case so use that if you ever have to clean em out a little bit. Don't hesitate to pick these up if you come across a pair!

• Name: 2008 Burton Freestyle
• Skill:  Beginner
• Pros:  Adjustability, Easy in & out, Boot hold, Lightweight, Well known brand, Popular model, Easy installation
• Cons:  Uncomfortable
• Fit:  fits fine

Experience:   I bought a pair of these for my gf and brother. First off, can't be the price! If you are a beginner they will work great, my gf and brother have had nothing negative to say about them. I tried them out for a day, and this is what I found (I'm more experienced): The bindings are a bit bulky. Seems like there is a lot of plastic everywhere, more than necessary. The bindings were larges and I def. noticed that they were too wide for my 10.5 burton moto's. Not a ton but enough to see. I had to tug on the toe buckle quite a bit to get it to tighten, but once it was on it stayed. Going down the hill the binding preformed fine, hit some boxes and jumps and they held up fine. The biggest thing I had against these bindings was that they were uncomfortable for me. My moto's are pretty broken in so they are soft boots, but by the time I hit the bottom of the first fun my feet were killing me. I had to loosen them every time I went up the hill. Also the toe strap seemed to leave a lot of my toe uncovered, still worked but not ideal. For entry-level binders these will work fine. I'm spoiled riding my Forces so these don't really compare to those, but will work for a beginner/intermediate. I think the white looks good, the binders hold and have enough adjustments to satisfy your needs. If you know someone looking to get into the sport, they won't be disappointed with the Freestyles!

• Name: 2009 Sierra Crew
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Use:  Boxes,Carving,Groomers,Jumps,Rails
• Pros:  Easy to carve, poppy, Stable at high speeds, Popular model, Strong edgehold, Great value
• Cons:  Heavy, Top sheet scratches

Experience:   I've taken my Crew out 7 times so far, and I will say that it lives up to its expectations. This is an awesome board for a beginner or intermediate rider, and you can take it everywhere. It works great carving on the groomers, jumping off kickers or hitting rails and boxes. The board is flexible enough to work on some jibs or butter down the hill, but also stiff enough that you can bomb down the mountain with enough stability to stay comfortable and not worry about the board giving out on you. The edges don't catch very easily but give you enough hold to turn edge to edge very quickly, and allow you to keep grip even on those icy days(midwest for me). All around this is a solid board for the second generation of the crew, and works much better as an all mountain board from the 08 version which was park-oriented. As far as the looks, the topsheet is VERY reflective, i'm talking you can clearly see your own reflection when you take a look. The all-black gloss does get scratched very easily, but then again it is a snowboard and they get beat up. That's the way they are. My only concern with this board is that the base isn't the best. It seems to dry very quickly, especially along the edges. Mine has especially wore down near the edges, which according to Levi is due to the clear base with a black graphic underneath it, so it's not really a big deal. The base is a bit slow overall though, so make sure you hot-wax it more often than you usually would. Overall this board has met my expectations, it works great all over the mountain and you don't have to be afraid about taking it anywhere. For the price they sell these things at it should almost be considered stealing.

• Name: 2009 Dakine Afterburner Paste Wax 2oz
• Pros:  Don't have time to wax your board? Forgot to wax it but you're leaving for the hill? Want a quick wax between riding sessions? Paste wax takes a couple minutes to put on if you're in a bind.
• Cons:  No, it's not nearly as good as a hot wax, but no one said it would be.

Experience:   It's great to have in your bag for a backup plan. It works well for in-between waxes, or if you don't want to hot-wax your board every time you go out. It helps keep your base from drying out for a short while.

• Name: 2006 Burton Board Lock
• Pros:  Hopefully a lock is enough of a deterrent to thieves that they'll go for someone else's board instead of yours. It's also pretty easy to turn the combo and seems to snap open pretty easily once the combo is in. Easy to adjust the combo and it retracts pretty quick.
• Cons:  The wire is pretty thin, so it probably could be cut rather easily. It is a bit bigger than it would need to be, but you can still carry it in your pocket without much concern. The biggest problem I have with this lock is that it's hard to detach the actually lock from the casing. Maybe it's just my fat fingers but when it's cold I have a hard time prying the lock from the casting that it snaps into.

Experience:   If someone really wanted your board they could still find a way to get it, but hopefully the lock is enough of a deterrent that somebody else's board is going to be snatched and not yours. This lock is cheap enough thou that why wouldn't you buy one?

• Name: 2005 Burton TNT Bomber Boot Laces
• Pros:  Easy to have a pair of these for emergencies. Small and will fit almost anywhere. These are also some quality laces and will work out fine for a permanent replacement.
• Cons:  colors maybe?

Experience:   It's gonna be a ton easier to get $2 laces now then have to deal with broken laces on the mountain. For 2 bucks you can't go wrong, pick up a pair and you won't be disappointed.
