• Name: 2010 Union Sierra Contact SL
• Pros:  Light weight, Even pressure distribution, Comfortable
• Flex:  mid

Experience:   A wonderful mid-flex binding that is SO comfortable and even that you almost can't feel them on your boots. The Sierra Contacts are built a little different than the Union Forces, but I have found that for me the toe to heel responsiveness is almost exactly the same. The real difference is in the torsional flex when throwing spins or buttering around. They are more forgiving and give a bit more, which is what they're supposed to do. The straps are very light weight and are not as beefy as the Forces, but they are still ridiculously comfortable and the pressure on the boot is so even that I seriously almost can't feel them until I initiate a turn. They have only a small area of contact with the base plates and the board to interfere less with the board flex, and it makes a huge difference in the park and on those jibs. These binding feel and ride like light-weight park bindings, but perform all over the mountain. LOVE THEM.

• Name: 2007 Forum Recon Snowboard Boots Men's
• Pros:  Very light, easy to put on, comfortable
• Cons:  too tight,
• Fit:  mid
• Flex:  mid
• Shoe Size:  9
• Boot Size:  9.5 or maybe even a 10

Experience:   I bought a pair online just for a back up boot, and after trying them out for a few days I'm really not that thrilled. My foot felt a little too tight, and even with the heat-moldable liners, they didnt really loosen up to the point of being comfortable. Another note is that I like how easily they slip on, but when I'm riding I feel like my foot seems to slide forward or backward in the boot, even when the overall feel is too tight. Weird. I decided that I would be better off using these things when I'm shoveling the driveway, and not boarding.

• Name: 2010 32 Lashed
• Pros:  comfortable, functional, light-weight, sick style
• Cons:  just a tad softer than expected (but nothin major),
• Fit:  mid
• Flex:  mid
• Shoe Size:  9
• Boot Size:  9

Experience:   I picked up these guys on Amazon for dirt cheap, and after riding with them I would gladly pay full price. The design and thoughtful construction make these boot so functional, while maintaining a great blend of simplicity and great style. They truly are an all-mountain boot, a balanced blend of comfort and responsiveness. I was worried about the fit without trying them on first, but they are a perfect match. They are a little wider in the toe than other boots I've had, which keeps my toes comfortable, without any heel slippage. They are warm, and (as another reviewer mentioned) depending on your socks they can get a little wet after a days riding. All in all, I've only had them for a little while, but from now on, these guys will be getting all the money I spend on boots. You can't go wrong with thirty-two.

• Name: 2009 Von Ziper Feenom Replacement Lens
• Pros:  The goggles are awesome. I love having many different color lens options
• Cons:  The Feenom replacement lenses are a HUGE pain to find. Very few stores (retail or online) have these in stock so beware.

Experience:   When my Feenoms wear out I will probably look for a different goggle unless replacement lens become more readily available

• Name: 2007 Limited Hawk
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Cons:  Doesn't perform

Experience:   This was my first board and I haven't ridden it for 2 years, but I still use it as a loaner when friends come into town. It's not bad, but I always found it a little hard to manuver. Granted, I was a beginner when I bought it, and other friends who have ridden it seem to have liked it a little more than I did. I'll have to get back on it one of these day and see how it goes.

• Name: 2008 Smith Cascade Pro
• Pros:  These guys NEVER fog up and fit a medium sized face realy well. These work perfectly with my RED frequency helmet, and are a great back up goggle. They are comfortable. light weight, and best of all, they are a great deal for SUPER cheap.
• Cons:  Wish they had bigger lense color selection

Experience:   I originally bought these for my wife, but I liked them so much that I kept them. I'll have to get her a pair of her own

• Name: 2008 Von Zipper Feenom Chrome
• Pros:  These things are easy to see through and I look awesome wearing them. Very comfortable, although they don't sit as well with my helmet as well as my other pairs of goggles. They have only fogged up once when I was wearing a face mask and climbing up a big hill in a snowstorm. I agree that the bronze chrome seems to be better- I tried on all the colors and bought the bronze chrome. They look really dark (check out my photos), but they work well on all but the darkest and snowiest days. The lenses are a little trcky to get in and out, but they are super sturdy and very comfy.
• Cons:  Hard to change out the lenses

Experience:   Very cool.

• Name: 2009 Option Motive
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Pros:  Great value, Soft

Experience:   I have to say that I've had a lot of fun pregressing with this board. It got a nice forgiving flex in the park, but holds an edge well when you ride more aggresively. I have noticed that it is a little slower than some friends' boards, but when waxed up well it keeps up just fine. The graphics are SICK, and I get compliments all the time. I have had some difficulty in deeper powder, but that may also be my inexperience

• Name: 2009 Union Force
• Skill:  Intermediate
• Pros:  Lightweight, Comfortable
• Fit:  fits fine

Experience:   I really like these bindings, but they are only my second pair. I bought the forces cause I got a reccomendation from GUTH and Liloleme. I had some of the same sticking problems as other riders, but once I broke the toe straps in they layed down in place nicely. Other small problem- I was riding in a negative 10 degree day and wiped out off a jump. The hard plastic clip on the back (to adjust forward lean angle) chipped and cracked in half. So far it hasn't affected performance, so its no big deal. I figure it had a lot to do with the fact that it was freakin cold that day. Otherwise, I'm very happy witth comfort of these babies

• Name: 2009 Dakine Spike
• Pros:  It works really well, and if you have an eggshell white board like me, the white/clear pad blends in nicely
• Cons:  it a little big, but it works well with my board.

Experience:   One time at night I stepped on it barefoot and I almost had to get pliers to remove it from the bottom of my foot
