gozaimaas 61 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 My goretex burtons are leaking after about 50 days too, worn out at the finger tips These things look like my next foray into the glove world http://hestragloves....ves/alpine-pro/ ive been a hestra fan for quite a long time until recently i was very disappointed with my latest set of gloves (purchased at start of last season). they packed out almost immediately, were nowhere near as versatile as the previous pair i had (warm in cold, cold in warm), and the stitching for the leather is already showing signs of wear and coming undone. the same stuff happened to my old pair, but after more than 300 days on snow plus snow shoveling!, these are failing after only about 100 skiing. i think ill be getting something else next time. which models were they?

teikiatsulover 6 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Not this year because my skis are still good, but I'd like to buy some DPS 112's with dynafit bindings when they die. They will be expensive but they should last a long time. Still need to throw my Pontoons on auction too as I haven't skied them but three or four times. Wear and gloves are good. Oh maybe some goggles but that's about all I can think of at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites

onsen tamago 0 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'm still working out money situation, been a few sudden necessary expenditures this year. Have any shops put any winter stuff in yet? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 I've noticed my local shop has their new lines out but not the large chain shops....a bit early I guess Link to post Share on other sites

Chon.mage 0 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Can't afford. Will have to see how things are at the end of the season and any deals. Link to post Share on other sites
SantaCruz 0 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Backcountry has a coupon right now that bumps anything in outlet up to 40% off. Ordered an Arc'teryx Alpha SV. Little unsure on the sizing. But that's the best discount I've seen for that jacket so it's worth the gamble. Link to post Share on other sites
norcal 5 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Looking to get a helmet this season, debating the Smith Vantage or Smith Sequel. Leaning toward the Vantage (due to finding NO reviews about the sequel, lol), unless anyone has some input? Got me some Smith I/O's last season and they were great, heard these will match up nicely with the helmet. Also...do you wear anything under a helmet? edit: Although, the POC brand helmet uses Beats audio, rather than that cheap skullcandy stuff....hmmmmmm..... Link to post Share on other sites

kokodoko 67 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I want a pair of Oakley Canopy goggles with HI Yellow lens but cant afford them yet. If i have enough dosh i might get a pair before I head to the land of the setting moon. Link to post Share on other sites
teikiatsulover 6 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 edit: Although, the POC brand helmet uses Beats audio, rather than that cheap skullcandy stuff....hmmmmmm..... I didn't know that. Beats by Dre are pretty sweet sounding. I don't really listen to music on the mountain, but sometimes I wish I did when they blast that godawful J-pop over the speakers that would make The Who envious. I despise that about resorts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
