Zeal Optics Essential Review - Video
11/13/2012 Home › Gear Reviews | 0 comments
Sunglasses; I cannot live without them. I have a pair of sunglasses in every place I may go that would lead me to being outside. A few pairs in my truck, one pair in my wife's vehicle, a pair at the front door and another at the back, plus the pair that is almost constantly on my face or on top of my head. I am not so desperate that I am going to wear glasses with poor optical quality or poor fit though.

Tried and True Review: Burton Cartel Snowboard Bindings
9/25/2012 Snowboard Genius › Reviews | 0 comments
I am the type of guy who likes to have several different types of the same gear. I'm not content with just having an all-mountain snowboard, I like to have a board that will excel in the many types of conditions and terrain that varied weather and complex mountains present. However, snowboard bindings are one thing that has not fallen pray to this mentality.

Tried and True Review: Black Diamond Expedition Poles
9/18/2012 Snowboard Genius › Reviews | 0 comments
Being a snowboarder you wouldn't think I would put too much thought into having ski poles. However, I am on a splitboard in the backcountry more often than at a resort. Thus, being required to hike to my destinations has proven that having poles is almost necessary and that they come in handy more times than you might imagine.

Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XLite Sleeping Pad Review
5/14/2012 Backpacking Genius › Reviews | 0 comments
Until I bought this new sleeping pad, I hadn't put much thought into what kept me comfortable in the backcountry.

Now that I am optimally equipped, I wish I had put the NeoAir XLite closer to the top of my wish list years ago.

When I was 12 or so my sister told me I didn't look good in a visor. Since then I have stayed away, but have always been tempted by their functionality. A few weeks ago, 16 years later, I decided to forgo her advice and bought one regardless of its geekery.
