OAKLEY!!!! I don’t have any other sunglasses, glasses or goggles from other brand. I just love it… for no reason. Not just eyewear, jacket, Tee, bags, boardbag, backpack, luggage, boardshorts. I am a FAN of OAKLEY.:D

I haven’t touched eyewear from a brand other than Oakley for 14 years! Best lenses in the world, provided you use the correct one for the correct conditions.

I try not to adhere to brand loyalty. Brands can have great vision and consequently product, but that’s helmed by a few talented leaders/individuals. It’s very difficult to maintain that standard for an extended period of time (read: years) as these people leave company, are gradually overruled by corporate priorities, or various other reasons. The unfortunate thing is that the public is rarely aware of this as companies have a clear interest to keep this internal. The momentum of their previous successes keeps their popularity alive, but whether that is justified is always a question of concern. You have your fanboys on one end, haters on the other, and the remaining 95% of customers who aren’t “enthusiasts” of the sport in the middle. It’s that last crowd that will be hitting the enthusiast websites/forums and be easily swayed one way or another.

The point is that products and companies should be evaluated year after year on an even platform, however hard that may be.

Rome SDS for their great quality products and awesome customer support. resolved my issues and sent replacement cant beds super quick.

Never Summer – Just an amazing company all done in house, also great quality. Bit pricey but you definitely get what you paid for and in my opinion its worth every penny!

Capita – All their boards are absolutely amazing, very addicting like crack!! (although i don’t condone or ever used crack ) First time I tried their board I never wanted to give it back. Extremely playful and fun on the mountain.

l’m with burton, not because l love them but my inital board was a channel system. so l got bindings that were est to fit it. THen it everytime l swap up, l still have 1 burton product (binding or board) left that l dont need to switch so l just go burton either way. l know that union has a compatiable disk but l’m from canada and l pick my goods up in the states. l would be scared if it didnt come with it and l’m stuck on a weekend trip without my set. totally a bummer
