					<description><![CDATA[Intended Purpose: The Bonfire Banked Fleece is essential for the mountains. The jacket is designed with a fleece lining for snowboarding (or around town) and an accented hood. It&#8217;s a great collection for layering on the mountain during the cold winter or warm spring conditions. Fit: It was designed to be a layering piece in the Bonfire line so the fit hugs the body without being overly loose. It features a longer fit in my opinion so it doesn&#8217;t feel short and the sleeves are a good length. I can zip up the jacket and have good protection around the neck and head for windy days on the mountain. Appearance: I received the banked fleece as a gift from the skier in the bright red color. It&#8217;s bright and I really like the color. There are other color options like black, blue, green and grey but I really like the bright red. Features: The fleece jacket features polyester on the outside with fleece lining on the inside. It offers no waterproofing so it&#8217;s meant for being under a jacket or in warmer spring conditions. It&#8217;s a pretty minimal design with zippered pockets, nothing on the inside of the jacket. On [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Intended Purpose: These women&#8217;s gloves are designed to be a pipe glove for spring conditions. But I disagree, they offer a warmer fit than I think pipe gloves should be. I consider them an all around glove that could be used on cold days and warmer days. Location: I&#8217;ve been wearing these gloves during the early season at Mammoth Mountain and on my Colorado and Utah trips. Conditions: I used these gloves on colder days and snowy days on the mountain (which have been few this year) and a couple warmer normal days on the mountain. Sizing: I have typical women&#8217;s hands.  I&#8217;m rocking the Fractures in the size large, they are a bit more material than I need so I&#8217;d probably go with the mediums next time. Color: I received these mittens in the torquoise colorway which has a mix of blues/green colors. It actually looks more green in person than the pictures show. I like that the gloves match the subtle green of my Oakley jacket. Features: The Fracture gloves feature a synthetic suede palm, pre-curved full finger grip, partially elasticized neoprene wrist and ladder stretch panels. The gloves are a screen printed 100% nylon with a 8,000mm/5,000gm [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Intended Purpose: The DC Amo Jacket is an insulated snowboard jacket with 5k/5k and critically taped seams.  It&#8217;s a great option for drier snowboard climates while still protecting you from wind and snow conditions. Fit: The DC Amo comes in standard fit which I thought still offered a baggy loose fitting fit to the jacket.  It was definitely a box fitting kind of shape but I liked that it fit my hips and curves. Appearance: I liked the three colorway option that DC continues to use in this collection with the green, blue and grey.  I liked that it offered a bright colorway to match my 686 blue pants.  My only gripe with the jacket was it was a popular choice for many riders and very visible on the mountain so I ended up riding it less times than my other choices and most often on powder/snowy days on the mountain.  I mostly wore the jacket with my blue pants which were a good match but I also had no problems wearing it with black pants as well. Features:   The Amo jacket is stacked with features so it makes a good bang for the buck jacket.  It has 5k [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Intended Purpose: Women&#8217;s glove designed for cold weather days and guaranteed to keep you dry with Gore-Tex. Location: I wore these gloves at the SIA On-Snow in Winter Park and throughout most of the winter at Mammoth and June Mountain. Conditions: I used these gloves in very cold temperature days (-20 in Winter Park) and anytime it was snowing at Mammoth or June Mountain. They are meant for cold winter days so I wore them in those conditions. Sizing: I have typical women&#8217;s hands.  I&#8217;m rocking the Verlot&#8217;s in the women&#8217;s medium size. The fit is ideal, the finger length is perfect and the gloves are snug on my hands. Color: I received these gloves in the tan color choice which is really just white and black with the majority of the glove being white. I like the look and design of them, the palm is completely black and there&#8217;s a mix of black/white design on the top of the glove. Features: The Verlot GTX gloves are a waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex glove with the guaranteed to keep you dry promise. The shell and palm is a premium goatskin leather which is really smooth and comfortble to wear. The closure [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Intended Purpose: The Smarty Original Cargo snowboard pant started it all with the smarty series.  Highly waterproof and breathable with a ton of pockets to store everything you need on the mountain. Fit: The original cargo pants have the baggy fit to them in usual 686 standard sizing.  Baggier all around feel and super comfortable if you like baggy. Appearance: I really liked the bright cayan colorway on the original cargo pants and figured the bright look would go great with the darker plexus sonar softshell jacket I have.  I have noticed with the amount of sunny days in CA that the lower portion of the pants have faded a touch versus the pant portion that&#8217;s hidden underneath my jacket.  The inner pants can be used as pajama pants which helps when you forget yours or don&#8217;t expect to crash somewhere and have pajamas.  In terms of material, the pants are nylon solid oxford so not a slick material like my last smarty pants and they work just fine for the snow conditions. Features: The smarty original cargo pants features 15,000mm waterproofing and 10,000mm breathability which worked great for Mammoth conditions this year.  I wondered how the waterproofing would hold [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Intended Purpose: The 686 Plexus collection is all about the minimalist, lightweight, shell jackets that go above your standard shell jackets.  The Sonar softshell jacket continues with the minimalist features in a shell jacket but also offers 15,000k waterproofing and 10,000gm breathability. Fit: The 686 Sonar continues with the 686 fit so it will run baggy on you.  I like the fit of the 686 softshell jackets because they run baggier, longer and still fit in the arm length for me.  I enjoy wearing men&#8217;s jackets because I never have to worry about snow getting down my ass when I bend over and they have the length I want.  The fit isn&#8217;t always there but I like how the sonar jacket fits me personally. Appearance: I took a risk when I picked the sonar jacket in herringbone because it&#8217;s the second time I&#8217;ve used herringbone in a jacket and it definitely will attract snow on the mountain.  But the style and fabric I really like.  People notice the fabric and always comment on it.  The sonar up close is striped but from a distance it looks like a solid color.  The color says it&#8217;s black herringbone but there are many [&#8230;]]]></description>
