I bought this wax for my board and found it to be very good for all temperatures that I have tried so far. It seems to be especially good in warm weather. In fact I had a hard time stopping and spinning when coming into the lift line. People standing in line were not amused, but it confirmed that the wax was effective. It is pretty much a typical wax but a huge step above what I would get from snowboard shop tune ups.
Pros Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use

Hot waxing is easy, just iron in the Swix F4 180g Fluorinated Wax, scrape, and then brush and you're ready to make turns in any conditions whether you're going alpine, freeride, or nordic.

I bought this wax to use on my snowboard and I have found it to be extremely good in both warm and cold weather. I had the priveledge to board in both warm and cold weather in the same week and in either condition, the wax was very slippery. In warm weather it was almost too slippery and I am sure the people I ran into in the lift lines were not too pleased because I was unable to stop. The wax melts easily and spreads evenly. Huge step up from the cheap wax that the board shops have used on my board.
Pros Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value

I bought these bindings on a recommendation from my friends. They are of a medium flex and match up with my board to my preference, not too soft and not too stiff. I love the simplicity and the fact that I don't have to fuss with them too much. I like the how they respond but they are not too responsive for easier rail riding, but they are there when I need them bombing down the hill at mach speeds. The only cons I have found are that the straps seem to get in the way when I step in.
Pros Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Cons: straos get in the way

I recently got this board and I love it. I love the C2 BTX, it is the best of 2 worlds of camber and reverse camber into one. It still has the pop of a cambered board with the buttery feel of the reverse camber. In general this board is a bit heavier than other boards but it is build like a tank. Althought, the top sheet chips pretty easily but this is only superficial. I love the magne traction which cuts ice through ice like nothing else and is great for the East coast. Like I said, the reverse camber lets the board be pressed easily but the pop is not sacrificed with the new c2 btx technology.
Pros Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use
Cons: chips easily

As a deputy of denim you need a jacket that will perform in all conditions and situations, that is where the Burton Men's Commisary Denim Jacket comes in handy. This incredibly stylish Performance shell is constructed with 3L GORE-TEX and fully taped with Gore-Seam tape to maximize waterproofing and increase your chances of seeing a full grown Moose in the wild.

I bought this jacket since the new trends seems to be jean wear for snow wear. I loved how it looked and it seemed to keep me warm. The only drawbacks that I found were that the dye bled all over my pants and the overall durability. I typically walk with my snowboard at my side. The problem is that when I walk like that the edge would scrape the side of my jacket and it eventually wore down the jeans material on the side. I sent it back to Burton, but they told me it was normal wear and tear. Now I have had a few jackets and never has this happened.
Pros Performance, Ease of use
Cons: Wears quickly, Bad design
