What was or is your all time favourite piece of gear?

It can be boots, skis, a board, a jacket, gloves, walkie talkies, anything really...

My favourite was my Oakley Eye Jackets. They were just the best sunnies I've ever had - never fogged up, fitted my face perfectly, never fell off (even when I met a tree at pace), and they looked really cool. Unfortunately they were stolen by some swine in Australia.

I would have to say my Spyder pants. They are just so comfortable and light.

I've always been pleased with my StreetRacer 10's. First pair of skis I bought and kept just for snow. I couldn't bring myself to try them out on the dryslope.

It's a bit sad but I'm also quite keen on my Swix Voyager poles at the moment. Really like the grip and the decals.

My Arc'Teryx Sidewinder jacket. Price is a killer, but they do think of everything. :)

I love my Cross jacket because its really comfortable but also looks mega. I had it last season, but I notice that a lot of jackets this season seem to be similarly styled with these stand out zips.

I am also very fond of my Atomic B Tech SX boots, as I have skiid some much better since buying my own. AND they have Thermic heater packs to keep them warm and dry. Nice touch.

Pair of gloves I bought about five years ago for a fiver I've no idea what the make is as there's no labels or logo's but they have been class, never made my hands sweat so the linings follow your fingers out and have worked down to -26c

On there last legs now but can't part with them, I'd love to stumble across more pairs I'd buy the lot 8)
