How true is this? can this problem be avoided? i like the brim look but its a pain if i can&#39;t put my goggles up.<br /><br />also, how would these fit with dragon maces? question_140932 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:38:51 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Smith-Maze-Helmet/SMI0646M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_140922#question_140922 Smith Maze Helmet<br /><br />Does anyone know how this helmet fits with Oakley Splices or Crowbars?

Comfy fit, cool color.<br /><br />Is there a recommended spherical goggle that provides a solid, airtight fit with this helmet? My Bolle goggles don&#39;t hold a tight fit to my face.<br /><br />Looking for a recommendation on a quality goggle (pref. rose/vermillion lens) that will work well with the G10.

Is it worth it to have these or am I good without them? Remember this is snowboarding, not skiing, though I don&#39;t know if that makes a diff, I&#39;m still new to this. question_140377 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:56:50 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Ortovox-240cm-Economic-Probe/ORT0054M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_140324#question_140324 Ortovox 240cm Economic Probe<br /><br />What length probe do I want?

Do you find the first then turn it off and back on to find the second and so forth? I know it has an indicator for multiple burials but how does it direct you to each one? Any thoughts on the new S1 vs D3 - or even the BCA tracker DTS? Does the S1 have a 5 year warranty too? question_140087 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:27:57 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/MSR-Denali-Snowshoe-Flotation-Tails/CAS0116M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_140076#question_140076 MSR Denali Snowshoe Flotation Tails<br /><br />How much do these tails weigh? question_140076 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:49:26 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/MSR-Denali-Evo-Ascent-Snowshoe/CAS0232M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139985#question_139985 MSR Denali Evo Ascent Snowshoe<br /><br />what does this product do question_139985 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:54:46 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Smith-Hustle-Skullcandy-Audio-Helmet/SMI0489M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139976#question_139976 Smith Hustle Skullcandy Audio Helmet<br /><br />Has anyone tried using a 2.55mm to 3.55mm adapter to make the phone function work with the iphone? question_139976 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:43:22 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/BLD0457/Black-Diamond-Ascension-Nylon-STS-Skins.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139950#question_139950 Black Diamond Ascension Nylon STS Skins<br /><br />whats the difference between these and a clip fix skin?<br />thanks question_139950 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:28:03 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/VholdR-ContourHD-Wearable-Camcorder/VHR0001M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_139947#question_139947 VholdR ContourHD Wearable Camcorder<br /><br />I read reviews that the contourhd lackes depth perception on snow, has vholdr addressed this? question_139947 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:23:06 GMT
