Works as advertised - It is a very snug & forceful fit if you actually want to put a regular sized nalgene in it. I don't notice any bottle bounce with a typical insulated 21oz bottle.

I've skied in these boots ~8 times so far this season, fortunate that they fit my feet quite well and haven't really had any "break-in" process. Coming from the Hoji Free 130's, these boots walk significantly better (unsurprisingly). The floating tongue and closure method are easy to get along with and the boot does feel significant enough for driving a 104 underfoot, ~1700g ski. I've skied mostly soft conditions with these, looking forward to seeing how they handle the Spring. They weigh in around 3000g...

I've used this jacket throughout last spring and this winter. I've been really happy with the wind blocking benefit you get from the Goretex Infinium on the chest/arms and the generous pit zips.

The entire back is dynastretch, which allows better breathability while wearing a pack. Definitely my favorite hybrid touring shell at a solid price when on sale. The only downsides are tha...

I've skied these around 5-10 times in powder conditions and have come away not loving them. They seem to have a counterintuitive mix of properties that make them not my first choice for powder.

I found it really hard to find the sweet spot when making turns in deeper powder - I often either overpowered the tips w/ sinking/hooking or felt myself getting out of control on the stiff tails. Perhaps these just don't ...

Disclaimer: I have the "Moment Voyager" branded version of these - the only difference is the ramp delta out of the box is +7mm and they come with the free-ride spacers. I've used the non-EVO version of the freeraiders for the past few seasons. Upgraded to these ones to test out the auto-locking brakes. I think the feature does add value/ease to the binding, but it's not a huge change. Does make it slightly easier to transition while keeping the skis on - spinning the tower vs pushing a "button".
