    Hate that site so much. Can't use it on an iPad, can't search it, have to register to even browse. Very irritating but will look later.

    Anyone know where I can get a backpack (2013) that is no longer made by manufacturer. Dakine changed the design for 2014 and I don't like it. Not a fashion thing. They integrated ABS into it instead of it being optional. Found it for sale on one site in US but they won't ship abroad.

    That promo code has expired now! I got a cool ski jacket for €88 - the exact same one is selling for €199 on Amazon! Happy days :D

    Also looking at getting myself these http://www.absolute-snow.co.uk/V/Flow_NX2_SE_Snowboard_Bindings_XL_Black_2014-%2858638%29 the reviews are mostly positive but there are a few complaints about he toe strap not behaving. Have you had any experience with them?

    Ah so you didn't buy the flows yet. Did you get to try them on somewhere? That toe strap does look problematic. It doesn't look like it will grip enough of the lower toe if that makes sense.

    Just watched the video on them. It looks like you can't adjust the highback angle. Is that right? The highback should be inline with the edge of the board.

    I do like the colour. :)

    No haven't tried them on anywhere. The toe strap could ben an issue, but some people say the bindings are great, so it may be down to the type of boot worn. Just looking at the photos, the green bindings seem to have different toe straps to the black ones, the black ones seem bigger.

    I think there is a dial on the highback, but thanks for pointing it out will look into it. I'd be getting the black ones, not the florescent green!

    [Edit]

    ****e! The extra large has just sold out!

    I'm afraid it's the Altitude ABS 25l.

    This year it's a called the Signal but has the ABS integrated.
    I prefer the option to remove it as most places I visit don't require it and I couldn't use the pack here.

    Nice!

    Do you have the ability to get prior season Salomon gear?

    I picked up a foresight 3L jacket last week and I'm now thinking I should get the matching pants to go with it, but struggling to find them.
