So I've been snowboarding for a while now and this season i want all new gear. I was looking into the 686 Smarty Uzi jacket or the Recon jacket but im torn. I was also looking into the Rome 390s for my bindings but im really not sure what bindings are best. Any opinions on the two 686 jackets or good bindings? oh and im going to go with the k2 WWW board but still not sure... Any info?

Ok, let's get you sorted out here first. For outerwear, 686 makes hot stuff. When you buy your outerwear, just make sure you like the fit, and that the rating is 10 000/10 000+.

As for your bindings, is it safe to assume that you're going to be freestyling with this? Freeriding? A bit of both? No one can really truely recommend something that will fit YOUR style of riding until you tell us.
