or aka ferric oxide. I coat everything metal with some WD-40...its an anti rust oil. Works ok, but you have to re-apply. I use it on my crampons, metal buckles, skis, the latch on my trunk, top of my table saw, my bike chain etc etc....and of course snowshoes. I have the Denali Asscents. No...

long leg AMR- I'm 6'5" about 180lbs. I use LL Bean for all my outside stuff...they sell tall clothing which had been a lifesaver. I have a 35-36" inseam (34-35 waist). I found an awesome pair of Columbia Titanium ski pants that are long(er) than their usual pants. I love them as they are...

Ua I have the UA pants and love them. I use a Nike Dri-fit shirt which is the same thing as Under Armour and I must say that there are better fabrics for wicking moisture. I have three shirts and wear one of them almost everyday, the are ideal for wearing under your hockey stuff for you...
