Best product a company makes?

This is a blatant rip off from TGR, deal with it. If you could pick out one product that's just the absolute best from each manufacturer, what would it be? For real ski nerds, what year was that model the best? Prepare to defend your choices, I'm sure this will get heated.

2009-2010 Armada JJ's. Amazing and they don't really change the ski's design so that alone says its good.

Look pivot p15, love the din range in these, perfect for my size/weight, are all metal, and just work well.

Clearly the 191 BG.

But I'm pretty sure if you brought back the original Wren I would pick one up.

The rossignol fks 155 has the more reasonable 6-15 din range with the burly metal race toe of the 18. The smith I/O has a medium fit to fit the widest variety of faces, while the no frame increases peripheral vision and makes switching lenses super easy. They also come with a hard case.

First Drop Balaclava. It has a long neck which was the selling point for me. It is also super comfy and perfect for the warmer weather that I ride in.

surprised no one has said the original Line SKi boards or the original Salomon 1080. Without those products skiing would be very different.

the armada rampage fleece sweatshirt. Never wear a jacket again. It's waterproof, wind resistant, and warm yet breatheable. I this years in black and yellow.

Probably a size preference. The splice fits some peoples face more comfortably then the crowbars.

Well seeing as how they're all the same, with the exception of the wide last models, it's purely based on graphic and flex. I like the stiffer flexing tongues, so I guess I would say the old seth morrisons and first chairs. I have the original wallisches with black flex 8 or 10 tongues and no cable cover, and I like the way those look too.
