Leo was so helpful!
I have been wanting new skis for this season but felt overwhelmed with options and what was right for me. A friend told me about Curated and I started chatting with Leo. He is so knowledgeable and really made me feel confident in my purchase. He was very responsive and explained why my skis would be great for me and my goals. Can't recommend Curated enough!

As an experienced skier and gear enthusiast, I found my way to Curated thinking I already had a good idea of what I wanted, Leo showed me some fantastic options that I had not explored. He was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with, I will be back for more advice in the future.

Keaton's experience with Leo
Leo was an all around great guy. He listened to what I needed for the mountains I wished to tackle and wasn't trying to up sell me. I'm a gun/ water sports guy thats my industry, I don't really have a lot of experience in the winter skiing industry to know what I really needed. He explained that really the boots are the key part that everything else is built around. It was nice to have the support that wasn't going to push and rush anything. Even going to help get my boots fitted the correct way. I will for sure send anybody that needs help his way.

Ethan's experience with Leo
My experience with Leo stood out compared to other gear recommendations I had received online. Leo was thorough and took time to understand what I was looking for in my gear, leaving me confident in my decision. Other recommendations online felt very generic and rushed, however Leo made sure to answer all questions with a detailed answer and quality advice.

Leo was fantastic!
Leo curated the appropriate gear for my needs. He provided 2-4 options of skis, boots, bindings, and poles, which allowed me to choose. He was knowledgeable in comparisons and answering my many questions. He made purchasing gear easy, no pressure, and stress free, which buying the right gear for the right price usually is overwhelming for me. Curated was affordable and better priced then other online competitors, I like the return policy, and Leo's willingness to work with me throughout the process to ensure the best set up of gear. I would definitely recommend Leo and curated! I can't wait for some pow to test out the gear.

Super helpful!
I knew I wanted skiing gear for the season, but didn’t know anything about the ski gear. Leo walked me through some great options and explained the differences. I really appreciate that he found sales items. On an aesthetic level he made sure things looked like they went together instead of just a random assortment of colors.

Incredibly Helpful
I love to ski but know little about gear. Leo provided me with the best set up based on needs and worked with me to find the best solution for my all mountain wishes. He was helpful, kind and informative. Thanks for the guidance, Leo! I am stoked to ride the new set up!

Leo is the man!
Leo listened to all of my concerns, worked to understand my personal style, and had the patience to compare multiple set ups for me. He took the time to explain the pros and cons of each ski and made sure I felt good about my purchase. Unfortuantely, it costs money to ski (a lot of money) but after 10 years of skiing the same twigs, I'm beyond stoked about my new set!

Brian's experience with Leo
Leo was a great help from the moment I clicked into the Curated site! He knew all the right questions to ask to put together a list of great potential skis, boots and bindings. He even created a custom video about the gear. I took a couple of weeks to mull things over, but he was patient and without being pushy let me know every couple of days that he was still there to help. Now that I've made the purchase, I look forward to our video call where he'll help me dial in the fit on my new boots
