The premiss of avalanche safety is that you wok as a team, train, and have the right gear. This amazing new product defies all of these conventions.

I feel like I've been stuck in a cycle of buying cheap, disposable gloves the past couple of seasons. I try to ski 100 days every year and the cumulative wear from that builds pretty quickly, especially on a pair of gloves. My solution to this has been to buy cheap gloves knowing they'll probably wear out by the end of the season. Hestra, with its Henrik Windstedt Pro Glove, however, may have shattered this paradigm.

Of all the backcountry ski gear I own, this Pabst Blue Ribbon headband is perhaps the most important item in my backpack. I sweat a lot when I hike in the mountains and most of that sweat comes out of my face.

Targeted at skiers and snowboarders, the hybrid hiking boot-skate shoes are reminiscent of Nike Dunks crossed with something you might find on the rack at EMS or REI. In the end, it’s a pretty stylish offering that hits a niche footwear trend in the snowsports industry.

In a struggling economy we find ourselves trying to look as stylish and as core as possible without breaking the bank, and a fresh pair of Cassette Sunglasses are the perfect affordable accessory to turn heads without going broke.

The jeans look cool, have a dark wash, are really lightweight and have a very comfortable relaxed fit.

As a working snow professional, I use my probe daily for probing out snowpit locations, measuring snow layers depths, and accessing snow bridges.

Sometimes on extra cold days your regular base layer pants just aren’t enough and that’s where these guys come in.
