Tenson, an outerwear company based in Sweden, has an interesting proposition for mediocre skiers around the world. Mandel Media photo.
KEY QUALIFICATIONS:
- Knowing how to make a decent snowplow turn
- Being an expert at falling in the lift line and/or in the lift and on the slope
- In the snow park, your only trick is an unintentional "eagle"
- You should have no idea what "pow", "ripper", "glades", or "poaching" means
- Every time you rent ski boots you tend to change them 2-3 times claiming there must be something wrong with them (since your feet hurt so bad)
Gear testing is an essential part of the R&D process for all outerwear companies. However, the needs of the average skier are often overlooked in this process - unsurprising considering that the vast majority of gear testers are professional athletes. It seems obvious that companies should assess the wants and needs of the portion of their user-base which actually pays for the gear, but it's unclear how much that actually happens. Rarely do technical outerwear companies talk about how much Jerry "Yard Sale in the Lift Line" Smith likes their new jacket. Instead, they share testimonials from athletes climbing Everest or sending triple-digit-sized cliffs.

Tenson, the Swedish outerwear company, is bucking that trend. In their own words, they are looking for intel on how their gear can hold up against "a 50 meter long tumble against an icy slope, going all in (and beyond) on the after-ski party and getting caught in the t-bar ski lift."

Their presence is interwoven into who we are and the fabric of the films we make. We owe so much to their anthems, which is why we’ve been working on
“Ocean Space Habitat” Will Let You Camp Underwater
“Ocean Space Habitat” Will Let You Camp Underwater
Initially conceived as a kind of "base camp" for SCUBA divers, the Ocean Space Habitat is being touted as ushering in a new era of underwater exploration. While underwater habitats aren't a new concept (see NOAA's Aquarius), the degree of flexibility afforded by the Ocean Space Habitat promises to allow broader usage and new applications. How does it actually work, though? Essentially, the structure is packable, allowing divers to bring it to their desired underwater location, inflate

Blizzard's Black Pearl has been the overall best-selling ski in the U.S. for the past four years. Blizzard/Tecnica photo. Have you ever walked into a ski shop and been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of esoteric lingo and a testosterone-fueled, aggressive approach to skiing? "Do you want boots with IRFRAN/fiber or boots with GRILAMID/carbon? See that picture of Jamie Pierre hucking a 250 foot cliff? With the right gear and enough Red Bull you can be just like him!"
