Magicycle has just raised the bar with the Ocelot Pro— an impressive upgrade to their original electric fat bike with 20×4” tires. Designed for riders who want to go the distance, this new model boasts long-range stats that beat out the standard Ocelot as well as the Magicycle Cruiser which we reviewed this fall. We […]
Let’s start with some real talk: RIDE’s A-8 Bindings are the result of 30 years of making real gear for real shredders. This is a binding that’s adaptable to any condition, delivering premium performance at the bottom of the premium binding pricelist. I mean, this is a foot locker every bit deserved of its gold […]
Since moving to the Tetons last winter, I’ve been on the hunt for a durable ski jacket to accompany me on blustery ski tours – especially when temperatures drop into the single-digits. The Women’s Boundary Ridge GORE-TEX Jacket lives up the hype when it comes to its protective abilities and lightweight fit. This jacket was […]
Snow is falling, Christmas tunes are playing, it’s that time of year again. The time to pay a visit to your old winter clothes. If you’re anything like me, when you pulled out your ski jacket this season it was in worse shape than you remembered. I opted to give the Eddie Bauer BC Freshline […]

If you ever had some twisted tryptophan-fueled dream where a swaggy pant marries an indomitable bib, Flylow’s Baker Bib would be the child of that union. As the legend goes, their name comes from a Frenchwoman describing how the founders skied more like they were flying low than carving snow, with all the style, grace, […]
3-in-1 layering systems in winter gear have been around since the 90’s, yet 686 has found a way to make theirs simultaneously stylish, comfortable, and functional. In particular, the 686 Smarty Cargo Pant has deliberate features that make it a catch 22 for resort gear. Imagine the benefits of six, deep pockets to hold goodies […]
