I had the opportunity to review the Helly Hansen ULLR Freeride Jacket this winter and have become a believer in their products. I know HH is loved and worn by my local resort, Brighton so I was excited to jump in and test it out. Testing HELLY TECH vs GORE-TEX I have been riding this […]
Living in the mountains means your gear has gotta pull its weight. I’m out here shredding, playing polo, hunting, basically living the western dream – or maybe just my version of it. And while I’ve got plenty of functional stuff, finding a jacket that truly nails that authentic Western style while still looking sharp enough […]

BCA’s Scepter 3S is a strong collapsing pole, with a handle that was actually made specifically for touring. Every time I took it out I fell in love a bit more, especially when I flipped it up to get my risers dialed or hook in my tech toe-piece. Backcountry Access Scepter 3S: Made to Support […]
