The first thing you notice about the G3 Splitboard + Glide Climbing Skins is how awesome the asymmetrical tip/nose clip is, it perfectly attaches to the tip of your splitboard therefore lining up the rest of the climbing skin without that pesky wrinkle so common in the older splitboard skins.

After trying on numerous pairs of bibs from other manufacturers, the Saga Anomie Bibs fit me just about perfectly. The best part of the fit is they have all the pros of a bib such as suspenders and a high waist to keep snow out but are very minimalist on the top end. Saga Anomie […]
I am a grimy man. In the course of my work as a custodian and tail-guide at Valhalla Mountain Touring, one of my main objectives is to not require multiple costume changes daily and to make a fairly seamless transition from scrubbing toilet bowls in the a.m hours to shredding Ruby Bowl before noon.

Trying out the Giro Emerge MIPS Helmet, I was a little skeptical – it looked bulbous but stripped down.

You can’t go out on the hill these days without seeing every other snowslider wearing a pair of SHRED Simplify Goggles. They’re more popular than Lamar Jackson at an NFL jersey exchange. But it makes sense; the SHREDOptics Simplify is the best vision enhancers on the hill. For width of vision and breadth of light […]
The Dakine Gearhart Jacket answers the question: Is it possible to have a jacket that’s bomber waterproof AND stretchy? I’ve had plenty of GORE-TEX jackets that felt like plastic bottles wrapped over my shoulders. And softshells are great but on a heavy precip day, they get soaked quicker than a fat dude on Ninja Warrior. […]
