Duds Sure to Go Off
A few of our Ski Techs scoured Tramdock to come up with their apparel wish lists for this season. Since these folks work to support their ski habit, we figured they'd know a thing or two about the hot new products. You're going to dig these goods.Big Mountain Skier Anthony Clark
|
Arc'teryx Bird Head Toque (Beanie)"Good warm stretchy fit because nobody likes a guy with a big-head." |
|
Arc'teryx Scorpion Ski Jacket"This nice and lightweight, waterproof breathable jacket is comfortable enough to wear on the hike up and the ski down. Gotta love the plush, super thin fleece lining." |
||
Burton AK Tech Glove"Not only do they look good, but they're functional too. A lightweight glove like this is all you need in the backcountry." |
||
Arc'teryx Scorpion Ski Pant"These are the perfect pant, gives you a little more room than most Arc'teryx pants. It's a waterproof breathable pant that wicks moisture like a champ and looks really good - because we all know that matters." |
Other item not pictured:
Arc'teryx Epsilon SV Jacket"Great breathability for those days when you are heading out for a long tour with a long ski out." |
Park and Pipe Skier Rich Fahey
Giro Encore Helmet"I like the Giro Encore because it has plenty of vents, so when you're hiking or if it's just a really warm day, you don't get overheated." |
|
Spy David Crichton Blizzard Signature Goggle"The gold mirror lenses eliminate glare, letting you see no matter how bright it gets." |
Oakley Axis Jacket |
DAKINE Cobra GT Glove"These gloves are really warm, but aren't too bulky like other gloves of the same quality." |
|
Oakley Axis Pant"This pant/jacket combo is great. Whether you're shredding lines in the backcountry or hiking in the park, the Axis Jacket and Pants will kill it. They have nicely situated vents to open when you need a cool down, and a 15K waterproof rating to keep you dry in the wettest of conditions." |
Other items not pictured: Patagonia Capilene 2 Crew"It's great because it's lightweight and fast drying. It fits nicely under a jacket, and doesn't constrict you."DC Saber Sweatshirt"A stylish piece of clothing on or off the hill." |
Park and Pipe Skier Ali Thackery
Ambler Peace Beanie"Simple style with a fleece lining." |
|
Smith Phenom Spherical Goggles"These have the best fit. Great for small, medium, and large faces. They're super comfortable, and come with lots of lens options and fit perfectly with Smith's new helmets." |
Helly Hansen Mash Jacket"It has the necessary pitzips and tech features, and comes in a stellar Aquarius color. Stylie, but functional." |
||
DAKINE Electra Gloves"When the sun breaks through the clouds and it warms up, it's nice to have a glove that won't make your hands sweat to death. These breathe really well...and I admit I like the pink accents." |
||
Orage Kameryn Pant"Thigh vents are key when hiking the park or Brighton backcountry and finally, a ski-specific company making a women's pant!" |
Other items not pictured: Icebreaker Superfine Mako Long-Sleeve TopIcebreaker Legless Pant"Merino wool is the only way to go when getting base layers! No more stink so you can hang out after and not worry if others notice your stench. The Legless pant is awesome so you don't have a jumble of layers in your ski boot."The North Face Redpoint Vest"This vest is super warm with a low profile." |
