Rab Sharp Edge Jacket and Pants

by
There aren't many kits out there designed specifically for ski mountaineering, but Rab's Sharp Edge Jacket and Pants are.

Arc’teryx Rush LT Pant

You know what you shouldn’t be thinking about when you’re skiing? Your pants. The new Arc’teryx Rush LT pants are easy to forget about, and we think they’re a great option for many backcountry and resort skiers and snowboarders.

Eddie Bauer BC EverTherm Down Jacket

Spy Ace EC Goggle

by
Spy’s new Ace EC goggle uses a single electrochromic lens that lets you change the tint with a touch of a button. Yep, one lens for everything. So, how does it actually work in reality, and are there any downsides? Check out our review.

Strafe Alpha Direct Insulator

by
There are lots of specialized layers out there, but not many that work well for a wide range of conditions, temperatures, and activities. The Strafe Alpha Direct Insulator is one of the few that falls into that versatile second category, and here you can check out our full review.

Jaden Anderson reviews The North Face Flight RKT Jacket for Blister

The North Face Flight RKT Jacket

by
The North Face Flight RKT jacket is one of the lightest wind shells we’ve ever reviewed. But what’s the cost of that low weight, and is it strictly a running piece, or could you also use it for activities like biking and hiking?

Patagonia Micro Puff Hoody

by
We’ve now used the Patagonia Micro Puff Hoody for around 125 days, and we’re still huge fans of this jacket (which is why it received a “Best Of” award in our 18/19 Winter Buyer’s Guide). Check out our updated review.
