The light weight, versatility, and great fit of the First Ascent Heyburn 2.0 make it a solid choice for any day on or off the hill.

The Arc’teryx Micon pant has a perfect freeride cut, offers complete waterproof protection, and is at home in a ridiculously broad range of temperatures.
Smith I/OS Goggle
Built for smaller faces, the Smith I/OS goggle still offers impressive peripheral vision, plus an easy-to-change lens system similar to the larger Smith I/O.
Smith Maze Helmet
Said by Smith to be the lightest certified snow helmet, The Maze is super sleek, versatile, and comfortable, but it isn’t heavy on features.
Giro Basis Goggle
Despite all the abuse our reviewer could dish out, the Giro Basis continued to offer clear, crisp vision.

The warmth of a down jacket without the bulk, the First Ascent Igniter is a go-to jacket for just about any outdoor activity.

The North Face Enzo Jacket
The North Face Enzo shell shows that TNF still knows how to do top shelf, technical outerwear.
TREW Bellows jacket & Trewth bibs
Fact: TREW has thrown down the gauntlet for quality and durability. All that’s left for you to decide is whether they’ve got the steeze dialed.
Smith Variant Brim Helmet
The Smith Variant Brim is very good, not quite perfect. You’ll have to decide for yourself how minor or major those shortcomings are.
