Oakley Airbrake Snow Goggle
The most difficult conditions to ski in are not due to poor snow conditions, but poor light conditions. The Oakley Airbrake is highly recommended for anyone looking for easy lens-changing ability and outstanding optics.
Norrona Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro Jacket
The Norrøna Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro Jacket was designed with “loaded minimalism” in mind, an oxymoron that's actually pretty apt.
First Ascent Heyburn 2.0 Pants
Generally speaking, the First Ascent Heyburn 2.0 Pants are breathable, warm, stylish, and comfortable. But where do they fall short, and where do they excel?
POC Nail Glove
POC isn't trying to reinvent the wheel with the Nail glove, but what's interesting is how well they've executed the details.
Smith I/OX Goggle
According to Smith Optics, "In the game of Global Thermonuclear War, the I/OX isn't playing around." Confused? It's OK, we're here to help.
Volkl Nanga Pants
The Volkl Nanga is an extremely comfortable pant with a clean, sleek design that will keep you warm on even the coldest days.
Eider Niseko Jacket
If you're going to test the Niseko jacket from Eider, you might as well test it in the place it was named after. And throughout a huge storm cycle in Japan, the Niseko Jacket proved to be an incredibly well-thought out and well-constructed jacket, ideal for cold temps and seriously deep days.
Giro Manifest Goggle
The Giro Manifest goggle offers a comfortable and sturdy fit with otherwise good vision, but lens durability was questionable.

The Coreupt Steep Ride jacket is a fully waterproof & breathable shell that offers a ton of performance for the price.

Arc’teryx Micon pant
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.
