Last year Patagonia released what quickly became one of our favorite layers for high-output activities in the mountains — the R1 TechFace Hoody. This year, they released a more minimal Pullover version, and for some people, it could be even better than the original. Check out our review.
Building a narrower “all-mountain” ski that actually works well all around the mountain is trickier (or, at least rarer) than you might think. But the Folsom Spar 88 does, and you can now check out our full review.
Look good, ski good. The Holden M-51 Fishtail Jacket definitely brings a lot of style to the table, and it doesn’t skimp out on technical features, either. Check out our review.
The Nomad 105 has been Icelantic’s best-selling ski for years, and for 19/20, it’s getting tweaked. Check out our measured specs, rocker pics, and initial impressions.
Ski & snowboard goggles have undergone a lot of changes recently, but one thing that’s remained relatively unchanged is their lenses. For 19/20, Smith is changing that with their 4D Mag goggle, which features a unique extended lens to offer increased field of view. So is it just a gimmick, or a notable advancement? Check out our review.
With their revamped Ranger Ti series, Fischer is bucking the industry trend of lightening up inbounds skis, and is instead making them heavier. That’s pretty intriguing, and you can now check out our measured specs, rocker pics, and initial impressions of the new Ranger 99Ti.
Anoraks and technical fabrics don’t often get packaged together. But Norwegian brand, Amundsen, combined the two in their Peak Anorak, and the resulting jacket certainly stands out compared to the rest of the ski jackets on the market.
This season we built a custom ski with Romp, and you can now check out our full review for more info on the custom process, the resulting ski, and how well it lived up to our expectations.
K2 says they designed each of their new Mindbender skis with each ski’s particular end use in mind, and the widest ski of the bunch, the Mindbender 116C, certainly seems like good evidence of this. Check out our measured specs, rocker pics, and initial impressions.
You may have heard a thing or two about the Rossignol Soul 7. Time now to talk about the women’s Soul 7 HD W, and you can check out our measured specs, rocker pics, and initial impressions.
The Dynastar Legend X96 is low on weight, very stiff with respect to its flex pattern, and accessible in terms of its shape. Check out our full review to see the on-snow result of that combo.
Mammut recently updated their Barryvox avalanche beacons, and after using it for over a year, we think the new Barryvox S is an excellent option for both professional and recreational users alike. Check out our review.
DPS has been making pow skis since the brand was founded, but they’ve never made a ski like this. Check out our measured specs, rocker pics, and initial impressions of the new Koala 119.
Just a few years ago, almost all hardshell jackets were stiff, crinkly, and uncomfortable. But now many companies make waterproof hardshells that feel more like softshells. The Flylow Vixen Coat 2.1 falls into that category, and it’s an excellent all-round women’s ski shell.
We’ve now had several reviewers on Prior’s all-mountain / big-mountain charger, the Husume, and you can now check out our full review.
If you’re looking for a technical women’s ski shell that can be used in the backcountry and the resort, but that doesn’t look all that “techy,” the Strafe Meadow Jacket is worth a good look.
Last year Fischer surprised us with their Ranger 102 FR — a very strong, stable ski with just enough playfulness to set it apart from the competition. For 19/20, they’re making a narrower version, the Ranger 94 FR. Check out our measured specs, rocker pics, and initial impressions.
The Jones Ultra Mountain Twin takes a freestyle shape and combines it with their stiff, carbon-laden “Ultra” construction. The result? One of the better freestyle boards we’ve used for aggressive, hard-charging riders. Check out our full review.
Line completely redesigned the iconic Sir Francis Bacon for 19/20, and you might say that our managing editor is flipping out about the new ski. Check out our full review.
Mammut just released a new line of packs with a unique suspension system designed to move with you, rather than against you. So how does the Trion Spine compare to packs with similar designs, and where does this all-purpose alpine pack excel? Check out our full review.
