Sam Shaheen reviews the Patagonia R1 TechFace Pullover for Blister

Patagonia R1 TechFace Pullover

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.
Sam Shaheen and Jonathan Ellsworth review the Folsom Spar 88 for Blister

2021-2022 Folsom Spar 88

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.
Luke Koppa and Sam Shaheen review the Smith 4D Mag Goggle for Blister

Smith 4D Mag Goggle

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.

Kristin Sinnott reviews the Flylow Vixen Coat 2.1 for Blister

Flylow Vixen Coat 2.1

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.
Andrew Forward reviews the Jones Ultra Mountain Twin for Blister

2019-2020 Jones Ultra Mountain Twin

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.
