Arc’teryx Rush LT Pant

Blister Outdoor Gear review Crested Butte

2019-2020 Argent Badger

Stiff flex, heavy weight, and a full layer of steel (that’s right, *steel*) in its core. The Argent Badger is not your typical ski, and we haven’t even mentioned some of the other surprises. Check out our measured specs, rocker pics, and initial impressions of the Badger.
