We've already spilled quite a bit of ink on the DPS Wailer 99. But how well does it do telemark? Robin Abeles weighs in on the Wailer 99, in both its PURE and HYBRID constructions.
Unsurprisingly, the Cosmic jacket measures up to the burliness, versatility, and stylishness we've come to expect from Trew. So reviewer Julia Van Raalte talks instead about the functionality of specific features and how well the Cosmic works for women.
While reviewing the Intuition Dreamliner, John Gwynn makes a few vital mistakes and learns some important lessons about boot fitting. Considering your first after-market, custom boot liner? Read, learn, don't repeat.
For those of you who worried that a 182cm Belafonte sounded too short, but a 192cm Belafonte sounded like too much, well, we've got some very good news for you.

When Eric Hjorleifson comes out with a new pro model (especially a pro model that replaces the much loved 4FRNT EHP), it's time to pay attention. We've been running the new HOJI through the pillows and trees and pow of Niseko, and the ski is as dynamic and playful as the terrain around here.
The Black Diamond Element is proving in Niseko to be a fantastic pow ski that actually does very well in chopped up snow and crud - assuming you get the mount position right....
On paper, the Patagonia Nano Storm Jacket doesn't necessarily make a ton of sense, yet several of us at BLISTER love this multipurpose jacket. Jonathan Ellsworth explains.
