Plus, this onesie makes it okay to ski in your pajamas. The company (which is based in Steamboat Springs, Colorado), really hit it out of the base layer park with their Merino 250 Base Layer One Piece-a onesie (with an all-important drop seat) made from performance wool that wicks away sweat, is never itchy on skin, and is warmer than (much) thicker base layers that I’ve given a go in the past.

There are plenty of brands out there making heat-reflecting, battery-powered yada yada warming technology for base layers, but what I’ve found (and what plenty of professional guides and snow athletes whom I’ve talked to that agree with me) is that nothing beats good, old-fashioned wool. ( $17) Smartwool’s Merino 250 Base Layer One Piece Base layer Plus, using a Gogglesoc gives your expensive goggles a whole new life span-saving your high-tech lenses from scratches and dings when you have them in your backpack or in your car. The Canadian company has a serious commitment to sustainability (each Gogglesoc is made of 88% rPET, meaning it’s made of recycled plastic bottles). ( $200- $250)Īnd to protect your goggles, we couldn’t love Gogglesoc’s more. Plus, the lens is a whopping 2.8 mm thick, which was able to withstand (and not break) when shot with a. The Interstellar goggle fits perfectly into the “goggle garage” on the Switcher helmet to negate any chance of a gap. Plus, Sweet Protection has designed their lineup of goggles to work as a piece of additional protection equipment alongside your helmet (because when you fall, it’s only practical that your goggles should help protect your face and not hurt it, right?). Altogether, it combines to create a lens that allows you to see better than you could with your naked eye. This reduces eye fatigue, enhances contrast (so you don’t get caught off guard by a roller or undulation in the snow), and reduces distortion. But Sweet Protection has upped the ante with their proprietary RIG lens technology, which allows each of their lenses (from Light Amethyst for stormy days to the Obsidian lens for extra-bright sunny days) to remain pigment-neutral to your eye’s color detection. When you’re wearing goggles, the biggest concerns are normally that you’re wearing the right colored lenses for the weather and that you’re not getting fogged out and losing your vision. Sweet Protection’s Interstellar Goggles Goggles The helmet also features 22 vents that you can open or close with a simple sliding mechanism so you can regulate your temperature and stay comfortable whether you’re riding in a February storm or in the late-season spring sun. And those are just some of the safety features. The MIPS technology provides unparalleled brain protection in reducing rotational forces during angled collisions, and in-mold impact shields disperse force to protect the front and back of the head. That means that the Switcher MIPS helmet is tested for safety and quality in 4.5 times more places where you could hit your head when compared to other brands. Sweet Protection tests all of their helmets at 18 different impact points. But that standard only requires that helmets be tested at four major impact points. Sweet Protection’s Switcher MIPS HelmetĪll helmets that are sold at major retailers (such as REI and Backcountry) meet the most common U.S.-based standard for snow helmet certification, known as ASTM F2040. So we tested and found the best snow gear that you can invest in to look good and perform perfectly every time you hit the slopes for seasons to come-from bell-to-bell days at the resort, to a once-in-a-lifetime heli-skiing trip, to backcountry touring laps, and evenings enjoying the aprés lifestyle. Luckily, ski and snowboard kits are more technical, better designed, and more environmentally friendly than ever before. But nothing takes something as good as a day spent out on the slopes and turns it into a terrible experience faster than bad gear that leaves you cold, wet, and stuck in a pile of snow (speaking from personal experience here). and enjoyed days filled with good snow and good times.
During the 2018/2019 winter season, 58.3 million people visited ski areas in the U.S. And according to the National Ski Areas Association, lots of us are doing just that.
