    Individual Review Zeal Portal XL goggle

    As a returning skier after several years off, my last pair of goggles before returning probably came off the "no one else will wear these because they're really bad" rack. Last year I had the opportunity to use the Atomic Revent L FDL HD OTG goggles and was introduced to high quality lenses and...

    Individual Review Atomic Revent L FDL HD OTG goggles

    Eyeglasses. They’re the bane and savior of many people, including a large number of skiers. The saving grace of glasses is the ability to see. The bane is trying to find a goggle that fits over them without squashing the earpieces into the side of your head. Many companies offer OTG (Over the...

    Shoulder Protection/Gear Recommendation

    On March 30th, I got wrecked by an out-of-control snowboarder who hit me from behind. I was on skis going about 15MPH. The witnesses who saw it said he was doing about 45MPH when he crashed into my right hip. The impact sent me 10 feet high in the air, spinning like a bowling pin, and I...

    The POC Tarsus ski boot

    A design that never made it to market... From YankoDesigns Why do ski boots have to hurt? Shouldn’t skiers enjoy the same comfort as snowboarders do? The right design can make it easier to release pressure from the buckles when needed without having to undo the bottom of your pants. The POC...

    Helmet audio options

    I'm thinking of getting audio so my son and I can easily communicate on the mountain without having to deal with pulling a phone out. I see that Outdoor Tech Audio Chips 2 seems to be mentioned a lot but from the reviews I've read they have have issues with maintaining a connection. Anyone...

    Zeiss Lens Technology

    Every year it seems that goggle manufacturers are touting Zeiss lens technology in a variety of their goggles. I've seen some really nice lenses in Zeal, POC, and Giro, bringing some great improvements to vision. The lens in the Fovea Goggle in my profile picture is Zeiss. :ogcool So here's a...

    Helmet thread

    .....because no respectable ski site can operate without one, lol. I don't wear a helmet, or even goggles at times. I like beanies and sunglasses when the conditions allow it. That being said, my son questions why I don't wear one, yet he has to. So I think I'm ready to give a helmet an...

    The weight of a helmet

    A customer was looking at the MIPS options of helmets in our store a few days ago and noticed a fairly big difference between two different helmet weights when holding one in each hand. Does weight matter to you?
