2011 Fall Gear
Ahhh autumn. When the weather is a mix of warm temps lingering from summer and chillier temps waiting around the corner in winter. To help you stay outdoors and active through this transitional season, we pulled together great reflective wear to keep you visible when the daylight gets shorter, sporty sunglasses to protect your peeps in different light conditions, and fun insulated vests to give you that extra bit of warmth when you need it.
Powdersmoke Jacket
In search of a comfy, cozy coat for the slopes as well as a stylin’ piece for après ski? The Powdersmoke from Powderhorn outerwear is a great option.
Freewaters Furry Footwear
Just in time for fall, Freewaters footwear has launched their cozy, comfy line of House Shoes.
Twisted Bindings
I tried boarding and gave it up all in the same season. My knees couldn’t handle it. But maybe my experience would have been different if Twisted Bindings had been an option. The rotating binding mount allows a boarder to rotate her front foot to an angle parallel to her board for easy, comfy maneuverability on catwalks and in lift lines.
Gear: Snowshoes and Layering Systems
There’s no better—or easier—way to explore the snowy landscape in winter than on snowshoes. It doesn’t require much gear; basically warm layers of clothing, sturdy footwear, a pair of snowshoes, and you’re good to go.
Marmot Wm’s Variant Jacket
An action-packed day outdoors in winter often starts with donning layer after layer of clothing and packing extra layers for the road, just in case. Then you work up a sweat on-trail and strip off those layers. They are too warm; their bulk inhibits movement; and they are now weighing down your pack. But it doesn’t have to be like that.
Valkyrie Hoodie
Just in time for fall, this brand-new hoodie from Triple Aught Design (TAD) will keep you warm and comfy. Don’t be deceived by its modern, stylish design, though.
Wildskins Arm Warmers
Add a fun factor to your fall and winter outdoor workouts with a pair of Wildskins arm warmers to help keep you going when the going gets cold.
Vibram KomodoSport LS Shoes
If you haven’t tried out a pair of Vibram FiveFingers shoes in the outdoors, now is your chance to check out a new style geared for indoor training.
Distinguishing the Good Stuff
Why am I so hesitant to weed out my water bottle collection? Because each bottle is connected with a memory or meaningful event. Sure, the memory won’t disappear with the bottle, but the bottle is a concrete reminder of the event. Read on for examples.
GORE Bike Wear Freeride Long Lady Gloves
“You can always tell a lady by her hands.” But, let’s face it, shredding the gnar and silky smooth palms rarely go hand in hand. That’s where Gore Bike Wear’s Freeride Long Lady Gloves come in handy.
Acorn Bree Booties
If you love wearing your slippers, you’ll adore the new collection of inside-outside footwear from Acorn. Cozy, warm and perfect for around-town doings.
