Five Ten Trailcross LT Mountain Bike Shoe

The lightweight Five Ten Trailcross LT is made to handle wet conditions and dry quickly, and to ventilate exceptionally well. They designed the shoe to let the water in and then back out, so it features mesh material that has no backing, along with two flex points in the forefoot to act as drain ports. The fabric-free footbed and sock liner mean water exits the shoe rapidly and efficiently, and the heel has pads that grip and cup keep moisture retention to a minimum. The rubber soles feature their non-marking Phantom compound with the classic dot pattern, and the heel and toe sections have a unique tread pattern to aid with walking traction on dirt, roots, and rocks. The LT’s will retail for $130.

They won’t retain or impart flavors,  nor shatter or rust.  They’re BPA Free, dishwasher safe and feature a flexible corner for easy venting.

Hydro Flask Down Shift Hydration Pack

The 14-liter Hydro Flask Down Shift features their proprietary Cold Flow system, a unique network of insulating technology and design components that work together to keep water cold for more than 4 hours. The insulated HydraPak IsoBound sweat-proof reservoir helps protect water temperature while the neoprene internal sleeve with reflective material guards the reservoir against heat transfer. Advanced construction includes an articulated back panel that maximizes external airflow, avoiding trapped body heat or transfer to the water inside. The streamlined design transfers weight from the shoulders to hips and a 2-liter insulated reservoir is positioned in the lumbar region provides a lower center of gravity and a more stable ride. It features a perimeter zipper that allows quick access to the interior compartment’s multiple stretch mesh and scratch-resistant pockets that offer smart storage for tools, sunglasses, keys, and other essentials. It comes in Sapphire, Guava, and Black colors, and will for $135.

 

DPS Pagoda Tour Skis

The DPS Pagoda Tour’s ski lineup mates their proprietary carbon laminate with a combination of ash and paulownia woods, and a purpose-built aerospace grade foam. This construction offers an incredible mix of minimal weight, power, energy, and dampness that rivals front-side oriented skis at classic touring weights. The fat and light Pagoda Tour 112 RP (1,560 g @ 184 cm) will be the ideal ski for the backcountry skiers in the Rockies seeking more efficient powder hunting. It comes in the 112 RR, 100 RR, 106 C2, 94 C2, and 87 C2 versions.

Dalbello Quantum Ski Boots

The Dalbello Quantum Series uses an infrared welding process to bond two pieces of the shell, allowing for varying contours, a better overall fit, and lighter weight. Along with the Bonded Shell construction, it features an innovative lacing system that includes Dyneema cording that makes for a backcountry boot that’s lightweight, stiff, powerful, and comfortable. The top of the line model, the Quantum Asolo Factory, weighs in at 950 grams, and the cuff and shell are made from a super light and ultra-stiff polyamide composite carbon material. The full lineup includes the Quantum Asolo Factory, Quantum Asolo, and the Quantum.
