Roll Recovery

The Roll Recovery SUPERPLUSH line was created to be a refuge for tired feet. Designed to be exceptionally comfortable, they’re engineered for recovery with a structured footbed providing stability and support. They’re lightweight, highly breathable, and crafted with the best materials. Step into a world where every stride is cushioned, ensuring a comfortable journey and promoting overall foot health.

The SUPERPLUSH line uses Bloom Foam technology, a premium and sustainable foam created with algae. This reduces the carbon footprint and petroleum use. Every detail has been considered, from sourcing the best materials to the end of the lifecycle (cradle-to-grave).

Thoughts=> The SUPERPLUSH is exceptionally comfortable and the perfect post-ride and workout shoe.

Gregory

Gregory is expanding its Alpaca Gear Organization collection for S25 with a new Kitchen Case. It’s the perfect piece of gear to organize and hold plates, cups, water filters, silverware, spices, and more.

The new Alpaca Gear Box Camp Box is taller than its predecessor, which fits a bottle of wine standing up! It’s waterproof and dustproof, and its durable protection includes a removable, FlipFlop hinged Clearview Polycarbonate lid that lets you locate gear at a glance. This box was designed to keep gear dry and protected.

They have also expanded their standup Tote lineup. This new Utility Gear Tote is slimmer and has a collapsible aluminum frame connected to a flexible base for durability and protection. It will come in 35L and 50L capacities.

Outdoor Research

Outdoor Research will add gear to its Freewheel mountain bike collection in spring 2025. The new Freewheel Rain Jacket is waterproof and durable, with a functional over-the-helmet hood and rear ventilation.

The new Freewheel Ride Lite Mountain Bike Shorts focus on comfort, lightness, and breathability. They are simple shorts with one pocket.

The new Freewheel Ride pants offer complete leg protection, and the almost knee-length zipper makes it easy to put knee pads on.

Thoughts => I love the Freewheel MTB line, and the new rain jacket and lightweight shorts seem a perfect complement.

Rossignol

The new Rossignol Vizion ski boots offer all-mountain performance and ease of entry/exit. 

These Vizion boots combine the power and precision of traditional 4-buckle piste boots with unparalleled ease of entry, thanks to the innovative Step In Technology. This design features a conventional overlap shell that opens wide in the back and a rigid spoiler that maintains the boot’s shape.

The double buckle system unlocks the rear cuff for quick entry and exit. When the boot is unbuckled and the red lever is rotated forward, a cable unlocks the articulated steel spine to open the entry.

Articulated steel spine

The Vizion boots will supposedly come in three different lasts (LV, MV, and HV); the women’s models will be available in 80, 90, and 100 flex, while the men’s will be available in 100, 120, and 130.

Thoughts => These boots are highly innovative. Anyone (myself included) has struggled to put boots on at the start of the day, and the worst is always at the end when the boots are cold, and it’s an eye-bulging experience getting them back off.

  • Step in Technology combines a traditional overlap shell wide open in the back for easy entry.
  • Custom Liner allows the internal padding of the boots to be customized for improved precision and performance.
  • Thinsulate liner utilizes fine fibers to insulate your feet from the cold
  • The double buckle system allows the cuff to unlock easily for quick entry and exit
  • GripWalk outsoles offer superior traction on and off your skis
  • Dual Core construction uses multiple densities of material to give the shell of your boot-shaped flex and support
  • Polyurethane construction provides consistent support at all temperatures
  • Four micro-adjustable aluminum buckles
  • 40mm Power Strap
