It might look more like something you’d wear for chopping wood than skiing, but Marmot’s new Cat Track Insulated Jacket is a sick deal at $260. They waterproof it with their spray-on PreCip which will keep you dry for a few years, and they pack it with synthetic insulation so you don’t need to layer up. Plus you won’t look like you just got back from the Himalayas if you wear it in the city.

Eighties sunglasses maker Suncloud is back but without the rose colored tint that made them famous. They came out strong with about 30 styles six months ago, but things must not be going too well since they haven’t bothered making a website. Sunglasses giant Smith actually owns Suncloud, and they’re trying to reinvent the brand as a price point polarized option and steal some of the market from Chilis (which apparently doesn’t have a website either).

While your friends are trying to saw through their thick yellow nails with a puny scissors, you’ll be cutting with precision usually reserved for Swiss soldiers. Wenger’s Swiss Army Nail Clip Knife might not have a very impressive name, but at least you know what you’re going to get.

Trail Blazer recently began making their axes and saws with non-slip handles and bright colors. If axes are slipping out of people’s hands and flying into the woods or their friend’s tents, it seems a little late to be addressing the problem after all these years. I have a hypothesis that this will actually cause more injuries and lost axes since people will count on being able to find their hatchet after trying to throw it into a tree.

Masai Barefoot Technology shoes look like they’re made to rock back and forth letting you smoothly walk across the ground, but they actually have a soft spot near the heel that creates natural instability so your body has to react with increased muscle activity. The idea is that you get a workout since you’re constantly adjusting your balance to stay on your feet. It’s hard to believe that people are so lazy about working out that they would resort to these hideous shoes.

Their office line lets you get a workout without ever leaving your job, of course you’ll have to deal with all the orthopedic shoes questions. An alternative is to just get really wasted and walk home from downtown after work—that way you would get your off-balance walking workout in normal shoes, and it wouldn’t even seem like that bad of a walk/workout in the middle of winter.
