Arc’teryx will open its first retail store in a few days in Montreal, Quebec. The store will be in the Ste-Catherine Street and knowing French will make it much easier to find. It should be a pretty cool store, too bad it’s all the way up in America Lite. via Ski Press World.

Burton and Volvo teamed up to make this concept snowboarding car—they even superimposed a couple snowboards onto the roof. This Volvo C30 will have an LED-lined cargo compartment with integrated storage for boots, boards, and helmets. The interior has a camo theme that won’t be cool anymore in a couple years.

The Fox Portage hydration backpack is—as the name implies—a big hauler for riding or skiing.

If you ever need the Outdoor Research WS Gorilla Balaclava then you’re either in weather too cold to stay outside, or you’re making a really lame movie you’ll want to show me later.

The close fit allows moisture to pass through the Pertex shell, and the baby-clothes-looking-bottom-hem lets you tuck it in so you get the benefits of a one-piece suit without actually wearing one. Of course, [ more... ]

Though the utility of RECCO reflectors is debatable, no one will argue too much if they want to give away a week-long heli trip in BC. All you need to do is be their monkey-boy and jump through a few hoops before you can enter. You need to get a copy of their Avalanche White [ more... ]

If I’d seen these Flashing LED Glasses on a guy in the street, I would have simply looked for a staircase to push him down. As it happens, I was driving and saw someone running at night with them. I hopped the curb and had him between my headlights, but the flashing lights must not [ more... ]

The 180S Convertible Running Gloves let you adjust your hand insulation for cold weather running. A retractable windproof hood tucks away after your warm-up to prevent your hands from stewing in sweat.
