Ride Blackened Board Bag: It’s named after one the best Metallica songs of all time. Enough said. $70 686 x Sketchy Tank Ruckus Pipe Glove: Everyone’s favorite “Lurking Class” hero teamed up with 686 for a product line collaboration. These gloves have all the bells and whistles to keep your hands dry and warm, but the Sketchy Tank graphics are the grabber. $44.95 Vans Snow Lodge Slipper: Nothing is worse than walking around in cold wet boots after an epic day on the slopes. Thankfully, Vans came out with these beauties to keep your feet nice and cozy during après. The MTE soles are super beefy so if you find yourself a little tipsy after a couple hot toddies, the walk back to the condo won’t end in a bloody mess. $70

686 Mountain Mitt: Let’s start the debate: Mitts are the best. I don’t care what anyone says. Even better is the 686 Mountain Mitt, which is a utilitarian, light, affordable tool for the job of keeping your fingers warm and your hand swag on point. Is hand swag a thing? It is now. $44.95 686 NASA Socks:
I used to think NASA stood for “National Aeronautics and Space Administration,” but after a few days enjoying these, I think “Nice Ass Socks, Aye” is a bit more…um…fitting. These socks are out-of-this-world comfortable.
$29.95 Burton Bullet Tool:
Because AAA can’t come fix a flat binding on the side of the trail, it’s best to keep a multi-tool on hand for those times when your shit is falling apart. The swappable bits of the Bullet Tool stash inside of the tool, so you won’t get stabbed falling with it in your pocket. Been there, done that. $24.95

686 Men’s Everywhere Pant:
Ever since I got these, I won’t take them off. 686 nailed it with the Everywhere Pant. I need every color! $94.95 Vans Mountain Mule:
Love these Mountain Mules. I take these water resistant, partial leather, warm, waffle sole slip-ons everywhere–even cold weather trips. I’m a germaphobe and hate stepping on floors, especially hotel floors, without shoes. These have come in handy, to say the least. $60.00 Smith Scout Helmet:
For me, helmet ventilation is important. Knowing my goggles are not going to fog while wearing the Scout Helmet is all I needed to slap this baby on. The self-adjusting lifestyle fit system flexes to match your head shape for maximum comfort. These days I’m not taking any chances with my cabeza. Find a helmet that fits you well and thank me later. $85

Burton Power Stretch Glove Liner: When you’re out in the cold but you need to be able to make fine movements with your fingers, the Burton Powerstretch Glove Liners are the perfect compromise between mobility and warmth. A lot of the time I spend outside in the winter I have a camera in my hand, and these gloves allow me to click the shutter without losing feeling in my fingers. They’re a staple in my camera bag all season, though they work great for running errands when it’s cold out, too. $24.95 686 Women’s Everywhere Pant: I wear these pants almost every day. They’re comfortable and have some stretch for easy movement, so they’re great for activities and traveling, as well as working from home. There are nice details, like functional pockets, adjustable shoelace belt, and red stitching under the cuff. And they have DWR, so when you spill a little coffee on yourself during a morning Zoom meeting, it isn’t a disaster. $94.95 Roxy Alabama WarmFlight Sherpa Pullover: Roxy’s take on this shoulder-season staple is color-blocked and done in sherpa fleece. It’s comfortable and cozy. $89.95 Rome Stars T-Shirt: You can’t go wrong gifting a fresh t-shirt to a family member. Who doesn’t love a new tee? $29.95
