CamelBak
The Phantom 20
LR is a winter
hydration pack
designed for back-
country and side-country
skiing and snowboarding.
This pack is the first with
lumbar reservoir technology
to position the water weight
securely around the user’s
hips for a lower center of
gravity, says CamelBak. It
features the Carve back
panel, which has an ergo-
nomic shape and lumbar
support for better on-the-
slope carry. This pack holds up
to 17 liters of cargo, in addition to
the 3 liter reservoir. SRP is $130.
Blundstone
An update on the iconic elastic side
Blundstone boot, the Suede Origi-
nal Series in soft yet durable suede
is lightweight, durable and features a
steel shank, a removable, shaped comfort
footbed, Poron XRD in the heel strike zone,
SPS MAX comfort shock protection and a
new TPU outsole/PU midsole for longer
wear and comfort. SRP is $164.95.
Brooks-Range
Constructed with Polartec Alpha,
the first-ever breathable puffy
insulation, and Polartec Power
Wool, the synthetic fiber and
wool hybrid construction
designed to manage the
often divergent demands
of many environments,
the Hybrid Wool Jacket is
designed to be worn as
a mid-layer or outer layer.
The Lightweight 20D shell
fabric in the body protects
the user from wind while
staying breathable. SRP is
$249.95.
Buff Inc.
Buff is moving into more traditional head-
wear with 21 new styles of performance-
based hats. The XDCS Tech Hat, for one,
is made of a soft, durable fabric that
offers protection from both wind and
cold and also wicks away moisture,
making it a smart-looking choice for
Nordic skiers, cold-weather runners
and snowshoers. SRP is $25.
Blizzard
Blizzard adds the Zero G col-
lection with Carbon Drive
technology to its Freeride
category, targeting the alpine
touring/backcountry skier with
skis ranging from 108 to 85
underfoot. Carbon Drive is uni-
directional carbon frame construc-
tion that is built on top of the ski.
The Carbon Frame, combined with
the sidewall, increases the torsional
rigidity of the tip and tail, says the
company. The top sheet of the ski
is constructed with Carbon Drive,
followed by light direction fiberglass,
paulownia, light direction fiberglass
and super light fiberglass. SRPs
range from $720 to $960.
Bogs Footwear
Bogs is extending the
waterproof leather collec-
tion introduced last year for
both men and women. The
new line offers plenty of color
and patterns and the continued
use of Rebound technology. The
Rebound technology provides
a shock-absorbing cushion
throughout the entire footbed
that gives responsive support.

Mid, a low-cut boot silhouette
