The Pampa Tech Hi Leather boot features an elastic
sockliner, EVA comfort footbed and a non-slip city tread
grip. Offered in sizing for men and women, the boot is
fully waterproof to combat
all cold and wet weather
conditions. SRP is
$130.
Petzl
The new Leopard FL crampons weigh just 330
grams thanks to its durable aluminum construc-
tion. The Cord-Tec flexible linking system minimizes
bulk for ease of carrying, while Petzl optimized the
crampons for snow travel with a Flex Lock binding
system designed for use with
hiking and approach shoes,
without heel or toe
welts.
Outdoor Research
The Centrifuge Hoody is built
for high-intensity winter
activities and rapidly changing
weather. An Active Insula-
tion piece that offers both
warmth and breathability,
its versatility comes from
pairing two types of highly
wicking Polartec PowerGrid
fabrics with a light, stretchy
waterproof/breathable fabric
overlay in areas more ex-
posed to precipitation. SRP
is $180.
pjur active
Pjur active 2skin pro-
tects against chafing
and blisters by form-
ing a protective film
on the skin immedi-
ately after applica-
tion. This reinforces
the cell structure and
distributes pressure
over larger areas. It
allows the skin to
breathe, free of skin-
weakening emulsifi-
ers, and is water and
sweat resistant.
Pertex
The New CS10 technology, featured in new pieces from Berghaus,
Montane, Mammut, Peak Performance and Salewa, utilizes yarns
with diamond-shaped filaments that
lock together better than traditional
circular-filament yarns, says Pertex, to
provide superb abrasion resistance along
with improved water-beading properties. It
is also soft to the touch and downproof.
Osprey Packs
Osprey introduces a full range
of backcountry ski/snowboard
packs including Kresta, the
brand’s first ever women’s
specific backcountry de-
sign. Developed in the
San Juan Mountains of
Colorado with feedback
from professional guides,
ski patrollers and dedi-
cated weekend warriors,
the Kresta is built with a
Lightwire Frame/HDPE
suspension, thermo-
formed contoured back-
panel to reduce ice/snow buildup and a
contoured EVA harness.
