CRKT The new Bona Fide is a substantial everyday carry knife measuring at just more than 8 inches from the tip of its high-carbon D2 steel blade to the end of the lightweight textured alumi- num handle. The dropped tip of the knife has both the benefits of modified wharncliffe and modified drop point blade shapes and deploys smoothly thanks to its IKBS ball bearing pivot system. What’s more, CRKT’s Field Strip Gen II feature enables the user to quickly disassemble the knife on the spot, without tools, to purge it of grease, grime or dirt. SRP is $125. Dynafit A powder-oriented ski out of Dynafit’s Speed category, the Blacklight 95 is con- structed with Paulownia Speed Core weighing in at 1,160 grams. This core of- fers softer torsion for easy forging and forgiving handling. The ski is constructed with UD Carbon Technology, 3D sidewall cap construction, race finish, tip and tail rocker, as well as full UD Carbon Construction. With unidimensional carbon fiber, the parallel construction of the carbon lends to higher resilience to the carbon fibers. With a cap sidewall construction, the weight of the ski is reduced, while ensuring optimal torsional characteristics. Made in lengths 165-184, this ski is a perfect introduction into backcountry powder hounds. Danner A retro-inspired hiker reimagined with modern technology, the Free Spirit is the performance-minded sibling to Danner’s iconic Jag boot. It features a dual-density midsole that’s extra firm around the edges for stability, while a softer com- pound sits in the middle for trac- tion where needed most. Vibram Megagrip maintains confidence underfoot, and Gore-Tex water- proofing enhances protection against the elements.
