In the world of winter sports, the right gear is not just about comfort; it’s about protection and maybe a little bit of style too. Obermeyer’s Mer De Glace Sunglasses have quickly become a top pick for skiers and snowboarders seeking both style and superior eye protection. Specifically, for backcountry skiers who face unpredictable terrain and variable lighting conditions, these sunglasses offer unparalleled protection and clarity. They also look great on a sun deck at an apres ski party. So, let’s take a look at the features that make these sunglasses standout.

Mer De Glace Sunglasses Features:

• Exceptional UV Protection: High altitudes and reflective snow surfaces increase the risk of UV exposure. The Mer De Glace Sunglasses from Obermeyer offer complete protection against UVA and UVB rays, safeguarding your eyes from potential snow blindness and long-term damage.
• Durable Design for Mountain Adventures: Understanding the ruggedness required for mountain sports, Obermeyer has designed these sunglasses with a robust frame. This ensures they can withstand the inevitable falls and rough handling associated with skiing and snowboarding.
• Comfort Meets Functionality: Tailored for active users, the Mer De Glace Sunglasses promise a secure and comfortable fit, essential for those high-speed descents and challenging mountain terrain.
• Sleek and Stylish: Obermeyer has not compromised on style. The chic and modern design of these sunglasses ensures that you look as good as you feel while on the slopes. AS the old saying goes, “You’ve got to look good, to ski good.”

Obermeyer’s Legacy in Skiing: Dating back to 1947, Obermeyer, founded by Klaus Obermeyer in Aspen, Colorado, has been a pioneer in the ski industry. Klaus’s innovative spirit led to the creation of the first down ski parka, revolutionizing ski apparel. Obermeyer’s dedication to quality, functionality, and style is evident in every product, including the Mer De Glace Sunglasses, which embody the company’s ethos of high-performance gear for the outdoor enthusiast.

For skiers and snowboarders particularly those heading into the backcountry, the Mer De Glace Sunglasses by Obermeyer are a stellar choice. They offer unparalleled UV protection, glare reduction, durability, comfort, and style. These sunglasses are more than an accessory; they’re a testament to Obermeyer’s enduring legacy of innovation and quality in winter sports gear. Equip yourself with Mer De Glace Sunglasses and enjoy a fusion of safety and style on your winter adventures.

As someone who appreciates both the outdoors and high-end gear that keeps you comfortably warm, I recently tested the Outdoor Research Shadow Insulated Hoodie and was thoroughly impressed. Here’s my take on this versatile winter wear.

Design & Material The Shadow Insulated Hoodie strikes a perfect balance in insulation. It’s a midweight layer, adept at handling a range of temperatures. The construction involves a thin layer of synthetic insulation sandwiched between two layers of fabric that are somewhat wind-resistant and air-permeable. The material’s stretchiness adds to its appeal, offering comfort without restricting movement.

Warmth & Comfort In moderate climates, this hoodie shines as a standalone piece. But its true versatility is evident in colder environments. Layered over a warm base and under a shell, it keeps you snug even in freezing temperatures. The softness of the fabric is a standout feature, making it a piece you’ll want to keep on long after the adventure ends.

Eco-Conscious Aspect What’s particularly commendable about the Shadow Insulated Hoodie is its environmental consideration. The insulation is made from 60g VerticalX ECO SR, incorporating REPREVE® recycled polyester and bio-based Sorona®, making it a choice that aligns with eco-conscious values.

Versatility Whether you’re hiking frozen trails or navigating chilly city streets, this hoodie fits the bill. Its breathable fabric doesn’t overheat, making it ideal for a range of activities. Plus, its stylish enough to transition from a day on the mountain to casual urban wear. It’s also great to throw on in a cabin as a warm, soft piece that will give you some extra warmth.

Final Verdict The Outdoor Research Shadow Insulated Hoodie is a top-tier choice for anyone looking for a warm, comfortable, and versatile winter garment. It’s particularly suited for those who value eco-friendly products without compromising on quality and performance. With its blend of comfort, warmth, and sustainability, this hoodie is a winter wardrobe essential for outdoor enthusiasts.

Earlier this summer, we talked about the company working to bring hologram ski goggles back into the world. It’s been quite a long time since the old Scott hologram goggles could be spotted around the ski slopes and throughout other extreme sports. Did they really serve any purpose other than looking sweet? No, but they did look sweet, and that’s what ALL SZN hopes to bring back into the world.

When we last discussed ALL SZN, they were just a kickstarter campaign with around $11,000 raised. Today they have a fully functional and pretty sweet website where you can (obviously) purchase the goggles, learn about the company, and find out a bit more. They also have a Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, where you can stay up to date on their gear. But you’re probably not here to learn about that, you’re here to learn about the goggles themselves.

ALL SZN Blink 180°

I managed to get my hands on a pair of the Blink 180° goggles (with the limited edition strap) and I can confidently say after a sunny day on the Colorado slopes that they look sweet. There’s no doubt about that in my mind. They bring back the fun of the original hologram goggles without making them look dorky or overly 90s. They look, frankly, very 2023.

Fit wise, they’re quite comfortable. I choose to wear my goggles under my helmet and I didn’t have much of a problem with the strap or band adjusters underneath. A silicone wave inner layer on the band does a great job at preventing the strap from slipping around on your head, and the strap adjustment is plenty easy.

The Lenses

In terms of the lenses (the real meat and cheese of this product), the ALL SZNs are excellent. Like I already mentioned, they look sweet from the outside, no doubt about that, but on the inside, you can only just barely make out a bit of the hologram. My biggest concern with these goggles was whether or not the design would be a distraction for the wearer, but you can only spot slight portions of it if you’re actively looking. When you’re on the slope, actually moving around, you definitely won’t notice it.

The lenses did great in the light, too. It was a fully gorgeous sunny day here in Colorado, and the ALL SZNs did a great job at keeping the sun and glare out of my eyes. Plus, I had no problem with fog, even with mt mask pulled up over my face. I’m always a bit uneasy about fully magnetic lenses in ski goggles, but the ALL SZNs features some pretty darn hefty magnets. The lenses require a descent amount of force to actually remove, so losing them after a fall is unlikely. Magnetic lenses means it’s easier to swap them out, a huge positive towards the design.

Final Thoughts

Final thoughts? The ALL SZNs are sick. I really don’t have any complaints. They look sweet, they feel sweet, and they work darn well.

As of today, ALL SZN has four lenses available to the public. The Blink 180°, featuring a red design with some sweet mountains on the lens, the Out Cold, featuring a vibrate purple mountain design, the Carvey Two-Face, featuring two separate colors split down the middle, and the Orange Topo Tint, featuring a low-light topographic design perfect for those cloudy days on the mountain.

The goggles themselves run for $165 (which obviously includes the frame and a lens), and the additional low-light lens (currently works only on the Blink 180°) is just $40. For a pair of goggles with 100% UV protection, magnetic lens swapping, and anti-fog & scratch resistance, I’d say that’s a pretty good deal.

For the past few months, I’ve been working out, lounging, and skiing in my Men’s Fremont Stretch Fleece Jogger from Stio, and I must say that I’m thoroughly impressed. These joggers offer a combination of comfort, style, and functionality that makes them stand out from the competition.

First and foremost, the comfort level of these joggers is exceptional. The fleece material used is incredibly soft and cozy, providing a luxurious feel against the skin. Additionally, the joggers feature a stretch fabric that allows for a wide range of movement without any restrictions. Whether you’re running, hiking, or simply lounging around, these joggers will keep you comfortable throughout the day.

The fit of the Fremont Stretch Fleece Jogger is also worth mentioning. Stio has done an excellent job in designing these joggers to provide a modern and sleek silhouette. They have a slim fit that tapers towards the ankle, giving a stylish and flattering look. The elastic waistband ensures a secure and customized fit.

One standout feature of these joggers is the attention to detail in their design. The stitching is well-done, and the overall construction feels sturdy and durable. There are also two hand pockets and a zippered back pocket, which are great for securely storing small essentials like keys, cards, or a smartphone. The zipper on the back pocket operates smoothly and feels solid.

In terms of versatility, the Men’s Fremont Stretch Fleece Jogger excels. While they are ideal for outdoor activities like hiking or camping, they also work perfectly for everyday wear. You can easily pair them with a casual t-shirt for hitting the gym lounging around the house or running a quick errand into town.

Karuishi® is a technical fleece concept based on lightweight warmth and durability. A special 2-layer knitted construction creates an abrasion-resistant, anti-pilling face and a lofty, brushed next-to-skin backing. The end result is a high volume, lightweight insulator that breathes exceptionally well. – Stio

They offer exceptional comfort, a great fit, and thoughtful design elements. Whether you’re hitting the trails or lounging at home, these joggers will keep you looking and feeling your best. I highly recommend giving them a try.

The Foray Super Stretch Jacket rocks a sleek and modern design that catches the eye. Its athletic fit and well-crafted details make it a stylish choice for both outdoor activities and everyday wear.

When it comes to materials and durability, this jacket doesn’t disappoint. Built with top-notch Gore-Tex fabric, it’s not only waterproof but also highly breathable. It can handle rough terrain, endure scrapes, and tackle intense weather conditions like a pro.

Weather protection? Check! Thanks to its fully seam-taped construction and waterproof zippers, this jacket keeps you dry even in the harshest rainstorms. I also appreciate the adjustable hood and cuffs, which provide extra coverage and prevent water from sneaking in.

But here’s the best part: it doesn’t sacrifice breathability for its impressive waterproof capabilities. The Gore-Tex fabric allows moisture to escape, keeping you comfortable and dry during intense activities.

Worried about mobility? Fear not! The Foray Super Stretch Jacket features a super-stretch fabric that gives you unrestricted movement. Whether you’re climbing, scrambling, or reaching for your gear, this jacket won’t hold you back.

Versatility is key, and this jacket has it in spades. It serves as an excellent outer layer during rainy or windy days, and you can comfortably layer it for colder conditions. Plus, it packs down small, making it a breeze to take along on your travels.

Functionality is another strong suit. With its well-placed pockets, including hand pockets and a chest pocket, you’ll have plenty of storage for your essentials. A nice feature is that the pocket zippers are water-resistant, so your valuables are largely safe from unexpected downpours.

The Men’s Foray Super Stretch Jacket falls into the mid-to-high price range, but it’s worth every penny. Its exceptional performance, durability, and versatility make it an investment that will serve you well for years to come.
