TOP GUN: The 3 Award Winning Goggles of 2015

2015 Smith I/O 7 Goggle

Goggles are one of the most important pieces of gear in skiing and riding. Without good goggles, you aren’t seeing as well as you potentially could and if your vision isn’t as good as it could be, your riding won’t be as good as it could be. So clearly, you want good goggles. Goggles are also the single biggest cool factor in skiing and riding. A sharp pair of goggles will get you a lot of fun comments on the hill and make you look like you know what you’re doing.

TOP GUN: The 3 Award Winning Ski Bindings of 2015

2015 Look Pivot Ski Binding

As ski technology and shape changes – and it’s been changing fast – bindings have to morph and evolve to keep up. Wider skis means wider bindings. Wider bindings leads to more control and more power transfer to your ski. You’ve got to have ski bindings. There’s no other way to attache yourself to skis. Always make sure your bindings are mounted and adjusted correctly. Bindings are the one fundamental piece of ski equipment you have that is truly safety gear. You don’t want them to come off too early and you don’t want to them to stay on too long. Both situations can lead to hard falls and bad injuries. You need a binding you can trust. […]
