      A good helmet provides you with protection and style and that’s just what the Giro Emerge MIPS Helmet delivers. The new Emerge has a low-profile shell with a trusted freestyle shape and integrated into this is MIPS Spherical technology. MIPS reduces the rotational energy during certain impacts and when combined with the impact-reducing, dual-density EPP foam found in the helmet's construction, then you’ve got full protection from high- and low-energy impacts. Help someone you care about look good and be safe this season with a gift that keeps on giving.

      DPS Phantom 2.0 Permanent Waxless Glide
      Ever imagined waxing your skis just once and never having to do it again? That’s what this stuff does for you (and whoever you are buying it for). The polymer technology—which has nothing to do with wax—sinks into your ski base. Even if you do a stone grind tune-up, your skis come out ready to slide. I “Phantomed” a pair of my skis at the beginning of last season and they felt fresh-waxed every day, in all conditions. Enviro-friendly, permanent and high-performance, Phantom is a cool concept from a great little SLC-based ski company.

      Scott 2-Part Ski Pole
      Who wouldn’t like a spanky new set of poles this holiday season? I know I would. The Cascade 2-part pole from Scott would complement any quiver. Features like a cork handle, rubber gripper and the “Strap Release System” make them perfect for touring. They are bright yellow so they won’t get lost and the grip feels super solid with a pair of gloves on. Don’t be fooled and think that aluminum is always heavier than carbon fibre. The Cascade is lighter weight than many carbon poles. Two sets of baskets come with too!
