EDITO BY

DENIS PICCOLO

Then a global pandemic comes out of nowhere. Worldwide. Democratic. We start again from here, or at least we should do it. We are missing freedom for the first time in our life. Our borders are outlined. For some people the border is only the door of their own house or the balcony (if they have it). For the lucky ones, the border is their own garden. Mountains, rivers, nature, the smell of grass have never been so far away and unreachable. Our overflowing wardrobes are now useless, we will trade them for a few hours of oxygen, a few moments of freedom, just a few more minutes in which to still feel that breathlessness and that cold on the face that overwhelms us when we climb a mountain. We have the luck, but also above all the responsibility, to write, shoot and tell our passions through the pages of a magazine, through the pages of The Pill.

2

Not a simple outdoor magazine as it might appear to many, but a real lifestyle: “living life in nature” says our cover. And in the society we live in today, in the historical period that everyone, without exception, is going through, these words have never been so real. So where does the need to create an Outdoor Guide come from? Do we want to mimic those same unboxing videos where everything is cool and everything is wow? Is our goal to activate your need for compulsive shopping? None of the above. It is not our intention to make you buy anything compulsively, but rather responsibly. We try, through our work, to guide you in the conscious choice that that product you would like to buy is the right one for you: the definitive, lasting product, your best ally. During the last few months, we have tested and revised hundreds of products of different categories. You know well what our vision of the outdoor is by now if you have been a friend of The Pill for a long time, and in these pages we have not limited ourselves to offering you the collections of the ski brands only, but you will also find winter news regarding mountaineering, hiking and trail shoes. You will find a wide and accurate selection of clothing, backpacks and everything you need in terms of equipment to tackle the mountains safely. Living life in nature. And this year as never before we would like to add, Stay Safe.

PHOTO CAMILLA PIZZINI

Compulsive shopping or desperate need for oxygen? We are usually bombarded with hundreds of posts and videos on social networks: more or less fake accounts that daily post their unboxing showing dozens of products. Influencers (we still have to understand how and who they really influence) or presumed ones who proudly show their overflowing wardrobes. Today we are told that a product is cool, tomorrow it will be out of fashion, and onto the next cool model. The constant search to influence our sense of compulsive shopping, to incite our desire to have everything of all sizes and all colors, the fear of missing out, to have us too, just like them, a beautifully full and overwhelming wardrobe.

Legenda

Why do you find symbols near the products? To better classify them within our Outdoor Guide. This is our legend, simple, clear and direct. The outdoor market offers both products that work well in all situations and others specific to more targeted disciplines. Nobody knows better than you what you like to do: focus your passions and look for products with the symbol that belongs to you.

SKI TOURING

From day trips to the multi-day treks. Products created to cover many kilometers, often under the sun, but which do not disdain rain and bad weather. As lightweight as possible but also performing and long lasting. Shoes that never betray you, reliability is their password.

LIGHT TOURING

TRAIL

Leggerezza e agilità. Questi prodotti rappresentano delle vere macchine da guerra per performance fuori dal comune in salita, importanti dislivelli con grandi velocità. Si paga pegno nelle performance in discesa, ma con l’arrivo delle ultime tecnologie il divario è molto minore.

If you can't help but running in the mountains, grinding out trails and climbing at high altitude without stopping, you need lightweight and space-saving products that offer maximum comfort. The shoes with this logo are perfect for your passion.

FREE TOURING

Your passion is hiking but at the same time you love speed and you’re looking for maximum performances? These products allow you to face the mountain and the difference in altitude with a quick pace, without too many frills and less weight on your back.

Pure love for the true essence of the mountain. In search of the perfect slope and immaculate powder descent. These are products with Freeride indication but with more important weight and reliability. If you love going downhill more than uphill, these are the products for you.

FREERIDE

When you see a forest or an immaculate descent you are always the first to trace it, with your foot always pushing the accelerator if there’s powder. But when it comes to climbing, the only word you know is the chairlift or hitching a helicopter’s ride (but here, at The Pill, that word is banned).

SKI RACE

If you love competition and every gram is your obsession, these products are for you: extremely performing, dedicated exclusively to sporting or competitive performance. Lightweight at the expense of reliability, but as you know you can never back down.

ALL MOUNTAIN

For true lovers of the mountains at 360°, if you always want to be prepared in every situation, from meters of fresh snow to groomers up to icy slopes and maybe even a trick in the park, with these products you will never go wrong, good performances everywhere.

MOUNTAINEERING

Your is goal to reach the top? If your dream is to go through snow, ice and rock and climb the highest mountains up to 4000 meters with a more or less fast pace, then these products are suitable for you. Lightweight, but first of all reliable, warm and breathable, fundamental elements for your safety.

APPROACH

A real must have in your backpack. To approach from a low-altitude wall to a high-altitude one, you cannot do without these shoes. Very versatile models, suitable from simple day trips to paragliding. In short, they work well, but be careful, they are not suitable for walking too many kilometers.

8

HIKING

Performance, but also lightweight and agility. These products represent real compromises: they allow you to climb with relative lightness but also to enjoy the descent to the fullest. But be careful not to underestimate them, thanks to new technologies the level is rising very much.

SPEEDHIKING

RUNNING

Do you have limited time? Or do you just love grinding out kilometers on asphalt and burning traffic lights before going back to the office? These are the shoes for you. Often born for the mountains or to meet nature, but who said that the city cannot be equally wild?

CLIMBING

Is vertical your motto? This category is obviously the one for you. Products born and developed for real climbers who don't want to hear the word horizontal. Definitely technical materials when coming to shoes, comfortable and lightweight in the clothing category.

BIKE

Is there also a bike in your garage? Maybe gravel one? Many products created for other activities are equally effective for your bike rides, do not underestimate the commitment that companies have put into developing the perfect product.

ADVENTURE & BACKPACKING

Is your life an adventure? Do you love traveling both in nature and in the city? With these products you can walk for hours, go from a sunny to a rainy climate without sweating or getting wet. Highly performing and versatile but not suitable for facing too technical and demanding climates and trails.

WOMEN

Until recently, women's products were simply men's models in smaller sizes and colored in pastel pink. Now companies have understood that women love and deserve the mountains as much, if not more, than men. Now there are numerous brands that produce products with fits and performances suitable for the female body.

KID

It’s time for new generations. Long live parents who bring their children to the mountains and do not park them in front of an IPad. Long live companies that think about them by creating ad hoc products. These little climbers deserve as much as we do to not have their butts frozen.

PRODUCT NAME On the top you will find the name of the brand and the one of product. We shot every single ski in studio with the same light conditions and in the same position in order to evaluate aesthetics and shape.

7

CATEGORY These logos show the categories where the use of this product is recommended, in the legend you will find the explanation of each individual logo.

GLOBAL IMPRESSION The first part is dedicated to the global impression, here is summarized the testers’ opinions. It starts with the general feeling that the product has given then deepened in the part dedicated to features and performances, concluding with the final impressions.

TERRAIN We have tried to give you as precise and easy to read information as possible on the 4 types of skiing: Light Touring, Ski Touring, Free Touring and Freeride. A light and fast ski that is very performing for Light Touring will hardly be suitable for Freeride.

8

DATA SHEET This paragraph summarizes the various info of the tested models provided by the parent company and then verified by us. If there is a clear difference between the data provided and those detected it is reported, but we must admit that brands are very serious in communicating all the right specs. In this order you will find: available ski sizes, type of construction, materials, sidecut, rocker, radius, weight and price.

WE LIKE Each product has its own strength, there is no a perfect product suitable for all conditions. But if something has really amazed us you will find it written here.

SKI BOOTS We have tried to keep ski-like ratings for boots as well, to make it easier for you to read. However, the features change and here you will find the number of buckles, the stance and the cuff motion. In graphics you can see the sole used, the material of the liner and cuff, and finally have info about the shell and the last.

PERFORMANCE

SKI BINDINGS

Four different numerical judgment parameters. The ratings range from 1 to 10, where 10 is the maximum in performance. We have chosen the 4 most important features when it comes to evaluating a ski: handling, pop, flex and design rate (yes, we like the style). Three of these parameters help you understand the feeling this ski offers.

Even for the bindings the categories do not change but in the features you will find the type of binding, the material with which it is built, the range drop, if there is the possibility of the skistopper and finally the rampant holder.

RIDING LEVEL It is essential to know your limits, and once evaluated them with extreme sincerity, thanks to this chart you will be able to understand if a ski is suitable or not for your level. If you are a beginner we do not recommend a ski with a very high rate in the “Pro” feature, you may not enjoy it.

TERRAIN You will find this data only about shoes that are becoming more and more versatile, for this reason we have tried to give you the most precise and easy-to-read indications on the 4 types of terrains that you will frequently meet: mud, rock, wet and grass. A perfect shoe on wet or mud probably is not the right choice on rock and vice versa.

PERFORMANCE We have established four different numerical judgment parameters. The ratings range from 1 to 10, where 10 is the maximum in performance. We have chosen the 4 most important features that a shoe must have: cushioning, protection, support and traction. There are high-performance and very technical shoes suitable for advanced runners but difficult to use for the less experienced ones, some others which are simpler and usable on all terrains, but obviously do not excel in anything. This chart lets you know if the shoe has the features you are looking for.

WE LIKE Each product has its own strength, there is no a perfect product suitable for all conditions. But if something has really amazed us you will find it written here.

DISTANCE Here you will find some data to evaluate whether a trail shoe is suitable for short, medium or long distances.

VOLUME The feet of each one of us differ not only in length but also in width and volume, here you will find the internal volume of every shoe which can be small, medium or large.

TESTO DENIS PICCOLO

The Pill Outdoor Guide. 5th Edition. Fall Winter. An unexpected success.

FOTO CAMILLA PIZZINI

We want to be honest. We did not expect such a big success. And last edition of the summer Outdoor Guide was. Outdoor Store enthusiasts and buyers literally tore up our 25,000 copies, also leading to unimaginable numbers of the digital version on Issuu and very satisfactory sales in our store throughout Europe. Thank you so much. We discussed in the editorial office and after a few hours of briefing, some pizzas and beers, we decided to embark on this new adventure. The development of an Autumn/Winter Outdoor Guide. The style remains the same of the summer guide, obviously the products have changed and the Ski category has been added. Our style remains unchanged, our goal is not to advise you which is the best product on the market, there are too many variables, different shades and details that ultimately make the difference. Our aim is to offer you an overview of all the news that the most important brands are presenting this winter season, selected in collaboration with the most important market players. Our aim has always been to become a reference point for companies, buyers, shops and end consumers, the meeting place for communication in the outdoor world. There are more than 700 products selected by our editorial staff in 6 months of travel, exhibitions, presentations and tests, a complete overview of the most important news regarding mountaineering, approach, hiking, trekking, speedhiking, trail, ultra trail and skyrace. In addition to clothing, backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, equipment and safety in the mountains. Within our Guide you will find a great variety of products, each of them carefully selected and reviewed. However, we decided to take one step further. The most interesting products, the mar-

ket news, the most attractive models, we asked companies to having them sent to our editorial staff, in order to having them carefully tested on the field thanks to our selected testers.

What's The Pill Outdoor Test? How does it work? Our Outdoor Guide wants to be a tool for consumers and buyers who can, through our tests, have new and detailed information about the products. The testers we have carefully selected boast an important and diverse background in various outdoor aspects: former athletes, coaches, guides, influencers, buyers and industry insiders. All of them, in a different way, represent each one of us, which is why we looked for testers who could give us totally different feedbacks, from the pro that requires certain features to the advanced skier who looks for others. This winter, as said before, we have decided to enlarge our test field onto multiple categories. Therefore, not only having shoe models been tested as in previous years, but having also put ourselves in the game with clothing, backpacks and some news regarding the equipment and the safety sectors. Obviously an important part is played by the skis in addition to boots and bindings. Running these tests was not easy. The Covid-19 emergency has ironically put us to test too, especially with the ski part, closing the lifts early in March. That’s why we feel deeply thankful to the testers which, in addition to the availability for the test days, have individually tested the selected products. But those testers were not enough. Their opinion, albeit authoritative, is not enough to review a product, especially in respect of those who in the research & development department of a company thought about that product, developed it for months and then produced it. So we did more, we sent digital Google Forms to some of the most important shops and their buyers who distribute the magazine, asking them to fill out a test for every product they knew deeply or had recently tested. Above all expectations, the involvement in this project has been very positive and the responses and

16

feedback arrived in our inbox were truly hundreds. The resulting feedback gave birth to the reviews that you will read on the following pages.



The Pill Outdoor Way.

TEXT DENIS PICCOLO PHOTOS CAMILLA PIZZINI S K I M A N DAV I D E R OV E R E

Our method, tested for more than 10 years, requires a lot of precision, countless kilometers by car, presence at all the presentations of the collections, and, apart from this difficult year due to the Covid situation, the presence at all trade fairs. Adding all these experiences, we have developed an effective method for carrying out the various tests. It may seem a simple task after all, but a good job requires experience, in-depth knowledge of the product, organization and a team of qualified and motivated people to repeatedly test the products with a careful eye, ready not to spare themselves on critical issues and merits. But above all we believe that humility is very important in this type of work, because as much as we can try to be objective and professional, we are also subjectively influenced by the various brands, and a not very lucid analysis would not be respectful

18

towards research & development departments that constantly seek solutions and improvements in their products. Our work must also always be questioned, there is the possibility that a product has not been understood by our testers.


Your Life, your Spirit.


The evaluations The products are tested in the field, on the snow, on trails or on rock faces. But it would be difficult to evaluate a product after using it for a few hours, this is only the final step of the entire test chain. Before getting to test a product, in fact, we spoke with those who conceived that product, we interviewed buyers who sell and use it, we know the previous versions that preceded it, we are informed by the manufacturers of the improvements made. It is at this point that our copywriters have all the elements in hand to write a test.

Product choice We usually grind out thousands of kilometers a year to attend brands’ sales meetings where next season's news are presented to dealers. Every year there is no shortage of premier events such as ISPO, with which we work closely and where we get an idea of the direction of the market is taking and what is worth turning our attention to for testing. Once decided the products we are interested to try, we request the various models to companies, indicating our preferences and confronting with them about the choices made. We always ask them to send us the products in the same conditions in which they will arrive in stores to evaluate all aspects, including packaging and finishes.

Preparation All products get cataloged and a grid is drawn up with the parameters that will compose, together with the general impression, the final report. The products are all checked and the measures declared by the parent company compared with appropriate instruments, if there are no substantial differences we do not report it. We make sure that the product complies with the company declaration. Then the test sequence of the product is discussed for each one of the testers. Every one of them has specific characteristics and particular product knowledge. Adding up all these factors, we decide who is going to test what.

Test As you know, the days in the mountains are short and time goes by fast, The Pill staff prepares the products for the test round and asks the testers to use the product on different terrains, uphill and downhill with skins and on different terrains. Regarding hiking and trail tests, the testers are asked to run uphill and downhill, on a light run and a demanding run, and on different days so that a negative physical day of one tester won’t affect the result. At the end of the tests, a meeting takes place where the data are checked again and each tester is provided with an iPad where to complete a digital form by entering their own judgments on each individual product.

Data processing Back in the office, we examine the data collected, processing and comparing them with those provided by buyers from all over Europe via email and from the parent company. Our copy, together with the staff who conducted the tests, compiles the text of the review: this is perhaps one of the most difficult tasks because in just more than 2000 characters the opinions and an impressive amount of data must be summarized. Once drafted, each individual review is checked and shared internally.

End of tests and feedback to companies Once the tests are completed, the products get cleaned, sanitized and sent back to the brands, we don't keep any of the products tested as some of you might think (although sometimes we would like to). The final report gets shared, with no possibility of modification. An honest and balanced report, the result of the opinions of expert and reliable testers, is then added to the ones coming from hundreds of shops that daily sell the same products, in order to be a valid product evaluation tool for companies and for the final consumer.

Shooting and layout An important part of our The Pill editorial staff is aesthetics, in fact we would like our Outdoor Guide to be also a beautiful object to collect and, perhaps, to inspire young designers. That's why we often throw ourselves into "crazy" covers as someone in the outdoor market tells us, but it's our style and our strength (we're not really crazy though!). A fundamental part of the guide is obviously the tested products, they must be given the right emphasis, so each of them is carefully shot in our studio, as the companies have provided it to us, without frills and without any photoshopping. You may then wonder what is the difference between the test we have talked about so far and a review: the review is an evaluation of the product born from the comparison between our experience, the one of the buyers and the company itself. Now that we have all the material we finally start to layout.

Straight to the printers A WeTrasfert file and we’re good, a few days later you will have one of The Pill Outdoor Guide in your hands. You will finding it in your favorite shop or receiving it directly at home (by ordering it online on www.thepillmagazine.com/shop). The guide will remain throughout the season on the counters of more than 1000 shops and who knows how many will be in your homes. Always ready to be read to advise you in your purchases.

An eye on nature Those who know us, know how much we love nature and our planet. We were among the first in 2013 to have columns about sustainability in our magazine. This leads us to make an informed choice about the paper we print on. The Pill paper is recycled from unsold magazines and books at newsstands and bookstores that have been subsequently macerated. Our 25,000 copies distributed in outdoor stores, in selected newsstands and sold online, are fully distributed and no copies are macerated. You will find unsold items online in "The Pill Collection" packs or in distribution during outdoor events.

Word to the Stores. The natural habitat of the Outdoor Guide is obviously the Outdoor Store, this is why we felt the need to constantly interact with these shops to understand the dynamics and the direction of the market. During the last months we exchanged many opinions with some of the most important Outdoor Stores to get a better understanding of the pre-season situation.

Antonello Seppi Sport Liffee Sportlifee member. Three shops and some ski rentals. For ski enthusiasts this will be a different winter from the past ones, what are the trends? This year everything is a bit blocked, both due to Covid19 and the absence of snow. Until now, the vast majority of people have always practiced alpine/downhill skiing, because it is less tiring and allows you to practice it with the entire family without problems. In recent times, however, skialp has been growing more and more because it allows you to ski both off-piste, with beautiful excursions in unexplored places, and on groomers at certain times when the ascent is allowed. Many people who run in the summer see skialp as a kind of winter training or even a way to spend a nice day in nature. As an outdoor store, what do you expect from this season? We are certainly not expecting the year of records, we are waiting for a whole series of decisions to be taken by ski resorts, based on what we will able to do or not.

26

Do you think that when everyone will be finally free to move again there will be an assault on products as happened last summer in the cycling market? Clearly this summer there was a strong growth and demand for everything that has to do with the outdoor world, luckily we as Italians like the stay outside. For this winter we hope there will be the same enthusiasm. What are the news that have most impressed you this season? There have been no huge innovations. In recent years we had already reached the

top but there have always been small improvements from brands. Unfortunately we were unable to carry out any tests due to circumstances beyond ours control. Talking about safety in the mountains, what message would you like to spread? Listen to the experts, follow the advice of mountain guides and of those who really live in the mountains. What does the word outdoor mean to you? Living the life outdoor!


Andrea Adinotte SkiCenter Varna Head of the Boots Fitting department in the Bressanone Skicenter. Shop specialized in the ski world, in particular in racing and more. For ski enthusiasts this will be a different winter from the past ones, what are the trends? If the government will give us the possibility to practice mountaineering and cross-country skiing this winter while the lifts will remain closed, they will have an exceptional boom of these disciplines. As an outdoor store, what do you expect from this season? We had a good start during September and October, but now with the lockdown we can do nothing more than waiting. What are the news that have most impressed you this season? A brand that had a great evolution is Tecnica with the new mountaineering boots. For safety in the mountains we always recommend Arva, with products such as ARTVA Snow Safety, which is always functional.

Angelo Cuisini Mountain Planet Livigno

Why do you think there has been a strong growth in freeriding and touring? In my opinion one of the first reason is the cost. At the moment it costs a lot to get a ski pass and therefore becomes prohibitive for some people. Furthermore, probably for the adrenaline, the search for new lines and the beauty of exploration that only the skialp can give. Talking about safety in the mountains, what message would you like to spread? First of all I recommend

Owner. Mountain technical shop: clothing, equipment and much more, including skiing and camping. For ski enthusiasts this will be a different winter from the past ones, what are the trends? Good question, first of all we hope that the snow will arrive. I cannot predict from the point of view of alpine skiing as the lifts will have limited access numbers and consequently there will be fewer people on groomers. There will certainly be more people who want to try ski touring. What are the news that have most impressed you this season? There are no big news, most companies try to lighten materials and skis. There were some innovations for the boots to which they added a little more weight to give more flex, but nothing groundbreaking.

everyone to take a ski course that allows you to get to a good level not only in the ascent, but above all in the descent, in order to have more control in all situations in which you might find yourself. Furthermore, I also recommend taking a course about safety that will help you understand how to move and what to do in emergency or danger situations. What does the word outdoor mean to you? Everything about the mountain in terms of hiking, going out looking for a sense of freedom.

Talking about safety in the mountains, what message would you like to spread? Always have with you shovel, probe and ARTVA. I also hope that most people will attend courses to learn how to move better in the mountains. Why do you think there has been a strong growth in freeriding and touring? Because people increasingly like to stay away from the chaos and do sports, plus you have the opportunity to see places that you would never see from the lifts. Moreover with the alpine guides it is definitely a safe activity. It has already happened to us in recent years that those who took the 6-day ski pass decided to dedicate a whole day to ski mountaineering. What does the word outdoor mean to you? Being outdoor, free to think.

27


Giuseppe Zamboni Df Sport Specialist Head of Marketing. For ski enthusiasts this will be a different winter from the past ones, what are the trends? Surely we are all anxiously awaiting the opening of the lifts, because undoubtedly if they did not open it would be a damage not only for us, but also for all the ski resorts. However, we expect greater development and demand for activities such as ski touring, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. As an outdoor store, what do you expect from this season? It depends a lot on how the current situation will develop and also about the snow. Unfortunately, at the moment everything is blocked. Certainly it will be difficult for ski resorts to start firing snow if they cannot open afterwards, so a little natural snow could help. Do you think that when everyone

will be finally free to move again there will be an assault on products as happened last summer in the cycling market? Surely if everything returns to normal we expect it. We are actually ready with a whole series of services such as rental for both snowboarding and skiing and more. We have seen from the example of Cervinia that there’s a great desire to ski and people are waiting for nothing but enjoy open spaces and freedom. What are the news that have most impressed you this season? There are always a lot of updates from companies, but no big news for now. What does the word outdoor mean to you? It means practicing outdoor sports. This summer there has been a

great boom in the outdoor world, especially thanks to people who never even trek one day in the past. Many have discovered these new activities and have begun to frequent the mid-mountain and open spaces more and more, discovering a whole series of beauties and possibilities different from those they were used to previously.



Norbert Frenademez Sport Tony La Villa Co-owner of Sport Tony in La Villa. A historical shop born in 1870 of sporting goods for the mountains and beyond. For ski enthusiasts this will be a different winter from the past ones, what are the trends?It is very difficult to make predictions for the season given the problems with the virus. We have noticed that people try to escape from the crowds in any case. When the opportunity arises, they will certainly look for open spaces and consequently, as happened this summer for hiking, we expect a growth in freeriding, skialp and snowshoe trekking. Do you think that when everyone will be finally free to move again there will be an assault on products as happened last summer in the cycling market? At the moment our shop is closed, due to the red zone that is involving the whole

30

province. Before closing we noticed a great interest from consumers for ski mountaineering and winter trekking. We almost certainly expect that there will be an increase in the outdoor sector as soon as it is allowed to go out, maybe not quite like bikes, but it all depends on when we will be able to move again. What are the news that have most impressed you this season? Regarding news, we see that even large companies such as Atomic and K2 are focusing a lot on the outdoor world, in particular on ski touring boots or bindings. ATK will come out with a child binding, and we can't wait to see it. While K2 has renewed all the graphics for its skialp sector. The Wayback line seems to work very well. Our best sel-

ling K2 model is the Wayback 96, we have been given some great reviews. For freeriding, the Mindbender line is the absolute top, with the 108Ti as the spearhead. In combination with this line, the Mindbender 130 boot must also be taken into consideration. Talking about safety in the mountains, what message would you like to spread? Regarding safety, I would recommend, especially to those approaching the mountain for the first time, to deal with mountain guides and not to take the mountain too lightly. It always takes a certain respect for nature. What does the word outdoor mean to you? Outdoor for me means freedom and pure passion.

Safety in the mountains. First of all be ready. D E N I S P ICCOLO IT W TO PAOLO M ARA Z ZI P H OTO S PAO LO SA RTOR I

Aspiring mountain guide (hopefully he will officially become one in May), he is part of the Ragni di Lecco and an athlete of various team such as Scarpa, Black Diamond and Arc'teryx. He decided to become a guide because, basically, he likes to go to the mountains and would like to continue to do it throughout his entire life. Every year he flies to Patagonia to discover unexplored places and to ski immersed in atypical landscapes. We can say that for him the mountain represents a continuous research and exploration. Winter is coming, the season is about to begin (lockdown permitting), more and more enthusiasts want to explore freeriding which, although being beautiful, could be risky sometimes. Of course, undoubtedly exploring and freeriding involves some risks and from my point of view the best thing would be to mitigate these dangers, because unfortunately in activities like these in the mountains the risk cannot be eliminated, but certainly it can be reduced. The most obvious and effective way to do this is to use a series of self-rescue tools for avalanches, especially training ourselves to use them. In fact, it is not enough to buy them, wear them and go. You also need to take courses or even simply, with friends, do a briefing about what means rescuing someone in case of an avalanche, what is behind it and above all try to anticipate the risk, adopting a series of precautions and behaviors. An example? Trivially we are now closed at home for a lockdown, when we will go out for the first time on the snow we will obviously be less trained than last year and we will have to implement a series of attentions in choosing our de-

32

stination also based on what is our physical form, and not based on what we would like to do. You must not find yourself in a risky situation, but work in advance to avoid or reduce it: an excellent thing would be, for example, contacting local people to ask for information on the area you would like to explore, keep an eye on the weather forecast and train well in view of the experience. In recent years the interest for skialp has been increased dramatically, probably with the lockdown it will grow even more. Are you worried about the idea that a lot of beginners with many uncertainties will throw themselves into a sport like this? Similarly to freeriding also for skialp you have to try to learn how to behave, taking into account, in this case, a whole series of details that have to be observed, perhaps even during the climb. Maybe the beauty of skialp is precisely the possibility of touching the snow before starting the descent, evaluating it, feeling if there are empty, weak layers, or maybe when you are on the flat, try to hear if there are any thuds, which


33


means that a weak layer of snow has broken and an avalanche could happen. When moving uphill you have to observe everything: if there have been old avalanches and where, in order to better understand where to descend from. You have to try to gather a lot of information before moving and then descend safely. The three main things that you always evaluate before going to the mountains? Are there any precautions that after years of experience you have understood to be essential and you feel like sharing with us? First the weather forecast. Secondly, while getting into the car I always try to notice if there have been any old avalanches, I look at how the snow is and I observe all the elements. Third thing, as soon as I put my skis on I try to understand the conditions even more carefully, maybe I give the snow a tap on my ski to see if it is settled and I punch it with a pole to see if there are any gaps. Snow is the fundamental element of this sport, how do you know if it is skiable or not? In case you are in a bad condition, what do you recommend? First of all, there is no nonskiable snow, there are good or bad skiers. In any

34

case, there are two different conditions to be evaluated to understand whether it is skiable or not. The first derives from our physical condition, if, for example, there’s a crust in front of us and we feel that we are struggling too much or we cannot manage to ski, we have to go back and avoid this part or spend the rest of the day on groomers. If we are doing ski mountaineering, this is a detail that we can already see uphill and, even in this case, we can turn around and go back. The second condition depends on actual snow conditions and it is good to understand this before starting an off piste line. For example, if in the first two meters I feel that the snow is not suitable and the location is just as complex or dangerous, the best thing would be to turn around and choose another itinerary, perhaps with lower slopes or in the middle of the woods. You don't always have to ski like there’s no tomorrow. Sometimes it's best to stop and give up. The snow safety world has progressed considerably in recent years, until a few years ago using an avalanche transceiver or an airbag backpack took a back seat. What are your tips in terms of equipment? If I’m practicing freeriding, 100% of the time I use an anti-avalanche backpack, but with an electrical system that allows

you to use it several times, not because you want to use it numerous times during a day, but simply to check if it works or not before each departure. Those who use the cylinder have the defect that, if it is faulty, you cannot know until you try it. I also always carry two probes with me, one in carbon and a smart probe that works at a distance of 50cm. Why two? If I have to do a rescue search, I use the smart probe right away. In case there are more people buried, once I find the first victim with the smart probe, I can mark the spot with the carbon one and leave other people to dig and immediately afterwards look for a possible second victim. As for the shovel, I have a telescopic one with a handle that can be extended a little more because digging is the activity that requires more energy, so having a good product is the best thing. Last but not least: ARTVA. Often using the top of the range is not necessary, because it has such complex software that it is more difficult to use. It often happens that people, finding it too complex, waste time especially in a situation in which every moment is fundamental. Ultimately, however, try to invest in rescue equipment, because it will undoubtedly last you over the years and is essential for these activities.

36

You also need to know how to use this equipment: just a quick reading of the instruction book or a few videos on YouTube are enough? Or do you recommend something more in-depth? Obviously it is very important to know how to use this equipment in the best possible way and it would be recommended for everyone to do ARTVA camps or rescue courses at least once a year. Even if I’m going to be a mountain guide, I do two or three of them a year to study different possible situations. I often recommend spending a day with some friends to learn various techniques, perhaps burying a backpack. In this way you can practice not only with the transceiver but also with the probe and the shovel. If you are perhaps a group of inexperienced friends, you can still organize an outing with a guide who will certainly help you learn better. Furthermore, the possibility that the transceiver may have been damaged or broken and no longer functioning should never be excluded and thanks to these days you will realize that it needs to be repaired. Are there any tools or sites that you can recommend where to properly prepare for an adventure and maybe look for interesting routes to do? fatmap.com | wepowder.com | powderguide.com | kbyg.org

Jeep Compass 4xe Test Drive by The Pill BY D E N IS P ICCO LO

The Pill meets Jeep and the road turns green. Thanks to this precious collaboration, all of our Trail and Hiking shoe tests were carried out by our testers using Jeep Compass 4xe, the plug-in hybrid SUV, pioneer of the brand's “green” revolution. We couldn't help but test it too... Occupational hazard! By 2022, all models in the most award-winning SUV range ever will be electrified. Today leading the way is Compass 4xe, the Made in Italy SUV equipped with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Zero emissions in the city, 50km of electric range but the same off-road capability that has made Jeep famous all over the world. How did we find ourselves? Just one word: enthusiastic! How it works The name 4xe summarizes the key feature of this car: thanks to the support of the rear electric motor, you get a four-wheel drive, this allows you to move even with the only electricity and therefore, in general, reduce consumption and emissions. A front electric unit acts as a starter motor and contributes to recharging the nominal 11.4 kWh lithium battery. Inside the trunk there’s a 1.3-liter, four-cylinder, turbo petrol internal combustion engine (delivering 130 horsepower for the Business and Limited set-ups, 180 for the S and Trailhawk ones) that moves the front wheels. On the rear axle there’s the second electric motor developed by Gkn that delivers 60 hp of power and 250 Nm of torque, generating traction and recovering energy while braking. An 11.4 kWh, 400 volt, lithium-ion, nickel-manganese-cobalt, battery pack powers the e-axle and is located in a secure position underneath the second row seat. It also features a six-speed automatic transmission and two levels of braking regeneration to choose from by selecting with a button next to the gear lever. During our travels,

38

which varied from asphalt road to off-road trails, the Compass 4xe never found itself in difficulty and the engine always supported the climbs well. Driving modes Before getting behind the wheel, the car has three operating modes: Hybrid, Electric and E-Save. Hybrid is the default mode selected when the car is started. It is designed to manage and use the system in the most efficient way, optimizing power and minimizing fuel consumption. The internal combustion engine and electric motor work together according to the road type. Initially, the system favors the noiseless electric driving. Electric is the mode that provides a full-electric average range of 50 kilometers up to a maximum speed of 130 km/h at zero emissions. E-Save, on the other hand, is the mode for maintaining battery charge or for charging it up to the 80% while driving using the internal combustion engine. This mode is useful when, after a long journey, you plan to travel in the city center. Charging Through an an electric button on the central tunnel, located under the gear lever, you can increase the level of energy recovered in braking to recharge the accumulators: by pressing the “e-Coasting” button, the breaking intensity can be activated according to two different levels, more or less intense. The operation of the hybrid system is displayed on the multimedia system screen. Using the My

Uconnect app, you can check the battery charge status, program the "climate" switch-on and schedule recharging based on the availability of nearby charging stations. In addition, you can even pay for the recharge with your smartphone. With the 2,3 kW Easywallbox (which does not require the intervention of specialized personnel for domestic installation) it takes less than five hours to fill the accumulator. If desired, the power can be increased to 7.4 kW, for a full charge in less than two hours. In the absence of recharging, the petrol engine will power the electric one through the integrated motor generator and the “Powerlooping” function. In fact, the battery never completely discharges because the car software prevents it. You can also download the Go 4xe app for free, which allows you to simulate different uses of the car, calculating the range of autonomy from a geographic location of your choice, the cost of recharging and the savings on carbon dioxide emissions guaranteed by the hybrid system. Performance The plug-in hybrid impressed us especially on off-road, but we will discuss it later. The classic drive shaft is no longer there, but the qualities remain remarkable. The rear electric motor provides instant torque which is, most importantly, extremely precisely adjustable. The steering is sensitive and progressive, and is accompanied by a roll resistant structure. In general, on the Compass 4xe you travel very well and with very little noise that arrives in the cockpit only when the tires pass on very damaged asphalt. Excellent suspension as well as the fluidity of the 6-speed automatic transmission which is responsive even in manual mode. On board 4.39m long, the Compass 4xe has a luggage compartment ranging from 420 to 1,230 liters. We stowed it with skis, boots and all the technical gear tested in our Guide and it held up extremely well.

The limited size of the charging module and the location of the electric motor under the floor made it possible to maintain the capacity of the trunk practically unchanged compared to the version with a traditional engine. The design is elegant, the quality of materials and finishes are minimal and unobtrusive, increasing the feeling of space available. The habitability is excellent. In the end, if it weren't for a dedicated instrument cluster, with a needle to indicate the operating phases of the hybrid system, it would seem to be on a traditional motorized Compass model. Off-Road Last but not least comes the most important aspect for us outdoor lovers: off-road. On off-road trails the Compass 4xe performs extremely well, overcoming different obstacles with nonchalance and transmitting a sense of safety even at the highest degrees. It does not fear even the most demanding fords, it faces depths of 50cm thanks to the steel skid plates and the oversized rims and tires, for a ground clearance of 21.3cm. The various driving situations are faced with the help of the famous Selec-Terrain system which allows you to select specific driving modes for normal driving, sports driving, mud and sand and snow. The new Sport driving mode combined with the responsiveness of the electric is capable of making the car very fun to drive, especially on mixed terrains. The roll in wide curves can be felt, but it is not bothersome, while in tight curves, handling is appreciated. But it is on the most demanding off-roads that the Compass 4xe gives its best. The 4xe plug-in hybrid, thanks to the new Rock function, does not stop at any obstacle. Surprising for a car that also guarantees all the comforts of a sport utility. The end of our tests coincides with the end of the test drive of this car that really surprised us. Traveling in the mountains without the annoying noise of the engine to enjoy nature is an indescribable emotion, an even greater emotion is knowing to protect it thanks to the electric.

By 2022, all models in the most award-winning SUV range ever will be electrified. Today leading the way is Compass 4xe, the Made in Italy SUV equipped with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Zero emissions in the city, 50km of electric range but the same off-road capability that has made Jeep famous all over the world. How did we find ourselves? Just one word: enthusiastic!

Gore-Tex Infinium Thermium Cold is often a problem for mountain adventurers and more. In winter there is a risk that shoes let the cold penetrate, leaving us with frozen feet. Gore-Tex Infinium Thermium technology is here to help. In fact, it is designed following human physiology in order to put the right amount of insulation only where it is needed, around the toes, the area of our body that loses heat faster, causing the unpleasant sensation of having cold feet. It is a patented and extra-thin insulation positioned only on the toe area which is the part of the foot most sensitive to cold. So your feet will stay warm outdoor without overheating, ensuring comfort for the whole day. Gore-Tex Infinium Thermium is ultra-thin and provides warmth comparable to existing, bulky insulation. It is a perceivable improvement and validated in cold chamber tests (0°C) where the temperature was measured at different points on the toes. The results showed that footwear with an insulation layer kept the toes up to 3° C warmer than the same shoe without an insulation layer. Comfort researchers concluded that this was a highly signi-

44

ficant and perceptible difference. In conclusion, if the toes are not well insulated, the whole foot will be affected. La Sportiva's G5 Evo technical boots use Gore-Tex Infinium Thermium technology, in order to keep your feet warm for longer without limiting your freedom of movement. G5 Evo boots, with double Boa Fit System and Vibram Matterhorn sole, represent the highest degree of evolution of modern mountaineering. The innovative membrane with thermal insulation Gore-Tex Infinium Thermium is inserted into the shoe and strategically positioned in the toe area, without adding volume or modifying its original appearance, wrapping the shell and the midsole to offer maximum thermal insulation and well-being at the feet of mountaineering athletes and, at the same time, guaranteeing constant performance in wet, dry or intense cold conditions.

Polartec Power Air x Mono Air Houdi

To fight plastic waste in the textile industry. Houdini is a Swedish outdoor brand that has for the last decade been a sustainability pioneer within the clothing industry, creating sustainable fashion products that at the same time guarantee high performance for years. In collaboration with its historical partner Polartec, ingredient brand leader

in the production of innovative textile solutions, they present to the market their latest and award-winning innovation in the field of sustainability: Mono Air Houdi.

design of the garment, was awarded with the prestigious ISPO Gold Award, and was conceived to deal with the problem of plastic and textile waste on a large scale.

This jacket, whose name is inspired by the use of monomaterials in the

“Our vision is to enable a waste-free world where people can enjoy nature experiences without negatively impacting the environment. The insight that sparked the idea of Project Mono Air was that if we want to really change the industry for the better, we need to work together. We all share the problems that are caused by unsustainable design and manufacturing, so why not share the solutions to tackle them? One garment is not going to solve the problem, but we hope it can be one step on the way towards speeding up the pace of innovation and hopefully spark change even beyond the textile industry”, says Eva Karlsson, CEO at Houdini. The garment is developed in a groundbreaking light version of the Polartec Power Air fabric technology, made from recycled and 100% recyclable

material, it is the first technology engineered to reduce microfiber shedding by 80%. It is engineered with a knit construction that encapsulates air to retain warmth and constructed only by mono material filament fibers. This way, the level of insulation is kept, but the microfiber shedding is radically reduced by at least five times compared to other premium “mid-layer” fabrics. With its cutting-edge outdoor performance, the jacket pushes boundaries both in terms of sustainability and functionality, demonstrating how you can really contribute to the concept of circular fashion, it is thanks to examples such as those of Houdini that it is possible to show the world that creating garments in a sustainable way is possible.

clothing can be made sustainably.” Polartec aspires to a world without waste where it will be possible to experience nature without causing any negative impact on the environment. This is the biggest challenge for all circular fashion brands: designing sustainable products without giving up high performances. And that's exactly what has been achieved with Mono Air: a sustainable garment with revolutionary performance. The goal of this open-source project is to transmit the work underlying its creation as a legacy for the development of innovation and other products. If this leads to new circular advances in the textile sector it means that the path taken by Polartec and Houdini is the right one.

"The biggest challenge for all brands working with circularity is to design products that are sustainable without compromising on performance. This is what we have been able to solve with the Mono Air: to create a garment that enables both sustainability and cutting-edge performance. The goal with the open-source project is not to create many Mono Air fleece jackets, but to let the work behind it become useful in the development of other products and innovations. If this can lead to new circular breakthroughs in the textile industry be it in the hands of a basement designer or billion dollar brand we are on the right path” says Jesper Danielsson, Head of Design and Innovation at Houdini. .

The Mono Air jacket is a garment that offers optimal thermal insulation in all seasons. Lightweight, comfortable and breathable, Houdini Mono Air is the perfect jacket to be worn as an intermediate layer. Tests have shown that it is suitable for both outdoor activities and the urban life. In addition, thanks to Mono Air, an open-source initiative that aims to share online all the information relating to the recent creation of the Mono Air Houdi, it will be possible to download a complete run-down of the garment's components, from patterns down to the last button, as well as follow every design decision, learn about the fabric technology and explore the circular design principles that lay the foundation of all Houdini garments. This initiative aims to orient the textile industry and product design towards a trend that is as circular and waste free as possible. “Polartec Power Air is a step forward in reducing the environmental impact of what we make and wear,” says Steve Layton, President of Polartec. “This groundbreaking technology can be a real enabler for circularity. It's processes and constructions like these, which make circularity possible. And it's designs like Houdini's which help show the world how

Polartec Alpha

Polartec Alpha represents the evolution in the synthetic insulation sector offering an extraordinary combination of warmth, lightweight and breathability. Polartec Alpha was invented for the U.S. Special Forces. They required a superior insulation system for extreme temperature variations and the start-stop conditions of combat. Alpha is the technology based on the principle of active insulation, eliminating the need to remove and add layers during outdoor aerobic activity. Extremely resistant and performing, Alpha guarantees fast drying times and increasing performance. Polartec Alpha is composed of lofted fibers connected to a solid mesh core. Its structure allows it to be coupled with external and internal layers (linings) with a very open weave and therefore much more breathable than traditional garments with puffy padding which instead require external fabrics that do not pluck or let the fibers pass, inhibiting the passage of moisture in the form of vapor, even at levels of average physical activity, and retaining the heat trapped between the body and the garment. Polartec Alpha, on the other hand, continuously releases excess body heat before it builds up causing saturation and discomfort. The air exchange guarantees great breathability and comfort while moving. It is also wind resistant and highly com-

pressible. It is therefore ideal for all activities that involve frequent start-stop conditions in which weight and space must be reduced to a minimum. When worn as an outer layer, it offers exceptional breathability and very fast drying times, guaranteeing a wide range of comfort. It is therefore particularly suitable for backcountry activities such as mountaineering, skiing and ice climbing. But also as an intermediate layer under hardshells or softshells Polartec Alpha is very effective and versatile, able to satisfy various outdoor uses and needs.

Vibram Katia Tomatis ITW BY S I LV IA GA LLIA NI

Katia Tomatis, born in 1981, is one of the top athletes of the National Skialp Team since the 2014/2015 season and has been part of the Skialp Team Vibram since the 2016/2017 season, with which she won the Pierra Menta in 2018. Professional athlete and mother, she also runs a refuge during the summer. Katia has a life full of passions, sports and much more, but it hasn’t always been like that!

52


Hi Katia, tell us about your story and above all what you do now! Summarizing my story, I could say that I worked in a bank for 12 years, then I quit my job and took over a refuge. Thanks to this choice, I was able to concentrate a little more on ski mountaineering training and the following year to join the national team. Five years have gone by now, in the summer I work in the refuge, while in the winter I train and compete. I think it is everyone's dream to make their passion become their work and for me now it is. I lived the 2020 spring with a bit of anxiety, especially for the current situation, but even in the refuge we adapted without problems and in the end I found my rhythms. Currently, despite the new lockdown, I can still train and I'm happy. I clearly miss competing, but as long as I can go out on my mountains I am happy. Why this radical choice? What really was frustrating about my previous job was to be confined by walls. I have always lived in the mountains and every day I was used to lose about an hour and a half to get to the office and back. When I started thinking about how much time I was wasting each week and then each year, I felt bad. Then I had the opportunity to take over the refuge where I currently work and I took it right away. Since I made this decision, I am really happy, I have zero second thoughts and I would make the same choice right away. You are a mom, how do you manage sports, work and a child? Undoubtedly, you must know well how to organize everything. As women, if we work outside home, we always take our family with us. During summer my kid stays here with me in the refuge and I have girls who help me out with her. During the winter I was lucky enough to also find facilities, such as baby parking, where I can leave her for half a day in order to train, while we can spend the rest of the time together.

you got by radically changing your life? I currently value my life and what I am doing more, because I know what it means not to be able to do it. I have always played sports in the past but with very limited hours. The working hours I had were quite comfortable, but in any case I always found myself living in a rush, precisely because I tried to make the most out of every minute I had. For example, I used the lunch break to train, but it wasn't very comfortable. Now, however, even if I always have relatively tight times with the child, I am very happy and I can organize myself freely. You have been an athlete of Team Vibram for a long time and you also collaborate into product tests giving useful advice for the development of soles for ski mountaineering, how do you feel with their products? Vibram is a beautiful company that I love to collaborate with. They are very active, present and above all available with us athletes. Many of their soles are present on the products of the La Sportiva collection, another of my sponsors, and that’s create complete products suitable for all the activities I do: from skialp to running. As for me, I use for ski mountaineering boots with a sole made with Vibram Litebase technology, a particular technology that makes it 30% lighter than a traditional sole and 50% finer, but giving me the same performance as before. The sole in ski mountaineering is subject to very precise regulations, it must guarantee the safety we need as athletes, in addition to traction on the snow and grip on

passages on rock but it must not weigh a gram too much and with Litebase the goal is fully achieved. Furthermore, the Stratos V boot is really excellent, precise and sensitive even when turning, the foot does not move and allows you to have full control on the ski. Another product that I particularly liked to test were the new bike pedals made by Vibram in collaboration with Look. By training on a bike, I am lucky enough to spend even more time with my daughter, so I mounted them right away and I must say that they are excellent and even with normal shoes they do not slip thanks to the excellent Vibram grip. I really liked them in every situation. Any future project? Unfortunately, everything is uncertain now, I don't know what the future will be like. This current situation made me change a lot of the future projects that I had imagined, for example I wanted to do one more year of competitions at a high level, but unfortunately at the moment it is not known whether there will be races or not. I hope to be able to do what I promised myself to, but out of luck I never say what my goals are, of course I would like to have another good season as soon as possible. A last word? In my life I have risked leaving the certain for the uncertain. I'm not saying everyone should do the same, but if someone truly believes in what he does or in what he loves, I always suggest to pursue his dreams, because life is only one and it must be lived at the fullest.

What are the benefits, both mental and physical and maybe even from an organizational post of view, that

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SKIS. In a market that is becoming bigger and bigger, it is every day more complex to choose the right skis for your needs. Each company now has its own touring and freeriding line, with different options for every type of use or skier’s need. To every need corresponds a ski that satisfies it, so the first thing to understand is what you really need, trying to distinguish fashion from quality and, above all, trying to understand what your real needs are and which are the needs that the market dynamics led you to think.

Wider is better? Taking inspiration from the snowboard world, which thanks to its surface floats very well in fresh snow, and with the development of off-piste skiing, companies have begun to produce ever wider skis with which to reproduce the feelings of surfing with the board. Years ago knowing how to master very long skis was synonymous with skill, now using wide models means being a freerider and part of a community. However, how good is it to have wide skis, say 100mm upwards? The width of the ski depends a lot on the physicality of the skier: a small and light person, for example, will float easily with a 90-95mm model even in deep snow, while he will have difficulty manoeuvring an excessively wide ski which will therefore be not very fun. Floating, in fact, is not determined only by the width of the ski but by the construction and the ratio between the weight of the skier and the surface. For this reason, when choosing your ski model, we recommend that you consider your body type, your training and the places where you usually ski. If you live

54

in the Apennines or you need a ski that is suitable for everything, from touring outings to freeriding days, don’t overdo in width but aim for versatility.

How to choose the right length The length of the skis is always a hot topic and mistaking the size of your model leads to not being able to make the most of it. On what to base your choice? The important thing to understand is always what will be the field of use of the ski. If you are looking for a model to train and go fast uphill, you will need to buy a ski lower than your height, let’s say that it reaches your chin. With such a length it will be easier to take u-turns uphill, while downhill it will be necessary to go a bit in conservation. If you practice free touring oriented to ski mountaineering, a ski of your height or slightly higher will be fine, while for freeriding, models up to 10-15 centimeters more than your height are suitable. A useful way to understand what a particular ski is aimed at is to study the dimensions given by the company: there are steep models that are not built longer than 180 centimeters and that are good for tall skiers, or freeriding skis whose length minimum exceeds 170cm and which are very manoeuvrable and usable even by people of small height.

Weight and construction Who wouldn’t want a lightweight ski for climbing but perfect for descending in all conditions? Although many skis try to achieve this goal, however the lightweight/performance ratio is more complex than it may seem and, all in all, we believe that the best


LENGTH

NOSE WIDTH

compromise for those who practice touring to enjoy a good skiing in powder lies in the middle: low weight and mixed construction, with wood core and possibly carbon inserts. An excessively light ski, in general, risks being very flexible and not behaving very well at high speeds, but on the other hand, if you are not very well trained and reach the summit tired from having carried too many kilos, you will not be able to better manage the descent. For the weight of the skis it is therefore not only important to know in advance how much height difference you will do during the season, but also what kind of skier you are: are you very trained and you like to ski at full speed with few turns? A ski over 1700 grams per axle can be fine. Do you like to face medium to long trips and want a solid and responsive model? You should choose a ski around 1300-1400 grams. Do you wear skis only for the climb? There are carbon skis that weigh around 1000 grams, if not less.

WAIST

Although these are general advices, there are many other features of the ski in addition to the weight that determine the best range of use: construction, shape, rocker, camber and more. So our dispassionate advice is to pay attention to the weight, but do not condition your choice mainly based on this. Did you know that there are skiers with 1kg models who load their backpack with a lot of useless material? So when you pay attention to the 200 grams more or less on your skis, think about how much the food you bring or how much the rest of your gear weighs.

ARMADA TRACER 98 The flagship model of Armada’s Tracer Line is an all mountain solution that aims (and achieves) a simple goal: having fun. The Armada Tracer 98 is a ski designed to offer all mountain versatility and reliability. Two peculiarities are immediately noticeable on fresh snow as well as on beaten snow, where it is fast and agile thanks to the construction of the edges. Its vocation remains oriented to touring and freeriding, the ideal snow condition to fully enjoy its qualities: the EST All Mountain Rocker system in fact guarantees a happy balance between floatation and manoeuvrability, which is truly remarkable in our opinion. The speed and lightweight of the Tracer 98 stimulate the skier to reach the limits of the tool but the result remains the same: you will have the impression of having under your feet a model designed to have fun, even if probably not optimal for high speeds. The sudden changes of direction between the trees are extremely facilitated by its construction, it is also performing when tackling challenging descents full of bumps or characterized by different consistencies of snow. A final note on the lightest average weight in its category: skins and ski mountaineering bindings are a happy option for the Tracer 98, a true all mountain companion.

ATOMIC BENT CHETLER 100 Versatile model that guarantees satisfying skiing in all conditions and for all skiers, from the most experienced to the less talented. The Atomic Bent Chetler 100 entered its famous line in 2018/2019, immediately acquiring an excellent reputation, and this season it returns virtually unchanged, making the fans of this ski happy. Among a sea of new technologies and materials, the Bent Chetler 100 remains pretty simple in its construction: Atomic uses its poplar Light Wood Core in a sandwich construction, which appears to be refreshingly simple. The profile of the ski is rocker/camber/rocker and, although it is indicated as a directional ski, it can also be considered a twin tip. Moving on to the test, the Atomic Bent Chetler 100 is an extremely versatile and fun model, which adapts without great effort to different uses and terrains: a true all mountain in the DNA. Works well off-piste, in the backcountry and why not, even on groomers for the speed and simplicity with which it is possible to pass from edge to edge. The Sidewall Dura Cap structure offers, in fact, a controlled power transmission and an impeccable edge grip. Manoeuvrable, fun, versatile, forgiving: perhaps the most interesting feature is that it is a ski for a very wide range of skiers. You don’t have to be super talented to use it, but the better you are, the more you will use it. It features a low weight for a freeride ski but not that low for a touring ski, but if you are not too picky about the lightness issue, it can be mounted with a versatile binding such as the Shift and can be used for backcountry outings. You will have to work a little harder, but in the end you will have a lot of fun going downhill. If you are not lucky enough to find powder, the ski remains safe and stable even on hard and crusty snow.

BLACK CROWS ATRIS 184.2 When fresh snow calls, Atris responds with a combination of floatation and maneuverability that will allow to enjoy every “free” terrain. Black Crows’ Atris features as its own characteristic a versatility that sets it apart from other models in the Freeride line of the brand, some more oriented to powder (such as Anima and Nocta), others to manoeuvrability (Corvus). This is evident from the balance that is found from the first descents between buoyancy and reactivity, a perfect synonym of its versatility. It is a model that aims to entertain the rider. It is able to provide a good response in case of aggressive and high speed skiing thanks to the camber under the feet, but also to guarantee at the same time a considerable float due to the rocker on the tip and tail (together with the 108mm under the feet). This combination of peculiarities also allows you to face without fear jumps and landings typical of the backcountry, which are the soul of the “game” for some of the most advanced freeriders. As soon as we tested its reactivity, we noticed a pleasant feedback: the feeling of having excellent control of the tool and good stability, without fear of deep snow. Summarizing our impressions and our thoughts on the model: Atris is a ski that could basically be defined all mountain, with good control in powder despite not having the generous dimensions of other models, but for this reason is also ideal for situations where it is more important to have a quick response to directional changes and a more freestyle approach than just descending on fresh snow.

If you’re looking for the right model for a perfect day in the backcountry, you’ve got the ski that’s right for you. It ensures lightweight in the ascent phase and excellent performance for an exciting descent. Blizzard engineers personally test the prototypes in the Austrian Alps, meeting all the situations that every skier faces, in order to study a perfect shape for any freeriding adventures.

Some people make the impossible possible, but you need the right skis to do it. Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison know something about this, they used this model for the first time they left their mark on Lhotse Couloir, one of the most majestic peaks in the Himalayas (8516m). Even if your adventure is a little closer to home, it doesn’t mean that you have to give up pro performance and enjoy the same benefits of stability and grip on snow.

The thinnest and lightest of the skis in this collection, a record that makes it ideal for adventures that require a certain amount of altitude difference. Super low weight, considering the width of this ski. Very solid downhill performance made possible by Carbon Drive 2.0 and Blizzard’s Austrian engineering. Shape and weight are therefore expressed in the best way, allowing you to enjoy every next adventure that awaits you.

BLIZZARD ZERO G 105 Aggressive, lightweight, capable of giving strong emotions. The Blizzard Zero G 105 are the skis for the most demanding freetourers. With its Zero G series, Blizzard has entered the free touring segment, bringing a revolutionary concept to ski enthusiasts. Lightweight, structured, performing: the Zero Gs are all linked by a common thread but each size is a ski in itself. The Blizzard Zero G 105, the widest in the series, is a backcountry ski that combines lightness on the ascent with high performance on the descent. The core is made of lightweight paulownia wood, built for maximum performance, which is combined with Carbon Drive 2.0, a 3D geometry in unidirectional carbon fiber. Moving onto skiing, the Blizzard Zero G 105 are versatile skis that work well in all conditions, even if they give strong emotions especially on powder. They work well at all speeds and on all slopes, even on steep, but encounter some limitations in wide turns on crusty snow. Ideal for demanding and prepared skiers, not for beginners: skiing is not immediate and requires a correct setting. So if you are an expert user the Blizzard Zero G 105 skis will be versatile and manoeuvrable, and on the right feet they will allow you incredible curves. Thanks to their weight they can be used on long tours and trips in search of the perfect snow on unexplored slopes. But if you don’t find it, it doesn’t matter because you haven’t brought who knows what weight with you and the descent will still be fun. In the end, we recommend these skis to aggressive skiers willing to get away from the resort looking for good snow and ready to draw perfect lines.

DYNAFIT BLACKLIGHT PRO 172 A skialp ski conceived and designed to respond in the most complete way to the greatest need of athletes: speed. Weight reduced to a minimum, stability and competition performance are the characteristics of the Blacklight Pro by Dynafit, that tries to satisfy professional ski mountaineers who want to climb as fast as possible. It is no coincidence that with this model Benedikt Böhm completed the ascent to the top of Dhaulagiri VII (7.246m, Nepal) in just 6 hours and 6 minutes, starting from base camp (with subsequent descent on skis). Speed is also the basis of the Pin-Skin fixing system (winner of an ISPO Gold Award) which allows, thanks to a special pin with an insert, to save time in attaching the skins and to save additional weight (essential for those who compete). The difference in terms of speed is truly impressive compared to traditional skins fastening systems, seeing is believing. The 3D structure of the ski and the rocker construction manage, in spite of the minimal weight that normally does not help when going downhill, to guarantee good reactivity in downhill directional changes, allowing you to tackle even inaccessible and icy slopes. The descent is therefore stable and reliable, well supported by the energy transmission delegated to the lateral ABS, but it is obviously the agility in the ascent (and you know that the climbing speed is everything for the skialpers) to represent the focus of the Blacklight Pro and we can guarantee you on its high performances.

DYNASTAR M-VERTICAL 88 The Vertical 88 stands out for its lightweight and agility, a combination designed specifically for ski mountaineers who emphasize the term “mountaineering”. To create the Vertical line Dynastar actively collaborated with the athlete and guide Vivian Bruchez: the declared goal was to create a ski capable of satisfying ski mountaineers who want to enjoy the freedom of the wildest mountain environment without compromising on level of performance. Our impression is that they have achieved what they set out to do. The Vertical 88 specifically combines very well the more purely ski mountaineering characteristics (such as reduced width in the center and lightness to climb quickly) with a construction designed to facilitate the descent and the approach to changes of direction. Let’s go more into the specs to understand from a technical point of view how this is possible. The pauwlonia core and the innovative basalt reinforcements are the basis of the overall low lightness of the model: the type of wood and its density are in fact ideal for reducing the general weight, as is the basalt which, compared to the more classic glass, offers the same mechanical properties (together with a shock absorbing capacity that surprised us a lot) but with several grams less. The manoeuvrability and the downhill management of the model is assured by several technical aspects: the rocker profile at the tip, for example, facilitates curves allowing you to work with the entire length of the edges, while its construction helps to improve tightness and precision.

ELAN RIPSTICK 96 Maximum versatility on all terrains: this is how the Ripstick 96 ranks among the best all mountain skis. Elan’s unique combination of construction concepts results in a ski that effectively stands out from the tide of all mountain skis on the market. How? The three-dimensional carbon fiber provides a responsive and energetic feeling, while ensuring greater stability and vibration damping than two-dimensional carbon applications. As for geometry, Elan uses an asymmetrical shape with more rockers along the outer edge and camber along the inner edge, designed to provide ample edge grip, while providing an entering into curves smoother and easier and increasing the overall versatility of the ski for different terrains and different curve shapes. The Ripstick 96, and the rest of the collection, is incredibly light compared to most skis in the all mountain category, and for this reason it can also be used for free touring. We found it easy and pleasant in powder and beyond, thanks to the excellent twist that makes the ski reliable on hard snow. It is therefore a versatile and accessible model, which can be underestimated at first glance, but once tried gives excellent feelings. The Elan Ripstick 96 ski will satisfy a wide range of different skiers, from the less aggressive to the more experienced, who will not be disappointed. Its shape allows for tremendous off-piste manoeuvrability, but has enough torsional stiffness to pull nice high-speed curvers even on groomers. What more could you want from an all mountain ski?

FACTION AGENT 3.0 For freetourers who face and enjoy every descents, the Faction Agent 3.0 will become their favorite all-rounder. Last year Faction introduced a new line of skis, the “Agent” series, designed for light free touring. This year a 106 ski under the foot also enters the line, the Agent 3.0, which, according to the company, “really has everything you need” starting from the light caruba wood core, a progressive shape, high tech carbon, well balanced flex and rocker designed to perfection. The Faction Agent 3.0 is easy on the uphill and at the same time performing both in the deepest powder, and in less enjoyable terrain. In our opinion it could be the most interesting ski this year for free touring, especially for its versatility in downhill. Despite being among the softest among Faction skis, the Agent 3.0 is quite stiff, when compared to similar skis from other brands. For this reason it requires a certain familiarity if you want to make the most of its abilities. And we assure you, there are many of those. Of course, although with its 1740 grams it is one of Faction’s lightest skis, it is not an ultra light model, and the skier who prefers to work a little harder but push hard downhill will be the happiest rider on these skis. It is a stable ski, with which setting the curve is easy but then you have to keep pushing to close it with dignity. Indeed, if you want a ski with which you can push a little hard0er, the Faction Agent 3.0 unfolds its full potential. For those not focused solely on weight, Agent 3.0 is an excellent all-rounder: from short trips to longer crossings, from resorts to exploratory trips.

FISCHER TRANSALP 90 CARBON A versatile and solid ski for ski touring in the Alps. Lightweight and solid. For this winter the Fischer Transalp Carbon got bigger: two millimeters more under the foot but unchanged weight. Sounds like a joke right? But it’s not. With 1230 grams per ski it will satisfy skiers looking for a model that is light enough, fun and at a reasonable price. The Fischer Transalp 90 Carbon allows you to ski on different types of snow remaining stable and reliable. Carbon Tex technology not only makes it light but also resistant: vibrations are significantly reduced even at high speeds. The ski consists of a wood core combined with ABS sidewalls in a classic Sandwich construction, for a harmonious flex and good rebound. At the level of sensations The Fischer Transalp 90 Carbon is very manoeuvrable and easy to use: it does not require great effort when cornering and supports the transmission impressed by the skier. On powder snow, and firn it is a playful ski, but although it performs well at medium speeds, it is not a model for those who interpret the slope with the fewest possible curves and at full throttle. On crusty snow it has limits as it is normal for a light ski with a carbon construction, but compared to other skis of a similar concept the Titanal reinforcement guarantees good stability on descents. On powder you can use it and have fun, but it is on solid spring snow that it shines for its qualities, with excellent stability and edge grip. Versatile enough, we also recommend it for steep skiing, but especially for those who want to stay light with a respectable wide model under their feet.

K2 WAYBACK 96 Light, accessible, fun: the K2 Wayback 96 is perfect for those who are not really beginners, but have decided to get involved. Those who already know it love it to the point of disinteresting about the construction. Lightweight paulownia core, carbon fiber and Titanal laminate specially developed for K2 Touring skis that greatly increases predictability and damping on lightweight carbon constructions, while improving stability and edge grip. Regarding the use of carbon in skiing, the company does not release information. Would you like to know more? Use it. We found this model to be very easy to handle and docile on all types of terrain and conditions. Its lightweight is also transmitted in skiing, which is pleasant and fun without worrying too much about setting the curves “like a pro”. The K2 Wayback 96 is responsive and despite being very versatile it retains a certain character. In terms of weight/accessibility/fun compromise, it is among the best on the market. It loses a bit at high speeds, but being an evolutionary ski for beginners and intermediates, it’s not a big problem. Designed for free touring, it reacts well on all types of snow, even on the transition to crusty snow. If we had to give you 3 adjectives to describe it we would say that it is solid, accessible and playful. Do you need anything else? We recommend the K2’s Wayback 96 to those who want to expand their playground in free touring and to evolving skiers who can have fun and learn with this ski at the expense of safety and pleasure of descending. We ended up thinking that there will be a good reason if K2 keeps the use of carbon in the ski top secret. What interests us is that the result is more than convincing!

K2 MINDBENDER 99TI Flexible and manoeuvrable, it is the perfect ski for the intermediate skier who prefers aesthetics of the line to speed. For those who have followed K2 for years, it is important to start with a clarification: the Mindbender series replaces the well established Pinnacle. In the Mindbender collection we therefore find directional freeride skis made to “dominate” the mountain in all its forms. Moving on to the specific of the ski we tested, but continuing with the information, Ti stands for Titanal, used in construction along with a maple and poplar wood core. The Titanal delivers precision to the tip of the ski, power underfoot and stability in the tail, all while maintaining the manoeuvrability and drift control needed for freeride. The precision cut of the Titanal into a ‘Y’ shape alters the torsional stiffness of the ski, maintaining a balanced and uniform flex pattern that provides controlled power throughout the length of the model. But if you prefer more feelings than words like us, let’s see how it behaves. Entering a turn is easy and the ski responds well to impulses and to a quick change of edge. Despite the weight it is well manoeuvrable, even better than lighter and shorter skis. The double rocker, very accentuated in the tip and weaker in the tail, guarantees perfect float despite not being among the widest in the freeriding sector. Stable and safe even at high speeds, it performs well on both powder and hard snow. Perfect for medium-advanced skiers looking for a versatile and reliable ski for off-piste days, which remains fun even on the beaten track, between one run and another. For ski touring it is a bit too heavy, with its 2050 grams per ski.

LINE VISION 98 A versatile solution to face different types of “environment” without fear and without compromise, from ski touring to backcountry. Vision 98 is a ski designed by Line to offer versatility on different types of snow. In fact, thanks to its technical features, it is able to excel during touring thanks to a truly remarkable lightness and in the backcountry, without losing its effectiveness on the beaten snow on groomers (mainly due to the construction and the lack of width). The heart of its construction (and lightness) is the THC technology, or Triple Hybrid Construction: the paulownia and maple wood core is joined by aramid, carbon and fiberglass, three elements that, when laminated together, are able to guarantee a really even feeling underfoot. The result is a truly surprising handling when tested on different types of snow, as well as a torsional stiffness that seems almost contradictory to the remarkable lightweight of the Vision 98: we can therefore say that the weight/force ratio is truly remarkable. The stability, power transmission and control of the tool (which contributes to the absorption of vibrations due to the Sidewall Construction in polyethylene and the camber under the feet) that we have found have not deprived us in any way of the fun on fresh snow. The profile of the Vision 98 is in fact specifically designed to offer the best in powder, with an optimal float guaranteed by the directional shape and the rocker in the tip and tail, which make skiing more manageable in curves.

MAJESTY SUPERWOLF CARBON A truly versatile carbon ski, capable of giving satisfaction both in large powder gradients and on shorter, steeper and more technical lines. A ski designed for both classic ski touring and advanced touring and open mountain. Its structure and radius confirm this, making it stable at high speed and manoeuvrable in confined spaces. A technologically advanced ski, both in the construction itself and in the use of materials. Starting from the core we find the ultralight but resistant paulownia wood. For the coating the Superwolf Carbon abandons the fiberglass in exchange for a lighter carbon laminate and consequently a lower weight. Tip rocker, early rise low tail, semi cap construction. Why is it so versatile? Thanks to a longer contact profile able to offer greater overall control of the tool. A camber that offers agility and responsiveness, effective power transmission and a smooth ride from profile to profile. A multifaceted ski capable of ensuring ultra-light and at the same time safe and stable performance. Able to make the hardest climbs shorter, and at the same time give unsurpassed control and manoeuvrability for skiing in complete safety. It is also worth noting that Majesty produces many of its skis in both “standard” and carbon versions. The Superwolf Carbon that we tested could prove to be the ideal touring ski for those who appreciate climbing efficiency but do not need the lightest possible setup at all costs. For those who want to climb agile without having to give up the fun of the descent.

MOVEMENT AXESS 86 The Axess is the ideal choice for all skiers looking for a model that combines performance, comfort and safety on all types of high mountain terrain. The Swiss company Movement has developed a mountaineering ski for 2020 with a new geometry concept: the Axess. The goal was to provide great adaptability on any terrain, thanks to a new tip shape that could make the ski faster and more agile when climbing in deep and wet snow, while also maintaining excellent grip on hard snow and difficult terrains. Now let’s move on to the actual test to see if the company has achieved the desired results. From the Axess range we tried the 86, an excellent size for high mountain ski mountaineering, the skis in fact weigh 1280 grams and perform perfectly uphill, even in wet snow. The construction of the skis is in two carbon axes, and this, in addition to making it light, also ensures resistance to sudden changes in temperature that occur in high mountains and which tend to change the structure of the ski over time. In our opinion, the Movement Axess 86 is an excellent high mountain ski model, suitable for free touring and powder snow at the same time. Obviously, the wider sizes perform better in fresh snow and make skiing more fun: but the 86mm underfoot is a complete, versatile and safe ski, that you will happy to have with you on almost any occasion. We recommend it to those who love to climb with skins and take long spring trips at high altitude, where conditions are very variable.

OPERA ART 125 Modern, elegant and versatile: skis for true mountain lovers. The Made in Italy excellence is combined with a modern and versatile ski concept with which you can overdo it both off and on the slopes. The Opera Art 125 are “almost” twin-tip skis, for use that varies from freeriding to freestyle. The width in the center makes these skis dynamic and floating in powder and multipurpose on difficult snow. Built with a poplar and ash core and reinforced with linen and carbon fibers, the Opera Art 125 with their 1970 grams are multipurpose skis and capable of giving you an all-round fun. According to the Friulian company, it is not the individual materials that determine the quality of a ski, but the perfect harmony of all those used, and we can say with certainty that in the Art 125, as in the entire range of Opera, the combination of materials is very successful. In this model the tip and tail rockers are combined with central camber, making the skis soft and surfable, easy to manoeuvre both in powder skiing and in jumps, with great stability when cornering and during landing. They also work well on the slopes: that’s why they can be excellent resort skis to use as you prefer. To enjoy them, however, you must be skilled, they are not everyone’s skis, but even as a concept they do not aim at a large audience. In short, they are skis for a few people, but that really do everything. In their being handcrafted skis and made with a passion and experience out of the ordinary, the Opera Art 125 are real snow jewels. To be used and not just to be showed off.

ROSSIGNOL BLACKOPS ALPINEER 86 Reliable and manageable, the Blackops Alpineer does its job wonderfully. After the great success of its 7 series in freeriding, Rossignol decided to devote itself to the touring segment three seasons ago with the Blackops Seek which today becomes Blackops Alpineer, completely redesigned but which maintains the characteristics that have made Rossignol skis very popular off the slopes. Rossignol Blackops Alpineer weighs like its predecessor (1250g), but let’s see what has changed in these touring skis. Lightweight paulownia core and ABS Air Tip technology for good manoeuvrability without compromising performance: ultra-light construction is combined with vibration damping technology for an agile and progressive descent. The Rossignol Blackops Alpineer 86 uphill are a pleasure but downhill do they work as well as their predecessors? It is a very easy ski to handle, and in slow and gentle turns it is pleasant and very easy to tame. While it makes long-radius turns very easy, it leaves something to be desired when changing directions at high speed. The Rossignol Blackops Alpineer is a soft and manageable ski, even on difficult snow. In fresh snow, even if they are not very wide, they work well, and on steep slopes they are very stable and have excellent edge grip. Being very light, they can be lifted and rotated with agility: when you land again after a jumped turn there is no need to rebalance. They are present, without being paralyzing. Solid and lively without ever putting you in difficulty, they are excellent touring skis, appreciated both by those who need to rely on an easily manageable ski, and by those who want to face complex terrains.

SALOMON QST 106 The most versatile of the QST line: fun and never too demanding. A true all-around ski. A Salomon freeriding classic, the QST 106 has been subtly modified and redesigned this year. With an unfailing mix of flotation and power, the QST 106 is perfect for skiers who want to cover a wide variety of terrains and conditions with one ski. In the 2020 version, the model has become lighter and more manageable, characteristics that in fresh snow tests have performed at their best, giving us the impression of a fun but reliable ski in all situations. At the tip and tail a percentage of cork has been added to have a lower oscillation weight and, above all, to significantly reduce vibrations. Skiing, with this change, seemed more “tame” and less nervous when snow is no longer the “powder of life”. Skiing is easy and intuitive, with smooth cornering and quick edge-to-edge transition. Ultimately the Salomon QST 106 seemed to us a really fun and incredibly versatile model for a ski over 100mm wide under the foot. There isn’t much it can’t do: from curves on the beaten track to backcountry rides, and everything in between. It can be mounted with a fixed binding, for use on and off the slopes, but also with a hybrid binding such as the Salomon Shift, so that nothing gets lost in terms of transmission downhill but also away from the resort with the skins under the skis if you want. Although it is not very light (but still lighter than its predecessor) it is also very practical uphill. We recommend it for those who want a reliable and playful all-rounder. It performs best in a length of 5-10cm more than your height.

SCOTT SUPERGUIDE 88 A light and reliable ski in the most extreme adventures, but not only: it also knows how to be playful when you need it. Available from autumn 2020, the new Scott Superguide 88 are the narrowest of the line, dedicated to steep skiing and technical climbs. The new version of this ski is totally different from its predecessor, both in terms of concept and construction and geometry. In the new Scott Superguide 88 the tip rocker has been increased as the construction method which now combines an ultralight Paulownia wood core (which makes the ski even lighter than before) with beech reinforcements in the central part and a longitudinal insert in aramid/carbon from tip to tail. This type of construction, in our opinion, made the Scott Superguide 88 more stable and with excellent grip. What really surprised us is how light a ski is when climbing but which loses nothing in reliability and fun when going downhill depending on the situation. On fresh snow it is a playful and lively ski, while on hard and steep snow it never betrays you. It is not an indulgent ski: even if cornering is soft and easy, if you don’t handle it correctly, the tip tends to oversteer slightly. The fastening system and relative release of the skins seemed to us easy and fast, which should not be underestimated when you are on challenging terrain. And it is precisely the technical and the demanding terrain that in our opinion makes the features of these skis “shine”. The Scott Superguide 88 is a ski for those who like to look for challenging descents in which conditions are variable and uncertain, less suitable for those who only go out when 20 centimeters of fresh snow have just fallen.

ZAG UBAC 95 Light and fun, ideal when looking for the perfect snow. This ski renewed last year, for this winter it comes out essentially the same but with a new color. With only 1290 grams per ski (size 174), it is a perfect ski for free touring and for long trips in search of the perfect snow. Low weight, buoyancy and modern shape works great in all backcountry conditions. As for the construction, the ski has a paulownia core combined with fiberglass and carbon fiber, which give it high torsional rigidity. In addition, the ABS sidewall makes the ski even more solid and reliable on hard snow. Although we already knew it, it was a pleasure to test it in its new version and we can confirm its lightweight, stability and ease of use thanks to the short radius shape. The reduced rocker both on the tip and on the tail, in fact, gives greater stability and allows an easy setting of the curve in all conditions. It is a ski that performs well and is a lot of fun on powder, even if at high speeds it has some limitations. The Zag Ubac 95 is a docile, trustworthy companion who very rarely betrays you. We recommend it for free touring enthusiasts who are looking for a light but fun ski, intermediate and advanced skiers who don’t want nasty surprises during longer and more demanding trips. Not being very rigid, it does not perform well on crusty snow, but chamoniards prefer to go looking for powder, even if this means skinning a little more. But with such a light and fun ski, we would exactly do the same.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SKI BINDINGS. The evolution of technology has truly changed the performance of ski touring bindings. The market is now very varied and you can find different types of ski mountaineering bindings, although perhaps the most interesting, also with regard to the evolution of materials and performance, are low tech ones. By the way, did you know why they are called in this way? In the 1980s, when Fritz Barthel invented the pin, everything had to be high tech to be successful, given the rise of the computer. In contrast to this concept, a binding with simple, light mechanics was born: this is how Barthel decided to call it “low tech”. In more than 30 years of evolution, binding companies have created products that are lighter and more performing both uphill and downhill. The market is full of alternatives, how to choose then?

Different types of bindings Starting from minimalistic and low weight models, we have low tech race bindings, between 100 and 300 grams for single binding, perfect for competitions, training and to be mounted on skis oriented to climbing performance. They are generally mounted without ski stoppers. Then we have the real low tech models that can now weigh from 300 to 700 grams: these are the classic ski mountaineering bindings, which now guarantee excellent downhill performances. Then there are hybrid bindings, such as the Marker King pPin and the Salomon Shift: these bindings ensure maximum safety when descending with a low weight. Finally there are the plate bindings: heavy but rock solid on the descent, these only make sense for short ascents and are more freeriding oriented than classic touring bindings.

94

Skistopper or leash? The choice of mounting the stopper or using the leash is a choice that can almost always be made regardless of the binding you buy. Of course, if you use a “race” binding it makes little sense to add weight with the stopper, while on a classic low tech binding for touring or free touring it does not change much in terms of weight and is very useful and safe. Imagine falling a steep descent and while you roll down you are left with the ski connected to the boot via the leash: it’s not that nice. It is often a question of habit but indicatively those who compete or practice conservative ski mountaineering prefer the leash. The aggressive freetourer, on the other hand, will prefer to have a ski stopper. When buying bindings with stoppers it is important to check their width, which changes according to the width of the ski under the foot.

DIN settings When buying a pair of ski touring bindings it is very important to check the range drop. One DIN is equivalent to approximately 12kg of force, which would be the force exerted by the boot during skiing. People who weigh less will have to buy bindings with low DIN, otherwise during a fall they will never release, and on the other hand those who weigh more will have to use bindings with high DIN, otherwise they will release at every turn. It is important to adjust the DIN when mounting the bindings.


Rampant holder Rampants are very useful tools when climbing on frozen snow, where the skins or the edges are not enough to guarantee a good grip. If you practice spring or high mountain ski mountaineering and are used to using rampants, it is important to check that the binding is equipped with a rampant holder. Almost all low tech bindings come out with an integrated slot.

Heel riser In low tech bindings, when climbing, the toe remains attached to the pins that pivot and allow walking movement, while the heel remains free. Depending on the climb, you can choose whether to use the heel riser or not: in some cases it facilitates the progression by straining the legs less. While “race” bindings generally only have one level of heel riser, there are others that have two, if not three. If you like walking uphill with the heel raised, before purchasing, check that the heel unit has the type of heel riser you are looking for.

Weight/performance ratio If in the past only the plate binding allowed a maximum safe and performing descent, in recent years technologies have developed a lot and we now see low tech bindings with reduced weight on the market. Today the conception that more weight means a better binding has been cleared. In this regard, we invite you to take a look at the latest bindings of this year that with a ridiculous weight guarantee excellent performance. Seeing is believing.

DYNAFIT SUPERLITE 150 A race binding reshaped for touring needs. Dynafit, with the Superlite 150 bindings, has managed for the first time to combine the needs and quality of the racing and touring world, with a model that only weighs 150 grams. The low weight is due to the aluminum construction, which leverages precious grams to go fast uphill but remains extremely responsive downhill. Uphill it is possible to choose, according to preferences and the field of use, between 4 walking modes. The side release range is very wide: it goes from 4 to 13 DIN, while the vertical release is adjustable but fixed. If you want to use this binding for touring it is possible to insert the stopper, which is sold separately together with the spring (the weight does not take these two elements into account), as well as the optional adjustment plate, with which we tested it. In our opinion, the field of use of the Dynafit Superlite 150 binding is training, light ski touring and also, why not, the world of competitions. It is a truly complete binding whose strong point is not only the lightness, even though the weight is extraordinary, but alzo amazes for its general behavior, both in fast climbs and in descents, not only to cross the finish line, but also to draw some lines and have fun on the snow. WE LIKE Lightweight and climbing performance. Reactivity downhill.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SKI BOOT In disciplines that are practiced with a tool such as skiing, snowboarding and cycling, when choosing the right gear people tend to focus more on the tool itself, putting the rest in the background. In skiing, choosing the right model for your needs remains of fundamental importance, but in this short guide we also want to emphasize the boots, which if wrong can ruin a day and, in the worst case, an entire season. It is clear that, with the exception of mountain professionals (instructors, mountain guides, etc.), those who ski only a couple of days a week will realize perhaps too late that they have made a mistake in purchasing their ski boots. However if used with care they can last several seasons, so it is good to choose them with the utmost attention. It is precisely through the feet, and therefore from the boots, that energy is transmitted on the skis, for this and many other reasons it is not only necessary to think about the comfort of the fit (although it is fundamental) but about many other features. Let’s go through them together.

The fit After having admired the boots you want to try, the fit is the first thing you notice when you put your foot in the shoe and in the shell. Each model has its own fit which can be narrow, medium or wide. From the information that companies give about their models, this data can be obtained from the number of millimeters between the metatarsals: a value below 100mm generally indicates a tight fit. When buying a pair of boots it is good to know your MP (Mondopoint) number, which, unlike the standard numbers that are used for footwear and can fit differently from company to company, is an infallible and equal system for everyone and takes into account the exact centimeters of the insole inside the boot. Once you know your MP number it will be hard to go wrong. As for the feelings that you get when you put the boot on, it is important that in skiing position you have a little space in the toe once you place yourself with your legs extended. On the side, however, the boot must be right, neither too tight so as not to cause tingling, nor too wide so that the foot can rotate inside. A boot with the wrong fit can nullify all the efforts you make to ski correctly.

102

A weight/stiffness compromise For those who practice ski mountaineering and all its derivations, the weight you carry on while climbing is of fundamental importance, as the performance of the boot on the descent. A race boot with a carbon cuff won’t be as stiff and solid as a Grilamid cuff, just to name one. For touring, many brands are now developing more and more boots that stay “in the middle”, with a reduced weight but with an excellent downhill behavior, ideal for all those audiences that don’t just count the meters of altitude gained during an outing with skins, but which sees the climb as a necessary means to enjoy descents away from the crowds. When you understand what you will use a boot for, you can choose something that suits your needs, taking into account the weight and flex. For lovers of “rigid” models almost all brands now offer a touring boot with a 130 flex.

Liners and thermoforming Thinking about how many components create the ski boot, will make your head turns. Shell, cuff, sole, liner. What should you pay attention to when buying a pair of boots? The shoe is generally produced by partner companies that use increasingly sought-after technologies. The closing system of the liner is certainly important to shape it around your foot, as is the possibility of customization through thermoforming. A boot that does not feel “right” during the first outings, can become like a glove after thermoforming. Before thermoforming the boot, however, we recommend using it for a few outings in order to warm it with your foot, and only then practice the thermoforming. Moreover, after a few years, it must be redone.

Tech inserts and mobility The tech insert for ski mountaineering was a revolution and now all boots are equipped with it, even some freeriding models. It will therefore be difficult for you to find yourself buying ski mountaineering boots that do not have them. On the other hand, one thing to keep in mind for the performance of the boot when climbing is the cuff motion degree. As with the flex, it is a question of compromise: how much are you willing to struggle uphill for a full speed descent?

It became part of the Hoji family last year and was born as a freeriding and free touring boot, but unlike the Hoji Pro Tour model and thanks to a special modification on the toe and heel, it is compatible with all kinds of alpine ski bindings. This makes it a very versatile boot and can be used from freeriding with lifts, up to touring with mountaineering skis. The rigidity of this model has been improved (flex 130), the fit is a little tighter and the adjustable Hoji Free Liner makes this model the indisputable choice for those who want to practice free touring without having to sacrifice anything downhill. The Dynafit Hoji Free welcome the foot in a precise and safe way, without being uncomfortable and allowing a controlled position downhill and a comfortable fit uphill, thanks also to its 55° motion cuff. The weight is low, about 1550 grams, but those looking for this boot to give the maximum downhill will certainly be strong enough to take it to the top of the most distant peaks and then draw courageous lines.

With 130 flex and a descent oriented PowerLite shell, the Mindbender 130 are versatile freeriding boots that can be used for both powder days with lifts and for “earn your turns” ones. The walk mode can be shifted through the Powerlock Spyne, which once pulled up allows a 50° cuff motion, making it quite easy to climb with the skins on. Once you reach the top you can tie up the boots with their 4 buckles. K2’s Mindbender 130 are solid freeride boots, which allow you to really push to the maximum. The fit is 98mm, therefore quite narrow, the weight is 1740 grams: neither light nor heavy. The K2’s Mindbender 130 are therefore excellent all mountain boots aimed more at freeriding, but which, if necessary, can be used to get away from the resort.

The shoe filters very well the roughness of the ground and lets you perceive the profile of the terrain, allowing the foot to work without stressful corrections. Talking about the tread, the Frixion Red compound with differentiated thickness profiles and not too pronounced lugs, adapts well to different types of terrain, preferring the dry and compact kind ones.

For freeriders who want to get away from the resort from time to time but have no intention of sacrificing anything during the descent. Designed for the modern freerider, the XT3 130 is Lange’s new boot for the backcountry. Since Lange decided to include a line of touring boots in its collection in 2012, great strides have been made in both ascent and descent. The XT3 comes out this year completely renewed with the promise of being lighter than the previous one and, despite the weight, perform even better downhill. With a weight of 1776 grams it fits in the middle of the freeriding touring category, where we find both lighter and heavier boots, using polyurethane in the shell and polypropylene in the cuff (while in the previous model the shell was in Grilamid). Let’s talk about feelings: the boot can be worn easily and it behaves very well uphill, not guaranteeing the mobility of a touring boot, but still remaining quite comfortable. Despite the weight reduction, it remains a very performing model downhill, with 4 buckles + strap for closure and a 130. In the end, the Lange XT3 130 are excellent boots for freeriders who sometimes want to venture away from the ski lifts.

SCOTT FREEGUIDE CARBON

CUFF MOTION 60° WEIGHT 1445G

Well-made all-round boot with great potential for excellent performance. The Freeguide Carbon are Scott’s new boots for the free touring segment, where the climb opens up its doors to incredible descents. The peculiarity of this boot is the carbon construction of the shell that offers a comfortable fit and a precise and powerful energy transmission during descent. With its 1445 grams, it is a very interesting model, for a varied use that includes medium-long climbs where good mobility and lightness are important, and aggressive descents where a structured boot is needed. Uphill mobility is given by the tongue divided into two parts which allows a 60° cuff motion. The liner is equipped with a Boa Technology closure that guarantees an easy and excellent adjustment of the boot before the descent. The lightweight construction buckles can be rotated at 180° in order to not disturb uphill when you prefer to keep the boot wider. In our opinion, the Scott Freeguide Carbon fits very well among the cousins of the other companies, with a low weight and a construction that guarantees easy ascents and descents at full speed, even on freeriding days.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR MOUNTAINEERING SHOES. Even for the mountaineer or hiker who climbs at high altitude, choosing the ideal shoe is never so simple. The most technical mountain footwear is designed to offer 360° support and protection, playing a fundamental role in terms of safety and performance. As well as soles characterized by stiffer and more performing compounds, reinforced uppers to resist rubbing against the rock, insulating materials that allow prolonged use on ice and snow.

What influences the choice of a mountain boot? The choice is deeply linked to the terrain, the environmental conditions and the context in which it is used. A suitable footwear must not only help the feeling of comfort, but above all contribute to increasing our safety. Lightweight, thermal insulation, impermeability and a good grip are essential features, without forgetting about support and protection of the ankle. To be as clear and simple as possible, we can make a distinction according to the different mountaineering activities.

Intermediate mountaineering The ideal shoe for this type of activity is very similar the classic imagery of the boot that we all remember, updated with the new technologies available. Structured and rigid at the right point, it offers support to the foot and protection to move safely on stony ground, passages on rock and crossing of snowfields, without sacrificing the necessary comfort to tackle multi-day treks. From the great glacier crossings to the 4000 meters Alpine ridges, they are ideal for those who are starting to climb in altitude and want to approach the world of mountaineering with a multi-purpose footwear for tackling mixed terrain. They are often compatible with semi-automatic crampons.

High altitude mountaineering It requires particularly technical, robust and reliable models, specifically designed to tackle high mountains and Himalayan expeditions. Their peculiarity is to guarantee excellent thermal insulation and a constant internal temperature. Often they are equipped with a removable inner shoe and gaiters with heat-sealed zippers as an additional barrier against water and snow. They also offer compatibility with

120

automatic crampons. A concentrate of high performance technologies and materials, dedicated to an elite of experts.

Icefalls and mixed climbing Climbing on ice and on mixed routes is certainly a delicate and highly technical discipline: progression requires the use of different equipment and dedicated crampons. The shoe must be precise, effectively block the heel and offer excellent protection from the cold. It must also be equipped with a specific midsole that makes it particularly stiff.

Approaching and via ferrata These shoes were created to meet the needs of those who dedicate themselves to rock climbing and via ferratas: light and agile in walking and climbing, often low on the ankle, generally equipped with a fit that enhances the sensitivity on the smallest supports, a lacing extended to the tip and a climbing zone on the sole to ensure adherence to rock. To all this we must add the comfort factor, which is fundamental in the phases of approaching and coming back from a route. Conceived for technical and expert users, they are increasingly appreciated by a wider audience for less exasperated uses.

In the end Once you have decided the use you want to make out of it (and in which season) you can move on to the evaluation of the different technical features. Each model has its own fit, and even if ideal for your needs, it may not be suitable for your foot. To avoid blisters and improve comfort, it is essential the choice of socks with differentiated structure, thick and protective in the toe and heel areas, thinner on the calf, elasticized on the plantar band to adhere perfectly and avoid annoying slips. Walk and evaluate the sensations of the foot, which must be sufficiently comfortable in the toe without feeling constrained. Try changing the lacing adjustment a few times. Evaluate the rigidity, or the flexibility of the sole, which depending on the type of use must allow or not the foot to flex inside the shoe. Don’t be afraid to ask for explanations or advices in the shop and from those who work on the mountain: they will help you find the right boot, ensuring safety and fun at high altitude.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR HIKING SHOES. When you decide to buy a pair of trekking shoes, you will find on the market a great amount of possibilities. It may seem trivial, but the first step is to ask yourself what your needs as a trekker are. Making the right choice first of all implies a focus on the type of activity you are going to practice.

the legs. Those who consider this type of boot exaggeratedly heavy and bulky can opt for the many mid versions on the market, whose height goes up to the ankle, finding an excellent compromise for excursions with medium or light loads on unpaved and uneven terrain.

What about winter? What kind of trekker am i? What kind of terrain will I walk on? How long and at what pace? How much will my backpack weigh? To choose the ideal shoe, it is essential to understand the use we want to make out of it. How often do I go trekking? How much experience do I have in this field? Your technical level will be essential to help you choose the right shoes.

Low cut or high cut shoes? Low cut shoes, generally more comfortable, light and flexible, allow greater freedom of movement of the ankle, favoring the natural movement of the foot. They are suitable for daily activities in the valley and for mid-mountain, simple trails, stable and uniform terrains. They also represent the choice of experienced and capable trekkers who want to move more dynamically and quickly on technical terrain. And more and more often they become faithful companions of the modern traveler. High cut shoes, on the other hand, protect the ankle, offering support and stability when it comes to tackling hiking trails characterized by a wide variety of technical, irregular and rocky sections. Based on their structure and rigidity, they can be more or less suitable for backpacking or multi-day excursions in a purely mountain environment. They are generally recommended as the only choice for those who are beginners and do not want to risk ankles injures or excessive fatigue on

130

Many manufacturers of trekking shoes and boots have chosen to equip their models with waterproof and breathable solutions. One above all is the Gore-Tex membrane positioned between the upper fabric and the inner lining that offers reliable protection to keep feet comfortable and dry, increasing warmth in harsh weather conditions and protecting the foot from moisture. Not necessarily you need to go for a waterproof membrane, but it’s a good advice. And if in case of dry weather or high temperatures a Gore-Tex shoe can be excessively hot, a leather model is a good alternative. Although heavier, the leather offers protection and breathability at the same time, making it comfortable and cool.

How to find the right fit? When you try new shoes, do it with the right calm. The best time of the day is in the afternoon, when the feet tend to swell. Trekking shoes should fit comfortably, without pressure points and chafing. They must wrap the foot without forcing it, ensuring a secure grip on the ground. Check the heel to make sure the back remains firmly in place. Between the tip of the shoe and the toes there should be a space corresponding to one finger of the hand. This aspect is very important in descents, in order to avoid collisions with the tip. Just in case, always try a half size more. In case of uncertainty or indecision, opt for the larger one.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR TRAIL RUNNING SHOES. Let’s debunk the myth: there is no such thing as the perfect trail running shoe. Or rather, there will be a perfect shoe for a certain runner and for a certain trail. Here we will take elementary concepts for granted, dividing the features that you will have to take into account based on a simple classification: the distance to be covered.

The first aspect to consider? Yourself First of all we must evaluate our characteristics, starting with the weight, the experience gained and the running technique. The general rules? The more you weight, the more cushioning you will need. Less weight and the more you can focus on lightweight and flexibility. Do you have an efficient pace or not? If the answer is yes, you will have to look for a responsive shoe with limited drop. If not, you will need a more structured shoe that stabilizes the stride.

Short distances shoes In this category we can include training sessions, short races, skyrace and vertical, where lightweight is everything. We don’t need a highly protective and cushioning shoe, as much as a precise fit, a reactive response, a medium-low midsole. The aim is to reduce energy expenditure and promote the feeling with the ground. A fast run, often characterized by the support on the forefoot, prefers a minor drop.

Which terrain will you run on? Among the external aspects that affect the choice of shoe there is the type of terrain you will face (or its characteristics). The best choice for any condition does not exist. Talking about the sole, we can find shoes that defend themselves well on all terrains but without distinguishing themselves on any in particular, or shoes that focus on a certain segment. The first case sees many ultra trail shoes as protagonists, designed to manage a multiplicity of terrains and meteorological variability. In the second case, there are shoes for a very specific use. Where soft and humid terrain prevails it will be better to opt for a sole with spaced and pronounced lugs to better face the ground and give greater traction. With a compact and rocky ground, instead, you will have to look for a harder and drier compound and a sole with lower and closer lugs, often with a square or hexagonal shape to ensure multidirectional traction.

Impermeability: yay or nay?

When we talk about medium distances we refer to lengths that tend to range from 30 to 50km. In this case, the choice of the shoe should be oriented towards flexibility, with a fairly light and reactive style, to face the easiest sections at a good pace, but sufficiently protective for the descent phases or the more technical sections. The recommended drop is a medium one, around 6mm, with a sufficiently cushioned midsole to withstand more hours of running and a comfortable, enveloping and secure fit.

As always, we need to understand in what conditions we will use the shoes. Waterproofing has the obvious advantage of keeping the foot dry on wet trails and in the rain, while making it less breathable. Traditionally, the use of waterproof membranes is not so welcomed by the running community as it adds weight and stiffens the shoe. To date, however, innovative technologies such as Gore-Tex’s Invisible Fit can solve these problems. These are exceptionally thin and light membranes. Finally, a waterproof shoe is warmer than a traditionally built model, which is an advantage in cold or humid climates, but makes it less suitable for a hot and sunny weather.

Long distances shoes

One final advice

For athletes aiming to run ultra distances, comfort and cushioning are of primary importance. Given the lower running speed, less protective and stable features are normally found, but still sufficient to support the foot covering the

Trust your instincts. When you try on a shoe, listen carefully to the sensations you feel: is there a point that creates discomfort in the foot or a particularly stiff seam? Run for a few kilometers and the feeling will only improve.

DYNAFIT ULTRA 100 GTX

SUPPORT TRACTION

Maximum cushioning for athletes who want to tackle long distances in all conditions. Waterproof version of the Dynafit shoe dedicated to ultra distances, ideal for tackling high-altitude trails in any weather condition. Ultra 100 GTX has an innovative look characterized by the Invisible Lacing-System, a special elastic net to contain the laces and prevent the entry of debris. The fit is particularly precise. The upper, thick and resistant, is completed with a polyurethane toecap that reduces the effects of shocks and a visible band, Heel Preloader, which wraps the heel counter, improving support, grip and fit on the rear foot. The midsole has an important structure (32mm below the heel) and a shape that makes it stable but able to move with ease without being clumsy or bulky. The cushioning is sufficiently active to allow a fluid and dynamic ride, with ample contact to the ground and a great ability to reduce bumps. If pushing on the forefoot, which is particularly flexible, you can feel the absorption of the rubber, while resting on the heel you have maximum confidence. The Pomoca tread features abundant tessellation with a multidirectional all-over pattern that favors running on compact surfaces. Good grip as a whole, even in particularly humid situations. The 6mm dynamic drop favors the preferences of many runners, proving to be an excellent compromise that can also accompany a rolled step. Ultra 100 GTX is a shoe designed for endurance that is all about cushioning, adapting to any type of athlete who wants to tackle very long distances. It has the ability to make light even the slowest and not very dynamic pace, useful when fatigue begins to prevail. The addition of a Gore-Tex membrane ensures feet are always dry, even in unstable and difficult conditions.

The new version of the Pegasus Trail 2 for the toughest weather conditions. Pegasus Trail 2 was a much anticipated shoe. The Gore-Tex Invisible Fit technology is now added to last summer’s model to offer waterproof protection in the colder seasons. The Pegasus Trail 2 GTX attracts from the first moment. The engineered mesh upper adapts perfectly to the shape and size of the foot. The Nike fit (one of the most faithful on the market) allows more space to the foot. The largely revised lacing system recalls the one of the Terra Kiger helping to improve the desired fit. The neoprene tongue, sewn into the upper part, pleasantly wraps the foot. The cage with medial overlays is specially designed to provide stability and containment support, at the expense of the heel, where the fake gaiter on the collar limits the access of debris, mud and water. The midsole, made in Zoom React foam, extends to the full length offering a perfect mix of responsiveness and cushioning. Ideal for smooth transitions, it fits very well the passages between asphalt, dirt roads and paths, with a good rebound effect. The support is balanced, it yields under the weight without being too soft. The characteristic tail shape on the back helps to give continuity to the roll during the descent. The rubber tread features a shock wave pattern, with a look inspired by bike tires and increased traction on the toe and heel. A versatile shoe, ideal especially for daily training and for those approaching the world of trail running for the first time. It confirms as an excellent crossover, giving its best on dirt and hard surfaces, not too technical or demanding. If you are a fan of sobriety there is also the total black model, but it would be a real shame to give up the pop colorway that enhance the shoes aesthetics.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR CLOTHING. Key words: versatility and functionality History teaches us that the time when you felt cold in the mountains is over. By now, you know, there is no longer good or bad weather but only good or bad equipment. However, some old school tips still apply and are very useful when you need to pack and evaluate a purchase. Choosing to have different layers with you can really make the difference in almost any outdoor activity: you will be ready for the sudden changes in conditions that are inevitable in the mountains, responding with the most appropriate garment for the context. Dressing in layers is a winning strategy.

Must have New trends to keep an eye on: versatile products with a multifaceted DNA, which combine an urban style with a more sporty one. Some companies offer the possibility to customize the garments according to your needs and, thanks to repair services, allow you to adjust technical products in order to extend their life cycle. In the wardrobe it is also good to have a selection of technical garments designed specifically for our outdoor activities that will allow us to raise the level of our performance in complete safety.

Sustainability A green approach begins during the brand selection phase: it is possible to select among the many sustainable brands, which follow strict CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) standards, verifiable thanks to the concrete initiatives carried out for the planet and for society, international indices and awards received by independent and authoritative bodies. It is important to check the labels of the clothes, from which we can have a lot of valuable information, for example to know if the product is PFC-Free. While it is true that natural materials are biodegradable (under certain conditions), on the other hand, natural resources are wasted and greenhouse gases are produced to realized them. Synthetic materials, on the other hand, are partly recyclable but are also at the origin of microplastics pollution. We must not be dogmatic in our

158

choices, otherwise we risk frustrating every effort. However, being informed is the minimum for those who think that Mother Nature should be respected. Fortunately, many outdoor brands are committed to ensuring the lowest possible environmental impact. The more you invest in sustainable clothing, the more you will help preserve our winters, which are already in serious danger.

Materials The materials that make up technical clothing can really make a difference, especially in terms of breathability and waterproofing: Gore-Tex and Polartec are brands of excellence that guarantee epic days and will keep you warm, protecting you from the elements. In addition to the more or less valuable material, there are several considerations not to be overlooked when choosing the outfit, which go beyond appearance but which can make you live more peaceful days.

Not only performance The clothing you choose will be your most important adventure companion, it is good not to forget that. In addition to the design and the aesthetic aspect, it is important to analyze the technical functionality, which will be the element that will allow you to push yourself to your limits, but also to protect and keep you safe. Wearing brightly colored clothes in the mountains, for example, often means being visible in poor visibility conditions and maybe having an extra chance of being saved. A color block look, with bright and vibrant colors, can be a wise decision.

Quality, quality, quality Sometimes it is worth paying a little more, especially when you reward quality. Choosing clothing that lasts over time avoids having to replace it every season, fueling the disposable consumerist system. Better to have few things, but good ones. Quality means being able to rely on a whole series of features that help raise the price but which could really be decisive in emergency situations: don’t always aim for savings.

Crazy, the meaning of “The original Fast and Light mountain clothing - since 1989”

Valeria Colturi was used to practice sports immersed in the beautiful landscapes in Bormio, and, in addition to concentrating on the discipline, she used to think about how all her team mates looked the same. Same uniforms, same fabrics, same colors. In 1989 Crazy Idea was born, to offer ski mountaineers garments that were at the same time different, unusual, but highly performing, always following the Fast & Light motto. This is its story.

“I was a cross-country skiing athlete, since childhood my dream has been to create clothing that was truly original to exceed the often inadequate and unimaginative standards that we were forced to use for our competitions. I opened a small boutique for sportsmen in Bormio. Athletes from all over Italy, cross-country nationals or friends of alpine skiing and short track, turned to me to design together products and innovations that did not yet exist for their sports. Crazy was born from here.

166

In those years the first mountain races were born: ski mountaineering in winter, skyrunning in summer. Speaking with the first champions of these disciplines, above all Fabio Meraldi, we realized that nothing on the market met the needs of athletes who ran in such hostile environments. They proposed me to invent something different.

I created an entire collection around this concept, when there was still nothing like it. Over time, many people have embraced this philosophy and a new category of products has been born with this inspiration.

So I created the first ski mountaineering suit in 1989 and the first skyrunning suit in 1990. I then continued to design and refine new and revolutionary products for these sports.

Crazy is the original, the first one! All my collection and all my products have always been designed following my Fast & Light approach. My team and I work every day to carry on this philosophy and find the next solution to improve the way we all experience the mountains.”

Then came my turning point: from the experience of the racing world and from the technical solutions that I had developed together with the athletes, I realised a new clothing could have been born to go to the mountains every day in a completely different way, for enthusiasts who want safety and speed, with suitable and performance-oriented garments.

Valeria Colturi Crazy founder

The Fast & Light concept was born.


La teoria dell’evoluzione della specie spiega che solo modificando le proprie abitudini si sopravvive. C’è un po di sci alpinista in essnzione, sei tra quess? L’inverno è finalmente arrivato è tempo di controllare l’aarezzatura e riorganizzare il tuo guardaroba! Anche tu hai notato che i capi che uulizzi per lo sci alpinismo lasciano spesso con un senso di inadeguatezza? Se anche tu soffri il caldo e sudi in salita come un cammello e poi quando finalmente sei in cima non godi la discesa perché il freddo e l’umidità sono entrate fin dentro le ossa, è tempo di ripensare completamente il tuo abbigliamento. Sai perché? Negli ullmi anni chi frequenta la montagna con gli sci da alpinismo

è sempre più esigente, competente e attento alle novità del mercato. Analizzare e capire esaaamente che po di sci alpinista sei è indispensabile per scegliere l’abbigliamento perfeeo per te. Lo sci alpinista in essnzione lo riconosci da come è vessto e da che aarezzatura uulizza, in due parole pesante e inuule. seg Il segreto del perfeeo feeling con quello che indossi è unire quanto di più leggero, traspirante e caldo offre il mondo dei tessuu, con la capacità di disegnare dei capi pensaa per un uulizzo ben specifico. Crazy sa fare questo fin dal 1989, quando ha inventato l’abbigliamento Fast & Light,

veloce e leggero, essenziale e traspirante che permeee di salire con il giusto feeling tra il tuo corpo e i capi che indossi. Fast & Light, per Crazy non significa per forza essere un atleta, ma vessrsi come un atleta, con capi studiaa per darr comfort e libertà di movimento. Non essnguerr … be Crazy!

Musto: inspiring the spirit of adventure

Built on 50 years of engineering cutting-edge performance apparel, Musto is one of the world’s leading sailing brand and a British leader in shooting sports. From the precise placement of ergonomic panels on active jackets up to the latest innovations, this is where style meets hi-tech performance. Musto only work with the best manufacturers so you can be assured of its quality every time. In addition, every products is tested to the extreme in the world’s most hostile environments, and in the labs, to drive innovation so you can trust them to perform and endure. Durability is also key, that’s why Musto offers a guarantee for the lifetime of many of their garments. Musto’s story began long time ago. When Keith Musto arrived in Tokyo as an unlikely choice for the British Olympic sailing squad of 1964. He was too light and short for the heavyweight Flying Dutchman boat he was competing in. Keith and his crew, Tony Morgan, quickly realised that their only chance of winning gold was to be fitter than their opponents. So they did the unthinkable. Every day, Christmas included, they did fitness training. Fellow competitors derided their training as unsporting, but a new breed of sailors was emerging. They were athletes.

So, after taking the sailing world by storm and winning silver in Tokyo (missing out on gold by ‘nanoseconds’), he set about producing ground-breaking technical sailing apparel. An old WWII prisoner of war hut in Essex served as the beginning of everything. Keith started out making sails with Edward Hyde under Musto & Hyde Sails. But Keith soon shifted his focus to constructing technical sailing clothing. He quickly taught himself all the basics of manufacturing clothes, paying his wife with a Mars bar a day to machine and do all of the typing. Then in 1980, Keith split from Musto & Hyde. His team quickly became the technical manufacturer and wholesaler of the best sailing kit available. It was specialist clothing worn and endorsed by the world’s most celebrated sailors. Musto was born. Nowadays Musto uses technical fabrics of the highest performance standards and works with many of the world’s best technical fabric manufacturers. To date, they have clothed Olympians and professional athletes, royalty and record breakers. A community of athletes, sports people and weekend adventurers who share a passion for the freedom and exhilaration of the outdoors.

“We sailed in Guernsey sweaters and old flannel trousers for years. You got wet and you accepted it. We realised that this was a problem that needed to be solved.”

Picture Organic Clothing x Xpore membrane. Xpore, the new membrane was developed by consumer electronics giant, BenQ Materials of Taiwan, after years of R&D. It introduces a new method to create the required nano-pores that make a membrane both waterproof and breathable, implementing mechanical stretching instead of the most common method achieved with chemicals

The result is the first solvent-free, PFC-free membrane that also happens to be 2x lighter than competing laminates on the market, making it the most sustainable and high-performance membrane launched to date. A key component of the membrane is polyolefin. It is a class of polymers produced from a simple olefin with the general formula carbon and hydrogen as a monomer. Compared to other polymers (PTFE/PU/TPEE), polyolefin is significantly more eco-friendly after any type of treatment, as it does not produce any toxic gases or compounds. Since manufacturing is done in-house, BenQ has total control of product quality and can also customize its glue to meet the specific demands of clients. Xpore’s technology finds applications in all types of waterproof and breathable textiles for both urban and outdoor use. What’s more, Xpore’s solution is suitable for not only artificial fabrics such as synthetic fabric, polyester and nylon, but also natural fibers like wool, cotton, and silk. With its Demain Jacket, Picture Organic Clothing has introduced a new benchmark in the sustainable, technical outerwear segment. 190

The Demain Jacket, a protective, 3-layer shell, featuring the new Xpore nano-porous membrane and Biosourced Polyester, made from sugarcane. These two new technologies further advance the eco-focused brand’s quest to wipe out fossil fuels, while keeping mountain shredders protected from nasty weather. The Demain’s fabric is Biosourced Polyester, made with 58% sugarcane woven with 42% recycled polyester stretch, and is one of the first bio-based materials to hit the technical outerwear market. This new bio-based fabric, derived from sugarcane waste unsuitable for human consumption, will be implemented much of the brand’s Expedition Line, which makes up 30% of their outerwear collection. While Picture has been known for using recycled PET since the brand’s inception in 2008, they see bio-based ingredients as the future in sustainable manufacturing to eliminate their dependence on fossil fuels, a leading contributor of climate change. Combined, the Demain is the one most sustainable and technical jacket brought to market and will be available at retail in Fall 2020. Xpore’s hydrophobic nanopores featured in this jacket are innovative because they enable water-

proofing and breathability at the same time. These characteristics are made possible through a rigorous series of laboratory tests and meet various high standards required by clients. In addition, Xpore is not only PFCs and PTFE-free in materials but also solvent-free in process. The manufacturing process uses a roll-to-roll lamination technique, which allow to save on the use of water. Since the process is solvent-free, no air pollution is emitted during the process. This makes Xpore an end-to-end environmentally friendly solution, from the factory to the manufacturing process and the membrane itself.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR BACKPACK. The right backpack at the right moment Unlike some items of clothing where versatility is an important element, the more targeted the backpack is based on the activity we intend to perform, the better. For freeriding, for example, sturdiness and reliability will be features to be taken into greater consideration, while for ski touring the reduced weight is a fundamental factor. For both activities it is good to prefer a backpack prepared with a special compartment for storing ARTVA, shovel and probe. Being equipped with an airbag backpack, although it involves a higher cost, means increasing the possibility of been rescued if you are hit by an avalanche thanks to the expansion of the volume that allows you to float on the surface. For backcountry snowboarding, if we do not use the split, a zipper on the back will be useful in order to access to the contents of the backpack without having to remove and put the board on every time.

Tech features During short fast & light trips, when you only carry the essentials, every gram makes a difference in performance, and it is therefore preferable that the weight of the backpack is kept to a minimum. Features and details could prove essential, particularly in extreme situations, such as low seams, sealed zippers and hidden details that increase durability and functionality. Pockets and compartments for crampons and rope holders, and a removable hood, are other great examples, as well as a well-ventilated back, even during extreme performance. The waist strap and the one on the chest are excellent allies for not overloading the shoulders and guaranteeing support in fully loaded climbs and the necessary freedom of movement.

Freedom of movement and functionality A back in thermoformed material often guarantees a better fit, adhering well to the back. The shoulder straps and the

waist belt can become painful when they are not designed for the activity we intend to practice, as well as being valid allies if realized with a combination of pre-formed padding and ventilation channels. Functionality means practicality and saving precious time: it is good that a backpack is equipped with pockets, straps, buttonholes and straps useful for the various accessories, and which make it easier to access and transport mountaineering equipment, such as crampons, rope, shovel, probe, skis, ice ax. A backpack becomes a reliable companion when it is waterproof and can accompany you even during bad weather conditions, keeping its contents dry. A comfortable feeling is a factor that, especially after many hours of walking, is very appreciable.

When beauty means safety In addition to the aesthetic aspect, it is important to analyze the technical functionality: your equipment in the mountains has the fundamental task of protecting you and keeping you safe. Choosing a well-fitting backpack will allow you to feel at ease even in the most demanding situations. A clean design means no “frills” or laces that would risk getting caught in the tightest passages and movements. The whistle integrated into the shoulder strap is another safety factor that should not be underestimated.

Sustainability and materials A conscious choice, which respects the environment, starts with choosing a responsible brand. If it is true that the wallet is the strongest tool that the consumer has, inquiring before making a purchase is a first step towards a lifestyle that is more attentive to the planet. It is important to check the labels of the models, from which we can have a lot of valuable information: several outdoor companies are committed to guaranteeing a low environmental impact and each one of us can do his part to achieve a change in mentality. Sometimes it is worth paying a little more, especially when quality is rewarded.

MAMMUT RIDE REMOVABLE AIRBAG 3.0 A true all-rounder for your freeriding days. The best choice for dealing with the worst case. The ideal backpack for tackling backcountry and freeriding outings where the risk of avalanches is high. It is compatible with the new Airbag 3.0 system, a completely revised 150L airbag using automotive industry technologies. Positioned in the upper part, inside a dedicated pocket which opens automatically in the event of actuation, it occupies a very limited volume, reducing the actual capacity to 28L. Inside the backpack there are two separate compartments: in the largest one there is a small section used exclusively for the transport of the carbon cartridge, while on the front there is a pocket, small but well organized, for the safety material (shovel, probe). It is made of very resistant and waterproof Tritan nylon, with accurate reinforcements and metal buckles. The aluminum supporting structure allows for a great load transfer without being bulky. The thermoformed backrest, with high quality foam, gives a high carrying comfort when fully loaded. The articulation of the shoulder straps and the padded belt offer one of the best fit sensations ever experienced. The belt is equipped with a practical zip pocket and attachment for carabiners or ice screws. The system of belts for the transport of diagonal skiing is simple

but effective and proves to be one of the best solutions on the market to carry a snowboard. It does an exceptional job in securing and keeping the equipment snug, preventing it from slipping. For those who like the assembly the skis like an “A”, it is one of the few options under 40L to excel in this function. This is complemented with side compression straps, compartment for spectacles with soft lining, ice ax and poles holder, compatibility with hydration system and integrated helmet holder. A backpack with a solid design and no frills, offering exceptional utility in the backcountry and a weight below average, in the universe of avalanche airbag packs it also stands out for a good price compromise. It is appreciable that Mammut offers so many airbag ready models that give the possibility both to easily remove the airbag system and install it in another compatible backpack and to use it in a “lighter” version, even for summer activities. WE LIKE The possibility of removing the airbag and the modularity of the system with other models of the brand.

SALEWA RANDONNÉE 32 A hybrid, technical and versatile backpack, made for winter mountaineering and ski touring. Introduced in the 2019 autumn, in the 32 and 36L versions, Randonnée is a backpack realized to achieve maximum performances traveling ridges in winter, ski touring and alpine crossings. Fully redesigned for the specific needs of ski mountaineering, the Dry Back Contact system allows a major breathability than traditional models by lowering the temperature thanks to the reduced contact area and the micro-ventilation system with 3D EVA air channels. This combination permits an adherent and stable load, without limiting the freedom of movement. Among the functional solutions we find the Robic fabric, an extremely strong nylon to face edges, rocks, crampons and ice axes without fear. The tested wide range shoulder strap system is made for major arm mobility. Randonnée 32 has a large main compartment with 3/4 opening that allows you to comfortably reach the material stored in the bottom. On the front, a specific space for quick access is dedicated to safety equipment (shovel, probe). The waterproof side pocket is a particularly appreciated solution for the possibility to store wet skins, especially during spring. Randonnée adopts multiple options to

attach the skis (parallel or diagonal) and a quick fixing system that avoids having to necessarily remove the backpack. A simple and accurate solution made of universally adjustable rings that can also be used for transporting a snowboard. Among the list of options: a fleece lined pocket to store the ski goggle without risking of scratching it, a compartment for valuable objects, the possibility of attaching a climbing rope, ice ax or snowshoes. And again: the predisposition for the hydration system, the lateral compression straps and the web sister for holding the helmet. Randonnée 32 is an all-round backpack that focuses on winter, a great companion for long mountain tours. Well designed and not complex at all, it has everything you need, leaving your back fresher and drier. WE LIKE The removable pouch on the hip belt that can comfortably contain a smartphone.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR EXPEDITION GEAR. Overview When choosing your expedition gear you have to be careful: although there are several low cost solutions, spending a little more allows you to avoid bad surprises that in wild conditions are never desirable, especially if you are facing an adventure alone. It also allows you not to have to replace products every season. It is first of all important to evaluate the technical conditions that you will face: long trekking, expeditions, bikepacking, camping, high altitude base camps, dry, snowy or sandy terrain, or free camping in the mountains. Every situation requires an adequate gear. Various outdoor activities require lightweight and compactness of the equipment, even in cold weather conditions. It is preferable to select the products after careful research and analysis, and it is better if you choose from those tested directly by athletes, explorers and mountain guides during various trips around the world.

Tents A large and structured tent, perhaps for three or more people, probably more comfortable, is likely to have a weight proportional to its features and its use must be evaluated in consideration of the activities you would like to practice. The external dimensions must be well calibrated, and allow a good set up even with limited space. A light and practical tent to transport, set up and disassemble, even in strong winds, it is certainly an interesting product. The geometry and poles must also be considered: it is important that they are optimized to obtain the maximum internal volume and offer a comfortable liveability. Isolation from the ground is also fundamental, so consider buying an extra sheet to use as a first layer on the ground. The dimensions depend on the number of people but also on the use and you could also opt for a tent with more apses and entrances. Observing the different components is a useful exercise: hinges must be sturdy, tie rods must stabilize the tent firmly, pockets to store material inside must be

222

adequate as well as the bag to transport it, which must be resistant to any “mistreatment”. The balance between weight and interior space is important, especially if you are traveling on foot alone. A good solution can be a four-season tent with a low weight, which, thanks to the outer fabric with ground flaps, can be suitable for both multi-day excursions and expeditions on the snow. Many tents easily overheat when the sun rises, for this reason having more entrances and resealable windows, which guarantee a current of air, can be an added value. A good tent resists many mountain storms without letting even a drop penetrate. The mosquito net must keep all insects away.

Sleeping bags and mattresses The first advice is to always use the sleeping bag combined with an inflatable mattress (self-inflating or not) to have good insulation from the ground: there are many possibilities to choose from, the important thing is that it has to be lightweight, fast to use, comfortable and thick enough to ensure you to stay dry and warm even in the event of heavy rain and a humid environment. There is a wide range of mats of different thickness, weight and size: depending on the type of use, a model with greater insulation capacity may be better. Regarding the sleeping bag, you have to pay attention to the weight/warmth ratio, highlighted by the words “comfort and extreme temperature”, followed by degrees. This indication changes for women and men. The size has to be chosen based on your height: it is better to be a little more abundant so as not to preclude the possibility of being able to insert additional clothing inside in case of severe cold. The internal and external fabric offers us other information to keep an eye on. In some sleeping bags there is the possibility to open the zip up to the base, a feature that can be very useful. When the zipper is closed completely, the hood must wrap the head well and the padding around the neck and shoulders must keep you warm.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR EQUIPMENT. Overview The technical equipment that accompanies us in the mountains is our most important ally. ARTVA, satellite devices, helmets, Garmin. They are all tools created specifically to save our lives and therefore saving money is not a good idea. Better to focus on quality, clearly after an analysis of what the market offers and adequate valuations. The same goes for indispensable “accomplices” such as ice ax, crampons and harness: there are so many models, more or less lightweight, robust and with more or less details, and in order to choose in the right way you can only focus on the technical aspects and on the activity specifies that we you are going to deal with. It is essential not only to consider the achievement of performance but above all our safety. When choosing the helmet it is advisable to evaluate the technical and comfort features, but also make sure to wear it properly, adjusting the back part and the chin strap well. Precisely because the equipment is so crucial, it is also good to take care of it, keeping it clean, and making sure it is still valid and efficient at the time of use: otherwise it is better to replace it.

ARTVA, shovel and probe ARTVA, shovel and probe are essential tools to have in the backpack for anyone who ventures off the track. For the ARTVA it is preferable to choose the latest generation models that have all the essential functions to save buried people hit by an avalanche, with the marking of the victims in the event of accidents involving several people. It is necessary to consider the width of the search strip of the detector, and if it is equipped with all the essential features for the rescue, other elements not to be underestimated are the backlit screen and if it emits a modulated acoustic signal. There are different types of shovels, it is therefore advisable to choose according to our activity: carbon and super light ones for competitions, when the risk of avalanches is minimal, resistant, robust and versatile models, with good compactness, for all other adventures with skis or a snowboard. The

230

probe must fit all into the backpack, to prevent it from freezing or breaking, better if it is compact, light, and with little space, combining strength and precision in research with a proven locking system.

Poles Ski mountaineering, high altitude expeditions, hiking, trail running. Poles should not be overlooked, as they can really make a difference, relieving the feeling of fatigue and helping to maintain a correct posture. Lightness must be taken into account without neglecting sturdiness, otherwise you could risk breaking them, the aluminum poles instead of carbon ones offer better reliability. They also need to have a good grip, be well balanced and of the correct length, as well as ensure a good grip on the ground. Features to be preferred are: a solid, telescopic and foldable pole (being able to insert it completely in the backpack is very useful) with quick closure, which allows instant adjustment. For expeditions at high altitudes, it is better to bring an extra basket of different sizes with you.

Satellite devices Satellite devices are our best allies in the mountains: they are essential for safety, search and recovery of individuals or groups. They allow you to be located and saved and are therefore indispensable tools to have with you during activities in areas without telephone coverage and data network. It is very useful to be able to count on a weather service and rely on a long-lasting battery, Bluetooth connectivity, the possibility of sharing routes and position even on social networks, and to send two-way messages and emails. It is better to choose a lightweight and space-saving tool. With a satellite device, your family, friends and colleagues will always be able to know if you are okay and, in the event of an emergency, send your GPS position to rescuers by simply pressing a button.

ARVA NEO PRO The new high-end DVA from the French brand that includes all the essential features for professional rescuers. Neo Pro is the top model among Arva avalanche transceivers. Designed for professional rescuers, it is easy to use even by those who do not carry out this work daily. Thanks to the innovative hardware and software optimization, it is able to push the width of the scanned area (search strip) up to 70 meters, a fundamental criterion for comparing performance. From the moment it is switched on, the backlit display demonstrates excellent contrast in all light conditions. The self-diagnostic test allows the unit to verify that all properties are functioning correctly. In the starting phase, the “Group control” places the device in proximity search mode, allowing you to check, less than 1 meter away, that each component is wearing a transceiver. Moving on to the field test, the marking function allows you to mark the signal of victims already identified and to focus on the next search. The multiple burial indicator displays a “+” symbol if there are more than 3 victims. With the scrolling function you can select which victim to search for, distributing the activity of the rescuers in the best possible way. The list of buried subjects, in order of proximity, allows a

quick selection based on the shortest distance. The digital signal processing effectively guides you to the burial area, while the analog function allows you to take full advantage of the maximum range of the main antenna. The management of electromagnetic interference optimizes performance in a “polluted” environment by automatically reducing the strip width. This version is also equipped with a revert-to-transmit function to automatically return to the transmission mode without user intervention (via timer or motion detector). The standby mode instead allows you to work on the avalanche without disturbing the rest of the search with the waves of the device. Finally, the U-turn alarm lets the rescuer know if he is going in the wrong direction. Neo Pro is a 3 antenna device dedicated to an expert user. The soft and comfortable holster easily adapts to any type of physical structure keeping it incredibly stable. WE LIKE The set up menu is particularly easy to use, summarized in a few steps and in just two keys (+/-).

MATERIAL Alu 7075

COBER LEVER Telescopic ski mountaineering pole in aeronautical aluminum with external lever locking system. Lever is one of the winter proposals of the Lombard company Cober. It is made up of two sections with a diameter of 16 and 14mm, both in Alu 7075, an alloy of aluminum and zinc quite widespread in this field. In fact, it is known for being the lightest aluminum alloy and, at the same time, more resistant to shocks, strains, weight and torsion. The lower section is adjustable by means of a lever mechanism, while a toothed wheel allows to increase or decrease the block pressure. The adjustment range, from 110 to 145cm, allows a perfect adaptation both in the ascent and descent phases. The system and its sealing prove to be reliable even at high loads or with sustained stresses. In the test also the bending of the two rods is homogeneous and gradual. The shape of the handle is typical of ski mountaineering: the foam knob has a rather simple and linear ergonomics composed of an extended grip of about 27cm that allows a grip that can be supported according to needs, varying the position of the hands according to the inclination of the slope. The quickstrap strap, basic and without padding or reinforcements, allows easy adjustment even when wearing gloves. The pole is completed with a 92mm snow basket and steel tip. A model with a simple and clean design with an HD thermal decoration process that makes it easily recognizable. WE LIKE downhill.

GARMIN FĒNIX 6 PRO SOLAR EDITION Garmin’s most complete GPS multisport sportwatch that uses solar energy. Garmin’s fēnix 6 series, officially presented in 2019, is a true object of desire for all outdoor sports enthusiasts. Following the success of fēnix 6X Pro Solar, the first to offer the solar charging function, Garmin has extended and integrated the photovoltaic technology of the Power Glass lens across the entire fēnix 6 product line, allowing an even longer user experience. The device we tested (fēnix 6 Pro Solar), characterized by a 47mm case and a new 1.3” display, includes new profiles dedicated to indoor climbing, MTB and surfing that are added to the dozens of sports apps already present. An evolution that opens up even more avenues for adventure. fēnix 6 Pro Solar, in fact, allows a battery life of 14 days in smartwatch mode (36 hours in GPS mode) and, if properly exposed at least 3 hours a day in usual light conditions, the battery life can reach 16 days in smartwatch and 40 hours in GPS mode. Among the most advanced functions, reserved for the Pro series, we would like to mention the preloaded TopoActive Europe maps, the ability to listen to your favorite music using Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music subscriptions thanks to the Bluetooth connection and NFC technology to pay with Garmin Pay directly from the watch. The measurement of the heart rate on the wrist, combined

with the Pulse Ox optical sensor and system widgets, allows you to obtain estimates and analyzes on your fitness status, on blood oxygen saturation, on sleep monitoring, acclimatization to altitude and the level of hydration. Particularly appreciated in our test context is the new preloaded profile dedicated to ski mountaineering which allows you to obtain information that can be analyzed during and after the outing. The app has several customizable screens that will provide you with all the data you need, including the position shown on the map and expressed in coordinates, the altitude calculated in barometric or GPS mode, rate of ascent, distances, times and much more. The passage between the ascent and descent phases is performed by simply pressing the Lap key. Once the activity has been downloaded to the Garmin Connect app, you can view the graph with the different phases highlighted in red and blue. For each split there is also a table with details of time, distance, average and maximum speed, heart rate and calories burned. WE LIKE Excellent Climb Pro function that allows you to view real-time information on the altitude profile of the route, including slope, distance and height difference.

MAMMUT BARRYVOX S Advanced 3 antenna device with digital/analog search mode. The top of the range. Let’s face it right away: this is probably the best avalanche search device in the world. Barryvox S replaced the Pulse model in 2017 introducing an even more intuitive operation and one of the widest search strips on the market (70m wide in digital and 80 in analog mode). The reinforced body, improved in shape and ergonomics, houses a 2.2-inch backlit display visible even with polarized lenses. The simplified navigation graphical interface is the exact demonstration of how a high-performance device should not be complicated to use; all to guarantee that fundamental time saving in emergency situations. The Smart Search function guides you clearly and effectively towards the goal, interacting with the rescuer’s actions even in the event of a signal error. In addition to the symbology there is the classic acoustic signal that allows the visual search on the avalanche field. Reverse direction management function avoids 180° search errors. In the case of multiple buried subjects, Barryvox S displays the distance, direction and number of people involved, managing the various signals individually (stored in a list) and allowing the selection of the individual with the possibility of marking and unmarking. If the buried subject also has a Barryvox S, the 3D sensor makes

it possible to detect, transmit and store his vital data to provide valuable information for medical purposes. Barryvox S includes the Send Rescue function. If a rescuer does not move for 4 minutes, possibly because of being hit by a secondary avalanche, the device automatically switches from search mode to transmission mode. Finally, a specific feature of this version is the analogue search mode which helps advanced users to solve difficult situations in particularly complex search scenarios. Like all devices in the range, Barryvox S is supplied with a special BarryMount harness that can be quickly adjusted and closed with a single hand. The harness avoids the involuntary activation of the search mode, ensuring safety during the trip. WE LIKE Intuitive functionality and simple scrolling menu interface.

MASTERS SKITOUR PRO

MATERIAL AluTech 7075

Ski mountaineering and freeriding telescopic pole, technically reliable and with an attractive look. Skitour Pro is one of the most interesting news from the Masters winter collection. This model, dedicated to ski mountaineering and freeriding, is proposed as an intermediate solution between the Skitour version (with Clamper closure system) and the CaluTech version in 100% carbon fiber. Skitour Pro has two different sections with a diameter of 16mm and 14mm in AluTech 7075 aluminum alloy. It is adjustable in height thanks to the proven Wing Lock external locking system. The aluminum lever, whose shape recalls a wing, wraps around a Dupont resin body, remaining as essential and light as possible, without compromising mechanical reliability and ease of use. Wing Lock is easy to use and facilitates a comfortable, fast and safe adjustment of the pole, with a variable height from 105 to 140cm in its maximum extension (88cm when closed). The soft touch Palmo knob has a wide extension in EVA foam with a grip section of over 30cm, shaped in the upper part, with a different texture in the lower one. Patented Automatic Stop System for the rapid and precise adjustment of the padded strap. Details that make the difference. On the opposite side, the tungsten tip guarantees excellent grip on soft surfaces but also on ice and stony ground. To complete the technical features, the TipTop system introduced in 2019. A reliable innovation formed by a support (Tip) with greater usable surface and the basket (Top) with a practical method of assembly/disassembly. To fix it, just bring it to the end of its length with an anti-clockwise rotation; to remove it, fold the three flaps downwards and rotate it clockwise until it is released. We used it on powder, on the freshly snowed slopes of Cervinia, where the particular Top basket proved to be very effective, in fact it can be easily cut for use on slopes, without hindering the “lunge” on fresh snow. A pole for an expert target appreciated for its versatility of use and high technological content.
