Never get left out in the dark with the LYNX OGT ORCA POWERBANK
+ FLASHLIGHT. Designed in BC, this waterproof flashlight throws a 2000-lumen beam at max brightness and will run for 26 hours on five per cent brightness (100 lumens). Built-in intelligence will reduce power to avoid overheating and a digital display shows exactly how much juice is left. Best of all, the USB-C charging connector allows you to charge your phone, Lynx OGT headlamp, or anything else that connects via USB. www.lynxogt.com // Freeskiing pioneer Glen Plake’s first signature ski has been a long time in the making, but the ELAN RIPSTICK

The KHROMA KINETIC JACKET is Rab’s softest ski mountaineering hardshell. Their signature Proflex fabric is a trifecta of backcountry comfort: it’s stretchy, breathable and durable. Forget about strain and struggles, the shell’s flexibility makes transitions in the mountains smooth like butter. And the stretch and breathability don’t come at the expense of durability: the fabric’s tight weave practically repels damage from rocks, trees, ice axes, alders and the like.

The iconic PRIOR POW STICK SNOWBOARD has been revised for 2023 with shorter, swifter swallowtail sections to minimize deflection and maximize edge hold without sacrificing pow floatation. An all-new blunted nose provides weight savings, and a slightly shorter overhang makes it nimbler and more versatile in the trees. This is the ultimate flotation ride, and it’s available in 156, 160, 167, 176 and 181cm.
// 15. Manufactured and tested for performance at the Mustang Waterlife Studio in British Columbia, the Women’s HELIX DRY SUIT CCS makes in-water activities available year-round.
