CAPiTA Defenders Of Awesome 157W 2023 /2024

The Flight Tracker XL Goggle continues Oakley's line of large googles that allow you to see everything in all directions. The extended peripheral view is boosted by the contrast enhancing Prizm lenses more→that ensure you are seeing every bump on the hill.

We slide on the Proxy Goggles to illuminate every dimple and minute drop the sparkling sea of powder tries to distort. With the contrast-boosting lens giving us the terrain's reality, we drop in with more→confidence, while the anti-fog inner lens and moisture-wicking face foam make sure we never lose our line in the mist of our own effort.

Winds might be whipping snow all along the ridge, but we can see clearly in Oakley's Target Line M Goggles. Even after we're sweating from hiking up the mountain, the Target Line's anti-fog coating en more→sures fog-free vision. We also appreciate the strap's helmet-compatible adjustability mixed with a cushy face foam that feels secure whether we're playing it safe or rocking a beanie.

Designed by and for avid backcountry chargers, the Scarpa Maestrale RS Alpine Touring Boot offers an impressive balance of uphill comfort and downhill performance. To limit compromise, these boots off more→er a burly Speed Lock MLT walk mode that locks in 60 degrees of motion for effortless strides on the skintrack, an alpine-influenced 125 flex that drives power to our skis on the descent, and a thermo-moldable Pro Flex Performance liner that eliminates rubbing and blistering on the uphill while locking our heel in the pocket on the downhill.

The Limelight Step On Snowboard Boot is optimal for all-mountain shredding, thanks to a versatile and responsive medium-stiff flex and Burton's convenience-maximizing Step On technology. Sure, years o more→f snowboarding under our belts help us look like pros from the terrain park to our secret powder stashes, but without the need to strap in, we feel like we could get paid for our on-mountain moves. Burton makes these already amazing boots even better with the BOA Fit System effortlessly locking in our feet and adjusting the fit as needed.

You wish you could enjoy the ski resort from the first chair to last, but your toes go numb sometime after lunch every time. Instead of roasting your frozen feet by the fire while all your friends enj more→oy the afternoon, we recommend that you slip them into the Rossignol Women's Pure Pro Heat Ski Boot. This boot combines a Bluetooth-controlled heated liner with a wide last to ensure blood keeps flowing in your toes so that you can stay on hill all day.

Back for another season, the Lexa X EST Snowboard Binding still offers the most-popular pro-caliber control on the mountain. With upgrades that make this binding lighter and reground materials that ma more→ke the design greener, this year's edition is our favorite yet. Double Take buckles with Insta-Click let us strap in fast so we can keep charging lap after lap, and the supportive Heel Hammock and highback keep us comfortable while maximizing support. Underfoot, the strong, responsive, and shockingly playful baseplate is equipped with shock-absorbing EVA and B3 gel padding.
