Never Summer Aura 146 2016 /2017

We always pull on the Julbo Sniper L Nordic Zebra Photochromic Goggles for our trips to the trailhead to help maximize our comfort and enjoyment on the trail. These goggles are built specifically for more→cross-country skiing thanks to a quickly ventilating lens that helps eliminate fogging on the uphill and cold air in our eyes on the downhill. The large spherical lenses boost our peripheral vision and provide clear optics that boost contrast on flat light days so that we can see minor imperfections in the trail and beat our own personal best.

The Line Miner XM Prizm Goggles were created to improve upon Oakley's top-tier eyewear. This design has been pulled in tight, improving peripheral vision while fighting fog. These goggles have a highl more→y functional shape that aligns closely with most helmets, often providing a chill-free fit. Oakley Prizm lenses are engineered to amplify contrast and function in a variety of light and snow conditions, but for ideal performance, the lens can be swapped out to best match our visibility needs.

The Oakley Flight Tracker S Goggles pulls its inspiration from Oakley's first true oversized snow goggle, the Canopy. This version takes it a step further by featuring the latest technology to ensure more→our field of visibility is optimal while cruising the mountains.

The ThirtyTwo Lashed Double BOA Powell Snowboard Boot delivers all-mountain comfort and performance. We love dialing in our perfect fit with the dual-zone BOA Fit System, and the Team Fit liner is hea more→t-moldable for a completely customized fit. The versatile medium flex excels from park to pow and everything in between.

From morning warmups at the Nordic Track to a weekend skiing to a backcountry yurt, the Escape Outpath booth is built to get it done. It combines a warm layer of Thinsulate insulation to keep you warm more→, while SensiFit construction wraps your foot for a supportive fit all day.

When venturing beyond groomed trails, we kit up with the Rossignol XC 2 Ski Boot. The tall PVC lace cover stops snow from soaking through, while the insulated liner stops the cold from numbing our toe more→s. As we kick and glide over variable terrain, the lateral heel supports keep our ankles happy, letting us go farther in comfort.

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.
