Never Summer Funslinger 153 2016 /2017

With the Smith Skyline Chromapop Goggles strapped to our face, we need not fear flat light or fogged-in ski runs. The Skyline boasts many of the same technologies as Smith's I/O collection, but at a m more→ore wallet-friendly price point. This quality pair of goggles features a rimless design that maximizes our field of view, and integrates smoothly with our helmet to assist with ventilation.

The Sequence OTG Goggles provide a comfy, over-the-glasses fit and a contrast-enhancing, color-popping visual experience thanks to Smith's coveted ChromaPop technology. These mid-sized goggles offer a more→helmet-compatible, pressure-free fit that lets our glasses sit comfortably, while fog- and distortion-free lenses give us razor-sharp optics on the mountain.

For the best view on the hill, we pull on the Smith Blazer Goggles. The minimalist frame and cylindrical lens widen our window, while the moisture-wicking foam, active ventilation, and fog-fighting in more→ner lens ensure whiteouts and sweat don't cloud our vision.

When the goods are deep in the backcountry, we pull on the Tecnica Zero G Peak Boot and get to walking. These boots are designed for lightweight setups that help us walk further than ever before. The more→carbon fiber construction keeps the weight down while the simple buckle system ensures we can keep our feet warm, comfortable, and blister-free from the first stride to the last turn.

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.

The latest in the famous Juvy line, the K2 Juvy 4. 5 FDT Large Plate Ski shows why K2 has used that name for over a decade. This combination of a ski and binding thrives on newer skiers who are starti more→ng to put in multiple days a week on the slopes. The Duracap construction and composite core offer an easy-to-maneuver lightweight feel that is further bolstered by the short turn radius and forgiving rocker profile.
