Oakley Storm - Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt

I have worn this sweatshirt more then any other piece of clothing I own. I always get compliments on the colors, fit and style. This is perfect if you like to wear leggings or just need a quick sweatshirt to throw on. The material is semi water-resistant as well, so you could go skiing in Spring with it. Buy It!...

Swix Waxing Iron

Purchasing a waxing iron can be one of the best investments you can make for your skiing. Not only will you glide fast and hike less, but you will be taking care of your skis. I have been waxing and tuning my skis since I was 10 years old. Here is a quick tutorial: Ski Waxing Tutorial By Grete: What you need: skis, waxing iron, ski wax and a scraper. 1. Buy a Waxing Iron 2. Buy Wax (Waxes are different for different temperatures of snow). 3. Buy Scraper 4. Find a space at home, preferably outside where you do not mind dripping wax onto the floor.

Oakley Raise Pant

Posted by Admin on uncategorized

Hey Everyone!

This is something new I am going to start doing on my site. I hope you find it informative and helpful in buying new gear. I am going to try to give you an in-depth look into the gear I mostly use. If you like it, let me know. If you do not and can not understand why I would wear or use such a thing, let me know.

The first product I am going to be talking about is the Oakley Raise Pant.

OAKLEY RAISE PANT

I wore this pant and the jacket that comes with it all season. The jacket is a pull-over and super functional. I usually wear a size Large Snow-pant, but I wore these in a medium. By ordering a size that fits well, it is easier to hike in and you will not have loose material bothering you trying to restrict you from getting up the mountain. Usually, I wear my pants out really good during the season. Because I use to wear them so baggy they would always drag on the ground and I would step on my ski boot. With these pants they fit around your boot and hang just enough to cover your buckles, but not enough to drag on the ground. The pant comes in white and this red. I wore the red, but have the white. White is fun to wear, but gets dirty really easily. So you decide.
