POC Retina Big Goggle
POC has a great concept with a frame that is medium-sized on your face but fits an oversized lens in a slim frame. The problem is that the lens is so close to the face that it fogs easily and, despite its great clarity, also scratched far too quickly.
Volkl Yumi (2013-2014)
The Yumi is a user-friendly, soft-flexing ski from Volkl. It lacks the rebound energy found in Volkl’s other women's skis, but instead offers solid carving and accessibility to a variety of ability levels as well as terrain and snow conditions.
Nordica Wild Belle (2013-2014)
The Wild Belle is a slightly softer flexing and lower weight version of a men's ski and remains on the stiffer side for women's skis. Because of this, however, it carves extremely well, stays smooth at speed and can handle a variety of terrain and snow conditions. All in all, it's a ski for advanced intermediates through expert skiers.
K2 SuperGlide 80 (2013-2014)
The SuperGlide 80 is a lightweight, versatile frontside ski suited for a wide range of abilities and ages.
Head Mya 8 (2013-2014)
This is a versatile frontside ski that's good for intermediate through expert skiers who favor a damp and stable carver with secure edge hold. It performs best on groomers, but can handle soft or cut-up snow and moguls.
Blizzard Viva 8.0 (2013-2014)
A quick and lively frontside ski with great edge hold and rebound energy. It requires some precision to stay on top of a small sweet spot. Therefore it's best suited for high intermediates through expert skiers who are able to pressure the tip and roll the ski on edge.
Olicamp Kinetic Ultra Titanium
The lightest stove tested. Only the folks who sleep under cuben fiber tarps and hike in toe-socks could find fault with a stove this small.
MSR MicroRocket
The MSR MicroRocket is very well built, and has the fastest average boil time and best wind performance among stoves tested in this category.
MSR Whisperlite Universal
The MSR Whisperlite Universal should be at the top of any mountaineer or backpacker’s gear list.
Snow Peak LiteMax Titanium
The Snow Peak LiteMax Titanium stove is a fine product that will hold up to the rigors of the trail, although there’s nothing overly innovative about its design or performance.
