![]() ![]() The Pegasus uses a lattice of overlapping cables that independently apply tension to keep almost any foot shape locked in place. But it was the new, customizable fit of the mesh upper that sold us. Pliant, light, and soft, it immediately wooed faster runners looking for a responsive, tempo-ready shoe, as well as our cruise-minded testers, who appreciated the soft foam and moderately heel-strike-oriented midsole. It’s hard to decide if this is a speed shoe for the masses or a training shoe for the fleet of foot. Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 32 ($110) (Inga Hendrickson) It’s too stiff for beginners, and you’ll want something else on powder days, but for all other situations, it’s a near perfect daily driver. The directional twin shape makes it adept going switch without losing its freeride characteristics, and it manages to be soft and playful yet impressively stable. It’s a robust platform that dampens hard landings and offers a firm grip in no-fall zones. Testers found this all-mountain hero to be solid in even the nastiest conditions. Merriam-Webster defines temerity as “foolhardy contempt of danger.” That about sums it up. High Society Temerity ($379) (Inga Hendrickson) At 95 millimeters underfoot, it’s wide enough for most powder days, but with some traditional camber and the aforementioned Kastle engine under the hood, you can also rail groomer turns. Result: the most adaptable all-mountain ski we tested. In the new FX95 HP, Kastle designers overhauled the ski’s camber and profile, pairing a tapered tip and tail with just the right amount of rocker for a surfy feel in soft snow without sacrificing edge hold on hardpack. Two sheets of aluminum, a silver-fir core, and the fastest graphite base that money can buy are staples of this premium brand.

Only 297 of them made the cut-and only seven of them won a coveted Gear of the Year award. ![]() Although it's not a deal breaker, it's still a very comfortable jacket that offers many other features and I am very happy with my purchase.Over the past seven months, we’ve tested more than 600 products for possible inclusion in the 2016 Winter Buyer’s Guide. Outdoor Gear Lab has noted this as an issue as well and I can confirm that that's true. I'm not sure if that was an issue with size, I think it's an issue with the design. One thing I was really bummed about was that stuffing the jacket into its own pocket was really hard. I'll update this review after I give it a try but I'm just judging by the size of the hood. I'm sure this could fit a climbing helmet, but probably not a snowboard helmet. Went for a stroll downtown in ~35 degree weather and didn't even notice the cold in my chest. Personally, I would've loved to see them use a different material like they did the OR Cathode jacket.īreathability is better than I expected. It's the kind of material that catches really easy. The pockets are nice and warm, but I can see how it'd be irritating when you have dry skin on your fingers. While I could zip up the jacket, it was a relatively tight fit so I exchanged it for a medium and now it fits perfectly. I ordered a size small thinking it would be the same fit.
