Wherever You Go, Be Ready

Are you skiing this year? Maybe you have plans to ski in Colorado, California, or even Canada. Maybe you’re taking the fam to France or Switzerland. Maybe you’re going to surf pow in Japan. Wherever you go this year, make sure you’re ready for everything and anything. Here’s what an Outdoor Master can do for you this year!

Helmets & Goggles

When winter conditions turn unpredictable, reliable helmets and goggles are non-negotiable. The right helmet delivers impact protection, adjustable fit, and effective ventilation for long days on snow, while quality goggles ensure clear vision in flat light, storms, and bright sun alike.

FALCON Dual ZEISS Snow Goggles

Built for riders who refuse to compromise on vision, the FALCON Dual ZEISS goggles deliver exceptional clarity in all conditions. ZEISS SONAR lenses enhance contrast, while the bonus low-light lens keeps you covered when storms roll in. Fast MagKlick lens swaps and advanced anti-fog treatment make them especially reliable during cold, moisture-heavy winter days when visibility matters most.

DIAMOND 2 MIPS Ski Helmet

The DIAMOND 2 MIPS helmet blends high-level protection with everyday comfort. MIPS technology adds rotational impact safety, while class-leading ventilation prevents overheating during active winter riding. A customizable fit and plush interior make it easy to wear from first chair to last lap. It’s a dependable choice for long, cold days when consistent comfort and protection are essential.

KELVIN 2 MIPS Ski Helmet

Designed for versatility and style, the KELVIN 2 MIPS helmet provides trusted MIPS protection and efficient airflow. Its adjustable fit system ensures a secure feel in varying winter conditions, from frigid mornings to milder afternoons. With multiple size options and 11 colorways, it’s an easy pick for riders who want dependable safety without sacrificing comfort or personal style.

Base Layers & Outer Layers

Staying warm starts with smart layering. The best winter apparel strikes a balance between warmth, breathability, and mobility, enabling you to ride or ski longer without overheating or feeling restricted in changing mountain conditions.

Quick-Drying Soft Compression Base Layer

This soft compression base layer is designed to work as hard as you do in winter conditions. Thermal, quick-drying fabric helps regulate body temperature while keeping moisture under control, even during high-output days. Its seamless, flexible fit moves naturally with your body, making it ideal for layering under outerwear and dependable for cold-weather riding, travel days, or off-mountain activities.

Ski Jacket and Pants

Built for demanding winter environments, this ski jacket and pants set uses 3-layer stretch fabric to block wind and moisture without limiting movement. Integrated ventilation helps release heat on the move, while RECCO® technology adds an extra layer of safety in the backcountry. With smart storage and durable construction, it’s made for full days in unpredictable winter weather.

Bags & Accessories

From early-morning missions to multi-day trips, the right bags and accessories make winter adventures easier. Well-designed backpacks and travel bags keep gear organized and protected, while accessories like gloves, socks, and face protection add crucial comfort in harsh conditions. Small upgrades can make a big difference, improving convenience, warmth, and overall performance on and off the mountain.

Outdoor Master Skis & Snowboards Bag

This all-in-one ski and snowboard bag simplifies winter travel by keeping everything protected in one place. The adjustable main compartment fits gear from 145 to 175 cm, making it versatile for most setups. Designed for secure transport, it’s ideal for road trips, flights, and storage between trips.

Ski & Snowboard Waxing Kit

A reliable waxing kit is essential for consistent winter performance, and this setup covers all the basics in one package. With a dedicated waxing iron, universal wax, and cleaning and repair tools, it helps maintain smooth glide in cold, dry, or variable snow. Regular tuning throughout winter keeps gear faster, more responsive, and better protected from base damage.

Do What You Believe!

With the right gear, winter adventures become safer, warmer, and more enjoyable. From protective helmets and high-clarity goggles to dependable layers and travel-ready accessories, investing in well-designed equipment helps you stay comfortable and prepared for changing conditions, letting you focus on making the most of every snowy day!
