Notice how all the other bros are sporting the disheveled-party-flannel look to the bars these days? Probably time to upgrade your après attire and you might as well go all in with the Arc’teryx Veilance Blazer. You heard correctly. Arc’teryx, makers of outdoor apparel and outerwear, moonlights in the world of men’s upscale lifestyle clothing. But true to form, they add a technical spin to each piece. The blazer is lightly insulated and made from a lightweight, four-way-stretch softshell material finished with a DWR coating, which means you’ll be sheltered from the elements and look ridiculously good while weathering them. Water—or the Bud Light spillage from the drunk guy at the bar next to you—beads right off this durable jacket. It resists stains, keeps your temperature well regulated, and can be chucked right in the washing machine with your darks. Wear it for après at your local hill, a night on the town, or to the office, and eyes from the fairer sex will surely wander in your direction. And because it’s from Arc’teryx, the same company that makes your backcountry hard shell, the blazer doesn’t feel like a sell out of your ski bum roots, rather, it’s a calculated improvement upon them.$695; arcteryx.com

We had brands run us through their new gear at the SIA tradeshow. Here's what they're psyched about.

One of my buddies loves to get on the slopes but doesn’t have the means to get up to the mountains as much as he would like or buy the best gear. His bargain bin goggles are probably the best example. Sure, they work, but they put a very uncomfortable orangish-brown spin on an otherwise colorful world. To remedy the situation, I’m getting him a fresh pair of Smith I/O goggles. They come with two high quality spherical lenses— a light one for overcast, a dark one for sunny days. The lenses can be switched easily thanks to Smith’s tricky quick release lens system. Plus, the goggles fit well with a helmet and are about as stylish as goggles can get. -K.L.

Setting up camp for a few nights (or longer), but need a pack for a summit push? The Arc’teryx Cierzo 25 is a great choice. Super lightweight—one ounce shy of a pound—and minimalist, the unisex Cierzo can easily haul a down puffy, outer shell, lunch, a camera, sunscreen, climbing harness, extra pair of shoes and more. It has plenty of lashing options including ice-axe loops and a compression cord that wraps the entire bag and pulls the load close to your body. Plus, the entire pack stuffs into its top lid, compressing down to the size of a football. The thin foam frame sheet is removable to make it even lighter and less bulky—though you sacrifice back comfort—or, as the company touts, it can be used as an emergency sleeping pad. But it is a minimalist pack. That means neither an internal bladder hanger nor hose port, and no external water bottle pockets like you’d find on more full-featured packs. www.arcteryx.com; $99

Here are five packs—from multi-day schleppers to light and fast daytrippers— that’ll get you through the summer.

GSI’s BPA-free cookware fully accommodates two people’s eating needs. At just 20.7 ounces, this lightweight set includes two insulated mugs with lids, two bowls, two telescoping foons, and a hard-anodized pot with strainer lid. All cookware, fuel, a stove, and utensils fit inside the pot. Nonstick coating makes cleanup easy, the Pinnacle-series aluminum pot distributes heat evenly for perfectly cooked English muffin pizzas, and Teflon radiance technology prevents scratches. Our favorite feature? The waterproof storage bag doubles as a camp sink. $60; gsioutdoors.com

When you’re out in the woods for an extended period of time the gear you pack is important. Here’s what we bring on backpacking trips.

When was the last time you were in a room packed full of more than a thousand people, on their feet, cheering for a photo of a skier neck deep in snow? Or a patroller chucking a bomb over her shoulder? Me? Maybe never. Until last weekend. In the online world, where a new-hotness helmet cam edit drops every 15 seconds, it’s easy to forget how powerful one photograph, or even a series of stills can be. If you needed to be reminded of that, last weekend’s Deep Winter Photo Challenge, put on by Arc’teryx and Whistler Blackcomb, might have been the ticket.
