The R1 Extension Cord allows the user of the Nao RL headlamp to carry their battery somewhere other than their head. This helps lighten the load placed upon the head and neck, which over the course of a long race, isn't insignificant. If using the headlamp in the winter, the extension cord allows the battery to be stowed in a warmer place, thus improving battery life. No matter if ..

Their name: Atomic. Their quest: to make an even better, high-performance, ultralight ski. Their favorite color: Skimo blue. The Atomic Backland 80 UL Ski is the successor to the Backland UL 78 and has been re-engineered to be the King Arthur of mountaineering skis. The base DNA of the Backland UL skis remains as the Ultra Light Woodcore, carbon fiberglass layers, and Carbon Backbo..

Light construction, tight radius, and high torsional strength make this ski a machine for the tightest ski mountaineering lines, and a sharp 3-degree side edge bevel provides unparalleled hold on the hardest of snow and ice. However, this ski is not confined to this role li..

Head has historically been an alpine ski company, so it's no surprise that their touring ski lineup has strong downhill chops. What is a surprise is that they've managed to achieve this at weights that make us here at Skimo Co go, "Oh, tell me more!" The Head Crux 93 Pro is a versatile ski, made for everything from firm steeps up high, charging through the wide-open apron, to enjoy..

With a revamped construction, the Backland FR 102 features more wood with less fiberglass, metal, and resin, reducing its carbon footprint while maintaining a damp feel. Increasing the amount of rocker to 35% compared to 30% in years past, m..

While the Backland 98 will forever live on in our collective memories as a wonderful and versatile ski, the time has come for an even more wonderful and versatile ski to take its place, the Backland FR 101. With a few more millimeters of girth and the beveled HRZN Tech 3D Tip, the Backland FR 101 handles powder even better than the original. In addition to increased flotation, the ..

With the Ridge 95, Dynafit set out to create a high-performance, easy-to-use ski for the discerning, speed-oriented backcountry skier. The goal was to make a ski that wasn't too light to ski aggressively on, but efficient enough for whatever long missions you might have in mind. Inspired by Dynafit's speed touring and racing heritage, it features the usual tip notch for quick trans..

Skiing serious lines calls for a stiff upper lip -- or a stiff upper cuff. Regardless of the objective, the Women's Head Crux Boot is certainly up to the challenge. With years of experience making boots that have performed at the highest levels, Head is quite familiar with the kind of performance skiers expect of their boots. Throughout the Crux, the LYT Dynamic Frame connects the ..

Since its inception in 2005, DPS has gained a loyal following for its ski shapes that can only be described as "intuitive." Building on the Pagoda Tour 100, the Carbon Pagoda Tour CFL 100, despite being quite a fingerful to type, brings some welcome improvements to an already beloved platform. Utilizing a Carbon and Flax laminate, DPS shaved a significant amount of weight relative ..

If you've spent much time on the skin track recently, you've likely seen a pair (or two) of these bright red skis making their way uphill. And for good reason -- with the Camox Freebird, Black Crows created an icon of a touring ski that can serve as an all-around touring ski for nearly any skier in any environment. Equally happy billy-goating around steep terrain or making playful ..

With a heritage spanning over 100 years, Kastle has learned a thing or two when designing high-performance skis. With the TX 99, this technological prowess is on display. If you've seen Kastle skis in the wild, the first thing that likely would have drawn your attention is the colored and slightly transparent insert at the tip, which Kastle dubs "Hollowtech." This magical little in..

As the middle width in the Kastle touring ski stable, the TX94 is designed to be a do-it-all workhorse. At the figurative heart and literal tip of the TX94 is the distinct Hollowtech Evo insert, which reduces weight, absorbs vibration from terrible snow, and results in a high level of stability relative to its athletic weight. Found in virtually all skis Kastle has produced in rece..

Following in the footsteps of the Backland 107, the Backland FR 109 from Atomic is designed for powder, yet, it has notable differences from its predecessor. While the Backland 107 had a distinctly "locked in" personality, the deep rocker lines and shape of the FR 109 give it a more playful and maneuverable personality. Ever conscious of the climate problems we are facing, Atomic u..

Is your pragmatic side trying to convince you that today is a day for the svelte and narrow skis? Or, is your optimistic side trying to convince you that yesterday's 3 inches will actually feel more like 8, and therefore, wider skis are required? Not a huge fan of analysis paralysis, Head makes the decision easy with the Crux 105 Pro. Being just wide enough, the Crux 105 Pro handle..

As the replacement to the ever-popular Backland 107 W, the Backland FR 108 W from Atomic keeps the same hard skiing performance people have come to enjoy but with a more playful twist. Featuring deeper rocker lines than its forbear, the Backland FR 108 easily slashes through powder and allows you to shut things down on a moment's notice, which is sure to come in handy during "brush..

Pivoty, slashy, and slarvy. These are all apt descriptors of the Tigard 107 from Dynafit. Building perhaps their most progressive and modern ski to date, Dynafit wanted the Tigard 107 to excel in powder while providing a damp ride for less-than-ideal snow, all while remaining nimble to ski in tight places with confidence. The generous rocker in the tip and tail provides excellent f..

Well.....it's finally happened. A ski has landed here at Skimo Co that breaks the 2000g glass ceiling in its longest length. The ski in question is the Draco Freebird from Black Crows, which can be seen taking flight under the couloir straight-lining madman himself, Nikolai Schirmer. Before saying what the ski is, let's first say what the ski isn't. The Draco Freebird is not light...

The Head Crux Pro Boot might be having a bit of an identity crisis. Two buckles and a power strap on a stiff and supportive upper cuff are reminiscent of an alpine boot, but the tongueless construction and wave closure on the lower sit firmly in highly efficient touring boot territory. Drawing inspiration from various corners of the ski boot world, it's a very intentional design ch..

Designed by Hoji himself, the Ridge Pro boot is intended for the hardest chargers who want a boot with the best possible touring mannerisms. Because of its intended audience, the Ridge Pro is, quite stiff. While some may enjoy its stiffness, others, such as lighter skiers, may find it overpowering. With the Ridge boot, Dynafit has kept the same excellent touring capabilities, but i..

While trickle-down economics may not be the most successful strategy for long-term economic success, trickle-down technology is. First introducing the venerable Hoji Lock system in their beefier offerings, Dynafit is now offering this game-changing technology in the women's Ridge boot. The benefit of this technology is twofold: First, it eliminates virtually any cuff play common in..

More impressively (and importantly), the TX Pro 2.0 boas..

Last year, SCARPA sent shockwaves through the free-touring world with the 4-Quattro XT, their collaboration with Bode Miller, which offered alpine-like performance in an exceedingly tourable platform. With a year of feedback under their belts, SCARPA is back at it with the 4-Quattro Pro, which features reinforced parts for an even better skiing and more durable platform. Compar..

In 1928, just outside Vienna, Austria, the company that would become Tyrolia introduced a touring binding onto the market: the original Almonte. It's been long enough that Tyrolia decided to forego a "Version 2" naming scheme here, concluding that it's unlikely these two products will be confused. A rare nod to the consumer intellect that we appreciate. Technology has come a long w..

With the V-Crest 10 LT, ATK has made an excellent entry-level binding that finds a compelling middle ground between price and performance. Like their other offerings, ATK includes the Elastic Response System, allowing the ski to flex naturally for consistent performance, both from the ski and binding.

While the regular Raider bindings were already known for having a high performance-to-weight ratio, the Raider SL 12 from ATK truly exemplifies this principle. Utilizing the same tried and true heel piece of the Raider line, the Raider SL 12 has all the features of a modern fully featured binding: Elastic travel, two heel risers thoughtfully secured using magnets, adjustable releas..

As we've journeyed away from the archaic days when frame bindings reigned supreme, many have found that light doesn't necessarily equate to total compromise. For those who count grams, value durability, and enjoy a fully featured binding, the Raider SL 14 from ATK may fit the bill. Built with the same heel piece as many others in the iconic Raider series, you'll be treated to elast..

Compared to the other skins in the Pomoca stable, the Tour Pro has the longest plush length, providing the best grip out of the lineup. To reduce friction while skinning, the Tour Pro features a permanent glide treatment that gives it exceptional gliding mannerisms, allowing you to move wi..

Simple, elegant, and functional. The Black Crows Duos Freebird poles are a reliable companion in the mountains, whether you're slashing through deep powder or navigating tight and technical skin tracks. The thick 7075 aluminum upper tube provides durability for the toughest terrain while the stiff carbon lowers reduce swing weight and provide excellent power transmission. On long d..

Whether you count yourself amongst this group or just like overbuilt, durable touring gear, you should consider the Black Crows Furtis pole. Black Crows informally refer to this pole as "the beast."
