January 26, 2012Ski à Alta : Épluchage de mes vêtements

Ski à Alta : Épluchage de mes vêtementsPour les fétichistes du vêtement comme moi et mes collègues d'Altitude, la science des multicouches devient un art que nous nous plaisons à commenter. Chaque jour est une bonne excuse pour discuter de notre choix de vêtements par rapport aux conditions extérieures. Vous comprendrez donc que pour moi, un voyage de ski à Salt Lake City est comme une soirée bar ouvert pour un alcoolique : une occasion trop tentante d'exacerber ma passion. Voici donc les modèles que j'apporterai avec moi pour affronter cet incroyable coin de pays.

January 20, 2012The North Face Men’s Mansell Pant Review

The North Face Men’s Mansell Pant Review

It’s one thing to test the warmth of winter-wear when doing hard physical sports but it’s a bit different if you just plan on lounging around in the unforgiving cold like a lone emperor penguin. In that case, it’s not so much about wind resistance and more about keeping the heat of your inert body where it counts, in your pants.

I was going camping with two of my buddies on what was most likely going to be the coldest weekend of the winter. The whole thing materialized without much forethought. It was going to be a steady -23c the whole night without wind and I had no idea what I was getting into. I was probably generally ill equipped but I’m pretty sure I picked the right trousers.

January 19, 2012The North Face Crimptastic

The North Face CrimptasticRebecca Black struggles to choose where to sit in a car on Friday, and honestly I feel her pain. Some decisions are never easy to make. It’s the middle of winter and you’ve been pushing back exercise since last fall because it is too cold. Survivor is about to start and you just ran out of salsa- what to do? Solution: run to town to get some more (for us in the country the local food mart is never ‘next door’). I could take my car, but between you and me both front doors no longer open and it is kind of embarrassing to be seen getting out the back in public (true story).

But here is my problem (besides the car door situation), what the heck do I wear to run in when it is -25 outside? My winter down jacket is made to keep me smoking warm at a standstill so jogging in it is out of the question. I have numerous base and mid layers but I would have to wear at least 5 layers to keep me warm enough. That would definitely irritate my delicate flower-like composure.

Royal trumpet sounds

Enter The North Face Crimptastic Jacket! A rare breed indeed.

November 24, 2011The North Face, Arc’teryx, Burton or Mark’s High 5

The North Face, Arcteryx, Burton or Mark’s High 5Max Altitude thinks he can pull the limelight onto his hulking shoulders by presenting a knowledgeable, well written article about this season’s winter picks on this infamous blog. He can try, and he may succeed, but… But nothing. I liked his article. However, being the attention-getter I am, I want to steal his thunder. And steal it I will, using the only way I know how- short attentions spans. Focus now, because it will be over before you know it. These are my picks as cool new items in the 2012 fall season.
