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.The North Face, Arcteryx, Burton or Mark’s High 5

The North Face Men’s Free Thinker

The North Face, Arcteryx, Burton or Mark’s High 5

This jacket hasn’t changed in years, and I say this not as a criticism. Burly to all heck, a skier’s cut, and best of all comes in WHITE. For men! I know what I am asking for this holiday.

Arc’teryx Men’s Beta FL

The North Face, Arcteryx, Burton or Mark’s High 5

Sure I have a penchant for this Canadian brand, but this jacket uses Gore’s new membrane Active Shell. More breathable and lighter- what more could you want? How about the Citron colour it comes in? I’ll have 3, thanks.

The North Face Women’s Mountain Light Triclimate Jacket

The North Face, Arcteryx, Burton or Mark’s High 5

One price, two jackets. Gore-Tex hardshell protects a removable down jacket. Practical, versitle and hardcore. Sure it is in black- Jonny Cash wore black. Do you dislike Jonny Cash?

Icebreaker Women’s Oasis V Speed Crew

The North Face, Arcteryx, Burton or Mark’s High 5

Sure I love merino wool. You know what I love more than merino wool? Cool motifs. This Icebreaker top has both.

Burton’s Clutch Glove

The North Face, Arcteryx, Burton or Mark’s High 5

This glove is warm, tight-fitting and covered in that delicious membrane Gore-Tex. Small enough to wear throughout winter, but insulated enough to wear while skiing/riding. And the cuff, my lord, the cuff: fits nicely under any jacket.

Buy them, try them, thank me later.
