106 ML BLUE WINTER 2019 SWIX EVO PRO EDGE TUNER Here’s a high-precision electrical side edge tuner, developed to restore, maintain and give your skis a World Cup finish. The Evo is very easy to operate due to its ergonomic design, quick disc-change and easy angle set-up. And the long-lasting diamond disc is independent from the user pressure, as it is attached to a spring, making it impossible to mistakenly change the radius of the ski. The Evo comes with a fine polishing disc included. Coarse, medium, and extra-fine discs also available. swixsport.ca ELAN ELEMENT Designed to boost confidence for new skiers and beyond, the Element helps you find the stability you need to progress faster. Often, skiers are challenged by balance management when overcompensating, transferring weight to the forebody or tail of the skis. Made with rib-shaped energizers, Groove Technology creates a uniform flex profile and works with the ski’s Parabolic Rocker Profile for just the right amount of forgiveness throughout the length of the ski to keep you balanced. elanskis.com HELLY HANSEN MEN’S GARIBALDI JACKET Helly Hansen’s new insulated waterproof/breathable/windproof men’s Garibaldi Jacket boasts a longer, relaxed silhouette for the deepest, coldest days. Helly Tech Professional 2L fabric in combination with the innovative H²Flow system dramatically improves your comfort and will keep you dry, warm or cool depending on conditions and intensity. Why bother with the hassles of bulky layering, when all you really need is this jacket? hellyhansen.com EDDIE BAUER MEN’S MICROTHERM 2.0 STORMDOWN JACKET The latest version of EB’s premium ultralight puffy has an improved, mobile fit, a slightly longer length for added coverage, a softer fabric to further enhance the comfort, and a secure drawcord hem to seal out cold. As an ultralight insulating layer, the MicroTherm is thinner than traditional down jackets. But that combination of minimal bulk and effective warmth is what makes it special, and is the result of its patented construction and exceptionally high-loft StormDown. eddiebauer.ca SCARPA MESCALITO APPROACH SHOES The Mescalito is advanced footwear for technical approach, via ferratas and mountain hikes.
