Orca has been making wetsuits for triathletes and open water swimmers for years. I love and use my open water wetsuit for swimming in Lake Tahoe, CA during the colder months of the when the water drops below 60F. With that said, Orca just entered the surf world with a splash. Taking their incredible knowledge from triathlons and open water swimming, Orca’s new surf wetsuits, Tango and Kabuki, are a perfect way to spoil that surfer in your life. These wetsuits are some the best on the market with a stellar fit.
Sonos Ace:

Sonos Ace has become this writer’s favorite tech item of the year. I use these headphones for everything from writing this article to flying to Egypt to working out in a climbing gym. The Sonos Ace are light, have an incredible battery life, and fit my head. That last one is key. I have used several different over-the-ear headphones and they never fit right. However, the Sonos Ace rest on my head perfectly. Now, let’s chat battery life. These headphones are incredible. We are talking active use throughout a 36-hour travel day and I still have 25% left, impressive!
My favorite features are the sounds the headphones make when turning on, connecting, and making adjustments to volume. The sounds are simple, but they let me know what I am doing.
The final added bonus, the carrying case these come in have a great touch with their felt cover and easy to use zipper.
Juiced E-bike:

There is nothing like ripping around on an e-bike and Juiced has made one of the most fun e-bike on the markets. I have personally testing four different brands of e-bikes and the Juiced Scorpion is hands-down my favorite because the seat is plush, the throttle makes you feel like you are on a motorcycle, and the suspension makes on-and-off road fun. I am not sure if Juiced intended for users to jump this beast, but I have taken it over a few jumps and landed smoothly every time.
Blizzard
Blizzard Zero G Skis:

If the adventurer in your life loves the outdoors, especially in the winter, there is nothing better than gifting access. That is exactly what you are giving when you gift the Blizzard Zero G backcountry skis to the adventurous person in your life. I have been riding on these skis for a season now and will never look back. They are incredibly light, work in powder, and function at a resort if you chose to take them there. As a ski, this might be the one ski quiver you will ever need. The only draw back to these might be riding waist deep powder… but let’s be real, if you are in Japan or Jackson Hole gliding through pow like that, you are most likely going to have some powder skis.
Isle Switch Inflatable Sup:

When it comes to spoiling somebody who loves the water, the Isle Switch inflatable SUP is just that. Switching between a SUP and a sit-on-top kayak this playful design give the paddler the best of both worlds. I have used this to fish from and enjoy a day of kayaking with my dog on Lake Tahoe and haven’t been disappointed. Overall, the design is simple and clean. It is easy to switch between SUP and kayak on land; and the material is very durable, so I don’t worry when I am tossing it in the back of car with some sand on it or my dog is gripping his nails into the front while we paddle.
Mammut Barryvox S2:
Click to order yours now [$599.00]
While you hope to never use this safety tool, the Mammut Barryvox S2 is the peak performance when it comes to avalanche safety. This beacon functions, enough said, right?! Kind of. Using a beacon to save somebodies life is no joke when you are in the backcountry skiing, so having equipment that is easy to use and accurate matters. I have found this in the Mammut Barryvox. The user interface is simple and the locking top feature ensures there will not be any slippage while skining or getting smashed in an avalanche. Make sure to get a probe and shovel as well if you are headed into the backcountry.
