What to shop for in the REI ski and snowboard sale
A good quality snow helmet can be a literal lifesaver when skiing or snowboarding. Check out the Giro Jackson MIPS Snow Helmet which is currently down to $95 in select colors, reduced from $190. The helmet has been inspired by the aerodynamic airflow of high-end auto with Passive Aggressive Venting effectively managing airflow and temperature. A Stack Vent aligns with the center vent of your goggles so they stay fog-free while the in-mold construction fuses a tough polycarbonate outer shell with an impact-absorbing foam liner. It stays fresher too thanks to its Polartec Power Grid lining and incorporation of silver salt which inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
For anyone following snowboarding trends, how about the Anon M4 Toric Snow Goggles which are down to $160 from $320? They have a low-profile, helmet-compatible frame with 40% thinner face foam which provides optimal wall-to-wall vision and optics. There’s triple-layer face foam along with a moisture-wicking, Outlast Fog Management face fleece layer which improves antifogging. You can even wear prescription glasses underneath the goggles.
While budgeting for checking out the best all-inclusive ski resorts, make room for the things that are easy to forget like the Dakine Heli Pro 20L Snow Pack which is down to $48 from $120. The 60% discount is great for this kind of pack. It accommodates a snowboard carried vertically or horizontally with skis carried in a diagonal or A-frame configuration. It has a redesigned front organizer pocket with sleeves for your snow tool or shovel, as well as other slots including front stack pockets and a large fleece-lined goggles pocket. An insulated hydration sleeve doubles as a 15-inch laptop sleeve for days away from the slopes.
