ProView – BlackYak Niata Jacket

December 6, 2019April 28, 2021BlackYak, Mountaineering, ProView Gear Reviews, Snow Garth Tino Leave a Comment on ProView – BlackYak Niata Jacket

Puffy coat selection is very personal. Some coats pack down well but lack the necessary fill or features for real winter conditions. Some coats are loftier with more fill, but lack the ability to compress and weigh too much. I took…

Looking for a versatile, insulated jacket to romp in the mountains with? Look no further than the Black Yak Nelore Jacket. Throughout my years of climbing it has become more and more apparent that layering is paramount for performance and…

ProView – Rab Cirrus Flex Hoody

November 22, 2019January 7, 2021Camping, Mountaineering, ProView Gear Reviews, Rab, Snow Allison Lano 3 Comments on ProView – Rab Cirrus Flex Hoody

I received this jacket right as I was headed out the door to catch a plane to Ohio for the weekend. I needed to take a jacket that was lightweight and compact, as I didn’t have much space left in…

ProView – Ortovox Haute Route 32

November 20, 2019January 7, 2021Ice Climbing, Mountaineering, Ortovox, ProView Gear Reviews, Snow Paul Fotter 2 Comments on ProView – Ortovox Haute Route 32

Ski touring is a gear-intensive sport. It can be tough to find a pack that holds gear specifically how you like it. I’ve often found that many companies developing packs to hold gear in innovative ways can forget one of…

ProView – Faction Skis Prime 3.0

November 8, 2019January 7, 2021Faction, Mountaineering, ProView Gear Reviews, Snow Outdoor Prolink Pro Leave a Comment on ProView – Faction Skis Prime 3.0

Faction’s Prime 3.0 ski is a well-rounded, hard-charging freeride ski. It is durable, maneuverable, and stable at high speeds. Its lightweight and stiff flex make it a go-to mid-winter backcountry ski. Performance I had the pleasure of testing and skiing…

November 4, 2019January 7, 2021BlackYak, Mountaineering, ProView Gear Reviews, Snow Outdoor Prolink Pro 1 Comment on ProView – BlackYak Brangus Jacket

A good jacket is something I never leave home without, especially living in Colorado where the weather can turn on a dime any time of the year.  If you are wet or cold on your nature outing it makes the…

ProView – EXPED Black Ice 45L Backpack

October 30, 2019January 7, 2021Exped, Ice Climbing, Mountaineering, ProView Gear Reviews, Snow Outdoor Prolink Pro 2 Comments on ProView – EXPED Black Ice 45L Backpack

A good alpine climbing pack is a beautifully simple piece of equipment. It should be lightweight, reasonably durable, carry high and tight on the back, and have a minimalist design to stay nimble in the mountains. The EXPED Black Ice…

September 30, 2019January 7, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Climbing, Ice Climbing, Mountaineering, Outdoor Research, ProView Gear Reviews Seth White Leave a Comment on ProView – Outdoor Research Gear for Denali

Dialing my Denali Kit We struggled to put one foot in front of the other, gasping for every single breath. Digging deep and fighting for each foot, we finally, after what seemed like a never-ending stair climb from hell, reached…

September 27, 2019January 7, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Julbo, Mountaineering, ProView Gear Reviews Kat Schaumberg 2 Comments on ProView – Julbo Cham Glacier Glasses

This spring I took the Julbo Cham sunnies to the slopes of some Alaskan mountains to see if their classic style could match up to the epic views of the alpine ski terrain. With over 15 hours of daylight and…
