Dry Guy- the boot and glove dryer

Dry Guy- the boot and glove dryer

[Get It $95]

Dry Guy boot and glove dryerIf you like putting on wet gloves and boots then you should buy the DryGuy for a normal person, because you’re weird and the DryGuy is awesome. 
I love when a product works the way it’s supposed to work.  I dowsed a ski boot, sock, glove and hat then slapped them all on the DryGuy. The ski boot actually dried quickly, in about an hours time as did the hat and glove.  The tube sock took a bit longer because I had to reposition the lower region that had been scrunched up at the base. 
The unit gently dries with your choice of warmed or un-warmed forced air. 
It’s nice to just throw your wet boots or gloves on the machine and leave it be, no holding a hair dryer while it over heats and blows a circuit. No more leaving wet boots out until you’re forced to put them on still cold and wet.  Another bonus of the DryGuy is that the aeration helps eliminate unpleasant odor.  This is a must have item for any dedicated skier, snowboarder, or winter wonderland adventurer.

Ultralite Rescue Sled – just incase you want to live

Ultralite Rescue Sled – just incase you want to live

Seriously, most avalanche training focuses on digging a person out, but true rescue only happens when a victim has received medical attention. The crew at Brooks-Range Mountaineering knows that self-rescue is often the only rescue in remote settings, so they’ve made the Ultralite Rescue Sled small enough to easily stow in a backpack. Only 23 ounces and packed to the size of your lunch bag, the Ultralite Rescue Sled transforms a pair of skis and poles into a stable and weatherproof rescue sled. Optional assembly with the Sharktooth Shovel makes the ultimate ski rescue package.

Cover your bare hands with Bear Hands!

[Get It $20]

Bear HandsI’ve always been a fan of mittens; they do a better job keeping your hands warm because they allow your fingers to huddle together like four little naked bodies trying to survive a K2 expedition gone horribly wrong. 
Bear Hands has given us a new reason to like mittens and bears.  These cleaver paws are 100% polyester with PVC non-slip grip and Thinsulate lining.  Each pair has a Velcro sealed access point for quickly attending to things that require dexterity, such as picking up a penny or micro-reconstructive surgery.

Whether you’re a Maine black bear, nittany lion, wild cat, husky, cougar or wolverine, you can show your school spirit with bear hands.  Personally, I’m partial to the more real looking Acrylic models because they’re incredibly soft.

**If you’re looking for a cute baby gift, you need to pick up the Bear Hands in cub size
pink or blue.
