FOR THE GEARHEAD
BERN BAKER HELMET
Bern specializes in comfortable lowprofile helmets. The cool-looking Baker has a visor for sun and weather protection and a removable knit audio liner that keeps your ears warm and your MP3 player cranking. $100 @ bernhelmets.com
HEAD MICROGEL EXTREME PRO
With technological advances like Head's new MicroGel, tennis is more about power and speed, but it will always require control. The Extreme Pro racquet, with added weight for harder hitters and a wider playing area for more spin, will help you hit winners exactly where you want them. $160 @ head.com
GIANT TRANCE X0
This new full-suspension mountain bike looks like it should run on gasoline, but the trail hog is all man-powered. The ultralight aluminum frame, Fox suspension, and disc brakes are designed to take you from backyard cross-country cruisers to downhill bombers, no problem. This is the ultimate go-anywhere, tackle-any-trail mountain bike. $3,500 @ giantbicycle.com
SALOMON B52 TS GTX
Built to withstand the harshest weather conditions and the toughest beatings you can dish, the B52 TS is the ultimate all-purpose winter boot. A Gore-Tex shell keeps your feet dry and comfortable while an interior layer of Thinsulate ensures they're always warm. $135 @ salomonsports.com
ROME MOD WITH TARGA BINDINGS
Built for fun on the mountain, regardless of your ability level, the Mod is a wondrous, lightweight, all-mountain snowboard. Pair it with the customizable Targa bindings and you'll have the best setup on the hill. $550, $230 @ romesnowboards.com
QUIKSILVER CARRY ON
Quik's premium bag is worth every penny. It includes smooth rolling wheels, a laptop sleeve, travel wallet, laundry bag, toiletry kit, compression-molded base, sleek, covered zippers—even an internal LED system to light your way as you pack. $550 @ quiksilver.com
ATLAS 12 SERIES
Looking for easy access to faraway mountain peaks and snow-covered backwoods trails? Or just a superfun way to get around during the next snowfall? The lightweight 12 Series snowshoe is perfect for both. $260 @ atlassnowshoe.com
HAMMERHEAD SLED
It may sound like a glorified toboggan, but the Hammerhead is a lightweight, highend sled that allows you to carve and control your ride as if you were on skis. Take it to your local hill or even a ski resort—lots of U.S. mountains now allow them. From $299 @ hammerheadsled.com
