Bigger is better
Anyone looking for a downriver race boat or simply a monster kayak for those multiweek self supported trips head over to Dagger and check out The Green Boat. It's a 95 gallon beast that comes in just shy of 12 feet, so if you've been waiting for something to replace that Overflow X, the wait is over. It's a limited release production according to Dagger, so if you want one you'd better get to it.
It’s like a PFD… for avalanches.
I saw a few guys wearing these back in December at Sierra Nevada and then again last month in Chamonix. There are two different companies from what I've gathered, and the packs and airbags have slightly different designs, but the end idea is the same --to keep you on top of an avalanche. Check out the websites for more. ABS system www.abssystem.com and Snow Pulse www.snowpulse.com Here's a video of showing how the ABS pack works.
Yes, I am in fact cooler than you.
Chamonix may have been one of the coolest experiences in my life as of yet...
