ecologyst Peak Hoodie

Backed by a lifetime guarantee, the ecologyst Peak Hoodie is made with organic cotton fleece and has a minimalistic peaked hood and ribbing along the sides for mobility no matter your outdoor adventure. Available in Clay, Pacific, and Lichen, this is a Forever Hoody, as customer Nathan S shares: “I bought my first Peak hoody 15 years ago and it’s still going―worn by me and my then-girlfriend (now wife). It’s the best.” www.ecologyst.com

ecologyst makes all of its apparel in North America. So they can reduce their carbon footprint, ensure great working conditions for garment workers, and keep a close eye on quality. The Hoodie is also made of 100% certified organic cotton. And like all ecologyst garments, it’s guaranteed for life. So if the zipper wears out or you get a snag, send it back to ecologyst and they’ll fix it for free. If they can’t, they’ll replace it with something comparable.

Costa Santiago

Fishing and paddling don’t stop when it’s cold and neither do we. The Santiago‘s Untangled frame style offers the most coverage and “fishability” and takes its name from Chile’s capital. Hooding and side shields help keep your eyes free from light leak and focused on the water. Keeper-ready temples and Hydrolite rubber grips are designed to keep you fishing or paddling no matter how rough it gets out there. And the scratch-proof Blue Lightwave Glass lenses reveal all the clarity and detail you need on that water—and they’re 20% thinner and 22% lighter than average polarized glass.

Exploring the sights around beautiful Sutton, Quebec with ML creator @adv_bird ❄️🫶
Back on the road with three generations, dancing lifties, best-on-planet pizza and elusive-but-exquisite pow days.

The Southern Interior region of BC holds an ecological cross-section of the province with alpine meadows, arid Douglas fir grasslands, damp cedar and hemlock forests of the Columbia Mountains and the warm expanse of Shuswap Lake.

Conceived by superhuman snowboarder @travisrice, the @naturalselection Tour highlights earth’s premier riders, from big-mountain mavens to Olympians, all competing on the most stoketastic—and unpredictable—terrain known to humankind.
Built upon a shared desire to enjoy, respect, and advocate for Alberta’s incredible landscapes, it was a natural fit for @elementsoutfitters to work with a local conservation organization @saltslandtrust to highlight the province’s rugged beauty and outdoor apparel to match.
THE UNINVITED INVITATIONAL April 13-16 @woodwardtahoe 😱 $40,000 cash prize purse and a whole lotta spotlight on a group of riders whose time has finally come!! Presented by @jess.kimura and @thenorthface and supported by @yeti @capitasupercorp @slushthemagazine @unionbindingco @smithoptics @sunbum @coalheadwear @fattire 🫡 watch the finals in person Saturday April 15 and join the crew + @btbounds for a public ride day Sunday April 16 @borealmtn. Time to make some history!!! #linkinbio to learn more!
Close your eyes and, for a moment, imagine yourself deep in the polar regions aboard an expedition ship stuck in the ice. The white pack-ice is dazzling, and the immobile vessel seems frozen in time and space. That experience piques your curiosity, doesn't it? Without having to go all the way to Antarctica, you can experience these icy sensations 30 minutes from Quebec City in one of Bora Boréal 's two floating cottages.
