Arc’teryx Ralle Parka
The RALLE PARKA for men is the total package for harsh winters: Coreloft synthetic insulation keeps you warm when temps plunge, and the breathable, 40D GORE-TEX outer fabric delivers durably waterproof, windproof and snowproof protection. An adjustable StormHood elevates coverage, cuff gaskets seal out drafts, and the extra parka length keeps you well-covered on long missions. www.arcteryx.com

Sustainable MaterialsBackpacker’s Pantry
With roots stretching back to 1951, BACKPACKER’S PANTRY meals are today used worldwide by trekkers, sailors, extreme athletes, explorers, the military, hunters, campers and the US Ski Team. It may be freeze-dried survival food with a three-year shelf life, but it sure tastes fresh and restaurant-ready. When you’re hovering over a camp stove on a backcountry ski or paddling trip, something this good and easy to prepare is truly a small miracle. www.backpackerspantry.ca

MoonBike
Crafted in the French Alps, the MOONBIKE is best described as an e-snowbike with benefits. The forks, neck, frame and handlebars are configured like a bike. And also like a bike, it’s just 28 inches wide and will fit on a hitch carrier or truck bed. The top speed is 42 km/h and the battery life depends on variables such as terrain and conditions but typically it will run for 35 km in Eco Mode. You can double that distance by adding a second battery. We haven’t tried a MoonBike yet, but we’re hoping for a demo soon (as is every other outdoor media outlet in North America). www.moonbikes.com
YETI Roadie 48
The new ROADIE 48 WHEELED COOLER is built for navigating tailgate crowds and taking big lunches to go, with the same cold-holding power you’d expect from a Tundra. And from the handle to the durable wheels, this thing is indestructible. Now also available in a 60. www.yeti.ca
