When I think of Schöffel, I don't necessarily think of modern and highly technical freeride clothing. So I was all the more pleasantly surprised when the La Grave suit arrived in my mailbox. The first thought was that it felt good. The second was that it was comfortable to wear and the third was the casual cut.

From time to time you need a new toiletry bag, especially if you travel a lot. I've always had a "classic" toiletry bag on wheels for the last fifteen years and have now entered new territory with the Evoc Bag. I liked my old rolling bag, but unfortunately it is now falling apart. Let's see what the Evoc Wash Bag can do!

We were lucky enough to get the Chariot stroller new, although it is certainly just as good used. I'm writing about the new condition because you can see right from the start that this product has been thought through down to the last detail and will work perfectly for a Thule lifetime!

I recently received this book as a gift. In terms of format (size, weight) and structure, it's not a book I would devour, but I enjoy it regularly for a few pages, then put it aside and look forward to the next Bergmenschen.

The first contact was already very pleasant, the fit was perfect for me. I am 1.86, 83 kg and the size M fits me perfectly.

To be honest, I don't even know how I came up with this Gear of the Week. I think it rather found me! I had been looking for skis that would suit my needs for some time, namely slalom skis for pre-season preparation on the piste and for in-between, a powder ski for fat days, an everyday freeride ski and an early-season touring ski for 2,000 vertical meters plus, narrow couloirs and alpine adventures.

The tour described here is a summit that is not visited very often. However, this is completely unjustified, as it offers a magnificent panorama, magnificent and varied downhill options and, if desired, ski in/out directly from Zernez railway station.

When I saw the Duke last year, I knew I had to test it and it had to go on the Rustler 11. I had already bought the first Duke back then and was a big fan, but then switched to ATK as the material developed.

Ich habe die Hose Ende letzter Saison bekommen und wusste ehrlich gesagt erst nicht genau, wofür ich sie einsetzen soll. Nun ist es mir klar: die Hose ist für nahezu alles zu gebrauchen. Ok, bezüglich Stylefaktor und Funktionalität könnte es am Wiener Opernball schon auffallen, dass du einen edlen Zwirn für andere Einsatzbereiche trägst, aber sonst bist du mit der Hose überall safe.

What actually makes a good probe? Or: why is the Mammut Carbon Probe 280 speed lock particularly recommended, and what do we perhaps not find so good?

Etnies, a veteran skate shoe company, not only soles the feet of skate greats such as Ryan Scheckler and Chris Joslin, but also those of Berlin pro "Willow". With the new winter line and the Jefferson MTW, everyone's feet are pampered and winterized.

Before I could publish this article last season, the season was unfortunately already over. But that's no reason not to catch up on this Gear of the Week, especially as it's still bang up to date!
