Devold
Our long-standing partner Devold has focused on revamping the existing range for the coming season. This means that the colors have been refreshed and some model variants have been added. For example, the Devold classic, the Nibba series. In addition to new colors, there is now also a version with a cozy, high collar. This range can be worn as a baby with the Nibba Playsuit, which will soon be the subject of a Gear of the Week!
Founded in 1853, this traditional company has long been committed to minimizing its ecological footprint, paying close attention to the welfare of sheep and setting high animal welfare standards. They have not only been working with us for many years, but also remain loyal to their dedicated farmers. This trust and good cooperation is reflected in the top quality.

Blizzard/Tecnica
The popular Rustler series skis have been given a refreshed design and the "Spur" series skis a symmetrical version. However, the greatest commitment of the development department went into the "All Conditions" series, where the harmonious flex is designed to support a safe skiing style in all conditions. A loyal companion that promises safety and reliability and an all-rounder for everyone. We are already looking forward to the test!
Tecnica will be relying on the tried and tested Cochise line next season: 99 mm last width, anatomical foot shape, thermoformable inner boot, adjustable tongue length of the inner boot, quick instep system for easier entry, Vibram sole (130 mm). Interchangeable alpine soles are available for the Cochise series. The top model (130 mm) also has a sportier and narrower fit and a wide strap that can be flexibly adjusted in walk mode. The new Chochise Light (approx. 1,600 grams) is primarily aimed at ascent-oriented mountain enthusiasts.
Mons Royale
"First On. Last Off." - that's the motto of the New Zealand brand Mons Royale. For the coming season, they have completely overhauled the graphics and given the entire range a refresh with a cool new design. The different looks that run through the entire product range are called, for example, 80s VHS videocassette style, Alpine retro, etc. But that doesn't mean that Mons is resting on its laurels when it comes to material development! New technologies and features are already being worked on for the 21/22 season.
The Stormtec Balaklava balaclava and the matching Balaklava neckwarmer are new additions to the accessories family. The thin gloves have also been further developed and touch technology has been added. There will also be a matching outer shell. With the Nevis Wool Fleece, Mons brings a companion for the whole year. The fabric blend of merino and polyester fleece makes it soft, warm and durable. The products from the "The Go To" line are also intended to be companions for every day and every activity.
ATK
The small (but rapidly growing) Italian binding manufacturer from near Modena has been working on new models for the next season, as well as revising existing ones. The bindings are milled entirely from aluminum. The stopper on the rear jaws of the freetouring/freeride models R12 and FR14 has proven its worth, only the locking button has been slightly modified so that it can now also be operated better with gloves.
The biggest highlights are the new additions to the Raider and Release series, as well as the completely new Front 12 binding. The highlight of the Front 12 is certainly the new front jaw. It features a new design that automatically activates the stoppers when the locking lever is set to ascent mode. The rear jaw has most of the features of the Raider collection (Z-value 5-12). The binding weighs 390 grams, stopper widths 86, 91, 97, 102, 108,120. RRP 555,-€ (560,-€ from stopper width 102).
The C-Raider 12 closes the gap between the R12 and the Crest 10. The low weight of just 305g including stoppers is a highlight here, as is the completely new toe piece made from a carbon mix.
At ATK, ambitious speed tourers looking for a binding without stoppers will also find what they are looking for. The Release 10 is robustly manufactured and, at a weight of just 240g, offers important safety features such as an adjustable Z-value and length compensation - unique in this class!
The beautifully designed freeride/tour bindings R12 and FR14 have already been launched this year and will be continued in the coming season. They impress with sophisticated features such as the Snow Pack Proof design, thanks to which neither snow nor stones can penetrate under the side arms. The toe piece is completely closed. The magnetic climbing aids offer five different positions and are manufactured to a very high standard. The Freeride Spacer is optional for the R12 and included with the FR14, an additional element that increases the contact surface of the boot and therefore the power transmission.
