Outdoor-Ausrüstung

For years now, the Hexon has accompanied me on many adventures around the globe, from sea level to 6,000 metres, from sun to storm, from snow to rain. After around 500 firing missions, from coffee to Flüelatal porcini mushroom risotto, I take stock.

Sustainability is an important and topical issue that we at PowderGuide also address time and again with our partners. Scott is quite active in this area and strives to produce its own products as sustainably as possible, but also pays attention to things like working conditions at suppliers and producers along its own supply chains. We spoke to Andre Goodman, Scott's sustainability manager, about this topic.

As we all know, snow and cold are a good combination. After all, that's what we live for here at PowderGuide. The feeling in your feet is a completely different story: Wetness (snow) and cold don't mix particularly well. Thankfully, various manufacturers have come up with a remedy. Introducing: Our lined wellies!

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!

The latest ski model, the jacket with the latest membrane or simply the high-tech functional underwear. We buy - and we like to. But isn't our wardrobe full at some point? How we can learn to consume more sustainably and what the Patagonia "Don't buy this Jacket" campaign has to do with it.

Earthwell has grown from experience, meaning it has been developed by people who have spent the majority of their lives gaining experience in all kinds of outdoor sports. They have incorporated their experience and requirements into the various drinking vessels.

Greenpeace's Detox campaign has shown it: We outdoor sports enthusiasts are not environmental angels at all, but leave our footprint everywhere. Among other things, in the form of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated chemicals - PFCs for short. But why are they so bad and how do we get PFCs into the environment?

Outdoor clothing is harmful to the environment, full of PFC, conventional down or other problematic materials. As skiers, we often have to face these accusations. However, there are also companies that do things differently and place value on sustainability and environmental friendliness in their products. We have put together an outfit from such manufacturers for you here - from helmets to skis.

With a packing volume of 125 liters and a relatively low weight of 4200g, the Evoc World Traveller is a practical trolley for all kinds of trips - regardless of whether you are travelling by train, bus or car. In its product flyer, Evoc promises products with high quality, ingenious details and clever features. The gear reviews show whether Evoc can keep its promise.

For years, GOTW has been reporting almost weekly on things that make life on the mountain easier, worth living or are simply indispensable. Be it the PowderGuide Skistrap, the oven, furniture made from snow gliders, the 1-seater chairlift/tow lift, the Ikea bag, the Big Foot Promodel, touring bindings suitable for freeriding or even the gray cells.

In spring, when the fun of the lift becomes less for the common freerider and the joyful high skins become more, the additional equipment changes in small but important areas.

I can still remember the first time I saw an outdoor headlamp, even if it was quite a while ago. You don't get any younger... Although the models back then were still really big and heavy and not too bright, I immediately thought to myself: "really practical thing". After all, it not only keeps your hands free, but also automatically illuminates your field of vision.
