This is the otter box cross rider 2020. Litre bag, and they've made lots of updates compared to previous years it's. Got everything in there that i could want to go touring with, and so we'll just take time to go through each. Of the features so first of all in our. Front pocket we have a deep pocket. Including a zippered one for all. Valuables included in there is a helmet. Net as well this is for when you've got. So many things in your bag you can attach your helmet onto the outside which will save space and mean that it's out the way in my main pocket we have. Access to the main space there's a space. For shovel and a probe and it's as well. Compatible with a water hydration system there's a hole at the top and cleverly. They've also added an insulated shoulder tube which should make sure that your water isn't going to freeze if you are miles away from civilization this main. Pocket can also be accessed from the. Back meaning it's a lot quicker to. Access any of the tools that you might need there's another little compartment. Here for any other important bits that you don't want to get lost in the main pocket when we talk about straps it's. Got the across the chest strap with a whistle it's also got a really strong. Waist strap with a really handy pocket. Here for quick access once you're touring and at the front we have all of these as well so if you've not got a lot in your backpack it's gonna help. Bring it nice and tight which makes it easier for walking obviously the. Attachment for the helmet can go on here as well there's also a strap here for ice axes, and they've also included both. A diagonal and a vertical and ski strap. Holders so depending on whether you. Prefer to have them diagonal not complete personal preference but you're not limited to one way with this backpack comes in at just. 850 grams so it's on its own with plenty of space it still. Shouldn't be too heavy by the time you filled it's a very comfortable backpack thanks to the padding that you. Can see on the back and on the side straps and on the shoulder straps so if. You are going quite far away it's going to be a really comfortable backpack it's available from many retailers including. Snow and rock in seven different colors at the price point of one hundred pounds.

This is a quick review of auto boxes free-rider 26 back country backpack which. I'm having to return to the supplier after only two days use due to been dissatisfied with the quality and having safety concerns the first problem comes. With how you secure the snowboard. Vertically using these upper and lower. Fastening straps its difficult to cinch. Tight these straps once they are. Fastened you have rather you have to put. The snowboard on attach the straps then. If there's any slack undo the straps take your best guess on how tight they should be reattached them hopefully by the third time the board will be secure. Enough but that's kind of redundant. Because after only 20 minutes whether you're just walking or hiking the board. Those straps start to come loose and the. Board starts swaying left and right the. Second problem i found was with the helmet net once the board is secured. Vertically you can then you then have the option of securing the helmet net above that the problem lies in two areas. The first is with these brittle plastic. Clips on each corner of the net that. Used to go into the upper and lower. Loops with the snowboard in place these loops sits inset beneath the snowboard. So these clips have to stretch around. And attach into those loops which puts a. Lot of pressure on this inferior plastic. And then the second problem is with the. Lower loop material themselves they. Don't seem to have taken into account that snowboards have edges sharp edges at that and already after only a few. Hours hiking this material has already started to fray and will eventually fail. I imagine on the second day of my hike i. Was about thirty minutes from the peak. Suddenly i hear my snowboard helmet falling down into a bowl beneath me. Because one of these clips broke i then. Had to get on my snowboard to take a line i didn't particularly want to take to retrieve the helmet which was. Something i would consider unsafe the. Third problem was with the stitching. Already on day to the left the right. Hand strap lower strap used to secure. The snowboard the stitching has already. Started to come away it hasn't happened on the opposite side yet but I'm sure it's just a matter of time other than that the navigate compartment is nice and roomy roomier than other packs I've. Reviewed the spine protector. Although adequate could really be extended beneath and above to it to. Protect other parts of the spine the. Waist chest and arm straps are all very. Good but i wouldn't really recommend buying this pack as it just doesn't seem to have been field-tested or despite the. High price bracket and the various. Endorsements and reviews thanks.

Okay so we've got the cross rider 20 backpacks here from otter box and it's. Kind of your daily ski touring bag it's. Really lightweight only weighs around 860 grams so that's a real plus. Side to this backpack you wouldn't want to take if you're going to further afield though and it's got some great features you've also got your whistles it's got a nice comfort on the back. There nice strong straps and a waistband. Here with extra pouches and you can. Access it from both the rear and from the top it's got a hydration system in. There and you've got obviously there's. Some lovelies finger tight everything's kind of hidden away in this bag so this is for your ski strap so you don't actually have to have the straps hanging around the whole time you can just pop them back in this little pocket and i think that's really cool because you know it's always like a little bit too many straps on backpacks nowadays i think so i like what they've done there you've obviously got for your safety equipment there's kind of like all the correct things for your probe and your axe and things like that so great little backpack got all the. Features you might need and yeah perfect. For those day to us so this is the otter box craft rider 20 liter and that's. Available from ellis brigham and retails at about 100 pounds.

Hey this is dave with tomm mountain. Sports I'm here to talk about the scarpa 80 boots that we have in stock today the. Gia rs for women and the australia rs. For guys or women with larger feet I'm gonna point out some quick features of. These two boots for you so you can kind of get a handle on what's going on here the mists rolly and the jia rs are the. Bigger earlier cousins of the regular. Mr. ali and jia they are stiffer 20. About 20 percent stiffer and their flex. Is going to be a more progressive flex, and they're also going to be a little bit lighter so if you're looking for. Sort of the lightest the highest performing boots on the market from scarpa this is gonna be where you want to go scarpa has a great system here it's called the exclusive excuse me the axial. Alpine technology it allows the boot to. Fully open up and what it also does is. Creates great power transfer when you're in ski mode of the boots and when you really when you're really forcing or. When you really are leaning forward and putting some pressure on your skis what this is doing is its transmitting power all the way through the bottom of the boot in a much consistent manner as you. Can see it opens up fully so you can get in and out with ease but having the buckle system all integrated is really. Going to keep it within a great power. Transmission zone a couple of other things to point out and I'll use the women's version on this one is this over. The cuff buckle right here this is going. To be great to keep your heel in place better than a lot of the boots are it's lowering that buckle so traditionally you'll see a lot of boot buckles up here. On the shin by having this come down further what you're really doing is locking that heal in place and allowing. For a better power transmission forward because you're not inhibiting the flex. On the shin area of the boot you're staying out of the way there so by locking your foot down and allowing for. A better flex that's what that piece is doing right there still have your traditional heel walk mode really nice. Big power strap on their feature we want to point out on all of these scarpa boots as scarpa works with dina fit quite closely they. Utilize the dean effect quick steppin system both dina fit and scarpa are the. Only boot companies to utilize this. Patented system from dina fit as you can see this little groove right here in the. Tech part of the toe allows for a very. Smooth step into a dena fit binding as. Opposed to i have a technical coach ease. Right here you can see the differences in the toes and basically you can see that this groove right here on the scarpa boot is going to allow you to step right in you have a nice clue. Little arrow there on the top toe area which is what you're going to be looking at when you actually have these boots on your feet verse is a technical or some of the other boots that do not have that quick step in system so on these boots for example you're going to be trying to align the toe piece of a dean of fit binding with. The holes here and the tech fittings on this boot verses on this scarpa boot you're going to be able to just step right in almost like an alpine binding and have a nice quick step in a. Couple of differences on the men's versus the women's boot and you can't quite see it because i have this liner out is that the women's liner is gonna come down lower on the calf women tend. To have a little bit of a shorter calf area, and so they're not going to be pinched by a higher liner and then both of these boots also come with intuitions pro liner this is an amazing liner. Superuser lightweight really flexible. You still have your walk mode flex zone. Here on the back as you can see you have. Some great stiffness here in the back of the calf and you have just a really lightweight package it's fully moldable. You can walk around let's say you're in camp or staying in a hut or you're just. Out in the back country camping out you can walk around in this boot on snow or ice no problems whatsoever then again highly moldable really easy. Super comfortable extremely lightweight. That's gonna do it again dave here with tom mountain sports come check us out online TLA mountain sports comm we've got both these boots in stock and happy but anywhere in the world for you.

Hey it's brad from back country skiing in canada calm and today we're here whitewater skiers are to talk to you about the 2016-17 scarpa f1 alpine. Touring boot the scarpa f1 replaces last. Year's f1 evo boot they had some issues. With the auto lock mechanism on the back, so they've taken that out and this year they are bringing to market just the scarp f1 no more evil so this is a. Dedicated super light turn boot it's only. Got one buckle as you can see and the boa system down on the forefront it weighs in at twelve hundred and thirty grams or two pounds 11 ounces and that's for half pair size 27 this is a 27 and a. Half boot here the reason it's so light is it uses a plenum id shell and cuff. With a carbon core technology and this carbon core provides the torsional rigidity you need in a boot that's this light so as i mentioned before there is. Only one top buckle here so this is a velcro buckle you do that up nice and. Tight and then you've got the buckle on the side to fasten things and cinch things down and then on the forefoot you. Have the alien inspired boa system and. This encloses the whole forefoot of the shell and gives you a nice secure fit in this area and then up top we've got a power strap as well one more accessible power strap at the top so the f1 has a. 95 flex so it's not the stiffest boot on the market it's a pretty soft boot but that's okay cuz it's a dedicated touring boot it's not really meant to ski the resort with but you can do it in a pinch it's built on 102 millimeters last and it's got a 20 and 22 degree forward lean. It's also got 62 degrees range of motion. So that's a really good range of motion forward and back most touring boots just have most of the range of motion to the back of the boot this has an equal forward and back i can't show it to you here because it's not mounted on a ski but it's got an incredibly good range of. Motion on the skin track you'll love this boot and the walk mechanisms on the back here, so we pop that down flex the. Boot and it's locked in super stiff now all metal ski walk mode here pop it open. And you're back in touring mode so it's really simple to operate the bottom side of the boot we've got a by room ufo evo. Salts are really good for scrambling up peaks walking around the resort lots of good grip inside we've got a tuition intuition pro flex evil lion. Intuition canadian company makes the best liners in the market and this line is no exception keeps you super warm but it's also light as well and very comfortable so the f1 comes in twenty. Four and a half to thirty-one incising and those are half sizes only I've been. Skiing the scarp f1 for the last few months got in advance of retail sales and been loving this boot on the skin track it's super light and it's got such a great range of motion that it feels like you're wearing running shoes when you're going up the hill I've been skiing this with my vocal bmt 109s. That's my touring ski and then at the hill I've also been testing this on my vocal vworker tannaz which are 112 underfoot that's a big ski to drive with such a small light boot it did an okay. Job if you need a nap in chi can do it can definitely ski the resort's not made for that it's made for touring because it's so light it's got such a great range of motion on it so that's the scarpa f1 alpine touring boot new. For 2016-17 replacing the scarf f1 evo's. And i highly recommend it gives it a look. If you're in the market for some touring boots and for everything else back country go-to back country ski in canada calm thanks a lot.

Hey my name's carter brown I'm here with technical we're an outdoor retailer with back country skiing canada I'm gonna talk to you guys about the new zero-g guide throw this is our new back country. Touring specific ski boot we decided to. Build this boot and come up with this ski boot we're an alpine brand we wanted. To really build a boot that truly performed on the town that was really a four buckle traditional overlap high-performance yet come in at a weight. Range with a range of motion and all the options that are really, so we've got a. New ninety-nine millimeter last really low volume in the heel and ankle great fit 44 degrees range of motion coming in. At about fifteen hundred and forty grams. Fully interchangeable solos allows you come with a rockered 18 so allows you. To add in seoul on the bottom really. There's nothing else out there that's like if there's nothing else out there that hits this range of motion. This weight that allows you to put ad insole on to have four buckles into the traditional overlap construction. We're really pumped about it we feel it really provides true downhill skiing experience but at a really unbelievably. Kind of lightweight. We also have kind of the little brother. Called the code the zero-g guide that. Comes in out of the 110 flex right around sixteen hundred and fifty grams same basic food is this yorgi guide pro. Just a little bit heavier a little softer plastic yeah you know and a. Little bit lower price point great for that person that really doesn't want to spend a ton of money wants a great performing a great skiing. Series of boots we think it's going to be a unique offering out there's a. Lot of people that are really looking for this type of boot maybe coming from an alpine background that want the fit and feel and function of their ski boots we want something that's gonna be really liked and allowed to use tech bindings yeah it's so really going to perform like they're out on booze.

Hey it's brad from back country skiing. Canada calm today we're gonna talk about the technical zero-g guide pro boot this. Is a new boot from technical it weighs in at 1524 grams are three point three six pounds and that's for the size twenty-six and a half so a relatively lightweight boot considering it's a four buckle overlap construction boot comes in different sizes twenty-two and a half to thirty and a half in half sizing all the way up and it's got a. Really respectable cuff rotation of 44 degrees given that it is an overlap construction boot the flex is rated at. 130 feels more like a 120 when you're skiing in the boot however and it's built on a ninety-nine millimeter laughs so the special things about the new. Zero-g guide pro are cas shell you can. See in the shell along the front here. And the side as well as the other side in two locations as well that it's got these dimples built into the shell basically these are the location of problem areas for people when their boot fitting so with this the dimples in the shell you've got less surface tension so it's easier punch out for the boot fitters the shell is made out of a by. Injected triax 3 which is said to be 30%. Thinner than traditional materials 18%. Lighter and two and a half times stiffer and this is a fairly stiff boot at 120. Considering that it's a alpine slash touring boot the liner itself is a heat. Foldable blue liner and it's got some. Good shin support there's actually a velcro add-on that you can add in that i ski with and it's got minimal seams as. Well it's also very light a very warm liner I've been skiing this. Boot in the last few weeks it's been -20 at the hill and my toes were getting. Cold but not as cold as i should have given the temperatures so it's very thick comfortable liner and almost too warm on warm days but nice on the colder days the cuff is made out of a light. Grid triax 3 and it's got strategic. Cutouts in the cuff itself so it will be the power strap get in here and have a. Look at it. So you can see these strategic cutouts here in the cuff and that again lightens. Up the shell overall the other thing to. Note about the zero-g guide pro is it's. Got replaceable sol blocks it's also got. Tech fittings so you can use them with tech bindings for touring and one of the coolest features that i love is the lift lock buckles so when you're buckling. Your boot unbuckling your boot traditionally these get relaxed on always when you're trying. To take the boot off but if you just pull the buckles back you can see that they flip back and out of the way and then when you're ready to buckle up again you just pull them in and away you go so lots of cool little features overall. I've been skiing this boot for the last few weeks and I've been skiing at the. Resort it's a great resort boot fairly light nice walk mode on the back here to go to walk and ski mode very easy to do. So you can walk around the resort and also to go touring in it you know it's not the lightest touring boat out there but it can tour and it really does well at the resort so it's kind of crossover boot for both aspects of skiing and I've been skiing this for a few weeks and been really happy with it the fit in the comfort nice stiff boot for the hill and it can still tour which is a good feature so gives you that versatility of skiing half-day the resort half-day in the back country it. Also comes in a zero-g guide the non pro. Version that comes in a 110 flex and it's 1700 grams so a little bit lighter but it's also a little bit cheaper at $660 and it also is available for women. So this version the pro version the zero. G guide pro is $900 u.s. so a little bit. More expensive than the non pro version but you will have some weight savings so. Overall great fitting boot nice warm liners stiff good for resort skiing and. It can also tour as well it's gonna be beefy for people that like a stiffer boot at the resort and still light enough with a respectable walk mode for people that want to go touring occasionally on it overall if you're. Looking for a nice new boot consider the technical zero-g guide pro or the zero-g. Guide without the pro yeah for more boat reviews go to back country skiing canada comm and for everything else back country you'll find it there as well thanks.
