  All-around alpine pack for skiing, climbing, and mountaineering

  Charge headlong into winter’s white light with the pack built for alpine adventure. The Hyperlite Mountain Gear Prism 40 beckons ice climbers, mountaineers, alpinists, and backcountry skiers to think big and go deep. Designed to meet at the intersection of speed, weight, security, and comfort, this top-loading pack features an extendable drawstring closure and an adjustable, removable low-profile lid. The hip belt provides two gear racks and two ice clipper slots, but is removable when not required for the task at hand, or when wearing a climbing harness. Highly adjustable compression straps secure crucial equipment while keeping the pack close to the body for free and unrestricted movement.

  Climbers can store a rope under the lid, glacier adventurers can store their wands in the side pockets, and backcountry skiers can depend on the A-frame carry when they’re on foot marching up the steep stuff. Alpinists of all types can round out the pack with the Prism Crampon Bag and Prism Ice Screw Case for an even more dialed setup (each sold separately). However you move when the cold comes calling, the Prism brings your pursuits into focus.

Footprint sold separately.

After a number of internal studies, Hyperlite has decided to remove the metal grommets from the weep holes of their packs. This product may ship with or without the grommet as they are phased out from Hyperlite's inventory.
The grommets were not an essential feature to the weep holes of the pack. Hyperlite has determined there is no physical function of these grommets and they have been merely for aesthetic purposes. Their design and production team has developed a consistent method of precision drilling the holes in the fabric. The heat generated from the friction from this process will seal the edges of the weep holes and eliminate the chance of the fabric fraying. This will now make the holes just as strong as when constructed with grommets.

Downhill Weapons for Wild Downhill Runs: X-Bionic TerraSkin X00/C First Look Review
  The trail ahead is rocky, steep, and covered with patches of snow and ice. I plunge forward, dropping from the ridge as sunrise crests over the Great Plains below.

Men Die More, Snowboarding Is Safer, and More Surprising Insights From Lifetime Ski Study
  Jake Shealy didnt used to wear a ski helmet. When he started researching them in the early 1990s, almost no one did.

There wasnt any data to...
Gravel Brands Are Failing Women Riders
  Every single bike brand will tell you that more women on bikes is an important goal.

The practice is even more common in the world of gravel cycling.   The details that set the stage That’s the gist of the...
Stay Warm on the Coldest Ski Days: Stellar Equipment Free Down Parka Review
  It’s the bluebird days that tend to sneak up on me. High air pressures and high altitudes in Colorado can make for devastatingly cold air temperatures, even though it doesn’t look cold outside when you’re layering up.

Thats because the LD45R doesnt have any moving internal parts. Instead...
Watch: Death-Defying Winch-Propelled Road Gap Attempt Goes Off the Rails
  Most people would shudder at the idea of launching themselves on skis into the air and across a road. But using a gas-powered winch to ramp up your speed for a world record-sized road gap attempt?

Outdoor Research Women’s Carbide Bibs-Plus Review: Technical, Non-Insulated Bibs for Bigger Bodies

Stylish, Weatherproof Snowboard Jacket: L1 Premium Goods Axial Review
  Barricading yourself against the elements is essential for powder hounding at the hill — but doing so with a flare of style is a tougher win.

  The frantically waving, stout brown tail in front of me tick-tocks too fast to set a proper jogging cadence, but it does add its own gleeful encouragement to my swift downhill hike.
