“Dynafit is the pioneering brand of backcountry ski equipment and we’ve continued to apply our cutting edge technology to Dynafit’s softgoods offerings as well,” said Dynafit’s North American Marketing Manager, Jamie Starr. “We’re excited to realize this breadth of recognition across multiple product lines from OUTSIDE MAGAZINE, which we view as one of most trusted sources for gear reviews.”

“Great gear is essential to making the best of our time outside, and for many of us, it’s the most valuable investment we make,” says OUTSIDE Buyer’s Guide editor Axie Navas. “The gear industry is innovating at an amazing pace to keep up with ever-changing outdoor trends, and we want our readers to reap all the benefits of these advances. The OUTSIDE gear team hit the trails and the back country on foot, bike, ski, and snowboard to put all the newest products to the test, and nearly 300 made the cut, with seven top-notch items winning our coveted Gear of the Year award. With the picks from the Winter Buyer’s Guide, our readers can be confident they’re facing the elements with the best gear on the market.”

Radical FT 2.0: The Radical FT is for ski tourers and freeriders who love the descent. Leaves no doubt - all other systems pale in comparison in terms of weight, performance, and safety. When the shock absorber is slid forward (LOCK!), the carbon plate stiffens. When in the “Lock‘” position the back rubber pieces provide shock absorption. The ski thus stiffens up. Also the torsional rigidity between the carbon plate and the toe piece increases. In the UNLOCK position, the ski has its natural flex characteristics. 

Beast 14:  The new Beast 14 is specifically designed for aggressive skiers who seek unbeatable uphill and downhill performance. It offers a DIN range of 5-14 and a reduced weight from its big brother, the Beast 16.

Men’s Yotei GTX:  The Yotei Jacket is designed and developed by and for those who push the boundaries of freeride backcountry skiing in big mountain terrain. Incorporating the latest in 3-layer fabric technology through the use of GORE-TEX® C-Knit Fabric with industry leading construction methods, the Yotei stands at the pinnacle of technical outerwear. With features like roomy chest pockets to accommodate ascension skins, a removable mesh powder skirt, and an ergonomic wrist cuff, the Yotei excels in fast, repetitive transitions between steep skin tracks and deep snow descents.

Women’s Chugach Windstopper:  From freezing snowstorms to crystal clear bluebird days, the Chugach Jacket was crafted to accommodate dynamic backcountry conditions. Strategically incorporating durable GORE-TEX®  Windstopper Softshell fabric where it’s needed most and lightweight stretch-woven, DWR treated fabric for heat-regulating comfort everywhere else, the Chugach shines bright with its thoughtful design and its advanced technology. 

Guide Boot GTX:  The new Winter Guide GORE-TEX® Boot is designed for those who prioritize warm, dry feet and long-lasting comfort.  The three-buckle boot has easy-to-use features, walking comfort, and reliable skiing performance, but it’s the internal microclimate that truly sets it apart with a revolutionary patented construction, combined with GORE-TEX® Performance. The liner‘s breathable, waterproof membrane allows water vapor to escape through the perforations present throughout the surface of the liner, ensuring the wearer‘s feet stay dry.
