Honestly the showers pass waterproof socks would make a good gift. I put off getting waterproof socks forever thinking spending that much on socks is silly but they're the only 'wet feet' solution I've used that works, and will probably last longer than my shoes.

There's a full 24 minute episode on red bull tv and it (and the whole series) is really good!

I was using one daily at work, similar black diamond model, and just found it a pain dealing with batteries over time and switched last winter and will never go back. Frequent use, USB is the way to go for me!

USB rechargeable head lamps can be had for similar or less than that one, much more convenient if you use it a lot

Ha, my favourite part is both of them together  cost less what 1 bike in this article would cost

I'm sure everyone's frothing over my cheap,  stock, black, Toyota matrix and my cheap (ok- mid range aluminum),  stock, black trek remedy

My package didn't work for me, Lululemon athletic does though

My new move for winter has been wearing a pack, which these days seems like the least cool thing to do. But when I pull out a puffy, spare gloves, toque, lights, etc... Makes me glad I'm not going minimalist like in summer!

Then all the friends that would rather freeze or wear too much then have nowhere to put things because they wouldn't be caught wearing a pack are jealous lol

Edit, also doubling up with nitrile or latex gloves from your first aid kit or whatever is a good way to beef up your gloves in a pinch, I've been putting them on the outside of regular bike gloves in downpours, lose a little grip but dry hands are nice, seen people putting them as the first layer too but haven't tried myself

Careful with what you stash in those elastic side pockets, lost a multi tool out of there. Added another Velcro strap around that part so it doesn't happen again.

I now fit ; zip ties, tire plugs +poker, quick link, multi tool, patch kit, 27.5 tube in mine.

This could be easier to operate with frozen numb hands too

According to this like 70% of truck owners never tow, haul or go off road

That new 'hangover' light looks perfect

I,m looking to get the flash light models. Tired of having to strap a battery to my helmet , and frame. With the new LED,s and battery's you can get several hrs of quality light and burn time. Just undecided on model , brand and lumen's.

I wouldn’t want a heavier battery and light on a helmet. I find the weight hard on my neck.

I find if it's pretty well centered I don't notice, if it's mounted right at the front of the helmet maybe. I have a portland design works lars rover 810, and used to use a nite rider lumina 650. And I've lost or broken most of the mounts so I do DIY ski strap mount to the helmet haha. If I was getting something new the niterider lumina series is pretty straight forward, they make a mini version that might be nicer on the helmet. Heard the bontrager light is really good too.

Fat tug is fun and has a bit of everything I'd lean that way.

I think about 80 but some is work

The other week it snowed a lot up there so obviously makes sense if it's completely unrideable, don't know about today it was really cold and barely anyone in the park.

Closed today, maybe snowed last night I think it's probably a day by day basis with the weather.

If you can figure out vehicle(s), a point to point from Roberts Creek to langdale on 103/102 is a good time

Ask Off The Edge in Sechelt for recommendations there's always new trails or updates happening on the Coast

I thought that too, making a little zig zag there around the mud wasn't very flowy

Maybe not available in all markets? Who knows... 

I see it here too https://r2-bike.com/MAXXIS-Tire-Minion-DHF-29-x-250-WT-3C-MaxxGrip-TR-EXO
