ROVA’S HOLIDAY GEAR GUIDE

We’d like to thank 2019 for being a pretty stellar year when it comes to gear. Brands are pushing the boundaries when it comes to innovation, creating gear that is stronger, more practical and, dare we say it, better-looking than what came before. Not only that, but the effort that many of our favorite brands are making to consider the environment above all else when designing their products is proof that there are folks doing business who aim to make the world better. We’ve researched and tested a bunch of products across a range of categories; check ‘em out, and hopefully you’ll find a new pal to bring with you on your next adventure.

Wear it out

Ridge Merino makes clothes that are so soft and comfortable, they make you want to live in them. The company’s new Aspect range features a long-sleeve shirt that is extra long in the body and arms to prevent chilly breezes pushing their way in, as well as bottoms that are perfect for use under ski or snowboard gear. For softness, there is no comparison, and the wool makes sure that you stay warm while still being dry and comfortable. They say it’s the best merino wool clothing available, and we can’t disagree.
