The Garmisch is an uber-cool ski jacket available in 5 different colours; we tested the light blue with black detailing. My first impressions of the Garmisch jacket were positive.

The Series 3 by Sportube is their largest and most versatile case. The idea behind the product is that when you go on trips with family and friends, you can all consolidate your gear into the one Sportube. It was originally designed to hold two snowboards with boots and bindings, but it will hold three sets of skis or a snowboard and skis, spear fishing gear - all sorts, really!

The Darwin Ski Jacket produced by Faction is a durable, technical outer shell that will protect you even on the harshest of slopes. It features a 20,000mm/20,000gm Toray Dermizax three-layer fabric, Stunner Stretch material technology, sealed seams and a helmet-compatible hood, to name a few. Available in four colours - Colbalt Blue, Field Green, Rosso Red and Russet Brown - and in sizes S-XL, we received the Field Green variety to look in to in more detail.

The EXV range from Giro has been designed to allow quick and seamless switching of lenses to adapt to changing weather and light conditions. The Snapshot Magnetic Lens system is a super-fast, idiot-proof way to change your lens. There are magnets around the edge of the semi-frameless goggles that securely guide the lens into the correct position - simply push on the upper right corner and it will click into place. To release the lens, press down on the shutter-style button on the top right of the frame and rip the lens way.
