I was cliffed out above 500 feet of exposure, while exploring a new descent that branched off a classic couloir I’d skied countless times. To make the situation worse, I was running late, and the afternoon sun was cooking the snow above me.  I hastily transitioned to ski crampons to bootpack up. Thankfully, my Julbo Launcher Reactiv ski goggles had a vent on the lens that I could open, rather than rummaging through my pack for sunglasses. At first, I thought that Julbo’s venting feature might be a gimmick. “Simple is better” is also fundamental to my gear selection. But…

My hometown of Portland, Oregon, is a city often imagined as a land filled with coffee shops, craft breweries, a new tech industry, and a free-artist vibe, along with a healthy dose of the outdoor vibe. While that is still somewhat true today, one thing that hasn’t changed here since I was a kid is the hidden knife culture that exists here, and it’s one thing that I think the Rose City deserves a bigger spotlight on: it’s the knife-making capital of the United States. Producing over half of the knives sold domestically, Portland is home to some of the…

As part of Fenix’s Advanced Command Edition (ACE) Series, it has a SET mode — a hidden switch tucked beneath the neck of the flashlight — that puts configuration in…
