Gear Girls: Take Aim
Whatever your activity, whether it be shredding groomed trail at a million kph, or slashing pow in the backcountry, you need the arsenal. You wouldn’t go into battle without a weapon, the same way you wouldn’t saddle up your whip without the right equipment. Time to gear up.
Girls and Guns. A match made in heaven.
509 Women’s Ride Tee – $29 – We at Mountain Sledder don’t exactly endorse shooting your clothing prior to wearing them, but we’re not formally against it either. You know what? You’re your own man. Shoot your clothes. We’re not going to tell you what to do. www.ride509.com
509 Gear Bag – $60 – Effective operators don’t have their goggles in the centre console, one glove under the seat, one in the dryer, their transceiver in their Carhartt pockets at home and spare socks rolled up in their back pocket. Get your shit together. Literally. www.ride509.com
509 Altitude Helmet – $265 – Lighter… Faster… Stronger. This all-new helmet from 509 is going to change your game in a big way, with an improved fit, neck-brace-ready shape and optimal peripheral vision. This is the helmet Brett Turcotte wears, and that’s saying a lot. www.ride509.com
