Skiing Essentials for the Winter at Battery Junction!

Its that time of year again, it’s skiing season! Once the stress and intensity of the holiday season subsides it is time to hit the slopes, and there is no better place to gear up for your skiing trip than Battery Junction! This post will show you a few of the great cold winter sport accessories that we carry at Battery Junction.

Thermite Versipacktheshorelinemarket_2452_341749637

The Thermite Versipack from Maxpedition is a great product for your next trip to the mountains. Originally designed for tactical and military use, this pack can also double as one of the sturdiest skiing bags you can find. The Versipack has the ability to either be worn as a shoulder sling or to be firmly attached to the waist and leg. The waist and leg attachment is a great option for more high intensity skiing as it provides a much tighter grip. The Thermite features abrasion resistant nylon material that can stand up to the most rigorous and testing circumstances. Carrying a cell phone and other semi breakable material while skiing has never been safer with a #AS-100 high grade closed-cell foam padding material that can absorb the impact from some of your hardest falls. Competitively priced with other name brand skiing bags, this multifaceted Maxpedition bag is a great way to carry around all you need while on the slopes.

The Wiley X Nerve Goggles are a high quality alternative to the standard skiing goggles that most people choose to use. These Wiley X goggles are all you need and more for the job of  protecting your eyes while skiing. Originally designed for high speed biking and combat situations, the Nerve Goggles meet ANSI Z87.1-2003 high velocity safety and MIL-PRF-31013 Vo Ballistic Standards. ANSI Z87.1-2003 high velocity safety means that the glasses meet the protection standards for impact, non-ionizing radiation, and liquid splash exposures. MIL-PRF-31013 Vo Ballistic Standards refer to military standards testing with reference to the size caliber bullet that the glasses can absorb without breaking. In addition to being tough as nails these goggles also feature no-fog ventilation technology and the ability to insert a prescription into the lenses. The no fog ventilation technology will keep your vision field clear from clouding during those high intensity mogul runs. These goggles are a great buy for any skiing enthusiast who is serious about their eye protection!

4. Don’t get caught in the dark!

This goes without saying, but it is always important to have a quality flashlight around or in your car. With severe weather such as blizzards or thunderstorms, power outages are even more of a threat during the colder months. Plus, the risk for black ice increases anytime you venture outside. Might I suggest the powerful Nitecore Explorer? Check out our vast selection here. More importantly, in the event your car breaks down, nothing can ruin holiday spirits more than a flat tire in the dark. Jack Frost getting the best of you? Enjoy the light you need to get the furnace up and running again. All things considered, along with a powerful strobe option, this flashlight is a must have. Always make sure you are aware of your surroundings and have a safe holiday season!
