Habitus Loves… Winter Sports

For those of us lucky (or unlucky) enough to be getting to the business end of winter, the time for alpine activities is drawing near. Habitusliving takes a look at eight excellent products to make your mountain fun even funner.

Bespoke Skis

 

Designed by: Wagner Custom Skis

Why we love it: Made one pair at a time, to the unique specifications of their owner in an ultra-modern workshop powered by wind and sun, these are the bees knees of skis. This particular pair is made of Australian Myrtle and features light, off-axis striping on rich brown heartwood.

Custom Snowboard

   

Designed by: Candleman

Why we love it: Customisation is by no means exclusive to skis, and this New Zealand outfit offers the very best in lovingly hand-crafted snowboards.

Cayenne Glove

   

Designed by: Black Diamond

Why we love it: Snow is cold. A truism, granted, but a bitter reality after hours on the slopes. Enter the Black Diamond Cayenne: with a rechargeable thermic 3-level heating system that provides up to 10 hours of heat and a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex insert with XCR Product Technology to seal out cold and moisture, these gloves will keep your fingers toasty in even the frostiest of weather.

Spine Ergo BUG

   

Designed by: POC Sports

Why we love it: There are those who like the panorama, and those that like the brisk mountain air. And then there are the adrenalin addicts, who want as much speed, height and adventure as possible. Thankfully, there is also body armour, protecting their fragile vertebrae.

Airbrake Snow

   

Designed by: Oakley

Why we love it: With an interchangeable lens design that helps you adapt to the environment and enjoy the best vision possible, these goggles will guide you through anything from sunshine to blizzard. Coupled with Plutonite® UV filtration and F3 anti-fog technology, they have just about every angle of eye-protection and visibility maximisation covered.

Mulled Wine

   

Designed by: Germans?

Why we love it: It’s not new, it’s not hi-tech, it has nothing do with design, but we just couldn’t not include this delicious winter libation. Cinnamon, cloves and brandy mandatory, star anise optional.

Where you can get it: Ideally some sort of chateaux, otherwise it’s pretty easy to make
