Are You Ready For Your Next Trip?

With Reading Week just around the corner, and Bus Trip season in full swing, we thought a list of essential items to have in your gear bag would be a good idea:

*Helmet. Safe, warm, stylish.....don't be that guy.

*Goggles. Protect your eyes without fog.

*Ski/Board lock. Cheap insurance to protect your ride

*Toe/Hand Warmers. Cold digits can spoil a trip.

*Waterproof gloves/mitts. Wet hands are cold hands.

*Merino Base Layers. Warm, soft, and NO STINK.

*Board/Ski Bag. Protect your gear from under the bus

*Merino Socks. Boots fit better, warm and dry.
