BOA® Just Made Ski Boots So Much Better

BOA®

The new BOA® Fit System featuring H+i1 allows users to adjust their ski boots to fit perfectly and perform better. In practice, it allows users to twist a dial to tighten the system’s stainless-steel laces. As you twist, you’ll be able to adjust the fit by as little as .25mm in either direction. These micro adjustments allow users to lock in a more exact and even fit with fewer pressure points.The new BOA® Fit System featuring H+i1 is now available on ski boots from four premium brands: K2, Atomic, Salomon and Fischer.

Jaxon Lane Hacked Men’s Skincare

Jaxon Lane

Jaxon Lane offers a wide range of award-winning skincare products, but its most interesting release is the Bro Mask ($28 for a four-pack). The hydrogel sheet mask was designed just for men, and is packed with smart ingredients like three percent niacinamide, collagen, hyaluronic acid, peptides, green tea, licorice and ginger. More importantly, it’s made in two pieces; so guys with beards can apply the top half without stressing about covering their facial hair.

Jones Snowboards Launched Re-Up Tech

Jones Snowboards

This new program allows the brand to craft new snowboards from rejected factory models and old, recycled boards. The process stacks and glues the old boards together to create a block of snowboard materials, and then slices these into the snowboards’ ‘stringer.’ Tests have shown that the resulting stringers are the most torsionally stable the brand has ever created, as well as the most sustainable. Fans can submit their old boards for a credit, as well as shop new models and learn more about Re-Up Tech, at the link below.

Finally, a Party-Sized Anchovy Platter

Siesta Co.

Siesta Co. believes in the power of truly excellent tinned fish, but it also understands that sometimes, it can be difficult to package out enough to share with your whole crew. That’s why the brand took its popular Cantabrian Anchovies and packed them into a new ‘Fiesta Size’ ($70) container. Known as “Anchoas de Costera del Cantábrico” in Spain, these MSC-certified anchovies are handpicked at their peak, and are sure to become your new go-to crowd pleaser.

A (Holiday) Party-Worthy Mezcal

Agua Mágica

While selecting a premium sipper for the most ‘learned’ spirits lover can be daunting, picking out a perfect party-worthy bottle is much, much more fun — and Agua Mágica checks all the boxes. The smooth mezcal tastes fresh, and slightly salty; so you can trust it’ll be a great crowd pleaser. It’s also packaged in a unique, eye-catching bottle that will sparkle on any bar cart. Plus, if that’s not enough, you can plus-up to bring it home in a gift box, or with matching glasses for serving.
