10 Products I Actually Use - Daniel Ross

The gear I actually use and would buy again

Daniel Ross's expert gear recommendations on Rendezvu

Products in this list

APEX 4 by COROS — Best user interface I have found in a GPS watch. It has a deep understanding of what we actually use watches for in the mountains. It is a California local company too.
Aquila Harness by Petzl — The everyday workhorse harness. I love having 5 gear loops.
Blacklight Boot Men by Touring Skis Unisex — I upgraded to this boot for a bit more stiffness and power transfer compared to the TLTX. It still walks like a dream.
LINE Men's Vision 98 Skis by Sun & Ski Sports — The most playful backcountry skis ever. Incredibly versatile and easy to ski. They like a centered stance.
M's 8" Trail Half Tight Lined by Janji — Chafe? Not anymore. Storage? too much?
LF 40L by Raide Research — The most well thought out ski touring pack of all time.
Summit Mips® by Smith Optics — A perfect every day ski helmet that can handle ski mountaineering as well. It is legitimately big enough for my melon as well as a hat and beanie.
Vapour-Rise™ Gloves by Rab — I've only used these gloves as my "liner" gloves for the past three years. They barely feel like they're on your hands but are surprisingly warm. Pair with a leather glove and you're golden.
faceGlove SUN by Outeru — I hate sunscreen. Fabric is better anyway
Men's Solstice Lightweight Pullover Hoodie by Ridge Merino — The only 3-season sun hoody you'll ever need. If wet, it smells like sheep. My understanding is that it is because the quality of the wool is very good.
Stow™ 1L by HydraPak — Clip it to your harness or stuff it in your ski pack. It's what I bring with me on almost every trip.
