Products in this list
- General's Down Sweater by Flylow — The General’s Down Sweater is a must have for backcountry skiing. It’s light and packable, yet warm and filled with premium down insulation. I have several color ways and use mine for sledskiing as a layer to ride home in after I have sweat and the sun has gone down. Also great for standing around as a Filmer!
- Puffer Pant by Flylow — The FlyLow Puffer Pant is another must have as a backcountry skier and Filmaker. It’s fleece lined and insulated on the butt and thighs, meaning no sweaty crotch like other puffy pants. Great on the cold negative temp days filming in the backcountry or for lounging at the cabin!
- Larry Vest by Flylow — The Larry vest is great for keeping your core warm without sweating and losing range of motion in your arms. I use it daily backcountry skiing and around town.
- Boone Fleece by Flylow — The Boone fleece is my daily driver sledskiing. Warm, but not hot, thin and breathable. I wear a size large for a tighter fit under my jacket shell, I am 6’3” and 215lbs.
- Mullet Jogger by Flylow — The Flylow Mullet Jogger is my daily driver midlayer for backcountry skiing. Not too warm that I start sweating, but still enough to keep me warm when I’m holding a camera in one place for 2 hours. It’s also all but replaced sweatpants for me when I get back to the cabin. The gridded fleece is super soft and hasn’t pilled in 50+ washes.
- M's Hanmer Wool Baselayer Top by Flylow — The Flylow Hanmer Wool baselayer top is another daily driver for me for the entire winter. It’s one of the few sustainably and responsibly sourced wool baselayers on the market, it’s breathable, doesn’t pull, and keeps me warm. In the spring it’s all I wear under my shell.
- M's Craigieburn Wool Baselayer Bottoms by Flylow — The Flylow Craigieburn Wool Baselayer Bottoms are my favorite baselayer of all time. They don’t accumulate smell, they keep me warm, but not sweating. They’re also responsibly sourced and easy to wash. One of my favorite FlyLow products ever.
- Wolverine Glove by Flylow
