Hot Father’s Day Gifts for Skiers
He said not to procrastinate. You did it anyway. But guess what? So did everyone. Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone you pushed off the Father’s Day gifts.
Good news: We looked through our warehouse to find the best last-minute steals for Dad. Here are some gems:
The Ski: Blizzard Rustler 9
Tried and true, the Blizzard Rustler 9 is a top pick for versaility, no matter where your dad likes to ski. At 94mm underfoot, the Rustler 9 is quick underfoot while being plenty of platform for all-mountain skiing and navigating soft snow days when they come around. The partial sheet of metal helps stabilize things when mornings are icy or shady afternoon trees. At the same time, the softer tips and tails make turns easy to intiate and add manuverability in tight terrain. The Blizzard updated the Rustler 9 for 2024, so we have past year models at discount (including some demos), or splurge for our early release 2024 Rustler 9s. Dad deserves the best, after all.
The Jacket: Flylow Albert
The Flylow Albert Jacket works double time to keep you dry, while still being extra comfy. The Lux 2-layer fabric is treated with a durable water repellent, giving you an extra layer of protection from the elements and is extremely waterproof. At the same time, the fabric breathes and moves with you. Ideal for landing those perfect pole plants, chasing kiddos around, and working up a sweat. Flylow also packs in 60 grams of recycled insulation, making this one of their warmest jackets in their collection. Breathable on the way down those steamy bump runs, but warm on those slow lift rides back up the hill on stormy days. The best of both worlds.
The Helmet: Pret Cynic X
Helmets may be a little new school, but well worth adding to the kit. We’ve got the Pret Cynic X helmet discounted right now, which makes for quite the Father’s Day steal. The Cynic X has all the features we look for in helmets; MIPS, ventilation, feels lightweight, and audio ready ear pads to play those classic rock jams. Once you’ve got all that taken care of, The only thing left to choose is the color, maybe the hardest part.
The Goggles: Dragon NFX2
The Dragon NFX2 remains one of their premium offerings for good reason. Dragon’s LumaLens are some of the best on the market — helping improve visibility and clarity no matter the conditions. If the weather really changes though, the easily interchangeable lenses are quick to swap even on a fast lift ride. Keep it simple, smartie.
The Style: Cotopaxi Amado Fleece Pullover
If you’re like us, you may want to spruce up your Dad’s wardrobe a little bit. Father’s Day gifts are a great opportunity to drop some new pieces in there. Look no further than Cotopaxi’s Amado Fleece Pullover. The soft fleece is comfortable to wear like Dad’s ratty hoodie, but Cotopaxi’s design makes this good looking enough to wear out on the town. Plus, it’s made with fully recycled materials, so Dad can’t blame keeping his old wardrobe in the name of sustainability.
The Hat: Powder7 Trucker Hat
The ultimate classic trucker hat, with Powder7 flair. Other hats come and go, but these will always be in style. After giving Dad the best gifts ever, top it off with a Pow7 Trucker Hat to really seal the deal—you are the best kid after all.
