The stainless steel construction means you can toss this bottle anywhere and it won’t shatter or leak. Click the hooked cap onto your ski pack and rest easy knowing it’s safe. For icy days on the slopes, enjoy hot coffee for up to 6 hours, or a cold sports drink for 24 hours.

BPA-free stainless steel construction, insulated lid, dishwasher-safe, and coated in non-slip powder coating. A wide range of colors such as bold pink, classic white, or olive green. 

These are a little steep. However, consider cost-per-use and it’s basically nothing. 

These buds are shaped for fall-free wearing during vigorous sports, with touch controls for answering calls, changing track, and adjusting volume. The sound is pretty great for the low price. 

These water-resistant buds come with an 80-hour charging case that doubles as a charging dock for other items such as your phone. Each bud gives you a generous 4.5-hour operation per full charge, fueling lengthy snow sessions. Plus, you can answer and end calls via the buds, no need to clamber for your phone. 

These are surprisingly affordable.

It’s super easy to use. Turn on the optional heat (to 105 degrees F), set the timer (up to 3 hours), and stack up to four pieces. It thoroughly dries any item quickly and safely (no burn marks, no fire danger).

It comes with a 6-foot power cord, a simple control panel (with timer), and both hot and cold airflow. It also comes with extenders so you can pop those bulky ski boots on. 

For such a practical gadget, the price is great.

However, they come with built-in touchscreen pads in the forefinger and thumb that allow you to use your smartphone or tablet with your gloves on.

Additionally, these gloves feature high-grade goat leather and windproof fabric both inside and out. They also come with a removable wrist support. The polyurethane leather reinforcement on the palms will ensure the gloves have a longer lifespan.

The PEET shoe dryer dries any shoe no matter how wet it get’s over night. Believe it or not, drying your shoes can extend the life of them! Drying your shoes also removes viruses and skin irritants that can cause you discomfort. And, probably one of the best reasons to keep your shoes dry would be to eliminate any odors caused by bacteria and sweat.

After a day of snowboarding, just stick the shoes onto this dryer and switch it on. Come morning, the shoes will be dry–all while the device used less electricity than a light bulb!

The dryer is safe for use for all shoe materials–from leather to rubber to neoprene to canvas to microfiber to synthetics. It’s a no-fuss device: simply plug it in and get drying!

Is $40 too much to pay for a pair of dried snowboarding shoes at the end of a long day? Heck no!

If you want a good-looking baselayer snowboarding shirt for the winter, this is your top pick. Not only is it a stylish shirt—made by UnderArmour, with  the classic slim fit to emphasize your toned physique—but it comes in a broad range of colors and patterns (from textured to dark colors to camo to bright orange and red). This is the shirt professional athletes wear when skiing or snowboarding in winter months.

The manufacturer makes it clear that these shirts are sized to be tight, so you’ll need to buy at least one or two sizes above normal to be comfortable. However, the slim fit ensures that your body heat is trapped near your skin, keeping you warm in winter. The tighter fit also makes it the perfect base layer under heavier sweaters and shirts.

The lightweight shirt is made out of 87% polyester and 13% spandex, meaning it has the perfect mix of elasticity and comfort. The moisture-sensing fabric will pull sweat away from your body as you shred the slopes, and it will dry quickly to prevent the winter cold from making you sick. The shirt also offers enough two-way air circulation to keep you from overheating without sacrificing warmth.

On the downside, this shirt is prone to odors. It’s made with formaldehyde, so it’s recommended you wash it once or twice before using. Be warned: the fabric attracts lint in the dryer. You’re better off washing it in the machine and letting it dry in the sun.

At $17, this is a great choice for a super-warm base layer. You’ll find it keeps you warm even when the temperature is below zero.

 When it comes to action cams, you’ll find few on par with the GoPro Hero. The camera is designed to shoot AMAZING quality footage: 4K video shot at 32 FPS, or 1080p video shot at 120 FPS. The footage will be crystal clear and smooth, and you’ll get a lot of it thanks to the built-in SD card. The image quality is far better than most of the action cameras on the market.

You’ll get decent battery life from the camera, and the one-button operation makes it beautifully easy to start filming or snapping pictures (Single, Time Lapse, or Burst Mode) while hitting the slopes. Best of all, it’s super compact, so it won’t drag you down or throw off your balance as you shred powder.

The recording features of the GoPro far exceed anything you’ll get in your average action camera. You have total control over the resolution, frame rate, zoom, and every other aspect of the filming. When you hit the record button, you can rest assured the camera will capture high quality video. The Advanced Video Stabilization will make sure your video is smooth no matter how much you move.

Worried about damaging it? Don’t! The camera is waterproof up to 33 feet, so it can handle more than a little snow. The little camera can be mounted on your helmet (mount sold separately) or a selfie stick to capture amazing pictures on the slope. With your subscription to GoPro Plus and the Quik photo editing app, you’ll have no problem uploading your beautiful photos to a cloud storage drive or social media.

At $200, this is a very well-priced action cam! It’s going to stand up to a lot of hardcore use, and you’ll find few other cameras are as well-suited for the slopes as this. Worth every penny if you want action pictures and quality movies of your snowboarding prowess.

These are gloves designed for outdoor use, and they’re the most comfortable on our list hands down! Not only do they have a durable polyester shell that is fully wind and waterproof, but the goat leather palm is soft to the touch. You’ll find the gloves are supremely versatile and adaptable to any task—be it typing, shoveling, manual labor, or playing with your kids.

The inner fleece lining is made of 100% polyester, so it offers great moisture-wicking, quick-drying properties while still keeping your fingers toasty warm. The outer GoreTex shell is able to stand up to winter sports and outdoor work without being damaged. Best of all, the gloves extend past your wrist and up your forearms, offering added warmth and trapping in your body heat.

 The heating element built into these gloves delivers 5.5 watts of power per glove, and Outdoor Research’s proprietary ALTI heat system offers excellent battery life—as much as 8 hours on the low setting and 2.5 hours on high heat. However, be warned: if you switch it to the low setting to conserve battery life, you’ll find it barely generates any heat.

The heating element also covers more surface area than any of the other gloves on our list, meaning the best warmth coverage. The gloves are great for literally any outdoor activity, and the insulation and built-in heater will keep you warm everywhere you go.

Starting at $280 and going as high as $360, these are by far the priciest gloves on our list. If you can afford them, you’ll find they keep you warm even when the heater is switched off, and they deliver excellent value in terms of comfort, versatility, and reliability!

 This is a watch built for hardcore use! With a stainless steel case, the choice of metal or silicone band, and sapphire glass, you’ve got a watch that will survive any marathon or training regimen.

Despite the rugged design, it’s a surprisingly sophisticated watch, built with a lot of features to help you track run performance. The built-in GPS sensors will help you track your location in the marathon, and the 3-axis compass will keep you from getting lost. With a gyroscope and barometric altimeter, you have everything you need to stay on course to the finish line.

The watch has a built-in widget that displays your training load, training status, and smart notifications. Thanks to its compatibility with Garmin Connect, you can upload your data to the online community and personalize your digital watch features.

The watch comes with full-color TOPO U.S. maps, complete with the option to program your routes ahead of time. The GPS tracker is highly accurate and will help you stay updated on your position in the race.

The built-in heart rate monitor is fairly accurate, though its ANT+ compatible, so you can connect it to any chest strap monitor. The digital features include settings for not just running, but also cycling, cross-country skiing, climbing, HIIT training, and so much more. With the basic smart watch capabilities, you can check your texts and receive alerts of new messages or emails.

At almost $700, this is a VERY pricey watch. However, for dedicated marathoners that need a watch that can keep up with their training, it’s an investment worth making.

If you’re a skier or snowboarder looking for a pair of compression shorts to wear under your snowsuit, you’ll love these. They don’t offer “thermal” protection (like thermal underwear will), but they do provide a base layer to keep warmth trapped close to your skin and reduce chafing.

The pants are made of 87% Polyester and 13% Spandex, so they have just the right amount of elasticity to make them comfortable without losing compression. The material is able to sense moisture and will dry quickly, thanks to the two-way ventilation. They’re great for both indoor and outdoor activities in cold and hot climates.

The fabric of these pants is fairly lightweight, so they don’t offer total protection against the cold. However, they are slim enough to make a very comfortable base layer beneath a snowsuit or snowboarding outfit. Thanks to their flat seams and snug fit, you’ll never have to worry about chafing or rubbing!

The material has good elasticity and midweight compression, but it won’t interfere with mobility on the slopes. However, be warned: the fit is a tad short, with the bottom elastic ending closer to mid-calf than the ankle.

Starting at $10, these are one of the best value pair of compression pants on our list. They are a durable, long-lasting choice that will keep you nice and warm in cool and colder temperatures. A skier and snowboarder’s best friend!

This awesome pair of goggles has interchangeable lenses, so you can switch from bright to dim light protection in seconds. The lenses come in eight different colors—from blue to yellow to brown to green—so you’ll always be able to choose the color that suits your preferences and gives you the most natural view.

You’ll get an amazingly wide field of view with these wraparound glasses, plus impressive comfort and fog-free optical technology. Together, these create a better experience than you’ll find with any other goggle available.

This pair of goggles is also compatible with most helmets and has an adjustable silicone strap to customize your size and comfort. These goggles even include two mirror lenses, a quick release lens system, and spherical lens with interior volume for fog-free vision.

For those worried about UV radiation, don’t! These glasses come with UVA and UVB protection (UV400). The extra-long elastic strap makes the glasses compatible with any helmet styles, though be prepared to fiddle with the lenses. If the helmet is too tight—they may simply pop off.

These may be slightly on the pricier side for a pair of sunglasses, but they’re well-priced for snowboarding/ski goggles. You get high quality comfort and versatility at a cost you will definitely love. Plus, a 1-year warranty!

If you’re looking for a multi-purpose tool to take with you on the slopes, this is the perfect one. We know that getting to the mountain in the morning and staying until dark can make for a long day, hich is why it’s important to be prepared. This 3-in-1 gadget holds enough juice to charge your phone, keep your hands warm, and light up the trails so you can find your way back in the dark. The durable plastic shell is strong enough to withstand a rough fall and compact enough to fit in your pocket. And, the lithium-ion battery can even deliver a full charge to most phones and even iPad Minis. You get up to 500 re-charges from this little device.

The handwarmer on this device is outstanding and is designed with two temperature settings of 110 degrees and 130 degrees fahrenheit. The best part is, it warms your hands as soon as it turns on. So, no waiting around with cold hands. The Ewarmer boasts a 7800-mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery that’s set up to charge smartphones, MP3 players and other USB-powered devices. However, the cable isn’t included so don’t forget to pack it along. Also, the LED flashlight includes five different modes: red light, white light, blinking red light, blinking white light and SOS strobe light for emergencies.

At $28, this is one of the best ski and snowboard gadgets under 100 dollars. Not only do you get an impressive battery charger and an outstanding hand warmer, but it’s also a user-friendly LED flashlight that fits in your pocket. It’s a good device to keep on hand!

Whether he likes to hike or snowboard, this is a watch that can keep up with his active lifestyle. The rugged, durable watch is made using high quality steel and crystal, offering both comfort and longevity. The watch has a built-in altimeter, compass, and spot-on GPS tracking. It’s also water-resistant and has a 200-hour battery life. Now, that’s impressive. But the thing we love most about this watch is that you can download trail maps straight to it. This means your guy can navigate in remote areas without cell service. Best of all, the silicone straps will fit snug around his wrist, making it extremely comfortable to wear. 

The price tag (a little over $300) might seem like a lot to pay for a Valentine’s gift, but it’s easier to justify when you realize what this watch is capable of. When you consider the quality, durability, and versatility, you can understand why we think it’s a worthwhile investment. The wide range of features, hardcore design, and rugged build make it the watch that will last him for years to come.

You’d be amazed by how loud these Bluetooth speakers can get. These babies wirelessly connect to your phone or bluetooth device to deliver Hi-Fi sound into your helmet. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery life is fantastic and will last up to ten hours of play time. Which means you can listen to your favorite tunes the entire time you’re on the mountain. The speaker chips are water and sweat-proof, surprisingly durable, and can handle the coldest of the cold. And by cold, we mean -4 degrees fahrenheit.

The chips are designed to be compatible with all the major brands of snowboarding helmets, including but not limited to Bern, Giro, Smith, K2, Anon, and Pro-Tec. Basically, they’ll fit in any helmet with the audio drop-in slot.

The chips are black, but you have the option of choosing between red or yellow wires. You can easily switch songs, take a call, or adjust the volume from a tap on the right ear bud. And, it has a built in mic so you can either talk on the phone or tell Siri to read your text messages.

The Dot walkie-talkie app allows you to communicate with your crew on the slopes at the push of a button, and the range is limitless.

At just under $130, this is a slightly pricier gadget on our list, but so worth it if you want to improve your life on the slopes. The chips are a gadget every music loving snow boarder should have.

This compact hand warmer fits into the smallest pockets and stays warm for up to 12 hours. The heat is flameless and instead uses a catalytic burner which is safe. Unlike the disposable warmers, the Zippo remains the same temperature for the entire 12 hours. The metal construction makes it rugged and durable.

This hand warmer fits into the smallest of pockets thanks to the sleek design. All of the sides are rounded for comfort, and it comes with a soft black pouch designed to prevent this product from getting scratched. The 12-hour warmer is 3.9 inches tall while the 6-hour warmer is 2.9 inches. So, if you’re looking for something on the smaller side, go with the 6-hour. This handy gadget comes in five colors, including black, silver, white, pink, and camo. 

At $15, this is one of the cheapest gadgets on our list. And, you can’t beat Zippo quality. However, one thing to note is that the fluid is sold separately.

This smart case protects your phone against icy-cold climates (and super-hot ones, too), so your battery drains far slower. Plus, it floats if you drop it in water, and shields your phone from shattering when dropped from as high as 3 meters. Impressively, your bluetooth, cell, or WiFi connection will be left totally in-tact. 

Made from chromium thermal material (used by NASA), with medium and large options to accommodate almost any modern phone.

At around $50, it’s slightly spendy but the payoff is great.
