nice turns, nice jacket
 

DUMP THAT OLD YUCKY JACKET!
Life is all too short to still be wearing anything less than something that makes you look fantastic? After all, it's winter, you have no choice but to wear a jacket, why not get a nice one? a REALLY nice one!

We carry the very best and fabulously warm fashions from such wicked companies as Burton, Karbon, Descente, Phenix, 686, Patagonia, Orage, SunIce, Smartwool and more... Including the ubiquitous North Face. We stock it all and the unlikely event that we don't have it, if it's out there, have no worries, we'll get it! We can special order most anything from the brands that we carry and sometimes even from barnds that we don't (provided, of course, they have it in stock on their end!)

Drop by either location and come meet your next jacket, your'e going to love it! It's warm, the color is to die for and the fit is out of this world. Nothing beats quality!

DRESS FOR SUCCESS
A nice, cool bike jersey, the killer jacket, a sweet pair of shades, a comfy pair of bike shorts, comfortable light-weight shoes and wickedly bling gloves... Wearing the right stuff while on your bitchin' bike makes all the difference. The difference between chaffing and not chafing, the difference between riding in a sopping wet t-shirt and riding in a cool jersey, the difference between getting a booter and riding the rest of the ride in a wet sponges for shoes or pedaling in dry footwear. It's not just for looks, it's so you can concentrate on the task at hand: riding with a smile on your face

Here's the shocker: We sell all this cool stuff. And we have lots of it. Just the good stuff. Shorts that will allow you to ride for one more hour, socks that will dry in a few hours, shoes that will not only transfer energy to the pedals efficiently but also provide the right amount of support. The bike is only part of the equation. We often say that a $600 bike alone is never as much fun as a $400 bike with all the essentials that make a ride more comfortable. And hey, if you're one of those people who enjoy suffering please disregard the above and carry on, we'll be the ones riding with smiles on our faces.

DO IT!
Come on, just bite the bullet! Ditch the bad stuff, life's simply too short! You deserve some happiness outside, don't you? Nothing can make a guy (or girl for that matter) feel warmer, more comfortable and dryer that the right underwear. Sure, you can find cheaper stuff out there... You can always find cheaper stuff, cheap is easy to do, What's not easy is doing long lasting, QUALITY, comfortable, super warm, wicking, breathable... BETTER stuff. That's hard to do, BETTER stuff costs money to do... So yes, you need to pay a little more for the good stuff... BUT MAN, IS IT WORTH IT! Just try one piece of our PATAGONIA underwear and you'll see the light, try on a Sugoi bike jersey and understand what we mean, throw on a pair of Peal Izumi bike shorts to finally finish a ride with you posterior still happy... and the comfort and the... well, you get the general idea of where we're going with this, don't you?

Come on in, ask one of the fine staff we have at your disposal what it is that you do outside and try some stuff on. You'll see the difference and you'll feel the difference... And you'll be surprised how little a price difference there is between the good stuff and the not-quite-so-good-stuff at that other place. Who know's you might even notice that there's NO price difference between the two. You never just know.

LADIES & GENTLEMEN, FIT IS KEY

Leanne, [one of our clothing gurus] wrote this little blurb: From goggles, helmets, jackets or gloves. It's always about the fit. Half of being comfy is having a well fitting garment. Ski/board clothing is no exception. One of my pet peeves is trying to sell a piece of clothing to someone and them not try it on. Never assume that a medium will fit you because you always wear a medium. All companies sizing charts are slightly different. Example: Descente makes some great Snowboarding pants, yet for the life of me I can't seem to get one leg into a large, but an Orage pant in large: I swim in. The key is trying on and seeing what feels great. There's nothing worse than feeling stuffed into your jacket or you have to ski with the top button of your pants undone. See sometimes Bigger IS better... And while you're at it:

THE LOVE OF A
GOOD JACKET

Nothing beats being outside but being nice and warm on the inside. That's what the right jacket with the right underwear does. We carry the best of both. From the world's standard in high tech, high warmth, high comfort underwear from Patagonia and Smartwool to the very best driest, warmest and most stylish jackets from Burton, DNA, Phenix and The North Face... And MORE! Come on in and let our experts show you how to get the most out of outside!  

THE RIGHT
TOQUE

We carry the coolest ... uh... WARMEST most comfortable toques, hats, beanies, helmets and balaclava's anywhere... Everything to keep your head nice and comfy and your ears nice and toasty. Nothing beats the right toque to tie an outfit together, to make that look JUST right. But don;t stop there, we have the scarf you've been dreaming about too! It's all the little things that make all the difference and it's ok, we understand. We're here for you.

THE THING ABOUT BIKE SHORTS

One article of clothing that you absolutely do not want to skimp on are bike shorts. Invest in a trusted name brand with a quality chamois and your lower region will thank you later in the ride. We made a decision a few years ago to stay away from the cheap bike shorts, one would almost be better of without shorts than to wear cheap ones. The good stuff keeps your nether-regions dry, slightly padded and cool. For those not quite ready for the full spandex short look, we offer a wide variety of baggy shorts that do the job yet do without the painted-on look. Some love the tight fitting shorts because of the low friction and the non-snagging design... Both are good. Brands we love: Sugoi and Pearl Izumi arguably make the best shorts out there but we've found some awfuly nice stuff from Oakley, Fox, Descente and DNA. Whatever the short you end up with you'll thank us for insisting. Your rides will last longer and best of all, your mood will be better

THE RIDE
We've said it before: It's all about the ride. The ride to Seven Eleven, the ride to your buddies house, the ride we call Ingolf, the ride at Panorama, Fernie, The Seine River, the ride through the monkey trails at Assiniboine Park, the ride with your 30 favorite buddies or the ride with your daughter.

Yes the bike is important. But more important than the bike is the smile on your face. So get off your butt, dust off your bike, throw on your helmet and come riding with us next season! For more information on how we can help get you out, click on the following link:
