Ortovox

Ortovox — AVABAG

Weighing just 640 g and with a volume of 1.8 liters, AVABAG is currently the lightest airbag system around. This is made possible by the seamless airbag welding technology and by the reduced, sealed Venturi unit that is protected from dirt, ice, and corrosion. Because it is reduced, it has fewer components and is more reliable and lightweight. The system is detachable and has an optimized release grip. It is also possible to practice activating the airbag (without the cartridge being installed) as many times as needed.

POC

POC – Spine VPD 2.0 Airbag vest

Category: Protection

The airbag system consists of integrated sensors and uses a precise algorithm to distinguish between a crash or fall from the normal forces associated with Alpine racing. To detect a loss of balance, the system keeps track of the skier's movement by performing 1,000 analysis per second. When a fall is detected, the airbag is inflated in less than 100 milliseconds to provide protection for the neck, chest, spine, abdomen, and hips.

Jurystatement:

Professional ski racing has become a lot faster and more dangerous over the years. This product is a great innovation to reduce accidents and bad injuries – and even to save lives.

KJUS

KJUS – Men BT 2.0 Glove

Category: Gloves

The BT 2.0 Glove features a Bluetooth handset with integrated OLED display to get you in full control of incoming and missed calls, a waterproof speaker and microphone with noisecancelling technology. The glove construction features a comfort-mapped lining, conductive leather for touchscreen navigation, molded visco-elastic foam knuckle protection, full-leather palms, detachable wrist-leashes, and a 2-in-1 attachment hook system.

Jurystatement:

Rottefella

Rottefella – Xcelerator Pro Classic

Category: Cross Country

With the Xcelerator Pro Classic, it's possible to tune your skis by repositioning the binding. Repositioning the binding changes the characteristics of the ski due to the effect it has on the camber. By moving the binding forward, you reduce the force needed to have better grip due to increased contact between the waxing zone and the snow. By moving the binding backwards, you release this contact and achieve a better glide.

Jurystatement:

The Rottefella binding deserves the title GOLD WINNER because it's so versatile. Thanks to the binding's adjustment, you either get better grip in rough, undulating terrain, or you glide easier when it's flat.

www.rottefella.no

MARKER

MARKER – GripWalk

Category: Bindings

Grip Walk is the new sole/binding system for more walking comfort and skiing performance. The slogan "easy going" perfectly describes the characteristics of the Grip Walk. Grip Walk offers better walking grip thanks to a high-profile, slip-resistant sole. Precise power transmission and release function. No additional height adjustment needed by the dealer/rental operator. Compatible with all "Grip Walk ready" bindings.

Jurystatement:

Ski boots are not very comfortable or safe when walking on slippery surfaces. That's why Grip Walk soles are the future, not only for beginner or rental boots. To fit this new generation of boots, Marker introduces a binding designed for any kind of alpine boot, including those with Grip Walk soles. A great product that will be appreciated by many skiers who desire more safety in their sport.

It has four buckles and 130 flex for superb downhill performance and comes with an active angle of 44° in ascent mode, as known from current high-class touring boots.

Jurystatement:

This is the boot that many freeride and freetouring skiers have been waiting for. Full binding compatibility, high performance ski mode, really lightweight, and a simple ergonomic walk mode. The perfect combination.

LEKI

LEKI – Tour Stick Vario Carbon

Category: Poles

Foldable carbon pole with Trigger S Vertical integrated into the Aergon grip. The pole length can be fixed with Speed Lock 2. Fold/unfold the pole within seconds with the push-button-release.The pole stays connected to the hand with the Trigger S Vertical strap and can easily be clicked in and out with the Trigger and Loop. A flex band in the strap offers upward freedom of movement and maximum downward power transmission: An additional traverse hook for a different grip position is available.

Jurystatement:

Trigger S is now also set to go touring! The safety mechanism is a great development and we also liked the little hook below the actual grip to have a tighter grip when hiking up a steep slope.

ORTOVOX

ORTOVOX – 2L ANDERMATT JACKET

Category: Outer Layer 2 L

Black sheep are different, individual, and walk their own tracks. Regarding functionality, their wool is just as good as white wool, but so far it was not used for apparel.

Packed into a wind- and waterproof layer of Toray Dermizax NX and combined with features like teddy wool (chin area), ANDERMATT stands for pure individuality.

Jurystatement:

Sleek styling and clever ventilation created a strong graphic effect. The inclusion of black wool as insulation added a sustainable aspect.

SALOMON

SALOMON – XT-ONE

Kategorie: Goggles&Glasses

XT-ONE is the combination of pure comfort and high performance that any skier is looking for.

INDIGO ACR – Two skis in one.

Jurystatement:

The ski with its long gap down the middle first looks a bit unusual, but once you understand that it's two skis in one, it all makes sense. Being able to adjust the ski's performance to the terrain and conditions has always been a dream. With Indigo's ACR, this is now possible.
