08. BACKCOUNTRY ACCESS TRACKER2; backcountryaccess.
com // (303) 417-1345; The Tracker DTS was a fast, easy-to-use
beacon. The Tracker2 ups the ante with a triple antenna with realtime
display. It’s the fi rst beacon to offer those options. And that
small advantage could save a life in the backcountry. — DS
09. SLYTECH 2 ND SKIN; info@slytech.it // slytech.it; Using
Polyurethane foams, 2 nd Skin protects the spine without sacrifi
cing comfort or mobility. Body heat causes the memorycell-foam
to become fl exible when worn, letting it follow
body movements with ease. When pressure is applied, air
is forced out of the foam, compressing it and increasing the
density. When quick, sharp pressure is applied as in a fall,
air is trapped in the foam and its thickness and density is
preserved for protection. — SS

wicking warmth. The socks also use a unique textile cocktail

comfort and warmth. It’s specifi cally designed to fi t women’s
feet and fi ve percent of sales go to the Breast Cancer
Research Foundation (bcrfcure.org). $12-$18. — SS

866 371-HEAT; Your hands will stay warm in Gerbing’s
new battery-powered heated gloves ($149-$199). Employing
the company’s new Core Heat Transfer System, each
glove is powered by a 7.4v lithium battery housed in a
zippered pocket on the cuff. The battery incorporates a
four-level push-button thermostat for regulating temperature
from 85 to 135 degrees. All this is accomplished
through a microwire heating matrix powered by small,
microprocessor-managed lithium battery packs rechargeable
for up to 500 cycles. — EB
12. HOT CHILLY’S WOMEN’S HENLEY; hotchillys.com //
800 468-2445; The tops and bottoms in Hot Chilly’s new line
may look retro but they most certainly incorporate high-tech
fabric thinking. Made with Moisture Transport (MTF) polyester
and environmentally friendly Bio del Mar anti-microbial
technology, these babies provide warmth, performance and
feel. The 3D Waffl e pattern traps warm air close to the body,
while the MTF polyester wicks moisture away. — DS
