At the start of 2014 I managed to put a cut in my Arc’teryx Fission SL jacket. The Fission SL is a super light weight Goretex pro jacket that is insulated. It’s a great jacket that is both light and warm and it has served me well through the British winters for the last couple of years. Unfortunately I managed to brush past a wall (bricks had sharp edges) and put a 5 to 6cm straight cut in the front of the jacket.

Having just spent a week in the wilds of BC being keen to giver we give you a little flavor of the BC goods! This video features Rogers and Upper Cheakamus. Upper Cheak is just outside of Whistler and Rogers is up near Lillolet Lake. The Upper Cheak is a staple run of the Whistler crew as it runs for some time throughout the year. Rogers has a small window of being in and if the triple drop is stomping high you are in for a real rowdy time. Welcome to BC as it PROVIDES!

Seeing this a Riot Helmet for sale on Ebay reminded me of how much I really liked the fit and protection of the similar Riot Helmet I owned for several years.
Here is what I said about the Riot Helmets at the time I was using one:
The Riot helmet is no longer produced and has been quite difficult to get hold of. They came in two varieties the R1 and R2. Shell sizes are standard with the amount of inner foam being the deciding factor on size.
In 2008 I spent a few weeks in British Columbia, Alberta and Vancouver Island. Quite simply it’s an awesome place in every sense of the word.
This video from Raphaël Boudreault-Simard and Gabriel Côté-Valiquette is well worth watching.
