SVALBARD ARCHIPELAGO
NORDIC BLUE GLOVES
These are the cat's meow. The textured rubber is soft and supple when cold and the wool (or optional fleece) liner keeps my hands warm, a tall order. The rubber wrist gasket keeps water out. I've been on the hunt for the perfect kayaking glove for these frigid polar paddling conditions for 4 years now and I think I finally found it! Used for diving and polar exploration since the mid-90s. Made in Sweden. Check out Nordic Blues by clicking on the photo. Thanks, Nordic Blue!
My new SeaSpecs are fantastic! They cut the glare and the UVB/UVA protection keeps the eyes rested. Thanks, SeaSpecs! They're awesome on the Arctic seas!
KVIKK LUNSJ
Noway's original hiking bar. A precursor to our US Kit Kat bar, created in 1937. Read up on its romanticized history as a hiking and skiing 'food' by clicking on photo.
