Welcome to OPUMO's weekly roundup of our favourite shoppable finds. From outerwear to decorative objects and everything in between.
Ski season is in full swing. If you're heading to the mountains in the coming weeks, you're probably wondering what to pack. Well, we've got a few ideas, and we invite you to peruse them below.
Arc’teryx Beta AR Shell
A hardwearing waterproof jacket is a must, and this one from Arc'teryx has a long-earned reputation as one of the toughest all-rounders on the market. This particular version is bright green, which will make it nice and easy for ski patrol to find you if you accidentally veer off-piste after too many bombardinos and get lost.
Oakley Custom Clifden Sunglasses
You don't want a massive set of goggles hindering your tan when you're soaking up the rays at lunch on a bluebird day. A pair of mountain-appropriate sunnies is a must, and these customisable ones from Oakley are currently in the sale.
Sorel Daystorm Horizon GTX Boots
If you've worn ski boots before, you'll know that you're going to want to change out of them at the first available opportunity. Having something suitable for the snow that you can shove on after a long day on the slopes is essential.
Purple Mountain Observatory Polartec Alpha Pullover
Polartec Alpha is a fuzzy, insulating fabric that's enjoying a bit of a fashion moment right now. Practical and en vogue doesn't happen often, so get in on the action with this long-sleeve top from Purple Mountain Observatory.
Garmin Epix Pro Smartwatch
Track every run (and your unrestorative, alcohol-blighted sleep every night) with this adventure-ready smartwatch from Garmin. It'll even automatically alert your nearest and dearest if you have the misfortune of getting into a nasty crash.
Dakine Multitool
Don't be the guy who has to ask the lift attendant to borrow an Allen key when your binding comes loose. Instead, make sure you have one of these in your pocket and you'll be (almost) fully self-sufficient.
YETI Rambler Bottle
A hot coffee halfway down the mountain hits different. Especially when you haven't had to pay €15 for it.
Malin + Goetz SPF Moisturiser
The sunburn gets you when you least expect it. Preempt it by having some SPF moisturiser handy at all times. It's a non-negotiable.
Montbell Reversible Alpine Cap
Warm headwear is a must if you're planning to hang out at the après at the end of the day. This Montbell option is two hats for the price of one, with a reversible design and ear flaps for added cosiness.
Helinox Speed Stool
Blow your friends' minds when you stop for a mid-run rest. They'll be icing their backsides in the powder, looking on in disbelief as you unfurl an actual stool from your backpack. Small and light enough that you'll barely even know you're carrying it.
