FROM NEW MOON Moonies love this "sneaker" with a grip. Makes trail running and traversing ice and slush a piece of cake. FROM THE MANUFACTURER Studded High comfort level and full cushioning, Arcus is made for long runs or for those that want more support also at shorter distances. Arcus can withstand tough weather thanks to the waterproof GORE-TEX® Invisible membrane. The membrane is integrated with the upper material, making it even softer and more comfortable than a traditional membrane bootie construction. This shoe is for the user that wants to have extra cushioning, whether it might be for longer runs, recovery runs or when running with a backpack. To enhance the comfort and great running feeling it has a rocker midsole to reduce pressure on the forefoot and heel and aid the momentum forward - giving a smooth stride. The midsole is made of compression molded EVA which enables a natural dual density where the forefoot has a higher density - giving a more responsive toe-off. This gives great comfort on longer runs and yet provides responsiveness and a great running feeling. The BUGrip outsole has thirteen dynamic studs that provide reliable traction on all winter surfaces. FEATURES - High cushioning and comfort - GORE-TEX® membrane - BUGrip outsole with 13 dynamic steel studs - Upper with bluesign® 100% recycled PET polyester - GORE-TEX® lining is Bluesign® and meets Oeko-Tex® criteria - Insock liner made of bluesign®, solution dyed, recycled polyester/ Ortholite Hybrid® - Midsole compound made with 20% BLOOM® foam EVA SPECS -9% bio based materials -20% recycled materials -9 kg CO2 eqv. per pair

DESIGNED FOR WINTER BETTER PROTECTION AGAINST SNOW, COLD AND ROAD SALT Based on the popular Rex Domestique chain lube, the new Rex Arctic is a wax and oil hybrid lube that is resistant to snow, frost and road salt. Its composition has been improved for winter conditions with Rex N-Kinetic hydrophobic polymers. The improved winter properties include even better water resistance and effective corrosion prevention. The viscosity of Rex Arctic is optimized for cold conditions, and it lubricates without congealing even in the hardest frosts. WAX BASED SOLVENT-FREE, NON-VAPORIZING, UNDILUTED Adding solvent or water to a chain lube is generally thought to be a great way to reduce manufacturing costs and give the manufacturer a better margin. At Rex, we think otherwise. Every drop you apply on the chain is 100% lubricant and not something that will evaporate into the air. Unlike with most chain lubes, there is no need to wait until the solvent evaporates before you can ride your bike. You can think of it as a concentrated chain lube. That’s why only a small amount of lubricant is needed to keep the chain smooth and silent. LONG LASTING AMPLE AND ECONOMICAL IN USE Rex Arctic shares the well-documented lubricating performance and longevity of Domestique, and is thus among the best in its class. Despite its small size, each bottle is enough for up to 30 lubrications. Independent laboratory tests in Finland and Australia have proven Rex’s top-class lubrication ability. Low friction and low chain wear go hand in hand, and using Rex will make chains and cassette sprockets last longer.

*NON-RETURNABLE ITEM* This is the Airtrim Cold Air Mask Racing Blue, which includes the mask and one each of Racing Filters 1, 2, and 3. From Joel: The Airtrim not only warms the air you breathe, you'll find your hands and feet stay warmer, too. From the manufacturer: AirTrim Cold Air Masks warm the air you breathe to help in extreme cold and dry conditions. There are four filter types - Sport/Asthma and Racing 1, 2 and 3. The old Asthma filter has been replaced with the Sport filter for 2024. The Sport filter is renamed the Sport/Asthma filter. It provides the most warming (lowest airflow) and is for low- to medium-intensity exercise and people with asthma or angina who suffer from breathing cold air. Because the Sport/Asthma filter conserves heat more effectively, it can be used to help ward off hypothermia in the event of an accident. The Race Filters are for high-intensity training and racing. Race 1 is the most resistance/warming (lower intensity), and Race 3 is the least resistance/warming (higher intensity). During use, the filter gets very damp, and you should clear it regularly by blowing vigorously through the mask. Avoid touching the wet filter, as it tears easily. Allow the mask and filter to air dry. Always bring along spare filters on long training sessions and mountain trips. Spare filters must be kept dry. Filters that are adequately dried between uses should last 20-30+ sessions. The Sport mask comes with one sport/asthma filter and one Racing 1 filter. The Asthma mask comes with two sport/asthma filters. Filter packs come in 2-packs of Racing 1, Racing 2, Racing 3, and Sport/Asthma. The Racing Filter Pack contains one each of Racing 1, 2, and 3. *NON-RETURNABLE ITEM*

Best Fit Form THE PURPOSE The Hok is designed as an easy to use ski for the backcountry. Its short wide dimensions makes the ski incredibly maneuverable, and the integrated climbing skin gives the Hok great traction for climbing.The right balance of running base and skin material makes the ski’s downhill speed manageable and easy to control. Bridging cross-country skis and snowshoes, the Hok combines the maneuverability and ease of use found in snowshoes with the ski’s efficiency of sliding forward rather then lifting and stepping with each stride. THE FEATURES The Hok features a synthetic climbing skin integrated into the base of the ski, steel edges for durability, and a light weight cap construction. In an effort to minimize our carbon footprint, we use, a sustainable paulownia wood corereinforced with a combination of organicnatural fibers and fiberglass. Simple graphics and natural fibers combine with design themes from the the Altai Mountains for a unique look. THE NAME The name, ‘Hok’ {hawk}, is the Tuwa word for ski in the Altai Mountains. The Tuwas are the smallest ethnic group in the area and the most dedicated skiers. BINDINGS The skis comes with inserts matching the extended 75mm norm hole pattern. This is compatible with current 75mm 3pin bindings as well as the universal binding we are offering with the ski. We also have an adapter plate that is compatible with Rottefella NNN BC and Solomon BC bindings. SIZING The Hok will be available in three sizes, the 125 cm., the 145 cm. and the kids version, Balla Hok, 99cm. While user size can influence your choice of which length to get, intended use is equally important. Here is a brief description of the differences between the two lengths. The 145 has a little more “ski” DNA in it and works better for those looking to use the Hoks in a more downhill fashion. The 145 has a bit more glide as well, but is less maneuverable in tight spaces. The 145 has a bit more floatation for deep snow and BIG skiers. The 125 is better as a snowshoe substitute, more maneuverable, better in thick woods and brush, lighter, and a little better grip. The 125 is also easier to control and use for those unfamiliar with skis. Both sizes turn well with the 125 being a bit easier due to the length, but also a bit less stable at speed. For general use and as a snowshoe substitute the 125 works best. The length affects the boot/binding you use as well, with the 125 being easier to ski with a light boot or the universal binding.
