TIME TO HIT THE SLOPES

TIME TO HIT THE SLOPES

Posted by IPD International on

It’s cold out there. If you live somewhere in the USA or globally that has a winter season, you’re really feeling the chill these days. As many of you know (or do not know), our brand is based out of Costa Mesa, CA. Yes, we have winter out here in southern California. No, it’s not nearly as cold as norcal, or the east coast, or northern America. Yes, it still gets cold sometimes. The best thing about California is that when it’s cold, there’s most likely snow on the mountains. Whether you are snowboarding locally in southern California or taking a trip to any of the great mountains up north, we’ve got some gear we think you might want to pack for your snowboarding or ski-ing trip.

SHIPSTERNS JACKET

Ever wish your favorite flannel kept you a little warmer? If so, consider this shacket as your wish being granted. A quilted interior, zip-up closure, and fleece hood makes this heavy-duty flannel jacket ready for the colder excursions. 

STRUMMER CREW

Time for a guitar solo. The strummer fleece catches peoples eye like a solid solo catches the ear. It’s easy to stack a crew neck onto your fit, or maybe it’s a bluebird day and you can rock the crew solo. Either way, this thing has the style you need on the mountain and off it. 

OVERCAST OR EVERGREEN SHIRT

We know it’s cold, but a nice flannel can help with many things you might need up on the mountain. Maybe you need an extra light layer to pack onto the kit. Going out to dinner? Maybe you’ll need a collar for the restaurant. Slide one of these bad boys on under your jacket and you’ll be dialed for whatever the trip throws your way. 

GULLY BEANIE

The perfect beanie for your next cold weather encounter. Up on the mountains all day, you gotta keep your noggin cold. Once that thing gets chilly, it’s game over. Bonus steeze even if it’s not that cold, use the Gully beanie to tame your mop inside the cabin or around town.

BONUS: BOARD SHORTS

This might sound a bit crazy, but you need a solid pair of board shorts for any trip into the cold, snow-filled mountains. Hear us out. You boarded all day. Just wrapped up dinner. About to shower and go to bed. But one last feature is calling your name: hot tub. Nothing is better than sinking a couple tins with your mates after a long, cold day from the jacuzzi. Unthaw in style with some of our board shorts. Best part? They dry fast so you’ll never have to pull em on wet. Simple as that!

While we love the winter swells that come through southern California during the winter, one of our favorite things to look forward to are those strike missions to the mountains. Now that you know what IPD goods to take with you on your next run, you don’t have any excuse not to go. Better get on it sooner than later, before you know it we’ll be back to seventy degree weather and the start of south swells.
