Ski Gear gift?

[Getting Ready]

My hubs has a birthday coming up and he wants "maybe something for skiing?". He has all the things I think he needs so I'm wondering if there is anything "extra" that is not a necessity but something you're glad you have or wish you had?

Does he like to listen to music when he skis? You could get him some audio equipment for that. Smith offers a nice set up.

Not a big present, but I have a phone harness from Koala and use it all the time.

Does he have a Gogglesoc? It's a soft cloth protector for goggles made of recycled bottles. Comes in lots of different patterns.

I envy your phone harness! Saw it at Sunday River. I'm a faithful user of my mitten leashes, and the phone harness could be the next step.

I recently got a goggle fan. If he skis with glasses or otherwise has problems with fogging, this thing is great. Or, a fabulous pair of base layers. They are hella expensive, and really nice ones are great.

Is there a goggle fan you like best?

I have no idea. There was only one brand at the store; I'm not sure what the brand was!

Not sure what he has ... but I am coveting those goggles with the magnetic lenses for easy switching out on the go.

There are items that some consider a "need" but others would consider it a "want". Does he have Hotronics yet? Or Boot Gloves? Or since spring skiing is just starting up maybe some lighter weight gloves. Or if has insulated pants maybe shells?

I have those, and they are seriously great.

I love my boot heaters (Therm-ic) and anti fog goggles (abom). Both pricy
Also, extra ski socks and base layer are always nice, perhaps in a cool color?

I just ordered the Smith Mag S goggles, 40% off on Backcountry. Probably other models on sale too, but I was focused on that one specifically.

I have the Giro Ella. Takes me less than 30 seconds to change me lenses.
