Get Your Butt in Gear: Gretchen Bleiler For Oakley

FitSugar — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 14:30:00 -0800

January is just around the corner, and that means it's time to play in the snow. Are you mountain ready? If you're in need of fresh gear, check out the new collection that snowboarding superstar Gretchen Bleiler designed for Oakley - and you thought they only made sunglasses.

Known for her crazy trick the inverted crippler, Bleiler designed a collection that mixes wild and tame. A jacket she calls The Mane features a faux fur trimmed hood and comes in three colors, one a bright yellow that suggests a lion abstracted. The collection includes basic jackets and pants, all with small details that give them style and flair. The jackets and pants are cut to flatter the female form, and many items are made with recycled polyester. At $250 to $300, the price range might be as steep as the mountains you ride, but style wedded with comfort and warmth is always priceless.

SteepandCheap.com: Great Deals on Gear

Looking for durable, brand name outdoor gear that is majorly marked down? Then you must check out Steepandcheap.com.

Basically, the site features one awesome item, for up to 75 percent off the regular (and usually expensive) price. Once it sells out, another item is featured so just about every five to ten minutes or so, there's a new sweet deal. I love their motto: "Act fast, 'cause once it's gone you're SOL..."

You'll find men and women's gear as well as off-season items (like skis in the summer), so that's why everything is quite affordable. The site also sells in-season stuff that it's trying to get rid of like Oakley sunglasses or wicking socks. I can't tell you how many amazing things I've bought off this website, and it's saved me a ton of money. The only condition is that you can only buy three of the same items at a time - I suppose to prevent you from buying a bunch and reselling them on eBay. If you love outdoor and fitness gear, you must check this website. Be sure to check it throughout the day since you never know what new deal will pop up next.
