CARRY-ON SKIING
Vollebak’s latest release
uses Dyneema, the world’s
strongest fibre, making it
the outerwear equivalent
of a Sherman tank wrapped
in a missile-proof duvet.
Up to 15 times stronger than
steel – we’ve seen knives
bounce off it – Dyneema
covers this quilted jacket,
designed to keep you toasty
down to -40°C.
What’s perhaps even more
remarkable is the fact that this
stuff gets stronger the colder
it becomes – which is why it’s
most commonly used to make
mooring lines on giant ships
and deep-water oil rigs in
freezing seas.

a sacred mountain rule and
wore shades with a helmet...
but when the light went flat
we were still able to see thanks
to Oakley’s Prizm lens tech.
