As summer winds down, we’re thinking ahead. Our favorite snowsports brands are starting to drop their 2026 collections. Here’s the gear we’re excited to test this winter from brands who are prioritizing people and planet.

 

Coalition Snow

Coalition Snow started as a grand experiment to see what would happen when women had the audacity to take up space in a male-dominated industry, and to do so on their own terms. This brand is big and bold. For women, by women.

Coalition Snow

‘Lil Nasty
After three years of designing, testing, and refining, these skis are ready for the world. Hitting the sweet spot of a mid-fat ski that performs in all conditions, in all terrain.

 

Meier

Skis designed and made in Denver with eco-friendly materials, Meier gives trees that die in the beetle-kill pine epidemic a second life and helps mitigate forest fires with responsible harvesting. The brand focuses on giving back to land access, inclusivity, safety, community initiatives.

Vibrations by Lamont Joseph White
Ok, so this snowboard isn’t new for the upcoming season, but we couldn’t pass up an opportunity to highlight this Meier collab with Lamont Joseph White. Lamont’s artwork highlights diversity and inclusion in the outdoors and challenges traditional narratives while celebrating the joy of alpine sports.

 

Burton

After 48 years in the biz, Burton still leads the way in positive social and environmental impact. A founder of the Outdoor Diversity Alliance, a certified B Corp, and a powerhouse advocacy program elevating underrepresented communities, Burton seriously walks the walk while empowering us to play outside.

Men’s Burton Highshot Step On® Snowboard Boots
Made for those who like a responsive, powerful boot, the men’s Burton Highshot Step On® Snowboard Boots offer total control of boot fit and tensioning to match its powerful flex. A Sequence BOA® Fit System provides control of the shell closure and tension around the foot with a single dial.

At Bonfire, we believe in love at first gear. The kind of love that lasts through 12-mile trail days, spontaneous swims, sticky s’mores fingers, and sunrise coffee moments. We asked the team: what piece of summer gear are you so obsessed with, you’d put a ring on it? Here’s the roundup of our deepest, most committed gear crushes.

 

Nemo Equipment

Nemo Jazz™ Double Sleeping Bag

Submitted by Erik Lambert, CEO

The backcountry cuddle castle. Spacious, cozy, and cushier than your actual bed. Erik’s snuggle-maximizer is built for stargazing spoon sessions and camp-lux dreams. Jazz hands not included.

 

 

 

Osprey

Osprey Poco Plus Child Carrier

Picked by Brian Bensch, Fractional Media Director

For trailblazing parents who don’t believe in leaving the kid (or the dogs) behind. This carrier is Brian’s daily MVP, handling everything from desert hikes to sidewalk strolls. Bonus: tiny human not included.

 

 

Outdoor Research

Outdoor Research Echo Hoodie

Picked by Marisa Dobrot, Administrator

The ultimate summer fling. Breezy, protective, and always down for any adventure. Marisa wears this for everything. If it were legal to marry a hoodie, she’d have already eloped.

 

 

LEKI

LEKI Ultratrail FX.One Poles

Also picked by Marisa, because monogomy is overrated

These pink power sticks turned Marisa’s long runs into smooth operators. Lightweight, snappy, and cute as hell. Who says trail gear can’t be flirty?

 

 

Cascade Designs

Platypus GravityWorks Water Filter System

Picked by Sara Grant, Director of Story

Why pump when gravity can do the work? Sara’s camp crush keeps the crew hydrated and envious because there’s nothing sexier than effortless clean water.

 

 

 

REI Co-op

REI Co-op Down Booties

Also picked by Sara Grant, because cozy love is forever

These puffball slippers are Sara’s off-grid soulmates. Light in the pack, heavy in comfort, and ready to warm toes from campsite to couch.

 

 

La Sportiva

La Sportiva TC Pro Climbing Shoe

Picked by Ty Morrison-Heath, Sr. Paid Media Specialist

Italian leather. That sweet schlllooocckkk fit. Three sizes for different moods. Ty’s in deep. These are his sharp-end soulmates and he’s not afraid to say it.

 

 

Exped

Exped MegaMat

Picked by Sunnee Hoppe, Director of Strategy

Glamping vibes without the guilt. Sunnee’s MegaMat is a camp comfort king. Thick, cushy, and always there to cradle your dreams. Forget sleeping bags. Marry the mattress.

 

 

Oveja Negra

Oveja Negra Wack Pack™

Picked by Julie Bacon, Account Manager

Because biking equals candy runs. Julie’s ride-or-die snack satchel lets her relive her childhood one Take Five at a time. Stylishly stashed and always within reach. Sweet tooth, meet top tube.
