So we have arrived at that exciting time of year again, and as most of you will probably already be aware, we have not seen an Australian season like this for quite some time!

Here at Rushfaster base camp, not only do we have a some fantastic luggage to help get you and all your gear to the slopes in true ski & boarding style, but we also stock a few essentials to help keep you ahead of the rest up on the mountain.

Those in the know will already be able to tell you that Gravis bags come from the highly respected industry brand Burton Snowboard’s; a leading alternative sports & fashion brand.

A newer brand on Rushfasters roster, the Gravis range has really taken off and it’s easy to see why. Not only do they make sought after, high quality, stylish, well priced bags, they make killer luggage!

Heading to the snow this winter, I personally couldn’t look past the Gravis Trekker suitcase, check it out for yourself and you will see why. It features everything you could possibly need in snow luggage, it is the perfect size, big enough to last me a week or two but not so big that it would look out of place on a weekend trip (although if you were looking for something REALLY big you could check out the Trekker’s big brother the Nomad…). It comes with its own removable toiletry bag, so that is one less thing you need to worry about plus this truly ingenius bag has a seperate laundry bag and a ventilated shoe compartment with external access to keep those wet shoes and laundry away from all your stuff! Brilliant! Finished with customised Gravis skateboard wheels, I really could not find anything cooler or more perfectly suited on the market.

But what about your day pack once you’re up there tearing up those slopes and searching for the perfect run I hear you ask? Well those visionary & efficient Scandinavians have done it again. Boblbe-e from Sweden are once again here to save the day with their Megalopolis range backpacks and the additional Boblbe-e Cargo Bridge carrying system for boards, skis & outdoor gear.

Developed for optimal ergonomics while carrying long items, the Cargo Bridge comes with a padded quick lock strap enabling stable vertical carrying of your gear. With its unique design & hard plastic shell, the Megalopolis backpack is TUV-Certified back protection for skiiers, mountain bikers and motorcycle riders. Not only does it look like a sleek futuristic rocket pack, think of it as a helmet for your back!

And last but not least, it is official, Rushfaster now have stock of the Gravis G-Kit straight from the US. This purpose designed accessory comes with a dedicated first aid compartment on the back as well as plenty of internal pockets to carry all your first aid must have necessities for the day with enough room left over to cram this cool new multi function bag full of energy bars to keep you going all day! Thank you Gravis, this product is an absolute must have on the slopes

In the lead up to Father’s Day we’re covering a whole bunch of wallets because they make excellent Father’s Day presents. A recent arrival at Rushfaster is the Ogon wallet. The deal with these wallets is that when you flick them open they create a nice little fan of credit cards. Choose your card with ease.

Put an Ogon wallet on your credit card and then put your credit card in your Ogon wallet.
