New Sherpa Wool Winter Hats





We just added some new Sherpa Wool Winter Hats to our selection of Sherpa Adventure Gear hand-knit hats on Powderfin.com.



All hats are fleece lined for itch free warmth, and are super comfy! I wear the Namche pretty much every day here in the Montana winter, and it's the warmest hat I've ever own. At around $20... Sherpa hats are a good investment to keep your dome warm.


Here's a few of the new ones...




This classic-style Sherpa winter hat has polar fleece lining for keeping you warm on the ski hill, or walking the dog in town. The Sherpa Pema Wool fleece-lined wool beanie�s cable knit style is equally at home on your precious head in the Montana backcountry or on your way to the brew pub.










Sherpa Adventure Gear Nima Wool Winter Hat

This classic-style Sherpa winter hat has polar fleece lining for keeping you warm on the ski hill, or walking the dog in town. Enjoy warmth in style wearing this fleece-lined traditional wool hat in bold colors. The Sherpa Nima lambswool winter hat is hand-knit in Nepal, providing superior warmth and comfort.



Sherpa Adventure Gear Kungha Wool Winter Hat

The Sherpa Khunga combines the warmth of wool with stripes and contemporary style. The Khunga hat, like all Sherpa hats, has polar fleece liner for itch-free warmth. All sherpa hats are hand-crafted in Nepal, made of the finest lambs wool. Each Khunga Hat has been individually carded and knit in the valley of Kathmandu, Nepal.

Riviera Reds Seafood Shop - Portland, TX


If you want to try something other than stuffing your face with turkey and gravy this holiday season, how about some fresh, wild caught gulf shrimp from down south?!


My cousin Brant and his wife Carol started Riviera Reds Seafood Shop in 1987 in the Corpus Christi Airport, and they now ship seafood across the country. You can order online at shrimpfishcrab.com or you can call direct - 1-866-905-9056.


I've been cookin' up a mess of big ol' Texas Prawns for my Super Bowl party for the past few years, and it's always a hit!


Give it a try, overnight seafood delivery is available for any occasion.


Sherpa Adventure Gear




Need the perfect men's base layer... try the Sherpa Tsepun, or the Sherpa Baans. They're killer. Inexpensive, super comfortable, and effective base layers for any outdoor activity.
I recently left my Tsepun in Houston... laying across the back of a chair at a concert. Dumme. Time for a new one. Seriously, for right around $50.00, these things are a steal.

Pie Eating Contest - No Contest




One of Powderfin's PowderKin boldly entered the Steamboat Oktober West Cow Pie Eating Contest, proudly sporting his Powderfin logo tee for the action. I don't know what the Vegas odds were on this event, but as a longtime pal of the contestant known often as "the Grizzler", I would say they were pretty strong in favor of ol' Griz powering through a pie before anyone else willing to line up at the feeding table.



Look at the focus. After a full minute of mental preparation, our boy was ready to dive in.















There's nothing quite like seeing a master excel at their craft. On this day, there would be no denying our champion his due. Congratulations Griz, and thanks for representing Powderfin in this historic event. Haha...

Today brought in about 13 inches of the white stuff, and it's still coming down here in Bozeman! With the onset of winter, we're featuring some great outdoor adventure clothing like the Sherpa Halka Rain Jacket, and the amazingly technical Ground ski clothing. Here are a few shots of the ski jackets we have currently available on Powderfin.com.

If you're looking for a comfortable and innovative ski pack to get your backcountry skiing season off right, look to the Deuter Freerider 30 Ski Pack. It fits well, has plenty of room for gear, and can be used with skis or a snowboard. Strap it on and go find your stash!


If the snow continues to fall like this, we'll be seeing the opening of Bridger Bowl and Big Sky before long... Bridger is reporting a 28" settled base and 10" of fresh so far for this storm.

Get geared up for a great season on the hill with backcountry ski gear from your friends at Powderfin.com!
