NSW Gore-Tex® M65 Jacket

momentum1 — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 17:30:26 +0000

Nike Sportswear continues to add impressive pieces to their already spectacular NSW Pinnacle line (see: Cardigan; Crewneck). So far, the M65 Gore-Tex® Jacket is the greatest example of the balance between technical and aesthetic design that NSW is maintaining. The Gore-Tex® Paclite Shell, alongside its laser cut seams and bonded construction, will keep you absolutely dry. More technical features include a packaway hood and articulated shoulders and arms for increased mobility. All this based within a sleek black M65 jacket, NSW continues to keep me looking forward for great things in the upcoming months.

Matix Quiet Riot Jacket

momentum1 — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:30:25 +0000

Never will I get tired of seeing pre-made jacket/hoody combinations: real or not, they’re just a great combo. Matix succeeds in the pairing of the two with their Womens Quiet Riot Jacket. While being a faux-leather jacket, it should be suitable for any fashion fanatic regardless of its 100% PU (polyurethane) label. The cream colorway with the heather hood are sure to secure compliments all season long.

ListenUp. presents Power Mixtape

momentum1 — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:16:22 +0000

‘Power’… to give power to; make powerful, to inspire; spur; sustain, ability to do or act; capability of doing or accomplishing something.

After the recent drop of Kanye’s Power Remix, ListenUp was inspired to collect music that conveyed power; in the sense of capability and accomplishment. Our Power Mixtape features songs that represent the same self-aggrandisement that Kanye puts into his art, and songs that tell the story of those who excel past their own expectations. The journey to power is epic, and our collection of songs puts you into the state of mind of someone who goes through that journey of ‘The Come Up’, ‘The WarmUp’, and ‘Blow Up’. Please enjoy, download, and ListenUp.

Burton Whammy Bar Marley Snowboard

momentum1 — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:30:14 +0000

Click & Read

It’s beginning to be that time of the year again and Burton may just be doing it better than ever before. The first board of the season I’m going to highlight is the Whammy Bar Marley Snowboard. Like the title implies, the board itself makes use of Bob Marley’s image for a great decal. Technical features are on point as usual, as Burton is always trying to exceed expectations each season. This year they have come up with the V-Rocker ™ — which provides a rock zone between your feet and between those rock zones and the tip and tail. This disengages the contact points, lifting the tip and tail of the snowboard. All in all the Whammy Bar will make riding more comfortable and enjoyable while providing a good feel.
