Crystal Ski has revealed its uniform for the 2014-15 winter season. Keeping up to date, they’ve decided to ditch the tired polo shirt and trouser combo, for the more comfortable, versatile and fashionable onesie. Onesies are, of course, exactly what you need when working in the snow.

Arc’teryx Rebranding

Canadian outdoor clothing manufacturer Arc’teryx today announced it is rebranding. Effective from April 1, the company is switching from the condensed word, Arc’teryx, to its easier-to-pronounce root: Archaeopteryx. A redesign of the new logo was unveiled today along with the two-year multi-million dollar plan to entirely erase the previous name. When asked if the cost of the new look was going to be reflected in future pricing, the company had “no comment at this time.”
