Drop MFG Throttle Gloves
Are you thinking of going snowboarding and looking for Gloves? Well these Drop MFG Throttles are the nuts.I have been wearing them to and from work as the slopes are miles away right now and they are damn hot. They are waterproof, perforated and in leather that is soft to the touch with a zipper at the back.
You could also use them for burglaries and bank jobs as they look the part but best used on the slopes.

Nikita Knitmit
Girls will be looking fresh in these crystal white Nikita Knitmits this winter. But washing them will become the norm as these will turn dirty in colour if you don’t keep them clean.
Also available in red and black to and at a snip at £8.99 from selected stores.
Visit www.nikitaclothing.com or www.afour.com for a list of the stores to grab them from.
This hat is seriously comfortable, I have been wearing one all week. The reversible option is always a bonus as well, especially if you are on the run. Also this striped beanie comes in all sorts of colours, this is our favourite although they did send us rasta hat for the review, but can you imagine Zac sporting a rasta hat? Nah, nor could we!
Etnies have these peaked winter beanies out that are quite fresh this season but we have no idea what they are actually called. This one is grey but they probably come in all sorts of colours. They even have these festive cuties for the ladies with lovely stars on to.
Es have gone for the traditional beanie in the colours you can see from this image and come up trumps.
Blueprint are arguably the most active skateboard company in the UK but what are their new hoodies like? Well after wearing a Prevalence design for a week, they are soft strong and very very long, just like the advert but without the dogs. Actually, you can take the long bit out, but they are soft and fluffy and desirable for the winter months ahead.
This is the OG in style, I dunno why, it probably has something to do with the great artwork but I have worn one of these until it started to get holes in the elbows over the last year and a half.
One for the girls out there. Nikita make some seriously funky clothes and this winter the Hot Spot Hoodie should probably be at the top of your hit list with its comfortable set up.
This hooded zip fleece should keep the girls snug this winter with 80% cotton and 20% polyester to keep you warm on the inside.
OK, this our Shoe of the Year without a doubt and not only because Mark “Fos” Foster designed the dope Heroin graphics for this shoe either.
SWYD stands for “Sleep When Your Dead” and the man that used this phrase more than most this year is Dirty Sanchez fulltime stunt knob Matt Pritchard. We love those guys here at Crossfire so we were stoked when we heard that Pritch has a shoe out on Globe. Keep your focus in these clean, technical skate shoes with smooth leather or soft suede upper in a technical skate style, with stitching accents, a plain toe with perforation accents, and side stitched stripes. You can find an embossed and stitched Globe logo on side, heel, and tongue plus a full lace up front, with a padded collar and thick padded mesh tongue featuring keeper straps. Soft fabric lining and a cushioned insole keep your feet warm and they sport a Grippy gum rubber outsole for maximum board control.
I admit that I don’t usually rush to the DVS display when I look for a new pair of kicks, but in todays competitive skate shoe industry and among the hundreds of different models on offer, the new DVS Novas come correct. No bells and whistles just a simple functional shoe with a sweet suede upper and sticky gum sole. I started to skate these straight out of the box which is always a big thumbs up by my standards.
With a gum sole and a suede upper, these DVS Dills are ready to skate from the box as they are pretty flexible being a thin shoe. with a hidden lace loop. There is nothing else that is special about these shoes, no hidden features, no bullshit, just straight up out of the bag skate shoes with a nice go faster stripe at the back end, just like the rider who skates them.
Jackets are essential to survive the winter but finding one that you can skate in that works is actually quite hard. This jacket was the first to turn up here at HQ in a box from Revival Distribution and is the warmest you will find this time of the year. But making a jacket warm does not mean that it is the heaviest jacket on the shelf because otherwise you would not be able to skate in it whatsoever.
Winter arrived late this year, but it’s here now and it’s as bad as every other year! With temperatures hitting all time lows, you’ll need something warm but not too heavy for a session if you’re hitting up the great outdoors.
OK, this is not a jacket recommended for skateboarding but who said you have to skate in any of these products, it’s all clothing right? This jacket is a men’s heavyweight leather with a printed lining from Hurley. BTW, we were told the punk ass pin badge selection comes included. Nice touch.
Well, it looks warm doesn’t it? But I must admit I have never been a fan of the tight sleeves on jackets as I have never really had that snotty nose thing some people have and these sleeves always serve as a perfect spoon!
OK, this jacket should look dope on any girl just as long as you keep off the floor at gigs ladies! This looks like the sort of jacket that would make some of our friends heads turn and are recommended for girls with tight units!
I’m not a girl, (well not the last time I looked) but I reckon this jacket would look pretty hot on most. It’s a jacket and vest combo so great for winter and spring with a snug hood and 2 deep pockets in the front with zippers for your gloves.
8 years after his death, The Notorious B.I.G aka Biggie Smalls has a new album out, this time with his previously unheard studio stuff being paired up with a host of guest rappers, some of whom weren’t even out of nappies during his reign on the top of the Rap world.
Hearing the music by this widely tipped trio being described as “Spazz Punk” is perhaps the most apt description of an album I’ve ever come across. One minute you’re sitting listening to twanging guitars, the next your ear drums are being shattered by screams that would have banshees cowering in awe.; float:right;)
So Colt, how’s England been treating you? Cold eh?
If you like your Alternative US rock, then Yellowcard are back with a new album as their follow up to 2003’s Ocean Avenue. This debut album back in 2003 seemed to catch on in alternative music circles like free beer in skate jam and it looks as though Lights and Sounds will be no different. The band have taken a different approach to this record this time round and the result is a much bigger, more challenging mix of different styles of music that is all held together by big hooks, catchy songs and overall, more personal.
