Title: How Does BAÏST Stack Up Against the Competition?
1How Does BAIST Stack Up Against the Competition?
2By Owen Clarke
You might be wondering why BAÏST? Well, its
something I wondered too when I first came on
board here. Arcteryx, Hestra, Outdoor Research,
they all make great gloves, right? Of course they
do. But not like BAÏST. So lets break it down.
HOW DOES BAÏST STACK UP AGAINST THE COMPETITION?
3Value
The whole concept of BAÏST centers on the idea
that high quality doesn't have to mean high
price. One of the cool things that our founder
Ace Jonas did is he took all the cash that larger
brands have to spend on marketing, website
design, and other superfluous overhead, and then
he funneled that directly into making the
warmest, most durable mountain gloves in
existence. At BAÏST, its all about making the
product as kickass as possible, and nothing more.
BAÏST cut out the middlemen, the agencies, all
the extra fluff of larger brands that take away
from developing a bomber product, to focus on the
glove system itself. With most competitor glove
brands, the gloves alone cost around 190, if not
more. With liners and leashes and goggle cleaners
and all that added in, totals get closer to 280
or 290!

PERFORMANCE
So you get it, BAÏST is much cheaper than the
competitors. Is it warmer though?
YES. YES IT IS.
03
BAÏST was designed by Ace Jonas, a skier,
snowboarder, and telemarker who suffers from
Raynauds Phenomenon. This basically means his
hands have extremely poor circulation in cold
weather (I have Raynauds too, so I know
firsthand). Long story short, BAÏST was literally
created by a guy whose hands are way way way
colder than the average person, someone who
needed maximum warmth.
6Youre buying an entire system.
The BAÏST System is made up of several different
parts that all work together to keep your hands
toasty warm and tactile, no matter how frosty the
climes are. It starts with the skin layer, which
is extreme moisture wicking, heat sealing, touch
screen compatible, so you never have to expose
your skin to the cold. The layers narrow profile
takes up no extra room in your glove, allowing
for top-notch dexterity.
7HOW DOES BAÏST STACK UP AGAINST THE COMPETITION?
You dont make a product under those
circumstances without putting 110 of your heart
and stoke into it. You dont make a product under
those circumstances and settle for anything less
than pure excellence. If youre someone who
loves the mountains, whether youre a mountaineer
like me or a snowboarder like Ace, BAÏST is for
you. Its made for people like me and you, and it
works for people like me and you. Its that simple
