Secret Santa: Goli Mohammadi – Snow Toolbelt
Depending on the time of year, if Goli isn’t making stuff, she’s usually out on some mountain somewhere carving it up. This Woman’s Diamond Snow Toolbelt from 686 seems like it would come in handy, like when you’re stuck in the backcountry and making an adjustment means a smooth run vs limping down the hill. Besides stylishly holding things up, this belt includes #2 Phillips and flat-head screwdrivers, a 8/10/11mm wrench loop, and the ever-useful bottle opener. Who doesn’t want to open bottles with their belt buckle?
