As a true midweight synthetic base layer, this set is designed to add noticeable warmth while still functioning…

Dear Bearing Arms Reader,We are one year into the most successful presidential term in history. President Trump continues to prove his doubters wrong, posting victories many assumed were never possible.

This year, for the first time in Olympic Games history, athletes from around the world will compete in ski mountaineering — “skimo.” There will be two events: the sprint and the mixed relay, both of which will include uphill and downhill portions.
