The winter is fast approaching, and our friends at EnjoyWinter have a lot to offer that can set you up right for the season.

Use the code MNC2223 at checkout for 30% OFF your order! What’s more, with each order using that code, MNC receives 10% of the purchase price to spend on wax and tools for the upcoming season…that may not sound like much, but last year this promotion helped us provide klister and kickwax for many of our training sessions. We love being able to provide wax at training sessions (especially klister days), rather than asking our members to purchase their own out-of-pocket.

So…if you need some cool new gear for the winter, check out EnjoyWinter.com and use the coupon code MNC2223 at checkout!

Some notes on brands and products from EnjoyWinter, including brands you may not have heard of:

• Bliz glasses…goes without saying these are some of the most popular ones on the market!
• Swenor rollerskis…our preferred brand of rollerskis, and we particularly prefer aluminum models for their light weight and durability
• Start wax…the klisters and hardwaxes are great in particular, and the “Oslo” kickwaxes are a must-have for New England skiing
• STC poles…a brand the specializes in lower-cost poles and a great entry option for stiff poles at lower prices than Swix or OneWay
• 4KAAD poles…see above!
• Spine boots…much like STC poles, this is a smaller company and a great option for lower-cost boots than more familiar brands

The Podiumwear team storefront for all of our MNC apparel is NOW OPEN for round one of ’22/’23 gear ordering.

MNC Team Storefront: Fall ’22

This is the place to order things like:

• Your MNC race suit (with options for one-piece or two-piece)
• Your MNC warmup jacket
• MNC warmup pants, pom hats, compression shorts, etc

Some items have new models, and may take a day or so to appear in the online store…please keep checking back periodically.

This storefront closes on October 31st with an expected ship date in late November. We will do a second round of storefront ordering shortly thereafter, but if you are seeking a race suit for the winter this is the best time to ensure that you have a suit in time for the early-season races.

Please note that prices are set by Podiumwear, and MNC does not profit from sale of these items. All transactions and payments go directly through Podiumwear, and this storefront is simply a conduit for ordering and production. 

Note that this order does NOT include a parka or “puffy coat” option. Are you a Junior looking to get a puffy coat? This year we’ve found an option for a Backcountry insulated jacket for around $50. Juniors who are interested in having this be their MNC jacket should order this model from this website and bring it to Coach Adam before October 31st for embroidery (about $10-15 per jacket, we will have the shield logo on the arm and ‘Mansfield Nordic Club’ on the back, all in official MNC script/branding).

A few Juniors have already received their parkas, and we can confirm that the jacket fits true-to-size and is good quality. Note that the women’s model does not have a hood, so it may be worth considering the men’s model for that benefit.

Men’s model: please choose Blue (“Nebula Blue”) or black (“Stretch Limo”). Blue is preferred. 

Women’s model: please choose Blue or black. Blue is preferred.
