We had to have a part 2 of the Best of the Outdoor Retailer Show because there were that many great new products this year. And in reality this is barely scraping the top of what new things are going to be coming out in the fall. We hope that you will continue to check back on our site to see updates of new gear and reviews of that gear. 2012 is going to be a busy year here at Open Air Life.
The 2012 Winter Outdoor Retailer Show was a hit. With thousands of outdoor minded people and over a thousand companies, there was plenty to see and some great new innovations and cool pieces of gear to play with. It was hard to narrow it down to just a few of our favorites as we could have picked many more, but we felt like these are some of the newest products that one might want or need. As always we would love to hear from you.
Bend, OR –November 8, 2010—Hydro Flask®, the world’s only all-double wall insulated bottle company, announces the official launch of its latest product for 2010 — the Standard Mouth Bottle. Met with great success in its limited early release, the company is now expanding distribution of the bottle to national and international markets.
The Standard Mouth Bottle is available in five colors in 12oz and 21oz sizes. Featuring a wider bottle mouth, 1 ¾ versus 1 ¼ inches, the Standard shares the same construction technologies as the “Original Mouth” Hydro Flask, such as a food-grade 18/8 stainless steel body, vacuum insulation, and an improved rounded base. All Hydro Flask bottles are sweat-proof and BPA-free and come standard with a Lifetime Warranty.
As a leading manufacturer of outdoor clothing and versatile outdoor clothes, KÜHL offers new editions to the Mountain Life men’s pants collection with the SLAKR and the REBEL.
Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) October 29, 2010 KÜHL Outdoor Clothing Company is establishing its dominance within the outdoor clothing market. Its versatile designs and innovative fabrics are uniquely satisfying the desires of a demanding outdoor lifestyle.
Coming off a successful summer, KÜHL president Kevin Boyle says, “If you look around the industry, the other manufacturers are playing catch-up. We see many companies beginning to implement the design features we first introduced to outdoor retailers over nine years ago,” Boyle said. “They can try to copy us but KÜHL will continue to innovate and lead the outdoor clothing industry as we have for the last decade.” Boyle said with confidence, “Our fit, out style, and our fabrics are unmatched.”
Salomon is introducing the XR Crossmax. This is Salomon’s answer to those looking for the perfect “door to trail” high mileage training shoe. The XR provides the best of both running and trail running needs. “If trails are part of your training program, then this is your shoe.” The XR comes in the “Guidance” style for pronators, and the “Neutral” style for neutral runners.
Part 3 is all about packs. First is a new comer to the OR Show. Mile High Mountaineering is a new company and have some impressive packs. They paid attention to detail during the design process and building their packs. They have a few different packs but I wanted to highlight the Divide. It is perfect for weekend to weeklong trips and a great “go-to” pack for most of your exploring.
