“New Products from the OR Show” is going to be a mini series of articles about gear and products from the Summer Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City, UT. The articles are going to be about new products that impressed me. Most of the products in the series are not out on the market yet, but will be coming out in the Fall of 2010 or next year some time.

Osprey Packs is introducing commuter packs for Spring/Summer 2011. The Momentum and Metron series incorporates the superior fit and comfort of an Osprey Pack with the functionality that is particularly geared to the needs of a bike commuter. “As a company, we encourage our team to find alternatives to commuting by car, biking being one of them,” said Gareth Martins, marketing director of Osprey. “Our entry into bike commuting is not only part of our culture but it is the natural evolution of our brand. Our customers enjoy active lifestyles, not just in the backcountry, but on a daily basis. The Momentum and Metron are great for biking, walking or public transit travel.
One product that is debuting/coming out at the Summer Outdoor Retailer show is the nPower PEG. This device is small, lightweight and recharges hand-held electronics from the energy a person generates while walking, running, or biking. Just place your nPower PEG vertically in your backpack, briefcase, or purse and go about your daily activities. As you move, your PEG captures and stores your kinetic energy, providing you with extra power when you need it. –While you’re on the go.
