Outdoor Retailer – Adidas
Friday, August 2nd, 2013Big news at Adidas is Earth Green. The AX2 Non Gore-tex Mesh, AX2 Gore-tex, AX2 Mid Gore-tex, and Terrex FastX Gore-tex. The Terrex FastX was an 2013 Outside magazine Gear of the Year award winner.
Another new shoe is the Terrex Scope Gore-tex with Stealth Rubber from 5.10. I’m digging the to toe lacing and the Stealth Rubber toe rand. Adiprene midsole for shock absorption. Tactical colors coming in fall.

Outdoor Retailer – 5 Seas Engineering and Trading
Friday, August 2nd, 20135 Seas Engineering and Trading is the passion of Eagle Industries founder John Carver. He continues to develop good ideas and shared this one with me. The Patent Pending Barracks Buddy was inspired by a requirement to hang multiple hooks to organize gear. It can also be used in locations where you can’t drive nails into the wall.
Truth be told, John’s wife Gretchen came up with the idea in order to help John keep after his stuff.
They realize pretty quickly that this new invention would be great for guys in the military.
What’s more, the hooks can be moved up and down the Barracks Buddy. And, it can be hung vertically or horizontally.
The Barracks Buddy is distributed by H2OG.
