OR Summer Market – Sierra Designs

Wednesday, August 13th, 2014

Last year Sierra Designs introduced the Pack Trench, which a long rain coat that offers a from the bottom zip flap that allows you to wear a pack waist belt and lay the front flap of the coat over the belt. It’s a great design and I’ve been wearing one when I need a longer trench-style coat for about 6 months.

At Summer Market, Sierra Designs introduced the next generation in lightweight rainwear.

It consists of a cagoule-style top with the same waist belt flap of the trench and a set of rain chaps. When paired with a longer jacket like this cagoule, chaps are a great idea. They eliminate the crotch area that rips and causes heat buildup. Made from 40D coated fabric, these are a great lightweight alternative to many rain suits.

OR Summer Market – Brooks Range

Monday, August 11th, 2014

I’ve mentioned the Brooks Range Elephant Foot Sleeping Bag in the past but it remains one of the simplest, yet effective items out there.

Designed to work in concert with a parka, the Elephant Foot Sleeping Bag covers your feet to offer full, to-toe coverage. It weighs 18 oz and is filled with 8.5oz of 850+ DownTek treated goose down for waterproofness. The 20D shell incorporates a foot box lined with 40D nylon for abrasion resistance yet maintaining minimal weight.

Blade Show 2014 – Primal Gear Unlimited

Saturday, June 7th, 2014

As I walked the show floor something caught my eye. The Primal Revolution Tactical Quiver was developed to modernize an age old design. It is versatile and can be suspended from a belt, attached to a pack, worn over the shoulder or across the back. In fact, it’s flat back design sits very well, keeping it in place instead of rolling around. They’ve also integrated a 3-point harness to prevent sway while you’re moving.
