Digital Orange Camo Wrap for KTM Riders
Sunday, October 28th, 2012Kili-Climbing
Wednesday, September 19th, 2012Kili Climbing is a new business venture for Chris Kopp who founded CTOMS after retiring as a PJ from the Canadian military. Chris is an avid climber and he’s been working on developing Kili-Climbing for about a year now.
Chris gave us the low down on this new undertaking…”While CTOMS remains my main focus, Kili-Climbing is my pet project. As some know, I dabble in climbing so when my friend approached me to be his business partner in a new venture, it was hard to say no. It is an African, specifically Tanzanian climbing and safari company offering climbs on Kilimanjaro, Meru and Ol Doinyo Lengai as well as safari and diving packages. We arrange the bookings from North America and my business partner manages operations on the ground in Tanzania. Being retired military, catering to that demographic is something important to me from the perspective of adventure training and high altitude familiarization training for operational applications as well as facilitating wounded veterans climbs. What we don’t offer is cookie cutter packages, but rather custom tailored ones where we can plan and book as little or as much as the clients desires. This includes fully supported climbs and trips, or facilitating self-supported climbs that meet the minimal legal guide requirements.”
All-in-all it sounds like a great way for our kinds of folks to arrange a climbing trip to Africa.

Ful or Less? The Citizen Eco-Drive Proximity
Monday, September 3rd, 2012The new Citizen Eco-Drive Proximity is not only solar powered but it also connects via Bluetooth to your iPhone. The point of the system is that it has small indicators on the face and the second hand swings to one of them to indicate that there is something on your iPhone that needs attention, for example a message or meeting. the advantage is that you can leave your phone in your bag or pocket and still be notified by your phone even when it is silent. What do you think about your devices talking to one another? Could this be applied in other instances as well?
It’s certainly stylish, but is it Useful or Useless? Either way, it’s coming this Fall from www.citizenwatch.com.
Overade
Tuesday, August 21st, 2012Sometimes we post a product simply for its attributes. The Overade bicycle helmet from France is one such item.
Overade is a folding helmet for cyclists. Considering that carting around a helmet is such a pain once you get to your destination, it’s a great idea for commuters. Additionally, the concept might just inspire someone to produce other ‘transformer’ products.

OR Follow – Up Arc’teryx Spring 13 – Pt 2
Thursday, August 9th, 2012As if the hoody and pants we showed earlier today wasn’t enough, we thought you might like these as well.
I am a Big fan of hoodies and I can’t wait for the Witness Hoody which features a full length zipper opening.
In their product display, Arc’teryx paired the Witness with the Aristo Pant. As you can see it features an uber-articulated knee. Below is a little better look at the knee detail. It is somewhat reminiscent of the articulation found on the Drac/Sphinx/Talos minus the webbing reinforcement.
Look for these as well as many other exciting new products Spring 2013 from www.arcteryx.com
OR – Helly Hansen
Saturday, August 4th, 2012Helly Hansen was started in 1877 by a Norwegian sea Captain who created the first waterproof jacket from canvas impregnated in linseed oil. Today they are a global business that produces everything from high fashion to footwear. But, they still well known for their waterproof shells and Lifa, their base layer brand.
This is a display of their hydrophobic Lifa Dry. Yes, it is floating on top of the water. After hours in the tank other brands soak up water and sink. Amazingly, the Lifa continues to float based on its hydrophobic properties.
The Fast Pack Jacket is a lightweight waterproof breathable shell. Part of the Helly Hansen Odin series, it weighs a scant 242 grams or 8.4 oz! It’s a fully seam sealed design with a vent through pocket. It packs into the size of a baseball if you’re manly enough to squeeze it tight. Available now.
Finally, I’d like to mention that HH provided garments for last year’s wounded warrior ascent of Everest. HRH Prince Harry participated in the expedition.
