Leading up to Outdoor Retailer you get loads of press releases. Some things are cooler than others, but this one looks interesting.
It’s a cooler that folds flat for transport and storage and flips open with a self-locking design. The Flip-Box is American-made from 100% Apro recyclable polypropylene; the same material used in bicycle helmets.
Look for it at OR in the Sport-Brella booth (BR543).
Stuffa is a new clothing concept that features empty compartments in the construction rather than insulation. The brainchild of UK-based designer Sandro Cafasso it allows the wearer to “stuff” the compartments with clothing and any other items required for a short trip. On one hand, it beats checking a bag at the airport. On the other, I can imagine some things won’t travel quite as well as others.
If you are interested, Gizmag took a look at it which you might find useful.
Last week we showed you the new Project Honor Camouflage pattern from LBX Tactical. Taking its name from Project Honor, an awareness and charity program associated with the upcoming Electronic Arts video game title ‘Medal of Honor Warfighter’ you can now see how it was created.
Working with Element Group, they adapted the TF Lion insignia to produce the pattern and went to Duro Textiles for printing. Look for pre-orders later this week of a variety of products in this unique camo pattern.

This is Combat Flip Flops’ first Stokesperson commercial and features Ironman racer Jed Conklin. This film was made and edited by a 17 year old kid that gets it and features a graffiti artist in the intro who worked on HALO.
Long before there was a Mystery Ranch or even a Dana Designs, there was Kletterwerks. Although short lived, it was Dana Gleason’s first pack company. And now, it’s back. At least, after a fashion. Kletterwerks is the baby of the Dana Gleason III, better known as D3. It’s envisioned as an update to the original line but from a lifestyle angle rather than hardcore outdoor. The initial run, already sold out, will premiere in Japan. We can’t wait to see what they’ve cooked up.
