Attendees will be refunded their registration fee for Winter Market and those companies who purchased November booth space may be refunded or apply their fee toward a booth at the new, combined show in January.
From here on out, there will be two shows per year, each three days in duration. Since January, 2018, Denver has hosted the shows. OR is contracted to remain in Denver until 2022.

OR Summer Market 19 – Skinners Barefoot Shoes
Friday, June 21st, 2019Skinners are socks that can be worn in lieu of shoes. These Barefoot Shoes combine knit construction with a 2mm layer of polymer adhered to the sole to protect the foot from sharp rocks and such.
While there’s a whole argument to be made that we aren’t created to wear shoes on our feet and doing so actually weakens them, I love the idea of Skinners because I can walk from my tent to take a leak at 3AM without having to put boots on.
Available now in multiple colors (olive shown) and sizes from skinners.cc as well as Amazon.
OR Summer Market 19 – SOG Knives Parashears
Friday, June 21st, 2019
The Parashears from SOG Knives we previewed last year are finally ready. It was designed in conjunction with emergency medics as a single tool they’d want to take when weight is a factor.
It integrates a glass breaker, line/seatbelt hook, rope cutter, inch rule, millimeter rule, tweezer,, serrated blade, awl, oxygen wrench, Phillips screwdriver, standard screwdriver/bottle opener and of course, compound leverage shears.
Yet, Parashears fold up into a compact form factor.
The holdup has been development of a version with Red handles and matte finished shear blades which will actually be released first as an REI exclusive. The other variant is finished completely in a Matte Black finish. Made from 3CR13 Stainless Steel with glass reinforced nylon handles.
