Petzl's new Bindi hits the market Jan 2018. It's an ultralightweight (35g), rechargeable and IPX7 waterproof, 200 lumen headlamp designed for everyday use. I really like the adjustable, shock cord strap.
It has three modes, proximity, movement and distance vision along with a red light selection. Made in Hungary.
Coming Spring 18, and offered in a Berry compliant version, Darn Tough Vermont is introducing a sock with graduated compression in the upper. It starts at 15 mm hg at the ankle and transitions to 12 mm hg at the top, with an average of 13 mm hg along the graduation. In addition to their custom knit arch support, the sock is made from their lightest weight Merino Wool yarn. This is a performance sock and not a medical grade compression sock, but it's intended for long-term wear. It doesn't constrict circulation.
This is a developmental version; look for an all Black version in Jan 18.

This is XGO's new Phase 4 DWR Treated Vest. It's made from their heavyweight Phase 4, 8 oz fabric (86% poly / 14% Spandex) with a brushed fleece inner face.
The vest itself has a zipper garage at the neck line, dual handwarmer slash pockets and a zippered chest pocket. Additionally, there are two interior stowage pockets.
It's available in MultiCam or Black.

Let’s see what’s inside.
CLEVELAND – Team Wendy will be unveiling the new M-216 Ski Search & Rescue Helmet during this week’s Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City, UT. The M-216 is not your average ski helmet; it provides mounting capabilities not previously available to rescue operators in any ski or snow rated helmet. Utilizing features originally developed for the military and tactical community, the helmet provides side accessory rails for mounting a variety of lights and cameras, and a glass-reinforced polycarbonate shroud for attaching headlamps, cameras, or even night optics devices such as thermal sights. Every helmet features a Princeton Tec® task light (choice of MPLS Point or Switch), designed to seamlessly integrate with the accessory rail. Included Picatinny Quick Release Rail Adapters allow tool free removal and attachment of any other standard Picatinny mountable accessories. An open area on the crown allows for mounting of cameras and beacon lights, including the MOHOC® military-optimized camera, and Core Survival HEL-STAR® 6 multi-function. The helmet has also been optimized for comfort and stability featuring a customized Boa® Closure System to provide precise fit adjustment with single handed quick release, and an under the chin retention strap with Fidlock® magnetic buckle for one handed operation even when wearing gloves.
The protection offered by the M-216 includes the requirements of ASTM F2040-17 for recreational snow sports and BS EN 1077: 2007 Class B for alpine skiing and snowboarding.
If you are attending Outdoor Retailer Summer Market be sure to stop by our booth #BR336 and register to win your very own M-216 Ski Search & Rescue Helmet.
