There is no new LEAF news that we can share but we thought we’d show you guys a few items for Spring 14.

The new RD Dump Pouch is designed to hold up to 6 5.56 30 round mags or 3 7.62 20 round mags, but thanks to the Tweave construction you can fit more in there.
Notice the guides. They are meant to help the shooter ensure he hits the mouth of the dump pouch. The mouth also incorporates elastic to ensure the mags stay inside the pouch.
The big story at XGO is FR stretch. They are made from a Rayon-Modacrylic-Lycra blend for compression.
Offered in Short Sleeve T, Long Sleeve T and Watch Cap.
Available in Spring 2014.

Sierra Designs has introduced three new bags that integrate the DryDown we wrote about last year. None of the three are traditional sleeping bag designs. Everything they’ve done is better and different.
The Backcountry Quilt is a large, generously cut blanket that features a foot box and is worn like a Sniuggie. Offered in 15 Deg models.
The Backcountry Bed features NO zippers. It features a large oval shaped opening with a quilt to cover the opening. Offered in 15 and 30 Deg models.
The Mobile Mummy offers a hood and arm holes. Additionally the skirt can be pulled up so you can walk around. Offered in 15 and 30 Deg models.
Stanley doesn’t want us to show you any of their new products. In fact, they were pretty rude about the whole thing.
Next month, BioLite will officially launch the KettlePot but you’re getting a sneak peek thanks to Outdoor Retailer. Unlike other pots on the market, the BioLite KettlePot is made from Stainless Steel but they’ve developed a process to stretch it to be super thin so it will heat more quickly. Additionally, it can be used as a kettle or pot.
It includes a BPA-free top and cool-touch silicone handles. What I really like about it, the KettlePot cradles the BioLite stove for storage and transport.
The new Guide Tennie Mid incorporates the Stealth Outsole and incorporates a deeper tread than the original Guide Tennie. It offers a higher heal counter and offers a full rubber rand at the toe.
Available mid-February in Tan and Grey.
The low models will be offered in Leather or Canvas.
Additionally, the Water Tennie Mid is now available in Blue as well as Grey. They’ve Lao introduced for the first time a thong. The Flip Off incorporates the stealth MI6 rubber sole.
