Powertraveller, Granite Gear, OTE Announce Industry Strategic Partnership

Friday, September 7th, 2012

OTE informed us that they have teamed with Granite Gear here in the USA to design and develop solar and portable power carrying cases and deployment solutions to accommodate Powertraveller products for the outdoor and tactical markets.

Powertraveller CEO and former Royal Marine Commando Jerry Ranger could not be more pleased to work with Granite Gear and OTE to develop and design the next generation of both civilian and tactical cases. “This partnership will only provide more options for the soldier or adventurer who need power solutions on the battlefield or on the mountains and peaks of the world.” He went on to mention, “Since the CEO of OTE comes from the Naval Special Warfare community, it is a pleasure to work together with a team of folks who understand what soldiers and adventurers need to complete their mission safely.”

Powertraveller products are available in 41 countries around the world as well as through numerous retailers here in the USA to include REI, Eastern Mountains Sports, and Cabelas. For you military folks, feel free to stop by Extreme Outfitters at Camp Lejeune or FT Benning and of course GSS Supply in Virginia Beach to see the entire offering of products. I know both Rob and Steve’s staff will gladly assist you! Powertraveller, OTE and Granite Gear told us that they would like to thank the hundreds of military folks worldwide who have helped in the development of these products and carrying solutions.

OR Part III

Gerber Legendary Blades

Gerber was handing out samples of their “new” Shard which closely resembles the Artifact but without the blade. Also, “new” is a relative term as they have been handing out samples at several shows over the last year but are just now releasing it to the market. Gerber claims it is airport friendly and I put that to the test. On my flight out of Salt lake City I put it in the bin with my other pocket litter and it went through security just fine. A simple pocket accessory, it features a bottle opener, nail puller, and phillips head.

Sea to Summit

While most products being shown at OR won’t be available until January 2010 at the earliest, there are a variety of products you can get now. One example is the Alpha utensil set from Sea to Summit. A more economical alternative to titanium flatware, the Knife, Fork and Spoon set is made from hard anodized 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum alloy in a smooth matte finish and comes with a mini carabiner to hold it all together. The individual utensils have hexagonal holes cut out of the handle to reduce weight which provide three different size hex wrenches (3 mm, 4 mm & 5 mm). Available from Sea to Summit.

Feelmax

A lightweight, conformal design with puncture resistant soles make this Finnish footwear a show in for use in wet environments although several athletes have been conquering marathon events in the shoes. The Panka (seen below) in men’s and women’s sizes as well as the men’s Niesa both feature a lace up design, heel strap to assist with donning and a removable liner for drying.

Feelmax footwear will be available soon through OTE.

Craghoppers

Based on the popularity of the television show Man vs Wild starring Bear Grylls, British outdoor clothier Craghoppers developed a clothing line a couple of years back. Earlier this year, they conducted a direct marketing campaign for fans which laid the groundwork for the release of the 2010 line here in the US and Craghoppers’ first time exhibiting at OR.
