Gather ‘round the campfire OUTDOOR RETAILER IS always abuzz with activity, and I can’t help but reflect on the role the show plays in our industry. There are many perspectives to consider: exhibiting brands, retailers, sales representatives, athletes, suppliers and media, to name a few. They are the warp and weft that we recognize as our community. Together we have created a dynamic that is unique, giving us a place in the hearts of the American consumer, and cultivating a place for our community to gather: a campsite with a welcoming campfire to rally around.

Outdoor Retailer has stories to tell, ideas to share and adventures to plan. Brand stories and tales of new products are happening all over the show floor from both new and veteran exhibitors. We welcome back our legacy and cornerstone brands and look to celebrate those that are joining the outdoor industry family as they bring innovative new gear to the market, adding to the tapestry of the industry.

Specialty retailers continue to be the foundation of the Outdoor Retailer jamboree.

They provide enthusiasts, adventurers and everyday lovers of the outdoors access to products that make their explorations safe, fun and fashionable. This gathering gives us the opportunity to show our appreciation to this

vital group for their important contribution to the community. We welcome retailers to visit the Retailer Lounge. Joe Bustos and Kimberly Aguilar, our Retail Relations team, will be there to provide guidance and support. They are your personal camp trail guides, there to help you navigate the show floor, discover the new, find networking opportunities and direct you to the education sessions at The Camp on the show floor, at Venture Out or at OU@OR. The outdoor community also encompasses sales representatives, athletes, suppliers, media and more, all gathered around to find new opportunities, share stories, meet new friends and build relationships. All are invited at the end of Day 1 to join us at the Industry Party to raise a glass and toast this evergrowing tribe of contributors.

The Outdoor Retailer team looks forward to seeing you at Summer Market. As we hike toward the show, we are busy making plans and mapping out our trip. We encourage you to take time to appreciate and celebrate our matchless industry. Thank you for your involvement and contributions. We will bring the marshmallows and beer … you bring the stories!

NEWS SUSTAINABILITY

Not Green Enough

The search for an eco-friendly DWR continues to bedevil the outdoor industry. BY ELIZABETH MILLER Chemical company Sciessent has also developed a PFC-free water repellency they’re calling Curb.

Their alternative works like a waxy finish that maintains a nice handfeel, says CEO Paul Ford. Brands have been testing it out, and it has just been picked up by Cosmo Fabric, a technical textile supplier that works with some of the industry's major players.

Apparel brand Nau will launch a PFC-free DWR in their spring 2017 line, some of which will come from DuPont spinoff Chemours, that promises a performance level comparable to the C6 chemistries currently in use—at least, eventually. Chemours's Teflon EcoElite uses a plant-based formula.

“Given that it is a relatively new chemistry in the market in terms of durable water repellency, I think it will evolve and improve,” said Mary Jane Murphy, director of textiles and sustainability for Nau.

REVOLUTIONARY APPROACHES TO STAYING DRY

SEARCHING FOR A BETTER SOLUTION

Nikwax founder Nick Brown launched his company as PFC-free from the start. But while Nikwax has long specialized in water-based after-care products, it’s now developing chemistry for initial applications. Its sister company, Páramo, has offered PFCfree outerwear since 1992.

Páramo’s approach to waterproofing mimics the washing-machine process Nikwax users undertake at home: treating a finished garment to increase water repellency. But such treatments affect different fabrics differently, and garments made with membranes and taped seams absorb them unevenly (Páramo’s apparel doesn’t use membranes).

12

The trick is finding a DWR replacement that doesn’t also compromise the quality of the gear or shorten its lifespan. Part of the problem is that C8 chemistries provide both water and oil repellency, a performance trait that alternatives have struggled to match. Shedding dirt and body oil is key to maintaining effectiveness—dirty gear doesn’t stay as dry.

“Moving from C8 to C6 chemistry was absolutely the right thing to do—in fact, moving to PFC-free chemistry is the right thing to do on DWRs, and it’s what we’re working towards—but we’ve recognized performance limitations,” said Robert Fry, global director of product merchandising and design for Mountain Hardwear, which currently uses C6 DWR. Last year Patagonia invested $1 million in chemical startup company Beyond Surface Technologies in hopes of securing a PFC-free option. So far, they’re still committed to using C6. “We do have a [PFC-free] DWR on hand, but we want to come up with a higher-performing second generation to offer a better or, ideally, true alternative to PFC-based products,” Matthias Foessel, CEO of Beyond Surface Technologies, said in an emailed statement.

Any solution might require consumers to adjust their expectations for waterproof gear. Fjällräven has used a PFC-free, iron-in alternative DWR made from beeswax and paraffin on its polyester/cotton fabric since the brand launched, and in fall 2015 added the PFC-free hardshell fabric Eco-Shell, which needs to be re-treated every five to 10 washes.

“On my old skiwear, water would bead off it like a brand-new car,” said Nathan Dopp, president of Fjällräven North America. But while Eco-Shell still repels water, it doesn’t bead the same way. “The consumer doesn’t think it’s still waterproof, so it’s going to be an education process,” Dopp said.

BETTER LUCK WITH DOWN

Where PFC-free alternatives have seen widespread success and adoption is in creating hydrophobic down. It’s easier for these chemistries, which often mimic the natural lipids (fats) ducks and geese produce to stay dry and afloat, to bond to feathers than to nylon or polyester. That’s the idea behind Sustainable Down Source’s DownTek’s Zero PFC, which uses nano-level lipids one billionth of a meter in size to create water-repellent down. Nikwax has also created Hydrophobic Down, a water-repellent down that relies on a mineral wax elastomer. And Allied Down has committed to being 100 percent PFC-free by 2017 (they’re very close), and has already crafted a paraffin-based treatment, HyperDRY Eco. Still, the race continues for an industry-wide solution, whether that’s a better DWR or a brand-new way of building gear—because in this field, staying inside when it rains is never going to cut it.

Y NOW, THE OUTDOOR INDUSTRY largely agrees: We need to get perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) out of gear. Many companies have dropped the most troubling longchain waterproofing formulas (C8s) for shorterchain alternatives (C6s), which don't persist as long in the environment. But research conducted by and for Greenpeace and the Environmental Working Group suggests the search for less-toxic alternatives must go on. “Short-chain chemistry is not a solution,” said Greenpeace’s Mirjim Kopp. “It’s just replacing one bad chemistry with another.” One concern: Short-chain chemistries are applied in larger quantities, so more chemicals are released into the environment during manufacturing and over products’ lifespans.

“We don’t have the same body of safety testing for these replacements, and some of the testing we do have indicates they share some of the same concerns about biotoxicity,” agreed David Andrews, a senior scientist with the Environmental Working Group.

But perhaps tweaking chemical formulas isn’t the right approach at all—some argue that solving the PFC puzzle will require totally reinventing the approach to waterproofing garments. Gore’s Active Shell with Permanent Beading Surface and Columbia’s OutDry Extreme, which both invert the approach to membranes and fabric, may be early examples of the kinds of innovations companies need. Columbia’s latest version, OutDry Extreme ECO, layers a wicking fabric made from recycled plastic bottles with an outer membrane that provides waterproofing and eliminates the need for PFC-based water repellency.

“The main problem with how the industry is looking at this issue is that they’re trying to iterate on an old-fashioned design,” said Scott Trepanier, director of communications for Columbia. “They take this three-layer model of construction and they’re trying to make it better and better and better, but that fundamental construction technique has its limitations. If we’re having issues with DWR, let’s not just rethink DWR, let’s rethink how jackets are built.”

NEWS OIA UPDATE

Stand Up. Be Counted.

We’re In This Together.

A candid conversation with Outdoor Industry Association Executive Director Amy Roberts and OIA Board Chair Gordon Seabury on collaboration, political clout and the industry’s future

GORDON SEABURY The industry is going through such substantial change—whether it’s technology or the Millennial generation’s purchasing power to buy experiences and not stuff. Our association is at a crossroads: We either seize the opportunity to make a positive impact or we miss our chance.

AMY ROBERTS It’s clear the marketplace is going to do what it’s going to do, and OIA has an opportunity to focus on the things that individual companies can’t do for themselves because they either don’t have the scale, they don’t have the capacity or they can’t dedicate resources to areas like government affairs. We want OIA to be known for promoting the outdoor industry as a vibrant and real part of the U.S. economy. We want lawmakers to see that an investment in outdoor recreation will generate returns.

GS Certainly Sally Jewell’s recent announcement—that for the first time,

14

the U.S. government is going to officially count outdoor recreation in the GDP—is a testament to how valuable our voice in DC has become.

And another thing I’ll say about this year’s DC visit is how nice it was to see the collaborative approach we took with Outdoor Alliance and Conservation Alliance to bring a unified message to the Hill. I’ve heard people say that in the 21st century, the true competitive advantage is collaboration. Outdoor Industry Association is a powerful convener.

things like water repellency, or how do you increase organic cotton use in the industry or move toward more recycled materials?

GS We’ve recently heard inspiring stories around urban renewal, whether it’s Chattanooga or Duluth, which invested heavily to revitalize its old industrial neighborhoods and abandoned quarry with new parks and recreation infrastructure. Both cities are examples of what can be done at the local level … where a lot of the funding for parks and other initiatives and infrastructure can be put to good use.

AR Speaking of that, our industry’s sustainability efforts are a model for how businesses can succeed through collaboration to make scaled change.

In 2008, the industry—actually a group outside of OIA—started to develop the original supply chain tools.

Outdoor Industry Association became the facilitator of that sustainability work, and it was a recognition that collaboration could do more to move the needle than companies could do on their own. Our industry is being noticed by a lot of bigger players in fast fashion and major big-box retail.

Transparency is something that Millennials are definitely looking at, so it’s our opportunity to figure out some of the challenging issues around

AR But I don’t think we can talk about where people are playing without also talking about who those people are. We’ve seen a big change in demographics, and OIA is focusing on participation. How do we increase it?

How do we target the college market?

How do we expand our own definition of outdoor recreation to include more urban activities or trail-to-tavern type experiences? That’s a cornerstone of the Outdoor Foundation’s work, but how do we tie it back to the industry?

GS For the first time since I’ve been involved with OIA, we’re doing strategic planning to make sure there’s a clear alignment and strategy between

OIA and Outdoor Foundation. Again, that's an example of the power of collaboration as well as the influence we have in DC. The Obama administration is fully aware of the work that OIA has done to promote youth participation and inclusion. We're trying to figure out, even within our own board, how to get more diverse voices so we can understand how to speak to a much larger audience than the industry may have reached in the past.

AR You know what’s cool? With Parks4Kids, we’re crowdsourcing funding, calling on individuals—not just companies, as we’ve done in the past—to go online, pick an elementary school in their area and donate to get 4th graders out into the parks. That’s a big change— talking to and motivating individual members. I hope that you’re going to buy a Parks4Kids badge at the OR show to support the program.

GS You bet I am. I already talked to my team; we’re doing a little bit of research to find out what schools and organizations in our area are the right ones to get behind. The Foundation’s Outdoor Nation Campus Challenge is, in my mind, just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what we can do with getting the college community involved by connecting them to local retail and to the outdoor clubs so they can start to become and feel like a part of the broader outdoor industry.

As Gordon mentioned, specialty retail is yet another example of OIA’s collaborative efforts. In order to ensure our business community continues to make headway, we’re partnering with Grassroots Outdoor Alliance and Outdoor Retailer to leverage their knowhow and expertise through our RISE program at ORSM. And speaking of the upcoming Summer Market, I hope you’ll come to OIA’s Industry Breakfast on Day 1 and stop by our booth (#BRL200) during the show to join this ongoing dialogue.

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling bullish that our impact as an industry is being heard. When I stepped into this role nine months ago, the work that OIA had done to position the outdoor industry as a thought leader and change-maker was coming into sharp focus. And this past April, during our annual Capitol Summit in Washington, DC, we heard—definitively—that the outdoor industry “has arrived.”

My charge as executive director is to sustain the momentum and to continue growing our industry’s influence by focusing on three pillars: policy, sustainable business and participation.

I want to give you a glimpse into the constant dialogue we have in and around the OIA offices and between myself and the board. The conversation below is excerpted from a recent chat between me and OIA Board Chair and Toad&Co CEO Gordon Seabury about the past and future of OIA and the outdoor recreation industry. —Amy Roberts

Now is the Time for Bears Ears National Monument

M

ORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO, when signing the groundbreaking Wilderness Act, President Lyndon Johnson said: “If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.”

There is perhaps no unprotected landscape in the Lower 48 that better represents what Johnson meant than the culturally rich, breathtaking and inspiring Bears Ears region of southern Utah.

Its nearly 1.9 million acres of public lands—partly managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service—are relatively untouched by the extractive industry, much as they were thousands of years ago. This is an environment that challenges the imagination, nourishes the soul, reawakens our spirituality and sustains many cultures.

Bears Ears is an unparalleled asset that draws visitors from around the globe, and it must be cared for and sustained. The area contains some of our finest canyon country climbing, hiking, backpacking, canyoneering and river running.

In the past few years, Utah has enjoyed some of the country’s highest population and economic growth. People come to Utah to experience its history and to delight in the outdoor opportunities in such pristine areas.

Our national parks are seeing unprecedented growth and crowding, and we need more than ever to protect the last pristine landscapes for society.

use affects both the natural scenery and archaeological and cultural sites. The threat of massive, multifaceted energy development is imminent. In the recent Utah legislative session, energy development was declared the “highest and best use” of Cedar Mesa, the center of Bears Ears.

The region enjoys broad support for protection, from local Navajo chapter houses, to 25 Native American tribal governments throughout the Southwest, to a majority of Utah residents (based on two recent independent polls). But Utah's leaders oppose making the area a national park or monument.

For the outdoor industry, protecting and stewarding our country’s remaining wild, iconic landscapes is integral to our industry’s vibrant economic future.

Unfortunately, Utah’s political leadership continues to look backwards with a near-singular focus on extractive industries. They fail to understand that the state’s protected landscapes are why the outdoor industry and tourism have boomed in Utah, becoming one of the state’s top economic sectors.

It is disheartening to see Utah’s elected leaders’ failure to show respect to the tribal nations and Peter Metcalf on a desert the Native American communities in the state and tower just outside the Bears Ears region. adjacent regions who are calling for the protection of Bears Ears.

What hasn’t changed is the Outsiders Ball’s goal of supporting 100 youth outdoor projects nationwide. OF hopes to raise at least $300,000 to fund this year’s group of nonprofits. Past balls have supported a total of 551 projects, reaching 117,141 young people through programs like Little Bellas (which introduces preteen girls to mountain biking), City Kids Wilderness Project (which takes teens from low-income families on backcountry trips), and the Grand Teton National Park Foundation’s Youth Conservation Program.

Wanna Buy a National Park?

A NPS proposal to allow corporate naming rights has some fearing the slippery slope—and others seeing inevitability.

S

HAKEN BY BUDGET shortfalls and a $12 billion maintenance backlog, the National Park Service is seeking to unlock a funding technique that sports franchises have been using for years: selling naming rights.

In professional sports, organizations buy the right to put their name and logo on a stadium or arena to increase public awareness and brand recognition, and to tie them to a beloved sports franchise (you need only walk down the street in Salt Lake City to Vivint Smart Home Arena, home of the Utah Jazz, to see one example). But don’t get too spooked about the possibility of McDonalds painting Double Arch yellow, or Apple claiming Half Dome. Not yet, anyway.

In late March, the NPS released an updated donor recognition policy that, if approved, would open the parks to branded benches and (possibly) NASCARstyle ranger vehicles. Current agency guidelines restrict in-park recognition to low-key places, such as logo-free donor walls in visitor centers.

The proposed revisions caused immediate concern from some of the public, and, as of press time, an online petition condemning the proposal had garnered more than 150,000 signatures.

The outdoor industry seems less settled on the matter, with some folks in support of the theory

Big Agnes, via email. “We’re not interested in seeing branded benches near Old Faithful, and Big Agnes isn’t interested in being a part of the program. What’s next? A bake sale?”

Peter Dering, founder and president of outdoororiented camera-bag maker Peak Design, thinks there’s a way to do such a proposal right.

“Would it be bad if there was a giant neon sign that said Yosemite: Brought to you by Budweiser?” he asked. “Of course it would.

But if you sat on a bench that said ‘Donated by the generosity of Budweiser,’ that seems reasonable, doesn’t it?”

But everyone does seem to agree that the park system’s lack of funding may represent a much more existential threat to the places we love.

“What’s at stake is not the commercialization of our National Park System,” said Rob BonDurant, vice president of product line and marketing for Osprey Packs, emphasizing that he was not speaking on behalf of the company. “What is at stake is [the] environmental health of the NPS. We are literally loving our parks to death.”

BLURRED LINES

It’s getting harder to tell trail clothes from everyday wear as brands prioritize style and function. BY COURTNEY HOLDEN HONE IN ON the lifestyle brands at Outdoor Retailer this summer and you’re sure to spot airy dresses, flowing tops and an assortment of tailored button-downs. But don’t be fooled: Beneath that stylish exterior lies a host of technical features, from moisture-wicking and antimicrobial properties to superior stretch and even built-in bug repellent. “[The outdoor lifestyle] is clearly influencing the look and [driving] the inspiration behind a lot of outfits,” said Ibex’s Vice President of Product James Fisher.

“You want to look like at any given moment you could

bang out a plank or jump on a stand-up paddleboard.”

The athleisure movement remains in full swing.

(Need proof? Just look at the stylish yet spandexladen outfits that are easy to spot in coffee shops everywhere.) “Athleisure is about going from hanging out at home to working out to being out in the world,” said Karuna Scheinfeld, vice president of design/creative director for Woolrich.

Natural fibers like wool and cotton are also in high demand for their soft feel and non-techy look. And more brands are offering garments with an eco story

(organic cotton, Bluesign certification), a trend driven in part by conscious consumers: “People are realizing that our world is worth taking care of, and they’re willing to put their money where their mouths are,” said Meghan Palmer, United by Blue product designer.

Another factor in this movement: Responsibly sourced fabrics are now more readily available—even when buying in small batches—and prices are dropping. “The barriers to entry now are lower, so why not take advantage of it?” said Kate Larramendy, director of design and sustainability with Toad&Co.

The women’s A2B Blazer (MSRP $449) from Arc’teryx hides three-layer Gore-Tex with C-Knit backer technology, which boosts softness and breathability, behind a professional-looking exterior. Reflective swatches on the neck and cuffs keep you safe on your commute, but fold away when you hit the board meeting.

2. The men’s Merino 150 Henley (MSRP $95) from Smartwool is the essence of laid-back

3. Evenings at high elevation typically mean a dip in temps, but that’s no problem when the women’s Athena Wrap Top (MSRP $65) from Outdoor Research is on hand. Built with DriRelease cotton with Freshguard odor control,

the piece oozes high-tech comfort. Merrow stitching (a particularly uniform kind of stitch) allows for a stronger, stretchier seam, while also adding a pop of color.

4. Lightweight, luxuriously soft and eco-friendly? The cotton/ hemp Southridge Short Sleeve Shirt for men by Columbia (MSRP $50-55) hits all three criteria. Traditional buttondown styling and breast pockets make this a perfect trail-to-town piece.

5. Flylow’s Bailey Leggings for women (MSRP $75) make their way effortlessly through sun salutations, but look great when paired with a favorite tunic for an afternoon coffee date. Two thigh pockets provide a place to stash must-haves like cell phones and wallets.

6. One pant that does it all? Yes, please! Mountain Hardwear’s AP Scrambler (MSRP $85) for women is built for biking, bouldering and bumming around

town. Performance stretch capabilities enable a wide range of motion, while details like cutouts on the elastic trim add a touch of feminine flair.

7. Made from quick-drying, 100-percent-recycled polyester, the men’s Stretch Hydro Planing Board Short (MSRP $89) from Patagonia works for both land and water wear. With two-way mechanical stretch and a DWR finish, these boardies are light, comfy and durable.

Slingsby Ultra Jacket (MSRP $239), which features Ecodear—a 30-percent plantbased polyester fabric—on the front, arms and hood. The inlay on the back is a recycled polyester wool blend, made by Repreve, which upcycles plastic bottles into new goods. Bergans also requires the mills that produce Repreve to source the bottles locally.

3. Expanding its line of trail running tops, Mammut releases the MTR 71 Advanced T-Shirt (MSRP $55) built with Polartec Power Dry fabric featuring two differently sized fibers that operate together to

pull sweat off the body, then dissipate it, for better moisture management.

An antimicrobial treatment helps fight odors, and the shirt touts a UPF 50-plus rating for sun protection.

4. Stonewear Designs releases a comfy ladies’ climbing short—dubbed the Dynamic Shorts—with UPF 50-plus sun protection, made of lightweight stretchwoven fabric, harness-compatible (gusseted crotch intact) and featuring a chalk brush holder (MSRP $95).

5. Montane introduces the hybridized

Fusion Alpha Jacket (MSRP $219). The latest Pertex Quantum CS-10 fabric adds windproof zones around the core and on the shoulders; the shell also has breathable areas (developed using thermal imaging data) for alpine climbing and play.

6. Outdoor Research debuts the men’s Helium Hybrid Hooded Jacket (MSRP $145) with breathable softshell panels beneath the arms instead of pit zips and the waterproof/breathable fabric of the current Helium Jacket everywhere else. The result? A non-sweat-to-death experience that blocks out wind and rain.

NO GETTING AROUND IT: Playing outside means exposing your skin to the sun. But as the public’s concern about the dangers of solar radiation has grown— along with the realization that sunblock alone doesn’t always cut it—the desire for sun-protective clothing has heated up to match. Some brands are introducing fabric with UPF sun protection to apparel designs for the first time, while previously sun-savvy companies are expanding existing lines or highlighting their UV-busting bona fides.

“Let’s face it—the more time you spend on the mountain, trail, or water, the more you are at risk,” said Joanna Tomasino, Mammut sports group category manager of softgoods and footwear. “Over the last several years, our society has paid more attention to climate change and skin cancer, which has had an impact on companies and suppliers in terms of product development.”

Also, people are “tired of applying and reapplying messy lotions and creams,” said Andy Nordhoff, public relations manager at Columbia. That makes a built-in apparel solution even more attractive.

In other trends: Consumers no longer have to choose between light weight and toughness in their apparel. “In the past, there was a huge gap between light and durable,” said Byron McCann, marketing manager of Bergans of Norway. The gap has tightened, he said, pointing to Pertex Quantum fabric, a 70-denier ripstop nylon that’s windproof and water-repellent, yet airy-feeling.

Do-it-all pieces are also popular. “Versatility and hybrids are trending in fabrics,” said Christine Westermark, category managing director of mountain for Helly Hansen.

“Consumers are increasingly looking for products that meet a variety of uses, so they don’t have to buy a special product for each activity. This makes sense, particularly for increasingly time-crunched people who want to spend some time outdoors, but can’t afford to become an expert.”

Brands are responding with stylish, three-season pieces that work as well for alpine hikes and bike rides as they do for the pub.

high-grip Continental outsoles and a sock liner construction for a soft, comfortable fit that also seals out debris.

In hiking, adidas designed a unique air channel system in the footbed to pair with GoreTex Surround technology to achieve maximum ventilation in the Terrex Fast GTX Surround (MSRP $225).

5. In the ankle-high T Aegility (MSRP $129), Mammut debuts

its 3D knitted technology. This allows designers to create the shoe’s exterior from one piece of fabric with zones of varying breathability, stiffness, abrasion resistance and shape.

The bonus of going 3D? The design is lightweight and sans seams, which reduces the risk of blisters and increases comfort. The new sole has triangular lugs made with two rubber compounds for extra grip and durability.

THIS YEAR BRINGS lots of crossbreeding among once discrete footwear categories. Athletic designs are showing up in work boots and trail runners get some of their DNA from approach shoes. The result of all this inter-species canoodling? Footwear that supports long days on the trail, on the job or on the prowl for happy hour.

These days, “People are riding their bikes to the base of a mountain, running up the trail, going into the backcountry, climbing something and then riding their bikes out,” said Greg Thomsen, managing director of adidas Outdoor USA. For the most part, these multisport maniacs don’t want to haul more than one pair of shoes along while they’re at it (the exception is climbers, who may want separate shoes for approach and climbing). Brands are answering the call with versatile designs that can handle a day packed with several activities.

Why so much multitasking these days? Thomsen named several factors: One, more indoor climbing athletes are taking their fitness outside. With a strong physical foundation, they tend to be faster and stronger than the typical outdoorsperson, he said. And squeezing multiple activities into a day also helps people avoid lining up overnight permits, which requires time and money.

But just because adventurers need footwear suited to tackling big outdoor objectives doesn’t mean they want an overtly techy look. “Consumers are looking for lightweight hikers that can perform on the hiking trail and yet look stylish and comfortable enough to wear day in and day out,” said Mammut North America’s Softgoods Category Manager Joanna Tomasino.

“Which suggests that multipurpose shoes that are suited for adventure and everyday use are on the rise.”

That desire makes breathability in footwear even more important, she added—because no one wants smelly feet at the office.

4. Big Agnes hits a new sweet spot of price and performance with its Van Camp SL2 (MSRP $300). This 28-square-foot backpacking shelter sleeps two, and weighs 4 pounds, 7 ounces, but still comes in $100 less than the brand’s other superlights. Its no-

nonsense looks won’t generate features buzz, but will tempt frugal weight-watchers who previously sat on their wallets.

5. Campers and hunters alike can use NEMO’s Dark Timber wall tents (MSRP $500) as a basecamp or a town hall. At just under 15 pounds, this two-door shelter provides 69 square feet of floor space, plus an overhanging tarp that acts as a roof and waterproof walls. The upper portions of the side walls (located under the overhanging tarp) allow heat to escape, reducing condensation problems. Despite its size, the

tent is designed for easy oneperson setup.

6. Mountainsmith upgrades its feature-rich and affordable freestanding shelter with the Morrison 2 Evo (MSRP $200). The remodeling creates more head- and elbowroom by adding a brow pole and a roomier vestibule. New touches include reflective stake points, rain flaps on the fly windows, more storage space, and an included footprint. Rugged (68-denier polyester) and roomy (36 square feet), the shelter is targeted to car campers.

COMFORT IS KING 2

1. Therm-a-Rest’s new Questar (MSRP $250 in regular) offers threeseason comfort in a 650-fill Nikwax Hydrophobic Down bag. “We’ve seen a greater acceptance of duck down in bags,” said Therm-a-Rest’s Jim Giblin.

“With 650-plus-fill duck down, we’re able to hit a better price point while not sacrificing too much warmth and weight.” It features zoned insulation, is rated to 20°F and comes in three sizes.

2. Kammok’s new Thylacine (MSRP $329) is a customizable 30°F, 750-fill DownTek “base” sleeping bag that you can adapt to a variety of environments and conditions by sliding in two additional insulated liners. Add one liner to take the bag from summer duty to down to 15°F (MSRP $199). Then add another (MSRP $99) to push the bag into winter service, all the way down to 0°F (liners sold separately).

MORE THAN EVER, today’s campers want spending a night under the stars to feel as comfortable as sleeping in their own beds. Brands are answering with lighter, loftier designs and by looking beyond the standard mummy to blanket-style and rectangular bags once reserved for car campers.

Brands and suppliers say today’s lower down prices—a result of several complex factors, from weather patterns to global economic trends— make higher-performing, more packable bags more affordable. “This has taken a bite out of synthetic sales,” said Big Agnes co-founder Bill Gamber. “Especially with water-resistant down now the standard.”

“From a style standpoint, we’ve seen a wider adoption of quilts and other non-traditional sleep designs,” said Jim Giblin, category director for tents and sleeping bags at Therm-a-Rest. “Our new designs are generally zipperless and less restrictive, allowing you to roll around in your insulation, rather than rolling around with your insulation.”

“Comfort continues to be really important,” Gamber agreed. “Some designs that we originally made for car camping, like our Park Series, are working their way into backpacking. Now we have extrawide bags that are still light enough to backpack with.”

Light weight also remains an important goal, but not at the expense of long-lasting toughness. “The consumer has always been looking for lighter-weight, more-compressible bags,” said Dan Rogers, product manager of technical equipment at The North Face.

“In the tradeoff between light weight and durability, we’re using new materials and new constructions that give us a blend of both.”

Campers are also more concerned about sustainability, looking for features like PFC-free hydrophobic treatments and ethically plucked feathers.

“There’s a greater demand for down that adheres to RDS (Responsible Down Standard) guidelines,” Giblin said.

3. Big Agnes’s Thunderhead SL 30 (MSRP $250) features 650-fill DownTek in a weight-cutting, zipperless design with a wrapping quilt top that tucks into the side of the bag. There’s also an oversized draft collar and a half pad sleeve to help keep the bag in place.

4. The North Face is releasing two new bags in its Hyper series for the ouncecounting sleeping bag customer. The

800-fill Hyper Kazoo (MSRP $369) is the first bag to use the brand’s FuseForm construction technology, which reduces both the amount of stitching and fabric waste during production. And the Hyper Cat (MSRP $249) introduces a blend of cut staple and continuous filament synthetic insulation, with the lesscompressible insulation layered on the bottom of the bag to eliminate cold spots and prolong the bag’s life.

Chris Ritchie, Thule’s PR and communication manager, said integrating technology into packs is more important than ever. “Brands are adding things like solar panels to their packs, and while it may come across as gimmicky at first, it’s a feature that has staying power,” he said. “Just like a new trend or technology dictating a product line’s needs, we as manufacturers need to evolve with what the consumer is asking for.

It also features long-item carry on the outside, compression straps and lots of attachment points.

As gym climbers move out to the rock, brands follow with safe, lightweight, beginner designs.

5 1. Petzl adds anti-panic technology to its lineup with the Grigri+ (MSRP $150). When users yank too hard on the handle, the automatic brake arrests the rope. That helps in case of emergencies and also lets beginner belayers dial in the right lowering speed.

2. With the Ohm (MSRP $130), Edelrid evens out the size differential between a heavyweight climber and featherweight belayer, which can create a safety issue.

32

Dubbed the first “assistedbreaking resister,” the device is installed like a quickdraw at the first bolt and increases rope friction only in the event of a fall. The significance? Climbers can now safely belay partners who are up to twice their weight. And the new Bulletproof (MSRPs $14-$30, pictured), the first-ever hybrid aluminumsteel carabiner, increases the company’s eco-friendly cred: Steel is more durable, so climbers can use it longer than a full-aluminum model. A

strategically-placed steel plate reduces wear and tear from the rope over time.

3. Made specifically for indoor use, the new Steel Live Wire GymDraw (MSRP TBD) from Black Diamond combines the existing LiveWire Quickdraw with a polyester gym dogbone (a piece of abrasion-resistant material with loops used to create custom quickdraws) and a durable protective sheath.

The brand also debuts the Gym Solution (MSRP $50), a 30-liter

over-the-shoulder bag that fits a gym-length rope and features one-handed cinch closure and smart interior organization.

4. Five Ten releases the jackof-all trades climbing shoe, the Gambit (MSRP $120), in lace and Velcro options for all-day climbing sessions. The sole is stiff for edging and cracks, and the slingshot heel is relaxed—a combo that makes it technical, comfy and multipurpose.

5. Metolius launches Mini

Tech Footholds (MSRP $30$50, pictured): superthin yet superstrong aluminum holds designed to more closely mimic real-world rock features, which are often much tinier than typical plastic gym holds. Also new from Metolius: low-profile, lightweight Belay Glasses (MSRP $30-$60). These refractive specs let belayers look up without craning their necks, reducing neck strain and fatigue and boosting safety (belayers don’t need to look away from climbers to rest).

IT’S NO SECRET: Everyone from families to professional athletes are hanging out at the climbing gym these days, fueling a boom in indoor climbing and inspiring more and more rookies to try their newfound skills out on the rock.

“There is a massive influx of climbers coming into the sport through gyms,” said Dave Hugar, marketing director for Petzl America. The U.S. commercial indoor climbing industry grew 10 percent over 2014 with a total of 40 new gyms, according to the most recent annual report from Climbing Business Journal.

The profile of a “beginner” has also changed. Three decades ago, novice climbers would follow and clean a more experienced climber’s outdoor route to learn technique, explained Hugar. Now, “after years of training in a managed environment like a gym, these climbers reach the crags with a much greater physical skill set than previous generations, but often have bypassed the technical knowledge that 5.10 climbers learned as they developed their strength and technique,” Hugar said. These new climbers may be accustomed to thinking of safety as a feature built into the wall, not as something they have to manage for themselves.

Gear companies are seeing an opportunity here, innovating new ways to increase safety for beginners and old pros alike. This season, look for gear that accommodates climbers in the low end of the learning curve, plus products that also help teachers and guides, along with the usual ultralightweight designs targeted to endurance athletes spending longs days on the wall.

In other trends, some manufacturers are focusing on building more sustainable products, like integrating steel to replace less-durable aluminum. Such gear is typically heavier but more resilient, and manufacturers are betting that sustainability-minded customers won’t mind the extra weight.

GO WITH THE FLOW

Comfort, ease of use and angler-friendly features are fueling innovation in today’s floatcraft. BY EUGENE BUCHANAN FISH AND REC. Rec and fish. Those are the main categories driving today’s paddlesports world, and manufacturers continue to try to reel in customers with new designs and boat features targeted to these booming markets.

According to research firm The NPD Group, in the 12 months ending in March 2016, sales of sit-on-top and traditional (recreational) single kayaks were up 20 percent and 25 percent, respectively, with anglingspecific kayaks enjoying similar growth.

This year’s boats feature improvements that make paddling easier and more comfortable for newcomers and enthusiasts alike. “We’re continuing to work

hard at making paddling more accessible to everyone,” says Jackson Kayaks Marketing Director James McBeath. This year, Jackson debuts a new kid-sized whitewater kayak as well as user-friendly rec and angling options, with more stable hull shapes and bells and whistles for anglers. “We’re reducing size and weight options for kids, and also growing our line of tandem kayaks,” McBeath said.

In fishing kayaks, cushiness and gadgetry are paramount, with manufacturers realizing no one wants to cramp up while landing a lunker. Comfort remains a cornerstone and builders are ensuring couch-like coziness in their crafts with features like enhanced

padding and seats that adjust up and down as well as fore and aft.

Paddlers are also increasingly looking to take the kids along on their trips. “There’s a marked growth of family interest in rec kayaking,” says Confluence Marketing Director Evan Lyndecker, citing his findings on recent company research panels and touting Confluence’s new Perception Tribe (MSRP $509), a stable, user-friendly sit-on-top, as filling that need. Like rec boats, family-friendly craft include single and tandem kayaks, in both sit-ontop and standard configurations, with an emphasis on stability and tracking.

angling kayak/SUP hybrid that can be used sitting or standing. The i11 comes with two air chambers on each side, a hands-free pedal system and dropstitched center chamber with insertable fin for deep-water tracking.

2. Blending SUPing and kayaking, Wilderness Systems pulls the curtain on its new ATAK (MSRP $1,799), an angling-specific craft with a superstable, “highly walkable” deck for casting and reeling. It also comes loaded to the gills with fishing features, plus a low-profile hull for streamlined paddling, ample storage, a front

console designed for storing electronics and an uber-cushy seat.

3. Brands’ penetration into the SUP sector applies to paddles, too. This year, Aqua-Bound releases the Malta SUP paddle (MSRP $275). Its carbon shaft offers a very high strength-to-weight ratio for maximum stroke efficiency.

The paddle comes in one- and twopiece versions.

4. Jackson Kayaks introduces the Rockstar XS (MSRP $999, pictured), a new kids’ freestyle craft for whitewater.

Similar to the brand’s adult-sized

Rockstar but proportioned for halfpints, the kayak lets smaller paddlers practice surfing and other advanced freestyle moves. The company is also debuting a new tandem rec kayak, the Tripper DT (MSRP TBD), allowing mom or dad to take along the little ones.

5. For rec paddlers and anglers, Pelican unveils the entry-level Catch 120, an 11-foot, 8-inch sit-on-top kayak (MSRP $749). It’s made from tough plastic and comes with a hatch for storage, adjustable footrests, molded paddle holder, deck-mount rod holders, bungee storage and a dual-position seat.

SOCIAL CLIMBING

How to win followers, boost brand awareness and kick your social media plan into high gear. BY JENNA BLUMENFELD STILL THINK SOCIAL MEDIA is just for your college-aged niece? Think again.

Developing a social media strategy is vital, allowing brands to foster a deeper relationship with existing and potential customers.

But before you dive into revamping your social media program, set a clear intention. “You have to decide early on your goals with each platform,” says Charlie Lozner, director of integrated services at Backbone Media. “For one brand, social media may be all about engagement and trying to get likes, comments and shares to grow their audience. Another brand may live and die by e-commerce, and social is more about getting people on their site to purchase their products.”

Another consideration: Appoint someone at your company (or consider hiring someone) to manage social media. Especially if your plan includes content creation (and it should), “Ultimately, somebody needs to be in the driver’s seat,” says Lozner.

Here are four companies who are cultivating highly engaged followers with their innovative strategies, plus expert advice on managing your own platforms.

FACEBOOK

TWITTER

‘BOOK BETTER Consider using Facebook’s paid promotion options for posts about contests, product launches and giveaways. It’s an inexpensive (from $5/day) way to improve impressions.

Host giveaways on Facebook that require contestants to engage with your brand in a meaningful manner, like taking a survey for marketing insights or prompting followers to post comments. Remember: Everyone loves free gear.

NUUN

With 500 million tweets per day, Twitter hosts a massive amount of fast-moving, of-the-minute content: It’s vital to position your tweets so they engage people rather than get lost. Nuun optimizes engagement with posts educate followers on using the brand’s electrolyte tablets (such as Nuun-infused smoothie recipes), giveaways that require a retweet to enter, running tips and product news.

“Photos really help with ‘stickiness’,” adds Emily Smith, community marketing manager. “Research says that tweets have an average life of 20 minutes. If there’s no photo, or there’s a low-quality photo, posts get lost.” Smith says she also capitalizes on industry “holidays” to excite followers.

“We get a lot of retweets by straight-up asking people to retweet, for example, if they are lacing up on National Running Day.” TWEET BETTER Make your tweeting more efficient by scheduling posts with a management program (such as Hootsuite; signup.hootsuite.com).

Because Twitter’s feed moves so fast, a high volume of posts doesn’t turn off audiences like it does on, say, Facebook. Smith recommends posting a minimum of 5 tweets per day, and that “you really can’t tweet enough.”

Tweet after hours. While the most popular time to tweet is from noon to 1 p.m., research shows tweets get the most engagement after work. Schedule extra posts for 7 to 11 p.m.

PINTEREST EVO

Not just for grandma’s recipes and DIY art projects, Seattle’s e-retailer Evo employs Pinterest for optimal online sales. The ski, snowboard, skate, bike and watersports shop curates “boards” as buying guides that include new product descriptions, bike maintenance

36

videos and more. “For us, [Pinterest has] been a really cool way to showcase product people are searching for around bike gear, with some of our richer howto, staff picks, blog inspiration and other deeper content on the site,” says Graham Gephart, director of marketing.

“It’s best to find what people are searching for and participate in that naturally, with useful content, rather than to try to push product.”

UNITED BY BLUE Sustainable apparel brand United By Blue studies the ins and outs of the algorithm that determines which posts are pushed to their follower’s feeds. “[Facebook] strongly discourages brands from posting content that is product- or advertising-driven,” says Kelly Smith, photographer/social media manager. “We’ve found that Facebook is our best platform for talking about our mission,” which centers on ocean protection. Smith often posts images from United By Blue-organized ocean cleanups, plus news about water conservation.

INSTAGRAM BUREO

Instagram is a prime platform to showcase product glamour shots. Sustainable skateboard and sunglasses manufacturer Bureo also uses it to educate consumers on how their products are made (by collecting fishing nets that would otherwise end up as ocean pollution) and to garner enthusiasm for the laid-back, surfer/skateboarder lifestyle. “We use Instagram to tell our story,” says Bureo co-founder David Stover.

Bureo also posts tongue-in-cheek shots for an emotional connection with their audience: a dog wearing shades or a photo taken through a sunglass lens.

‘GRAM BETTER Target your images to what your customers care about. Because Bureo’s consumers are eco-conscious, the brand posts nature shots and info about environmental activism.

Use filters that enhance the brightness and contrast in your photos. Research shows that bright, warm-toned filters like Ludwig or Hefe garner more likes than dulling, cooling filters like Amaro or Reyes.

PIN BETTER Develop boards strategically. Gift guides for holidays like Valentine’s Day and Christmas are especially effective in showcasing gear and clothing.

Always link every post back to your website for improved traffic and product sales.

More than on other platforms, Pinterest users are especially seeking instruction.

Include how-to infographics, videos or actionable tips relating to your brand.

BRAND DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, OUTDOOR RETAILER

for different, if similar, reasons. A great show forms them all together and makes the industry better.

This summer, Outdoor Retailer brought Larry Harrison out of retirement to help develop the relationships that will steer the show into the future. Harrison, former director of sales for adidas Outdoor, has been in the industry for more than 40 years. He has worked with brands such as Eagle Creek, JanSport, Lowa, Rockport, Sierra Designs and Wilderness Experience.

In his newly created position, Harrison will use his extensive experience in the industry to listen to the needs of OR’s varied participants and solve some of the show’s most vexing problems.

WHAT IS YOUR NEW POSITION? My biggest job is to listen to the community in all its dimensions—retailers, reps, brands, manufacturers and suppliers—and determine trends that affect Outdoor Retailer. We want to meet the needs of the entire market. That might range from big changes, like adjusting show dates and reengaging advisory councils, to helping a newly hired rep get a hotel room. I will be meeting with brands and attending regional rep shows to ply my new trade. When

you have spent almost your entire career in our wondrous industry, it’s apparent that no one wants to leave.

We listen and grow, experience and change, yet want to remain a part of the business. I hope the retail, sales, management and board jobs that I have held equip me to understand the positions that many individuals hold, not just the loudest voices.

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING ON? My first job has been getting to know the people at Outdoor Retailer. I’ve been wandering the

offices and I’ve never seen more bike riders, runners and hikers.

Certainly the fight for the shower around here will make you stronger.

I’ve also been learning about what Outdoor Retailer is involved with and what new directions might be worth exploring. The commitment to specialty retail is formidable here—that should be the overriding thought when someone thinks about Outdoor Retailer.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE? World peace [laughs]. Like any group, we have different constituencies. If I’m in apparel, for example, my membrane manufacturer might say that I need to have an extra three months of lead time to make the products that incorporate it. So, I need time to accommodate that. It’s my job to hear that need and help create reasonable answers that benefit the whole community. The trade show is a complex ecosystem. Everyone comes

YOU’VE BEEN TO EVERY OR SHOW. TELL US ABOUT THE EARLY DAYS. I’ve been to 61 shows in total, I think. I was not a fan of the first show, though. I wrote a column for a trade magazine of the time stating that the dates were wrong and Las Vegas was the wrong place. Walking through smoke-filled casinos to get to an appointment seemed wrong.

When the show moved to Reno, the outdoor community really began to develop. Traditions like the infamous JanSport Shake ‘n’ Bake took hold. Because we were together as an extended family, our interconnectedness became apparent and our connection to the natural world became an imperative.

Relationships flourished between all of the stakeholders in the business, who founded nonprofits and developed partnerships with attendees. Brands and retailers were discovered. Advocacy bloomed. The media learned of the story that is the outdoors and rushed to cover it. The Outdoor Retailer show fed this synergy and is an integral part of the wonderful community that developed around it.

HOW DID THEY PULL YOU OUT OF RETIREMENT FOR THIS? At adidas Outdoor I was pleased with what we had accomplished.

There is a superb team there, poised for real growth, and I felt it was time to move on. While I had looked forward to spending a little more time in the redwoods than another office, life had other plans. In talking to a number of old friends, I spoke with one who was concerned about the timing of trade shows. I felt a kinship to the concerns I heard, having experienced it all before. I called Marisa Nicholson, the show’s director, and began a conversation that resulted in this role. I hardly spent a day in retirement and wasn’t connected to it yet. I hadn’t sold my house, I didn’t order my new Sprinter van … I didn’t get my leisure suit.

Warm weather fabrics wick and dry fast, but this form of moisture management doesn’t cool you down in the hottest conditions. Polartec® Delta™ changes this dynamic. Delta™ is a specialized cooling fabric engineered with elevated structures that sit atop the skin to increase breathability and decrease friction. This construction allows heat and moisture to radiate outward, enhancing the body’s natural evaporative cooling ability. The result is lightweight comfort that performs at its best under the sun, in the studio, or at the gym — anywhere the heat is on.

TIME FOR A

State leaders are putting Utah’s recreation economy and local jobs at risk with a plan to take over outdoor spaces that belong to all Americans. To pay for managing those lands, Utah would have to close access and sell America’s public lands to private developers.

The attack on public lands will hurt Utah’s $12 billion outdoor recreation economy and the thousands of jobs it supports.

Utah’s leaders need to make a U-Turn and start respecting public lands—before they drive our recreation economy and jobs off a cliff.

OUTDOOR RETAILER ROAD TRIP

Take the Scenic Route

Good idea: Showing up in Salt Lake for Summer Market. Great idea: Making ORSM the jumping-off point for a classic summer road trip. Pick a direction and finish off your show in style with one of these three weeklong itineraries, all starting and ending at the Salt Palace. BY ELISABETH KWAK-HEFFERAN

Point yourself north and drive straight into the land of bears, moose, bison and wolves on this tour of the northern Rockies.

DAYS 6 MILES 700+

DAYS 1 + 2 Salt Palace to Grand Teton National Park (280 miles) Talk about vertical: The Teton peaks stretch 7,000 feet from the valley floor to their 13,000-foot-plus summits, making for one of the Rockies’ most striking postcard views—and some of the region’s most coveted climbing objectives. Beyond the peaks, you’ll find challenging paddling on the Snake River, miles of prime backpacking trails winding through wildflower-spotted canyons, and habitat for moose, elk, bald eagles and grizzly bears. Top overnight: The 18-mile trip linking Paintbrush and Cascade Canyons. Prefer car camping? Jenny Lake Campground has spectacular views (and the popularity to match), while Lizard Creek Campground is a safe bet for late arrivals.

DAYS 3-5 Grand Teton to Yellowstone National Park (53+ miles) The country’s first national park is like nowhere else on the planet: a bubbling, boiling landscape where grizzlies, black bears, bison and wolves roam among geysers, hot springs, wide rivers and mountains. You could spend weeks here and barely scratch the surface, so focus your exploration: Head to the Lamar and Hayden Valleys for the best wildlife-watching, the Canyon area to see the megacascades of Upper and Lower Falls pouring into Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Old Faithful area for the world’s highest concentration of geothermal features, and Mammoth for unique travertine geothermal sculptures. A thousand miles of trails make backpacking options practically limitless, and 12 park campgrounds (plus nine lodges; try Old Faithful Inn) provide plenty of overnight options.

DAY 6 Yellowstone to Salt Palace (370 miles) Head back south on I-15 to close the loop.

66

Colorado: Rocky Mountain Run

Idaho: Sawtooth Sampler

Skyscraping peaks and a plunging canyon anchor this loop through southwest Colorado.

DAYS 6 MILES 803+

Trade OR crowds for lonely summits on this loop tour through the Teton and Sawtooth Ranges.

DAYS 7 MILES 991

DAY 1 Salt Palace to Colorado National Monument (274 miles) Welcome to cycling country: Mountain bikers flock to Fruita’s slickrock trails, while Rimrock Drive at Colorado NM makes for a classic road route.

DAYS 1 + 2 Salt Palace to Caribou-Targhee National Forest (282 miles) Head north to see the other side of the Tetons; the range’s west side is just as full of mountain splendor, with a fraction of the people. Roam the trails: We like the 11.5-mile out-and-back to Table Mountain for a dayhike. From this area, you can also access the remote southwestern corner of Yellowstone National Park, a region packed with waterfalls and soakable backcountry hot springs. Camp at Teton Canyon Campground.

DAY 2 Colorado National Monument to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park (75 miles) At the world’s deepest narrow canyon (up to 2,722 feet deep and just 40 feet across in places), big-wall climbers tackle advanced routes and anglers vie for a bite in the Gunnison River’s blue-ribbon trout waters. Trails here are very steep and challenging, but those up for the adventure will find solitude camping on the canyon floor.

DAY 3 Black Canyon to Telluride (78 miles) Park yourself in the San Juan Mountains. Telluride is full of restaurants, galleries and lots of options for day adventures. Sunshine Campground in the jointly managed Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests has close-to-town tenting.

DAYS 4 + 5 Telluride to San Juan National Forest (mileage varies) August is prime time in this region of dramatic peaks, abundant wildflowers and sparkling lakes.

Grab a backpack and head into the wilderness.

Chicago Basin is a classic spot, but don’t overlook lesser-visited spots like the Rio Grande Pyramid.

DAYS 3 + 4 Caribou-Targhee to Stanley (268 miles) This adventure-loving mountain town makes the perfect base for your explorations of the Sawtooth, White Cloud and Salmon River Ranges. Check out nearby Redfish Lake or get to know the brandnew Boulder-White Cloud Wilderness, officially protected as wilderness last year. This alpine zone features lakes, the headwaters of important salmonspawning rivers and habitat for black bear and elk.

DAY 5 Stanley to Sun Valley/Ketchum (62 miles) Take a layover day in Sun Valley and Ketchum, a favorite ski destination full of summertime hiking and mountain biking trails, plus live music and, yes, a brewery or two. Try the Pioneer Saloon.

DAY 5 San Juan National Forest to Moab ( 170 miles) It would be criminal not to stop in Moab on your way back, even in high summer. Cool off with a rafting trip in the Colorado or Green Rivers if it’s too hot for hiking or mountain biking.

DAY 6 Sun Valley to Craters of the Moon National Monument (73 miles) Wander the dry, lunar volcanic landscape of this unique park, full of lava fields, caves and cinder cones. The 2-mile Broken Top Loop Trail grants access to Buffalo Cave (permit required to enter).

The park campground is closed this year, so head to the nearby town of Arco for the night.

DAY 6 Moab to SLC (234 miles) Finish up on US 191 north back to Salt Lake.

DAY 7 Craters of the Moon to SLC (306 miles) Close the loop back to town on I-15.

Polygiene Odor Control Technology

“It’s a silver salt fabric treatment that prevents your gear, like the multi-sport R1 Hoody [Patagonia], from stinking so you do not have to wash it as much. That extends the lifespan and shrinks the environmental impact (and simply keeps you from stinking). Triple win.”

— GrindTV by Heather Hansman, March 2016

GOOD FOR THE PLANET · GOOD FOR THE CONSUMER · GOOD FOR YOUR BRAND Polygiene Odor Control Technology is a durable, effective and sustainable textile treatment that uses naturally occurring silver salt to stop the growth of odor-causing bacteria. The result? You can wear more and wash less.

A CLIMATE-SMART APPROACH Up to 2/3 of a garment’s environmental impact occurs during consumer use—Polygiene’s unique odor-control technology allows users to wear garments longer, cutting down on the water and energy use associated with washing and drastically reducing the garment’s carbon footprint.
