From shiny new gear to stylish performance clothing, these drool-worthy items at last week’s Outdoor Retailer had us itching to head for the hills (in a good way).

Let Nikwax Take Care of You

By Susan on January 16, 2012 | Gear Reviews

If you’re anything like me, you hang on to your outdoor gear and clothes until they’re embarrassingly decrepit, and not just because they’re your favorites.

Twisted Bindings

Twisted Bindings

By Jennifer on November 22, 2011 | Cycling Gear Reviews, Gear Reviews, Snow, Snow Gear Reviews, snowboarding, Tips

I tried boarding and gave it up all in the same season. My knees couldn’t handle it. But maybe my experience would have been different if Twisted Bindings had been an option. The rotating binding mount allows a boarder to rotate her front foot to an angle parallel to her board for easy, comfy maneuverability on catwalks and in lift lines.

Marmot Wm’s Variant Jacket

Marmot Wm’s Variant Jacket

By Jennifer on November 8, 2011 | Cycling Gear Reviews, Cycling Toolbox, Gear Reviews

An action-packed day outdoors in winter often starts with donning layer after layer of clothing and packing extra layers for the road, just in case. Then you work up a sweat on-trail and strip off those layers. They are too warm; their bulk inhibits movement; and they are now weighing down your pack. But it doesn’t have to be like that.
