On the Radar

Reveals, New Launches and Gear

ESCAPE Traveler

In a short break from Outdoor Retailer-related products, here’s a cabin that you can drive to wherever you want. The ESCAPE Traveler is a classy and livable (if somewhat absurd) take on the traditional RV: 269 square feet of space with a cedar and steel-accented exterior, homey insulation, a full kitchen and bathroom and room to sleep six — a master bedroom, convertible attic space and a ground-level day bed. In other words: tiny houses meet trailer parks.

Boreas Tsum Trek 55

With an “around-the-world” zipper, removable handle and various modes of carry, Boreas’s latest is at home on the trail, on the way to the gym, or just on the way to work.

Renovo Oasis Water Filter

“Water enhancement”, on paper and out loud, sounds kinda silly. But that aside, Renovo’s modular water filtration system is easily one of the most compact, versatile offerings on the market — or at least it will be, upon funding.

UnderArmour Verge Low GTX

UnderArmour’s latest runner combines lightweight uppers, welded overlays and Michelin outsoles — sure to make joggers running on the trail as surefooted as your most reliable off-roader.

Black Diamond Camalot Ultralight

Climbing gear shouldn’t weigh you down; that’s why Black Diamond’s new and improved Camalot camming device is 25 percent lighter than before.

Hydro Flask Food Flasks

Newly redesigned, the Hydro Flask Food Flask keeps snacks and beverages fresh with airtight sealing and 18/8 food-grade non-porous steel.
