On the Radar
Reveals, New Launches and Gear
Under Armour Chugach GTX Jacket and Bib
Announced at the Outdoor Retailer trade show, Under Armour’s new entry into technical outerwear positions them to make splash with hardcore outdoor enthusiasts. The Chugach GTX jacket and bib both feature some unique features designed to make life easier in the backcountry. They were designed with help from pro snowboarder and avid fly fisherman John Jackson. The jacket features vents near the bottom of the ribcage instead of under the pits for easier venting while wearing a pack. The bibs feature a cinch top, much like that of fly-fishing waders, to keep out snow and wind. Available fall 2016.
Located in NOLA’s Warehouse District, the boutique hotel chain’s newest outpost has a distinctly Southern feel while still staying true to the Ace Hotel ethos.
Each pair of Shwood sunglasses are handcrafted in Portland, Oregon, and feature polarized lenses. The Newport is the perfect blend of old school design and modern materials.
