Today its time for open door six, and today it is about gear trends for 2017..
When it comes to trends in outdoor gear I will start with Drones. It will be used for filming, your own film crew. Running, skiing climbing it will be used. But also in a more practical way. For used to prevent from avalanches etc.
Practical and a good use of drones, protecting us from avalanches.
New soles from Vibram will help us on slippery ice surfaces.
A new rubber compound, Vibram’s Arctic Grip Sole gives “up to three times better grip” on wet ice surfaces.
Polartec has been working for a long time with new and good textile functional clothing. ”cooling” clothes is not something new on the market, But now Polartec has provide a new function called Delta. This one probably will change this market.
Polartec Delta will change the outdoor clothing a bit..
When it comes to climbing, new gear appears the whole time. It is getting safer, even if your skills still require knowledge and skills from practical training. Belays is always important and Wild Country has now revolution the market with their new belay solution.
The key safety piece in climbing, the belay device, gets an upgrade for 2017 from a few brands. Most notably, the Wild Country Revo has a new “bi-directional” auto-locking design to make belaying almost foolproof.
For the snow and cycling enthusiast there is a choice, the Antartic bike. For long distance cycling in artic environment..
If you gonna be moving in artic environment, this maybe can be your choice:-)
See ya tomorrow.
The development is great in the industry Ulf. Thanks for sharing all the info with us.
