The Shasta Stool
is perfect for the
outdoor person in need
of seating but conscious
of product weight. Four
collapsible, aluminum legs
join to create the seating base,
which works as either a seat
or an ottoman when paired with
outdoor chairs. SRP is $45 USD.
Based on advance registrations, the 22nd edi-
tion of OutDoor is once again expected to
bring more than 900 exhibitors and upward
of 21,000 attendees to the Neue Messe
Friedrichshafen exhibition center on the
shores of Lake Constance in Germany. Set to take place
July 15 to 18, 2015, the OutDoor international business
expo has shifted its schedule one day (similar to what Out-
door Retailer has done), now taking place on Wednesday
to Saturday, as opposed to ending on Sunday, both this
year and moving forward.
“We’re convinced that offering an additional week
day is better for just about everybody. The OutDoor is
an international event and, as such, conforms to inter-
national business practices,” said Stefan Reisinger Head
of OutDoor, explaining the decision, which was made to-
gether with partners from the European Outdoor Group.
The 2015 edition of OutDoor also will see an in-
ternational panel of experts awarding the OutDoor
Industry Award quality seal to products that represent
outstanding innovation and design quality. In addition,
the supporting program includes informative presenta-
tions at the OutDoor Conferences and the finals of the
DAV German Bouldering Championships (Deutsche
Bouldermeisterschaft), organized by the German Alpine
Association (DAV).
Of course, there will also be plenty of gear and garb
on display for international retailers. Following is a small
taste from some of the companies planning a presence
at OutDoor. Genießen Sie!
