In-Season Inside Outdoor | SUMMER 2018 69 Tenkara USA The original American Tenkara rod company introduces the new Hane Rod, built to pack down even smaller for hik- ing, bikepacking or any kind of travel. Measuring just under 15” when collapsed, the Hane (pronounced: “huh - nay”) works well in mountain streams as well as urban ponds. The white color is unique among the Tenkara USA lineup, offering camouflage for fishing ponds and open meadow streams. The tip of the rod is black, however, so we slow humans can keep our eyes on it. Takeya For Spring 2019, Takeya introduces a fresh color palette, as well as a convenient straw lid for 18-, 24-, 32-, and 40-oz bottles. The brand also launches its Soft Touch Bottles that feature a matte, slightly-rubberized texture and an extended line of 14-oz Kids’ bottles. Tecnica Last year, Tecnica introduced the Forge collection of custom, heat- moldable hiking boots. This season brings the new Plasma collection of low-cut custom moldable hiking shoes. Built on a fully anatomic last, which allows retailers to pre-shape the shoe for a great out-of-the box fit, other highlights include an over- lap collar design, self-locking lacing with high-tenacity Kevlar loops, Gore-Tex liners and Vibram Mega- Grip outsoles. SRPs start at $150. Tentsile Tentsile’s Safari models are con- structed from high quality UV resistant fabrics and are secured by heavy-duty ratchets and seat belt grade webbing. The three-person Safari Stingray offers a spacious, triple hammock interior and a rip-resistant durable micro-mesh for insect protection. The tent can be ac- cessed through a floor hatch, and a large front door. It also has a removable rain fly. The Safari Connect model is made for two people. It features an adjustable double hammock with two large pockets on each side, a full no-see-um mesh top with four-fold away doors and a remov- able rain fly which can be used to create a large covered porch area.
