Mountainsmith The new CONA 4 is a premium hydration lumbar bag that continues Mountainsmith’s commitment to leading the industry in lumbar products. The CONA 4 can carry up to 10 pounds and is the only lumbar bag on the market that doesn’t actually touch your lumbar for untouched air flow and breathability. Gregory Gregory is revamping the Baltoro to deliver improved comfort on the trail, adjustability for a custom fit and more sustainable materials. The new FreeFloat A3 suspension system allows the hipbelt, shoulder harnesses and lower backpanel to adapt and conform to a body’s unique shape. The patented Free- Float hipbelt system and auto-rotating shoulder harnesses flex and adapt to the body’s natural movements for a dynamic carry and comfort. An AirCushion backpanel is made from proprietary mesh with a 3D structure con- sisting of 90% open-air for true breathability – while eliminating pressure points. Available in three adjustable torso sizes that overlap, SRPs start at around $300. In-Season ALPS Mountaineering Designed for use with a sleeping pad, the Radiance Quilt is generously sized for ad- venturers who prefer ample room to accommodate multiple sleeping positions or who need more space than that offered by standard-size quilts and sleeping bags. With a top width 55 inches wide and measuring 72 inches long, the Radiance also comes with an oversized footbox (16x12 inches) that is big enough for integrating a sleeping pad. Constructed of a nylon ripstop shell, the Radiance Quilt earns a 35° F temperature rating courtesy of its TechLoft Micro insulation fill.
