Inside Outdoor | SUMMER 2021 43 Kijaro Kijaro’s top-selling Dual Lock Chair is now available in Repreve 100% recycled fab- ric. In addition to saving 19 water bottles from landfills, each chair of- fers a dual-lock that keeps the chair closed while carrying and open while sitting. No-sag seat and two mesh cup holders enhance the relaxation efforts. SRP is $35. Db With its hemispheric design, methodically organized compartments and ease of carrying, the Duplex duffle serves the needs of backcountry and off-the-grid adventurers. It carries like a technical pack and offers a clo- sure system that provides easy access to gear while providing an easy load and unload experience thanks to the “ribs” that allow the bag to hold its shape while loading. The Duplex comes in three sizes (50, 70, and 90L) and is made of heavy-duty recycled 840D Carbonate fabric. Mystery Ranch The S22 Bridger series covers all the features that backpackers are looking for in a pack, said Mystery ranch. There are ventilated body pan- els that still carry weight well, recycled fabrics on the main pack bag, accessory pockets on shoulder pads and waist- belt and all shaping on body is outside of the shaping on the spring steel frame (no impact on how shape of harness fits on different body sizes). A remov- able lid that doubles as a hip pack rounds things out. Pictured here is the 55L Del Mar. Mustang Survival The new 150 Convertible PFD is the newest member of the tried-and-true MIT (Membrane Inflatable Technology) range of products. The MIT 150 is now the highest buoyancy vest in the best-selling MIT Col- lection, for those want- ing the extra security or who are venturing further offshore. It can be converted be- tween automatic and manual-only inflation modes, depending on the scenario for maximum versatility. SRP is $199. Appalachian Gear Company The new Ugly Bag uses a patent-pending All-Paca Fleece for a high-functioning, eco-friendly alternative to down insulation. All-Paca Fleece insulates without relying on loft and when wet, said the company. It also offers moisture management, breathability and odor control. The bag’s shell is made from a soft-structure Tyvek polyethylene fabric that is waterproof, abrasion- resistant and breathable. Finishing touches include zipperless, hoodless construction with elastic at the opening and chest for an expandable fit and an attached “turtleneck” that can be tucked inside for additional warmth, bunched around the neck like a baffle or pulled completely over the head like a hood. SRP is $285.
