Inside Outdoor Winter 2018

CEP The Progressive+Outdoor Merino Compression Socks offer a combination of fine merino wool and polyamide fibers. The fabric absorbs, stores and wicks moisture so skin stays pleasantly dry even on long excursions. CEP’s proprietary compres- sion profile increases circulation, reduces swelling and stabilizes muscle and joints while skiing. SRP is $65. Chaos The new CTR Merino Paramount collection of- fers a line of winter beanies and liners in revers- ible styles with a 3M reflective thread for safety at dusk and dawn. The CTR Paramount is made with a double-layer Primaloft merino wool and a reflective stripe and logo. SRP is $22.99. Blizzard The Alight Collection of high perfor- mance, front-side carving skis for women offers new designs with new women’s specific molds. The side- cut and radius have been adjusted to optimize the mounting point for better positioning and balance on the ski. The Alight 8.2 Ti utilizes these new designs with a full sandwich sidewall construction, a lighter wood core and metal for optimal performance. Bogs The women’s Snowday features 100% waterproof/breathable construction and is cold rated to -22F. With a new outsole that is based on the popular Arcata winter boot introduced last year, the lugged pattern provides great traction on snow and easy shedding but also with plenty of surface contact for gripping icy streets. The boots are available in three heights: 14-, 9- and 6-inches. SRPs start at $100. Boker USA The new, American-made Kwaiken Automatic com- bines the slim and minimal- istic Kwaiken design with a precise ProTech spring mechanism. The flawless action of the push-button makes opening a breeze, and the ultra-strong spring delivers an impressive kick when the 154CM blade locks open. The handle is CNC- milled aluminum and sports a pocket clip. The series kicks off with two models in limited release (250 pieces of each). One features a two-tone blade (SRP $219.00), and the other a stonewash finished blade and black handle ($229.00). CGear The company’s first soft touch sand-free mat, the Sandlite is soft like a beach towel and easily rolls up into its own carry pouch with handle. The patented fabric allows sand and dirt to pass through while blocking it from coming back up through the fabric. Inside Outdoor | Winter 2018 36 Product Market Showcase | WINTER 2018/2019
