InsideOutdoor | WINTER 2022 45 Old Man Mountain Celebrating its 25th year of helping people carry their loads to the backcountry, Old Man Mountain introduces the Divide and Divide Fat racks that fit any bike, capable of mounting to full suspension mountain bikes, road and gavel bikes, fat bikes, even tri-bikes. The Divide boasts a 55lb/25kg carrying capacity when eyelet mounted and a 70lb/33kg capacity when using one of OMMs mount fit kits. The rack can easily be swapped from one bike to another or from the front to the back of the bike with just a few bolts. Other highlights include a new dropout design for the perfect fit on any bike and a lower pannier rail, which makes it easier to put bags on and take them off with gear lashed to the deck and provides a lower center of gravity for a more stable ride, said OMM. SRPs start at $148. The Divide Made in the USA retails for $180. BOTE The new Aero SUP Paddle Seat effectively turns any BOTE stand-up board into a sit-on-top kayak. Utilizing the Travelink attachment or KULA cooler tie-down points on BOTE paddle boards, the Aero SUP Paddle Seat is secured using the provided straps for a quick and easy set up. The reclining position can be adjusted using the seat hinge and straps for a custom ride angle, while a no-slip BVA cushion provides all-day comfort. On the seat back is an oversized, expandable pouch for stashing small items as well as MOLLE loops for additional customized clip-on storage. Hot Bento Enjoy a hot meal, anywhere, anytime, with no wires, no plugs, 10 minutes to heat and eat. Hot Bento is fully self-contained and waterproof. The stainless-steel food container nests inside a shock resistant, fire retardant plastic housing. When snapped into place the food safe lid is sealed with an O-ring for leak free performance. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are encased in their own waterproof, fire retardant structure within the main container. The batteries are controlled by a patented circuitry that transfers power to a proprietary heating panel. Food reaches temperatures up to 165 degrees in 10 minutes by a simple push of a button. Sunday Afternoons Made from lightweight, four-way-stretch, breathable Italian fabric, this double-layer microfleece Meridian Thermal Beanie provides extra insulation where needed. Handy features such as the dualposition Sunglass Lock and concealed ponytail opening boost the performance of this baselayer beanie, while reflective details, under hat/helmet compatibility, travel-friendly crushable design and a UPF 50+ sun rating round out the package. SRP is $36.
