Outdoor Retailer Sneak Peek: Next spring Mountain Hardwear gear
Mountain Hardwear always has lots of big news and new products to present at the annual Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City and this Summer it was no exception. Rather than list the entire line-up for spring 2015 we've chosen what we feel are the top four products and the 'ones to watch for' this spring. First up is Mountain Hardwear's line of waterproof packs (such a great idea) featuring the Scrambler 30 pack with OutDry. Next is the Quasar Lite jacket with Dry.Q Elite technology which keeps you dry but also makes this 2.5 layer jacket incredibly light at just 340 grams. Then there's the HyperLamina sleeping bag is Mountain Hardwear's first half-length centre zip bag that uses Zoned Thermal.QTM insulation. Finally there is the new Ghost Light jacket which weighs in at just 85 grams and is wether resistant thanks to the 15D Ripstop Z-Grav fabric. This piece is ideal for hikers and runners who need a light weight layer to protect them from the elements.
