Outdoor Retailer Winter 2015: Bigger Than Any Blizzard

Back to Blog

Hunkered down (presumably you're already over that phrase for the year, right?) for the inevitable snow day, it seems like the ideal time to show off some of our shots from last week's Outdoor Retailer Winter Market show.

Our intrepid adventurers left the bright city lights of NYC for the, well, only slightly less bright lights of Salt Lake City last week to meet some of the greatest brands of the Great Outdoors.

Sure, it's still the big city, but a city in Utah has a much more pioneering feel than the tri-state area, even if the latter currently sits under several feet of snow at the time of writing.

So turn that heater up, grab a cup of coffee and consider which of these sturdy outdoor items might now be a necessity for your next morning commute...
