6. Wigwam Mills
SynchroKnit Surpass
UltraLight Low

9. California
Innovations SelfInflatable Air Cooler

Wigwam will launch SynchroKnit
at Summer Market. By strategically eliminating stitches (by
dropping needles during the
knitting process), bulk and excess
yarns are reduced in certain parts
of the sock. A SynchroKnit sock
follows the contours of your foot,
cradles the arch, and provides
just the right amount of room in
the toe and heel boxes. | $16
OUR TAKE: Wigwam tells us they
had to break the knitting machine
and rebuild it to be able to drop
those stitches. The result is a precision fit that hugs your arch.

This 1.72-pound cooler stores flat
or rolled up-and inflates itself
when needed. Open the valve and
the ultra-high-performance foam
expands to create a 35-quart volume shape. The interior features
a removable, leak-proof liner with
Microban to protect against bacterial odors and stains. The exterior is water-resistant. After use,
simply deflate and store. | $40
OUR TAKE: Here's a solution for
people with limited storage space.

7. Saxx Hyperdrive

44031-UL

51081-UL

46086-UL

This new compression boxer
brief sports Saxx's innovative
and stabilizing new BallPark
Pouch design, built specifically
for high intensity workouts. It includes a hidden waistband stash
pocket and it's odor resistant
and moisture wicking. | $50
OUR TAKE: Who doesn't need a
little stability in their briefs?

8. Tilley TP-100 Polaris
44090-UL

With eco-friendly 3XDRY Bio
fabric to offer maximum moisture repellency, this sailing hat is
designed for long days on open
water. It builds off of the brand's
long-standing Airflo Collection
but adds new features like a
stowaway sun shield cape as
well as a sunglass holder to
keep your shades safe when the
water gets rough. | $115
OUR TAKE: We like that the Polaris
eliminates the need to stuff a bandanna under your hat to protect
your neck. That was never a good
look. And we appreciate the sunglasses storage option.

36154-UL

10. Therm-a-Rest
Questar 32F/0C

Therm-a-Rest's all-new W.A.R.M.
fit combines the thermal efficiency of a mummy bag with
the room of a rectangle bag,
allowing campers to sleep comfortably in any position. The 1
pound, 14 ounce bag is part of
the award-winning Questar family, which includes the updated
20F/-6C and 0F/-18C. | $240
OUR TAKE: This bag won't be a
burden backpacking but will
offer a roomy fit for sleepers who
like to sprawl.

11. Outdoor Research
MicroGravity Jacket
44095-UL

Further blurring the line between hard-shell and soft-shell,
the 3-layer MicroGravity uses a
stretch polyester fabric to create
a lightweight jacket that achieves
new levels of breathability, air
permeability, and waterproof
ratings, all in a windproof and
super-stretchy garment. | $249
OUR TAKE: The light, tough MicroGravity makes technical jackets
crafted just a decade ago feel
virtually obsolete.
