Most of the gear at last week’s Outdoor Retailer trade show—the outdoor industry’s huge, semi-annual gathering in Salt Lake City, Utah—gave us a sneak peek at what’s coming in next spring and summer. But your favorite brands also showed innovative gear that hit stores earlier this year and, in some cases, products that are landing right now. Really, they’re clearing space and setting them on shelves today. Check it out now, and be the first of your buddies to grab the best new gear for running, mountain biking, climbing, hiking, and cycling.

KEEN EVOFIT ONE

Here’s a sandal that delivers out-of-the-box comfort, thanks to an engineered-fabric upper with a new lace-capture system that hugs the foot with balanced tension. Airy and breathable, the EVOFIT ONE fits like a second skin, and pushes the performance envelope with a PFC-free DWR coating on the upper, an anatomically engineered PU midsole with arch support, and KEEN’s Aquagrip rubber outsole, which maximizes traction on wet terrain, so you can take amphibious fun to the next level.

Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel

Tailwind has a simple answer to the often complicated question of how to fuel for big endurance efforts—long-distance bike races, trail marathons, and ultras. Its “one fuel to rule them all” delivers hydration, electrolytes, and calories in a mild-tasting, easily digested drink mix. Mix each 54g “stick pack” with 20-24 ounces of water for 200 calories, and ditch hard-to-swallow gels, chews, and bars that are slowing down the competition. Bonus: The company was founded by a hardcore endurance athlete with a sensitive stomach, so you know it works.

Superfeet ME3D Insoles

Insoles are going high-tech—and highly individual—this year with the rollout of Superfeet’s ME3D fit stations at specialty running stores across the country. How it works is an HP, Inc.-produced machine makes high-definition 3D scans of customers’ feet, then analyzes biomechanical pressure throughout their gait. From that, it creates a fully custom, 3D-printed insole that’s shipped to their door two weeks later. The tech will soon go beyond just making the insole, and recommend off-the-shelf running shoes based on the collected data. It’s in eight locations now, but Superfeet plans to expand to other locations between now and the end of 2018.

Stanley Master Vacuum Mug

Way back in 1913, William Stanley, Jr. invented the double-wall vacuum insulation technology that’s used by every single company making insulated mugs, water bottles, growlers, and younameits. This spring, the company upped the ante with the introduction of its Master Series—super burly mugs and bottles with 1mm-thick stainless steel walls (a 42 percent increase in thickness) and new QuadVac tech that keeps your coffee hot even longer (12 hours in the travel mug), and your beer cold (16 hours). While it may be unnecessary for most users—Stanley markets it to professionals working in extreme conditions, like wildland firefighters—it’s still cool to have and, in a pinch, is a solid defense against rogue bears, assuming you have a good swing.

Osprey Trail Kit

At last, Osprey’s helping mountain bikers and trail runners get their lives in order (hey, if they wanted to be Type-A obsessives, they’d hit the roads), not to mention manage some of the mud and dirt they pick up along the way. The Trail Kit is a 40-liter organizational duffel that centers around a large, easy-access U-zip apparel compartment. At either end of the bag, large, water-resistant compartments separate shoes and/or helmet from the rest of your kit, and a ventilation window helps reduce funk. Mesh side pockets keep keys, nutrition, and other small stuff organized, while an external strap handles rain gear and other items. Stowaway straps convert the whole shebang to a backpack for easy carry.

Altra Escalante

For its first foray into a knit upper, Altra knocked it out of the park. That’s because it put the engineered flat-knit on a bouncy new midsole compound that outperforms both adidas Boost and Saucony Everun, while keeping the same foot-shaped last that longtime disciples love (from popular Torin and One models). So it has the same great Altra fit, but feels lighter, more comfortable, more responsive and faster. Put simply, the Escalante is the best shoe the company has made for the greatest number of people.

Mountain Khakis Commuter Pant

From the company that brought you the bombproof “Original Mountain Pant” comes this bike commuter-specific urban update. The classy Commuter has the same diamond-shaped action gusset for increased mobility and the triple-stitched seams and bartack reinforcements that make MK pants last forever, but puts them on a slimmer, more fashion-forward silhouette. Nice details for cyclists include performance stretch twill material, tapered legs to avoid greasy chains, and reflective hits on the roll-up hem that boosts nighttime visibility. You'll wear them everywhere, even off the bike.

Forsake Driggs

Boston-based Forsake has made a name for itself by creating off-road-capable kicks with street-inspired styling, and the Driggs is no different. An urban-inspired high-top with full-grain leather and suede details, it also features fully waterproof, seam-taped construction, an EVA midsole, and aggressive lugging that translates well to that casual hike and post-hike beers with your friends this weekend.

BUFF Pack Run Cap

From the company that brought you a (surprisingly smart, wildly popular) cloth tube that can be worn a dozen ways—from cap to balaclava—comes yet another subtle bit of genius: a 1-ounce, UPF protective running cap with wicking side panels and a low-profile sweatband that crushes down small enough to shove in your shorts pocket. And, of course, it comes in the awesomely individual prints BUFF is known for, so hardcore runners and other endurance nuts can proudly hoist their freak flags.

Darn Tough Endurance Collection

It’s easy to caught up choosing the right shoes or shorts for a workout, but sometimes something as foundational—and, yes, perhaps boring—as socks can make a huge difference. Vermont’s Darn Tough painstakingly reengineered its Endurance category to offer both performance and protection. Fine-gauge knitting, no-slip ribbing, extra cushioning, and a high-tech blend of merino and nylon ensure your feet can take the pounding of miles and WODs.

Ortovox Cortina

Even before Smartwool and Ibex existed, the German mountainwear company Ortovox used merino wool in its next-to-skin layers to boost comfort, durability, and thermal regulation while preventing body odors. Now it's incorporating Tencel—sustainably harvested, wood pulp-derived cellulose fibers—into merino-blend apparel like the sharp-looking Cortina shirt. Not only does that soften the shirt’s hand, it also manages moisture to naturally cool you on a hot day, whether you're hanging out at the crag or holding down a barstool. Just maybe don't wear it to the gym.
