The popular brand Dockers is releasing a line of outdoor specific clothing for fall of 2008. We got a chance to review some of the clothes before they hit the shelves.

The Dockers Outdoor line features eco-friendly materials including recycled polyester and organic cotton. Some garments are made entirely of these materials, others are blends. I think it’s great to see the big brands moving in this direction.

The Can-Panion is a clip-on beverage holder that easily attaches to the side of your water craft, and a number of other objects. The beverage holder has a unique coil clip that allows you to stretch the holder over a variety of widths.

PROS

The Can-Panion holds very securely to the side of the boat. There are 4 prongs within the beverage holder that keep the beverage container from wiggling around in the holder. These prongs also allow for a variety of beverage container sizes.

The WeeRide is a newer type of child carrier for bikes that mounts between the rider and the handlebars instead of behind the rider. I had read about this type of child carrier last year, but this past weekend was my first time using it. It is intended for children more than a year old and under 40 pounds, which pretty much means 2 and 3 year olds.
