Outdoor Gear Review

New for 2009. The Seattle Sports Active Trax is an eco-friendly portable speaker. The Active Trax is powered by a hand crank and/or a solar panel. The speaker is compatible with most music players, and also can tune in FM, AM and Weather Band Stations. The Active Trax comes with a protective case for the speaker and music player. You can find the frequency of the weather station in your area by visiting the NOAA website.

The Seattle Sports Audio Micro Dry Bag provides splash-proof water protection for your portable music player. A watertight audio jack allows you to plug your headphones into the outside of the bag, while keeping your music player(and other items) dry on the inside. The Audio Micro Dry Bag is made of an eco-friendly urethane-coated 70 denier ripstop Nylon. The bag protects your electronics from the elements and from abrasive forces you'll face in traveling.

Testing on the Snake River

Polar Pak’s MOFLOW provides you with a pressurized water bladder.  We tested the MOFLOW while mountain biking in the Tetons, and were impressed by how well the bladder rode in our packs, and how quickly and easily the water was discharged.  As you can see from the picture, once you inflate or pressurize the MOFLOW, it becomes very rigid and slides into a pack with ease.
