It is always hard to figure out what to include in these Best of Show guides and what products just to don’t make it. There is only so much room. In this Best of Show we found products to help you in your travels, tents that are both light and functional, gear to help you enjoy the water and more. We hope you find this gear has interesting and innovative as we did.
Twice a year companies around the world come to Salt Lake City to show off all their newest gear at the Outdoor Retailer Show.

We had to have a part 2 of the Best of the Outdoor Retailer Show because there were that many great new products this year. And in reality this is barely scraping the top of what new things are going to be coming out in the fall. We hope that you will continue to check back on our site to see updates of new gear and reviews of that gear. 2012 is going to be a busy year here at Open Air Life.
The 2012 Winter Outdoor Retailer Show was a hit. With thousands of outdoor minded people and over a thousand companies, there was plenty to see and some great new innovations and cool pieces of gear to play with. It was hard to narrow it down to just a few of our favorites as we could have picked many more, but we felt like these are some of the newest products that one might want or need. As always we would love to hear from you.
SALT LAKE CITY – August 3, 2010 – Several hundred retailers spent Monday, August 2, demoing the latest outdoor products at Jordanelle State Park, in Heber City, Utah, as part of the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market Open Air Demo (OAD). With more than 90 exhibiting manufacturers, attendees got a sneak peak at the latest paddlesports, endurance sports, GPS devices, and other outdoor equipment and accessory products.
Well the last few days I have been roaming around the Salt Palace here in Utah at the Outdoor Retailer Winter Show. It is like a giant candy store for adults who love the outdoors. Over the next week, I will be posting the latest gear that I came across during the show. Some new gear as well as some that just really caught my eye. I hope you check back and see some of the new and excited gear that will be coming out.
There were a bunch of different bands playing at the show. I caught some of Joey and Rory sing their song “Cheater, Cheater”.
