We scoured the largest outdoor industry trade show in the world—here are the most innovative products.
Every summer, gear companies descend on Denver to show off their latest wares on the floor of the Colorado Convention Center. As usual, the BACKPACKER team hit the showroom floor last month in search of the coolest products that will be released in 2020. From ultralight sleeping bags to a first-of-its-kind trail running vest, here’s the best of what we found.
Klymit Maxfield 4-Person Tent
Klymit is an expert on sleep systems, and is well-known for making great camping pillows, blankets, and pads. And now, their first-ever foray into tents seems like a logical progression. The Maxfield is roomy enough to comfortably house a group of four, but at just over 5 pounds isn't so heavy that you can't take it into the backcountry (it actually ranks among the lightest tents for its size). And, at $500, we'd even say it's a bit of a steal.
