We returned from Outdoor Retailer, Summer Market in Salt Lake City in August, the largest tradeshow/gathering of outdoor related brands in the world. For those who haven’t been, this show is heaven for anyone who is interested in camping, climbing, hiking, paddling, clothing, and everything in between. While not open to the public, this show is a truly a gear junkie’s Shangri la. To sum, think of your favorite outdoor brand, and without fail, they will be here holding court, trying to entice the world’s top retail shops to sell their respective wares for the upcoming season.
