Each year the Outdoor Retailer trade show takes place, where an
overabundance of to-be-released outdoors gear can make heads spin. Some
of it expected, some of it useful, some of it will likely flop. Here's
a "Top Five" list of gear that's a little peculiar, but caught the eye of gear reviewer
Ryan Dionne as having potential in the outdoors world. Most of it will be available
in the fall, so yes, this preview is a tease for all of you who want
the gear now. But some of it is worth the wait.
# 5: Brunton Flip N' Drip Coffee Maker - It's as easy as the name implies. Brunton's
Flip N' Drip Coffee Maker is the backpacking coffee addict's dream.
Just boil water in the integrated stainless steel carafe, attach the
reusable filter and drinking mug, and flip it.
In
minutes, you'll have yourself some piping hot brew. The entire
contraption, which is about 11 inches long and 4 inches in diameter,
weighs 1 pound - a marginal addition to any coffee-lover's pack. It'll
be available in February for $60.
