The twice annual Outdoor Retailer Trade Show showcases
outdoor gear that will hit the market in about six months, so gear shown at the
summer 2017 show will be available in spring 2018, and some of it even earlier.

Summer 2017 is the last year for the Outdoor Retailer trade show in Salt Lake City. Next year it moves to Denver, CO.

Janet and I have been covering the Outdoor Retailer trade
show since 2006, so the summer 2017 show was about our 22nd. Our show
coverage is one of the few that focuses on lightweight and ultralight
backpacking gear, as well as new technologies that are driving change in the
industry. The Show is huge, including gear for the full range of outdoor
activities, so the challenge is finding the select few gear items of greatest
interest to our readers.
We would like to thank Gossamer Gear for providing housing
for us when we travel to Salt Lake
City to cover the show. Without their support it would
be difficult for us to continue our coverage.
Our show coverage is organized into several articles for reader convenience. Comments on individual gear items are those of the authors and do not constitute any opinion or recommendation from Gossamer Gear. Click on the topic below to read the article.
