Outdoor Retailer 2016

We're quite used to carrying Motorola gadgets but not so used to leaving them at home for every outing that doesn't involve hiking and camping. But that's what folks will be doing with Motorola's new Lumo Hybrid lantern, a versatile flashlight-lantern with speaker, mosquito repellent and more.​​

Many outdoor users might consider "outdoors" and "technology" words that should never be used in the same sentence. But regardless of what traditionalists think, technology is infiltrating outdoor recreation and sports in a big way. We found it everywhere at the recent Outdoor Retailer show.

Tepui is on a mission to get people up off the ground and sleeping on top of their cars and trucks. Its latest product line should only help. The light, versatile Baja Series provides three interchangeable fabric options, giving campers year-round comfort.

It's not only bicycles that are getting smarter. The latest smart cycling accessory on its way to streets, the Coros Linx smart helmet pulls those irritating, dangerous earbuds out of the cyclist's ears, using bone conduction for music play, hands-free calling and other audio features.

An all-new electronic multi-tool for outdoor enthusiasts, the modular Seattle Sports Survivolts uses a 5,000 mAh battery to charge a phone, throw light down-trail, signal for help and even start fires.
