When it comes to outdoor gear and apparel, tried-and-true is never a bad approach. If you’re the type to buy multiples of your favorite hiking pant, technical shell or sunglasses, great — we see you and respect you.

However, there’s something pretty damn fun about drooling over the latest and greatest products to hit the market. If you’re in the mood for new, read on. We stopped by the Outdoor Market Alliance tradeshow in Denver last week to get a peek at what’s just out or coming down the pike — here’s what caught our attention.

Editor’s note: Some of these items will not be available till later this year, hence the lack of purchase buttons. We aim to dish more details on them in the future when they drop.
