How Major Outdoor Retailers Are Selling Used Gear to Help the Environment

Wide Open Spaces

Here's a quick rundown, off the top of my head: Stories: Columbia Star Wars Sweepstakes - (spent a lot of time chatting with Andy, and he sold me pretty hard on this campaign). Lucie sold me on two stories on the Women's IRONMAN World Champs because we chatted at the show. // Gear I have in testing as a result of the show: Teren jacket (intend to review). Wingo Outdoors Convertible Blanket. Osprey Archaeon modular carry-on. I believe we also secured some Garmin reviews as a result of the show. ROCK AND ROLL!
