Outdoor Retailer Trends

The Outdoor Retailer Summer Show just occurred in Salt Lake City. Our team spotted some interesting developments on the horizon. Here are some highlights:

We're not in Kansas any more: heels on wheels from Merrell.
Urban/fixed gear trend continues: new waxed canvas bag collection from Timbuk2.
Illumination: North Face's new Bike Commuter Collection may look like no big deal, BUT…
Look what happens when light hits these shorts!
Cool bike tees from Lole.
A romper for cycling with snaps between the legs.
The new length in outdoor: TUNICS. Look for lots of them next spring.
Continued focus on fair trade organic fabrics, skinny jeans rolled up.
Color in footwear.
Toes in footwear.
The beauty of wool: armwarmers, with knee warmers to match!
Outdoor Retailer embraced the bike in a big way, thanks in large part to a trend by outdoor specialty retailers to add cycling to their product mix.
