Outdoor Retailer Summer Market begins on Thursday and runs from August 1-5 in Salt Lake City.
For those who don’t know, the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market is one of the biggest gear expos of the year. It happens biannually and gives gear manufacturers the opportunity to showcase some of their newest creations and best deals.
Basically, it’s an outdoor gear junky’s paradise.
While we can’t go out to the SLC event, there are a number of publications online where you can keep in touch with the freshest new gear announced at the event–brands like Mountain Hardwear, Black Diamond, New Balance and, well, pretty much any outdoor brand you can imagine.
So here are a few sites where you can get rapidfire updates from the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market expo:
