Leading an active outdoor lifestyle can be a real mess at times. A day at the beach results in piles of sand tracked home in the trunk or on the seats of the car and trailed all over the floors of the house. The grains get into every crack and crevice of shoes, bags, gear, towels, cars and clothes. There has been no way to avoid it until now. CGear Sand-Free is introducing the world’s first-ever Sand-Free Beach Towel, a sand-free backpack that transforms into a beach mat, new styles of sand-free bags and more at the 2019 Outdoor Retailer Summer Market show. Also debuting in booth 31007 are the new AIRventure and Weekend footwear collections from Ventolation. The first shoe to ever feature “Soles with Holes”, every step in a Ventolation shoe is a breath of fresh air for feet.
CGear New Products
The CGear Sand-Free Beach Towel ($49.99) solves many of the common complaints about standard beach towels. Normal beach towels wind up sopping wet and covered in sand and grime after use. The CGear Sand-Free Beach Towel keeps sand where it belongs, on the beach, by filtering it through the patented double layer Sandlite fabric. The towel is fast-drying, shakes clean and will not mildew.
Traditional backpacks are great for carrying gear, but they are one-dimensional. The Switch Transitional Backpack ($54.99) is a backpack multi-tool with up to 20L of space for carrying gear, and it converts into a 3 x 3.5-foot sand-free mat. Just unpack, unzip and unfold for a sand and dirt-free space to sit or store gear. Adjustable side strapping tightens down the pack for lighter loads. And when it is time to pack up and head home a simple shake is all it takes to send dirt and sand tumbling off gear and out of the backpack.
People are constantly brushing off the seat of standard camp chairs every time they go to sit down. The CGear Sand-Free Camp Chair ($59.99) is a combination canvas seat with a patented sand-free polyester fabric center that filters sand, dirt and dust out of the chair to the ground. Essentially a self-cleaning chair, the Sand-Free Camp Chair is lightweight, conveniently stores into a carry case and can be used in sand or soft dirt without sinking. Perfect for the beach, sitting around a campfire, or seeing your favorite artist perform live the chair weighs less than two pounds. Its rugged design can hold up to 260-pounds. And, the open weave Sandlite fabric provides increased airflow to your backside while seated.
This year at Summer OR, CGear will also be previewing new colors and styles of its wildly popular Sandlite mat at a special new price, new sand-free bag designs and more. Visit www.cgear-sandfree.com for more information about all of CGear’s Sand-Free products.
Ventolation New Products
The patented design of Ventolation shoes makes it feel like the shoe is breathing life into every step keeping feet cool and comfortable during any adventure. Whether it is a trip to the local farmer’s market to a day spent boating on the lake. Engineered from durable Vento-Flex material, Ventolation shoes are well cushioned for all-day comfort and less foot fatigue.
Available in sandal, moccasin, and slip-on sneaker styles for men, women and children, Ventolation footwear has removable EVA footbeds that are perforated with tiny holes. Beneath the footbed, dual action columns create channels that direct sand and water out of the shoe through the “Soles with Holes”. The columns also softly massage feet helping to prevent feet from swelling or getting “puffy” in warmer temperatures.
Ventolation shoes are also quick drying and slip resistant. The moccasin and slip-on models have splash or water-resistant KPU uppers and the outsoles are non-marking.
