We sat down at the Outdoor Retailer / SIA show to discuss some of the most notable trends, interesting products, weirdest products, and the thing at the show that caused Jonathan to legally change his name.
It was really cool to hear how stoked everyone was on the podcast. For better or worse, the Snow Show is sort of a “State of the Union” and reflects the attitudes of the industry. There were a lot of smiles and optimism. Did I hear correctly that something resembling a flight helmet and visor is “in” now? I digress.
What I really came to say was that I’ll offer up a nice bottle to the first person to get Max G. Force in a 3L anorak.
Nah. Much like Easy-E, Max G needs that easy access.
Jonathan’s comments at 6:48 were like a knife in the heart— I just bought and mounted the Rossi Super 7 RD on Blister’s recommendation! They are now as obsolete as my 1989 Patagonia Anorak shell. Oh, wait a minute…….
(Don’t worry, the Super 7 RD was the best one. But don’t tell Sam I told you.)
Yep, I really like it so far. Just what I was looking for.
Another great telemark podcast guys! Do you have any pictures of the gold pivots? Dying to see them.
We’ll post a photo of the new colorways in our Blister Awards this week, but you can see the gold colorway in the “OR 2020” story on our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/blisterreview/?hl=en
