SCARPA | Osprey | Platypus | MSR | NorrØna
SCARPA
From SCARPA’s humble beginnings in northern Italy to their expansive current line of fine-tuned footwear for skiers, climbers, hikers, and runners, SCARPA has spent the last 80+ years dedicated to creating innovative and well-crafted mountain footwear. This dedication to innovation continues for 2024 with new variations of popular climbing and trail running shoes.
Arpia & Arpia LV
Arpia V
Arpia LV
Reimagined and reinvented, the new Arpia V and Arpia LV are designed to be incredibly comfortable and high-performing. Intended for indoor or outdoor use, they feature a completely revamped fit that can be sized tightly while remaining comfortable. With a slight downturn and slight asymmetry, the Arpia V is also offered in a 'Regular’ fit and a Low Volume (LV) fit to accommodate even more climbers and foot shapes.
Origin VS
Origin VS
Women’s Origin VS
Building off the legacy of the iconic Origin, the Origin VS is a comfortable climbing shoe designed for modern indoor bouldering and sport climbing. The VS uses a single, extra-wide Velcro strap instead of two, and adds an extended rubber toe patch for easier toe hooks.
Moraine WP
A true do everything shoe, the new Moraine WP line delivers comfort and support in a lightweight, nimble package. Available in Men’s and Women’s, as well as low and mid versions, the Moraine WP’s are as comfortable on the trail as they are walking around town. They feature a PFAS-free waterproof membrane, as well as an integrated RECCO reflector in case of emergencies.
Golden Gate 2 atr
Men’s Golden Gate 2 ATR
Women’s Golden Gate 2 ATR
Building off of the success of the first Golden Gate ATR, the Golden Gate 2 ATR builds on runner feedback for an even more approachable shoe. The Golden Gate 2 moves from a bootie construction to a more traditional tongue and removes the heavy rocker from the heel to help give a more efficient stride. Built for logging miles on compact surfaces, from the road to groomed singletrack, the Golden Gate 2 ATR delivers comfort mile after mile.
Osprey
Almost 50 years of dedication to fit and function have led to new innovations for Osprey in 2024. Fast and Light is the theme of the season, with new Talon and Tempest options, including expanding the Pro line, and a new set of bikepacking-specific bags for a new way to get into the backcountry.
Talon Velocity
Talon Velocity 30 and 20
Tempest Velocity 30 and 20
For the ultimate in fast and light performance, Osprey has combined their tried-and-true Talon and Tempest series with their Duro and Dyna trail running packs to create the Talon and Tempest Velocity. The trail running style harness and hipbelt keep essentials like snacks, water, and your phone easy to access while moving, while the true backpanel and 20 or 30 liter capacities can be loaded up for any adventure.
Talon Pro
Talon Pro 40
Tempest Pro 30
More capable than ever, the Talon/Tempest Pro line is designed to be the ultimate quiver-killer. Adaptable for any mission in the mountains the Talon/Tempest Pro can be used for peak bagging, ridge linkups, alpine climbing adventures, and even your casual day hikes with friends. Now available in a 40 liter option for both Men and Women, there’s a Talon/Tempest Pro for everyone.
Downburst
Men’s Downburst 36 and 26
Women’s Downburst 34 and 24
In the Pacific Northwest, it takes more than a little rain to keep us inside and that’s where the Downburst series comes in. Built with the same AirSpeed suspension and attention to fit and comfort as other Osprey backpacking packs, but in a waterproof package. The IPX5 waterproof rating is waterproof to everything except submersion and features a roll top closure with a YKK waterproof zipper as extra protection for your gear.
Escapist
New to the Osprey collection is the Escapist line of bikepacking bags. Almost two different collections, the Escapist line includes both backpacks and on-bike bags. The on-bike bags include soft hook-and-loop attachments, glove friendly zippers, and weatherproof zippers to keep gear dry no matter the conditions. The on-bike bags include a top-tube bag, wedge bag, frame bag (available in 3 different sizes), a saddle bag, and a handlebar bag. The saddle and bar bags are both two-piece bags, that include molded holsters and the removable bags for easy setup at camp and storage.
The Escapist backpacks are incredibly functional and available in 30, 25, and 20 liter capacities to suit your needs. All Escapist packs have hipbelts with zippered pockets for access while riding, integrated hi-vis raincovers, and blinker light attachment points. They also all include an organizer with tool pouches to keep repair kits in easy-to-access locations. They are also designed to be multifunctional and just as capable as a hiking backpack as it is on the bike.
Platypus
Continuing their mission to bring the best in clean drinking water to the backcountry, Platypus has expanded their award-winning QuickDraw series and created a new in-bottle filter for more casual hikers.
Quickdraw
Built upon the success of the QuickDraw filter and 1L system, the QuickDraw line has now been expanded into a family with a 2L and 3L system. As part of the update, each QuickDraw comes with the new ConnectCap that includes threading for smartwater and soda bottles, as well as a port to connect to hydration bladder hoses for quick fill ups no matter what you choose to drink out of. The 2L system includes a tube with a CPC connector that can connect directly to any water bladder that uses one, including the Big Zip Evo and most Hydrapak bladders. The 3L system includes everything in the 2L, as well as a wide-mouth bottle connector and removable TPE hang loop to function as a gravity filter at basecamp.
Daycap
In order to bring clean water to every backcountry user, Platypus has introduced the DayCap. Designed to fit in wide-mouth Nalgene, HydroFlask, and Yeti Yonder bottles, the DayCap brings the same field-proven performance to a simple, in-bottle filter. With a cartridge life of 1,000 Liters and a 1 Liter/Minute flow rate that lets your bottle be used like normal, the DayCap is ideal for casual hikers, campers, and backpackers that want clean water in the simplest filter possible.
MSR
At MSR, unruly dreaming means being getting into nature how you want, when you want. To help more people reach their goals, MSR has introduced their first bikepacking tent and redesigned their legendary titanium cookware.
Hubba Hubba Bikepack
Designed for life on two wheels and building off the Hubba Hubba legacy are the new Hubba Hubba Bikepack tents. Available in 1- or 2-person versions, they take the the livability of the regular Hubba Hubbas and add in bike-specific features. The Bikepack tents use shorter pole sections to fit in the custom, waterproof handlebar bag and the tents include both internal and external clotheslines to help air out layers and gloves.
Titan
Designed for ultralight backpackers and thru-hikers, the updated Titan series brings a versatile and modular approach to your backcountry kitchen. A full suite of cookware, including two Kettles (900 and 1400 mL), a single wall cup (450 mL), a double wall vacuum mug (375 mL/12.5 oz), a long spoon and a spork, allow someone to mix and match to create their perfect backpacking system. With smart features like silicone-coated handles and lids with hang hooks make this collection as functional as it is lightweight.
Norrøna
Norrøna’s wide range of climbing, touring, skiing, and mountain biking apparel is expanding again in 2024, with a large redesign for the skibotn bike collection and the introduction of the multifunctional femund line.
Skibotn
Revamped for 2024, the new skibotn collection from Norrøna is rugged, durable, and comfortable. Designed for all-day rides, the collection utilizes flex1 and equaliser fabrics to balance durability and breathability. flex1 is used on elbows and the seats and knees of the pants and shorts to keep the clothes in action longer, while the more breathable equaliser fabrics are used on chests, backs, and thighs. Rounded out with western styling on the shirts that matches the tamok collection, you end up with a regular fit bike collection that’s ready for anything.
Femund
Versatile, durable, and built for a life outdoors, the femund collection features timeless outdoor essentials. Combining the most iconic styles from the norrøna and svalbard collections, including jackets, pants, baselayers, shorts, and shirts, the femund collection covers all the bases for an outdoor enthusiast.
Falketind flex1 light shorts
A new addition to the falketind collection, the falketind Flex1 Light Shorts also represent a new initiative for Norrøna. Designed in Norway, Norrøna’s Flex1 apparel can sometimes be too warm for people in the United States, particularly those in the South and Southwest. The new Flex1 Light material represents the beginning of even lighter, more breathable outdoor apparel.
