Outdoor Retailer 2019 Winter Market came and went this past week in Denver, Colorado. Combining this year’s show with the Snow Show presented the opportunity to check out all of the latest from the industry for Fall/Winter 2019 gear and apparel. Here are the brands and products that caught our eye as we navigated our way across the showroom floor during the three days of the show. Jones Mind Expander Snowboard and Splitboard

Jones partners with (and creates public fundraising for) several non-profits like 1% For The Planet, Protect Our Winters, and Community Carbon Trees. As of the 2019/20 season, Jones snowboards feature responsibly harvested Forest Stewardship Council certified wood cores, Super Sap bio resin (bio-based, renewable epoxy made with plant-based carbon instead of petroleum based, which requires 33 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional epoxy), recycled ABS sidewalls with steel edges and are factory waxed with Wend Natural Wax.   Their splitboard technology includes a Boltless Bridge and a Mellow Magnitraction split that provide smooth rides and easy transitions. Stance Snow Merino Wool

The design collaborations that support athletes and artists make them the most aesthetically purposeful sock on the market. These snow socks incorporate a Natural Wool Fusion Blend that naturally wicks moisture from the skin, provides thermo regulation, and has anti-microbial properties. A strategically placed breathable mesh improves the ventilation of the sock as well as adds comfort, and a reinforced arch provides correct support and reduces foot fatigue. Coal Headwear The Bridger Cap

The low-impact alternative consumes 76 percent less energy, 85 percent less water, and 19 percent less C02 to produce.   The Bridger Cap is a low profile 5-panel hat with a retro style fleece and color blocked nylon. The shock cord and toggle back adjust the fit of this cap and there’s even a sweat-absorbent band on the inside. Volcom 3L Gore-Tex Overall and Iguchi Slack Vest

It provides a streamlined session by dispersing the gear needed for a Backcountry rider, with external straps for board/skis, pockets and sleeves for avalanche gear, and everything else you could need while off the grid. And Volcom easily has the most stylish bib (or Overall in this case) with uncompromising functionality and fit. Mountain Hardwear Boundary Ridge Gore-Tex 3L Jacket
