Tents, knives, sleeping bags, running shoes, and more \u2026 each summer, brands congregate to launch products at the Outdoor Retailer trade show, held last week in Denver. I evaluated hundreds of products to find the best to-be-released gear for 2019-20. Here are my top five:<\/p>\n

Using a new type of titanium-ceramic alloy, Vargo built a better knife.

2. Rivian R1T Electric Truck<\/p>\n

Like Tesla for the off-road world, Michigan-based Rivian is making waves. Its electric R1T pickup truck drew massive crowds at the OR Show with incredible design elements like pass-through storage and a front trunk. Oh, and 0 to 60 mph in three seconds certainly doesn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n

3. Rab Mythic Ultra Sleeping Bag<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Heat-reflective technology is not new, but Rab did it in a different way with its new sleeping bag line. The bag\u2019s material is made in a room filled only with inert argon gas. Thin fibers are coated with titanium, and when woven into the fabric, the bag reflects body heat back to the sleeper. The result is a higher warmth-to-weight ratio for the ultra-light line.<\/p>\n
