Every year, the brands that make the best outdoor gear, the shops that sell that gear, and the media brands (like us) who cover the latest and greatest, gather in Denver to see what’s new for next year at the annual Outdoor Retailer Summer Market show. The industry gathering celebrates the love of being outdoors, and offers a chance to see what’s coming.
This year, however, that gathering happened online. It was right up there with Zoom weddings or Microsoft Teams cocktail parties. The barriers to in-person meetings did not stop the outdoor world’s heritage brands (and startups alike) from creating problem-solving, fun-enhancing, safety-increasing gear that you’ll see in stores and on websites in spring 2021. So, here’s a sneak peek at the best of what is to come in year ahead that we can’t wait to get to—and when we can get our hands on these new releases to test them outside, where they belong.

Scarpa Mojito Bio The Mojito Bio has the classic mountain-inspired style of the original Mojito. And Scarpa’s first 100-percent biodegradable shoe is also one of the first fully biodegradable hiking shoes to hit market. At the end of its life, 85 percent of this shoe will decompose after 450 days in a landfill. The rest takes a little longer, but it will eventually disappear.
According to the U.S. Department of the Interior, Americans throw away at least 300 million pairs of shoes each year, and shoe soles can take up to 1,000 years to decompose. So, creating something that breaks down fast will make a difference. The Mojito Bio is made with a cushioning sugarcane-based EVA midsole, and a biodegradable, natural rubber sole. The body of the shoe is a super-breathable, bamboo-derived fiber knit. Stretch lining and laces are also bamboo-based. All other components have a vegetable base and the pieces are assembled with water-based, non-polluting adhesives. The shoes’ packaging is also recycled, of course. [$179; scarpa.com]
