Nov 25, 2024 10:57 AM

  Theres a lot of new stuff coming out all the time, and we know you dont want to sift through it all. Thats why we put together the best outdoor products every week in our Emerging Gear column, where youll find the coolest threads, gadgets, or camping equipment coming soon to a shelf near you (or perhaps delivered by drone — whatever floats your wakeboard).

  Weve got some delicious edible products this week, along with hemp-based hiking apparel, a knife pretty enough for a James Bond villain, and retro shades from Costa. Check it out, friends!

  Basquiat x Roark Collection

  In the collaboration I never knew I wanted, outfitter Roark has created a line of apparel inspired by American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. TheBasquiat x Roark collection includes a line of outdoor clothing and accessories for running, surfing, and adventuring — all with artwork from the always-imaginative Basquiat, who rose to fame in the 1980s for a unique painting style incorporating elements of jazz and hip-hop with street art.

  The 17-piece collection includes boardshorts, T-shirts, jackets, and caps, ranging in price from $45 for a T-shirt to $140 for the Secondwind Jacket (super stylish and already at low inventory). Seeing as a Basquiat painting sold at Christies just last year for $67 million, I have a feeling this collection will sell out quickly.

  Zamberlan Approach Shoes

  Deschutes Brewery makes some of the most delicious brews anywhere, and now several of its iconic styles are available free of alcohol. This week, it debuts the Fresh Squeezed Non-Alcoholic IPA (were big fans of the OG version). But beyond just an NA option, Deschutes patented its own proprietary brew method, which it claims creates exceptional zero-alcohol offerings.

  Crafted entirely in-house through a partnership with Sustainable Beverage Technologies (SBT) and utilizing the company’s patented BrewVo technology in combination with Deschutes’ proprietary brewing methods, this groundbreaking technology allows Deschutes to create the best-tasting flavor-forward non-alcoholic beer on the market, the Oregon brewer said in a press release.

  The brewery has released the Black Butte Porter Non-Alcoholic as well. They cost $14 through the online store, where availability is currently scarce.

  However, you can use the Deschutes “beer finder” to locate a retailer near you.

  Alpine Start instant beverages; (photo/Alpine Start) Alpine Start, founded by climber Matt Segal, has dropped a new line of instant beverages that come with benefits. In this case, that means adaptogens and nootropics, which are apparently real words to describe ingredients like organic lions mane, reishi mushrooms, and essential vitamins A D.

  New offerings include Oatmilk, Matcha, and Latte: all vegan and with the benefit of added ingredients. Normally $16 each, theyre currently selling for $14 on the Alpine Start website.
