Originally published in the Fall 2020 issue of SPOKE+BLOSSOM
Mystery Ranch Market
Head to your favorite farm stand this fall with this backpack to tote bag design from Mystery Ranch. The design is simple without lacking essential features, including an interior zippered pocket, interior bottle pocket sleeve and a spacious exterior zippered pocket. $69
Voormi Access NXT Vest
Thermal wool technology and a durable water repellent works here to take off the chill and create the perfect fall layer for hiking, biking, climbing and more. Mesh side panels work to keep you dry and comfortable while moving. Once temperatures dip and snow starts to fall, wear this vest while cross-country skiing or as a mid-layer in the backcountry. $149
EcoVessel Transit
This classic portable mug from a Colorado company features insulated stainless steel and excellent temperature regulation in a sleek design. It’s ideal for sitting around the campfire on a fall weekend trip or for your daily commute cup of joe. The multi-position open/close slider lid and ergonomic handle makes it comfortable and easy to use. $24.95
Zeal See Grass Sunglasses
Check out these sustainable sunglasses from this Colorado-based company in two styles, Aspen and Divide. Zeal Optics recently launched the See Grass collection, created from natural grasses and recycled plastic bottles, featuring Zeal Optics’ plant-based polarized lenses. $169
Danner Logger 917 GTX
The classic look of these boots is as pronounced as their versatility. The Logger 917 are adventure-inspired while also standing out in an urban setting. They have a GORE-TEX waterproof liner while maintaining their lightweight comfort and smart style elements. $230
Dakine Hot Laps 5L Bike Waist Pack
You don’t need a full backpack when you’re just heading out to Grand Junction’s Lunch Loops for a quick ride. We love this five-liter lumbar pack from Dakine, which features a two-liter lumbar hydration reservoir and plenty of storage for your phone, tools, snacks and light layers. $75
Sweet Protection
Arbitrator MIPS
Helmet
Snowmass Bike Park (see page 60) will be a great place for this helmet. It’s convertible to full-face, so the chin bar removes when you want to ride the trail up, then set up your full-face mode to bomb down. In addition to its durability and versatility, this helmet is both lightweight and highly ventilated. $299.95
Feetures Elite Mini Crew Socks
Get a custom-like fit plus dense cushioning for your feet when you’re hiking, trail running or cycling. These socks feature targeted compression and comfort where you need it the most. $17.99
Kryptonite Incite X6 Bike Lights
We like the single-button design on this model, which also offers a top-facing sensor on the front light that adjusts the light’s mode automatically based on the surrounding conditions. The Incite X6 uses a double lens technology that creates precise light distribution with a clear cut-off, so you are not blinding other cyclists or motorists. The X6 has a maximum run time of 30 hours between charges, seven different modes and a max lux of 60. $74.95
Hydro Flask
Timberline Collection
The fall season inspired this limited-edition collection, reminiscing on cozy flannels, crisp afternoons in the woods and evenings around the fire. Choose from two bottle size options – the 2-ounce standard mouth and 32-ounce wide mouth – available in four seasonally inspired colors: Bonfire, Snowshoe, Woodstove and Treeline. Each features a custom lid and bottle boot for extra grip. 21-ounce $42.95; 32-ounce $54.95
Rumpl FeatherLite Blanket
New to the Rumpl lineup this season is the lightest blanket they’ve ever made. It’s the same size as the Original Puffy Blanket at less than half the weight. Goose down and ripstop polyester join forces for an incredibly durable blanket that feels light-as-a-feather, keeping comfort a priority for backpacking and road trips when space is limited. $399
Mountain Hardware
PACLITE Plus
Go lighter with this jacket made for wet conditions. It features a compact material that is more minimalist, while still offering top durability and waterproof technology. One zippered chest pocket and two harness-compatible hand pockets with stretch-mesh interior makes it easy to keep your phone, money, keys and other essentials dry when you’re in the elements. $300
