Crocs
Jeff really loves these funny shoes. He has received more comments on them at trade shows, in the streets of New York City, and in our local vets office as two of our dogs tried to drag him across the floor. If it wasn’t for his Crocs they would have had him skidding through the waiting area as they rushed the counter for dog biscuits!

He feels these Crocs are better than his old ones. The heel strap keeps them from slipping off and the wide selection of colors affords him the luxury of choosing a pair to suit his mood. So get them while you can – there the best deal on the planet.

HOLEY SOLES

Holey Soles are similar to Crocs but have a much truer size to fit ratio, consequently they offer a little better support in the arch and even have a raised toe grip like a Birkenstock. Both Jeff and I have been sampling two of their bright colors over the last few months and are so far quite pleased with the comfort and have noticed that the sole seems to last a bit longer than the croc product.

New Sea Kayaking Instructional Videos: Video 3 H2Outfitters has put together its considerable experience in sea kayaking to produce a series of 5 videos that anyone looking to perfect their technique won't want to miss. Called The Art of Paddling: A Visual Manual of Instruction, each video in the series is 20-30 minutes of detailed instruction on strokes and skills. The first three videos in the series of 5 have been released. The first covers wet exits, forward and reverse strokes, and turning strokes. The second covers bracing, rolling and advanced strokes. Video 3 has just been released and demonstrates rescues that work. Video 4 in the series, to be released soon, covers surfing and selecting a kayak and the proper gear and equipment. These are beautifully done and techniques are clearly demonstrated. Each video costs $26.95, or the first three for $70 plus shipping and handling.

Sea Kayaking Essentials DVD - Volumes 1-3 H2Outfitters has finally pieced together the first three videos in the "Art of Paddling" series into one DVD.  In addition to covering the material in volumes 1-3 (The Basics, Honing the Skills, Rescues that Work), Sea Kayaking Essentials includes an index that allows the viewer to search through the DVD by individual skill.  Price: $39.95.

SKWOOSH Pad: If you're searching for a kayak, canoe or rafting cushion that eases the pressure on your "sitz" bones and makes paddling less tiresome and more comfortable, then check out the market's newest paddling cusion - the SKWOOSH Paddling Cushion. TekPad UL, the active ingredient in the cushion, is a lightweight, non-toxic polymer that flows to conform to your shape. Until recently, TekPad was only availabled in medically-prescribed hospital mattresses and wheelchair cushions. The SKWOOSH's cover is made of waterproof nylon to prevent chafing. It floats and remains pliable in temperatures from -20 to 80 degrees C. $40 plus shipping.

Tow Belts: This tow belt is unlike any other on the market. The mesh pocket allows water to drain, minimizing mildew, the Velcro closure for the pocket makes opening it quickly a breeze, and the quick release belt makes removal simple. A 3' bungie cord absorbs shock from the 25' of floating sheathed polypro rope. The carabiner is a solid piece of stainless steel with an offset tensioned gate, which eliminates the spring, the part that is most prone to rusting and freezing up on a standard 'biner. Best of all, you don't even know you are wearing it and it even provides a slimming effect for the most portly paddler. A tow belt is a necessity, and this one is priced reasonably at $69.95 plus shipping.Call us to place your order at 1-800-20-KAYAK or

 

 
Boreal Designs Kayaks: the Ellsmere with round or keyhole cockpit and the Beluga tandem. As you know Jeff and Whitney are crazy about the Ellsmere and it has been a popular boat with the rest of our staff, too. It's responsive, handles well in rough conditions, and most importantly is comfortable to sit in for the whole day! At 17' long with a 22" beam, it's a good fit for paddlers of all heights and weights. Available with the round British-style cockpit and a new keyhole cockpit. Jeff and Cathy often demonstrate the fun of paddling tandem at events and symposia, and after testing the Beluga were impressed with how responsive this 21' kayak can be. It was quick to come up to speed and carve turns nicely, while offering stability and comfort. Jeff paddled it solo during a recent photo shoot with the cameraman in the bow and raved about how easy it was to handle. Call us for more info at 1-800-20-KAYAK.

 Aquis Microfiber Towel: Dry off in style. Jeff found these in a potions and lotions shop on one of his many travels. What impressed him most was the compact size when folded, its incredible drying capability, and the cottony feel of the fabric. Not like fleece or scratchy pack towels, this full-sized towel dries you and dries itself out incredibly fast. It comes in three different sizes, and we have swatches to send you that make great eyeglass cleaners. We recommend the XL towel size which sells for $30 plus shipping.

In Plum, Granite, Seafoam, Blueberry.

NEW! Eagle's Nest Hammocks : For Comfort on the go, take one of our new Eagle's Nest Hammocks on your next adventure.  At only 16 ounces but with the strength to hold up to 400lbs, they're both lightweight and durable.  Plus they pack up to the size of a grapefruit, which makes packing them a snap.  All sorts of accessories are available including a bug net, a rain tarp and a set of straps.  The bug nets are great because of the super fine mesh (technically called no-see-um netting) that keeps even the tiniest bugs out, and the double sided zipper which lets you get in and out easily for those late night snacks.  Certainly better than being a late night snack yourself, wouldn't you say?

Bug Net: $44.95

Dry Fly: $59.95

Straps: $19.95

RE:TURN OFF BIKES

Last year Jeff, Ross and I tested some fantastic folding bikes that we found in Japan made by a company called Return:Off. We rode these bikes all over Japan and with six gears even the old man in the group was able to cruise up some pretty serious hills. The real beauty of these bikes is the ease with wich they fold; we carried them into hotels, through buisy Japanese train stations, and onto the trains themselves with no difficulty whatsoever. In thirty seconds these little bikes on their 16" wheels fold up into a package of a little more than a foot square and only 8" wide. Re:Turn Off bikes are sure to add alot of enjoyment to any traveling adventure .  RE:TURN OFF Bike 6 speed- $600

BIRDY BIKES

Another new bike product is the folding bike by Birdy, USA. These are based on a design by Reiss and Mueller of Germany and rather than having a joint on the top tube, these bikes hinge at the front and rear forks so that the wheels fold under the frame. A little more complicated to fold these bikes have a full suspension and 18" wheels and the ride can only be compared to a full - size touring bike, it's incredibly smooth. These bikes come in 8, 9, and 14 speed versions and consequently, can be used in almost any capacity a full size bike can offer you. Jeff saw the first of these suspended folders in Japan and has since obtained a Bianchi-branded version of this bike, the only one of its kind in the states right now. Its a celeste green beauty and he tested it on the streets of Rome and the steep hills of Positano on our most recent trip to Italy. The bike did fine, we left Jeff recovering his breath on a cliffside villa in Positano and he has only just returned!

Birdy Bikes 8 speed- $1050, 9 speed - $1250

                

DAHON BIKE SUITCASE

There is no better way to take your bike with you too - guaranteed! The semi hard-sided suitcase has plenty of padding and is ideal for airline travel. It has rugged zippers and straps and very heavy-duty wheels to with-stansd the worst of beatings.   $195

H2O Home And Health Products

IQAir -
Air Purifiers
The IQ Air line of purifiers has hit the mark for us. Made in Switzerland with each unit individually certified for performance, these are not your run of the mill air purifiers that you see in every consumer catalog. These are medical grade units that are available in various configurations. Considering their performance and what they have to offer, they are priced quite reasonably. All this in a market where units that don’t come close are selling between $500-800. We now have a particle counter which allows us to test the air quality going into and out of any air purifying unit. We will be glad to test yours or the air in your home or office. Feel free to call Jeff directly; he will be glad to answer any questions and give you first hand testimony.

H2O-Fresh O2-Spray
In collaboration with Vermont Soy Candles, H2Outfitters is offering this handy 4-ounce spray, and it is simply amazing! Works just as effectively as the candle but is compact so you can carry it in your purse or car. It gets rid of smoke and other odors while allowing you to use it directly on fabrics, clothing and furniture. Jeff has tested it extensively. He’s used it on mildew tents, smelly wetsuits booties, and on himself after sleeping with the dogs! It really works. The nice thing about it is that it’s safe to use on fabrics of all kinds, it won’t affect their waterproofness, breathability or leave any stains. However, it’s always a good idea to test it on some out the way corner just to make sure. And speaking of the dogs, it really neutralizes that wet, woolly odor when they come in out of the rain. Price: $9.00

New! Vermont Soy Candles
A more romantic odor-killing option is our Odor Neutralizing candle! With a 50 hour burn time, these really work and also add that element of ambience all of us paddlers crave at the end of the day.
Price: $13.00
