Coleman<br />
Coleman’s new Exponent<br />
Mini headlamp enables<br />
users to see clearly in the<br />
dark with hands-free convenience.<br />
The headlamp weighs approximately<br />
1.4 ounces, including the single CR2 lithium battery<br />
it needs for operation. The Exponent is weather resistant and offers<br />
seven hours of illumination on low and two hours on high. It also has<br />
an emergency strobe setting. 316.832.8707 or www.coleman.com<br />
Cordura<br />
Invista Performance Materials introduces<br />
Cordura NYCO knit fabrics<br />
for T-shirts and base layers. Designed<br />
for rigorous physical demands, NYCO is<br />
a high-performance knit combining cotton<br />
and Invista T420 nylon 6,6 fibers. It is<br />
engineered for use in intimate blends with<br />
cotton and cellulose fibers to increase durability,<br />
abrasion resistance and strength. With<br />
increased moisture management and quickdrying<br />
comfort, Invista says NYCO T-shirts dry 2.5 times<br />
faster than 100 percent cotton T-shirts, making the<br />
fabric ideal for military, tactical and workwear apparel.<br />

Dri-release<br />
Wigwam Mills recently added more than a dozen Drirelease<br />
styles for men and women, including some styles<br />
in which Dri-release replaced Coolmax polyester for performance.<br />
Wigwam apparently made its decision after<br />
comparative test results favored Dri-release’s ability to<br />
disperse moisture quickly and keep feet cool. Dri-release<br />
is an intimate blend of synthetic (hydrophobic) and natural (hydrophilic)<br />
fibers that pushes sweat to the outside of the sock so it can<br />
evaporate. It dries four times faster than cotton, according to Optimer<br />
Performance Fibers. Dri-release also contains FreshGuard, an odor neutralizer<br />
embedded in the fabric. 800.994.3083 or www.drirelease.com<br />
Eagles Nest Outfitters<br />
ENO wants your customers to take the<br />
comforts of the backyard on all their travels.<br />
The company’s SingleNest and Double-<br />
Nest hammocks are constructed with tough,<br />
breathable woven nylon and high-grade nautical<br />
line. Both hammock designs measure 9 feet, 10 inches in length and<br />
support up to 400 pounds, with the DoubleNest being a bit wider at 6 feet,<br />
8 inches. With the SingleNest weighing in at 18 ounces and DoubleNest<br />
at 22 ounces, both are packable for longer treks. Both hammocks are selfstowing<br />
and compressible enough to fit into their softball-sized sack for<br />
easy stowing and transport. The SingleNest is pictured here with ENO’s<br />
Dry Fly rain tarp. 828.252.7808 or www.eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com<br />
