Packs
REI's Crestrail packs for men and women are the co-op's new multi-day packs that balance low weight and superior comfort. The foundation is REI's ActivMotion™ suspension, with a pivoting hip belt to maintain load balance as a hiker steps up or down on uneven terrain. In addition to the top opening, the Crestrail has three access zippers to the main pack bag. Storage is accessible throughout and the pack has multiple places to lash and stash additional gear.
REI's Venturi packs for men and women solve the “sweat-soaked tee” effect through the use of a tension-mesh panel that allows air to flow freely across a hiker's back. This new nonslip fit design addresses the age old problem of uncomfortable pressure points. Perforated foam in the shoulder straps and mesh vents in the hip belt also help air-dry on the fly. Venturi packs are available in done-in-a-day (30L) and day-plus (45L) sizes.
Sleeping Bags
New for car camping, REI announces the Kingdom sleeping bag series that gives campers the best of both insulations for a good night's rest. The goose-down-insulated top section offers a comforter-like feel. Underneath lies a polyester fill that resists compression for consistent warmth and comfort throughout the night. Available in a double or spacious single, each has a silky nylon taffeta lining, anti-snag zipper and draw cords differentiated by feel for fumble-free hood adjustments.
REI's roomy Siesta sleeping bags offer campers comfort, value and a choice of temperatures, widths and insulations. Synthetic models include a +35°F single and +35°F double bag, as well as a +20°F single bag. Siesta's down-filled bag is a +35°F single. “Comfort Connection Zips” convert any single Siesta into a double bag by attaching another Siesta single or a Siesta bottom sheet.
Combining comfort with low weight, the Radiant sleeping bag is the down bag for backpackers who want a relaxed fit at a reasonable price. Optimum performance is achieved via industry-leading testing and precise calibration of down fill. REI has eight Radiant models in men's and women's and temperatures ranging from 0°F to +20°F. New this year is a plus size +20°F bag that is wider all around.
Youth
Youths' Passage 65 and Passage 40 backpacks grow with your child and are easy to adjust. Because youngsters also come in all shapes and sizes, these packs adjust in both torso length and hip belt circumference. Passage 65 fits teens, while a new Passage 40 fits tweens. Both feature the same materials and technology that REI uses in its adult packs, and offer various storage details and are compatible with a wide variety of hydration reservoirs.
Kids' Tarn 18 and Sprig 12 daypacks offer younger kids the same conforming fit and egg-crate foam comfort as full-size REI backpacks. Mesh on the surface of the back panels allows fresh air to cool kids' backs. Both daypacks are built with sturdy materials for years of hiking.
