Synthetic
The Aura collection will be REI's premium, ultralight backpacking synthetic bag and will be available in +25F and +40F. Aura will balance warmth, weight and performance, and will be ideal for damp conditions. The Aura will feature REI's exclusive Primaloft MXL insulation, which blends two sizes of insulation fibers – a larger diameter fiber for loft that prevents convective heat loss and a smaller diameter fiber for compressibility that retains radiant heat.

The Zen (and Zonk +25F for youth) will be REI's lightweight, backpacking synthetic bag and will offer a balance between performance, price, and the versatility of synthetic's warm-when-wet properties. Available in +10F and +25F, this sleeping bag will offer REI's Z-baffle construction, which provides durable, lightweight, compressible insulation guarding against both convective and radiant heat loss.

New tents, pads and packs for family camping, comfort and ultralight backpacking
Family & Comfort
In the Spring, REI will also introduce the Kingdom tent series to customers, a two-room well-ventilated tent with high ceilings and a zip-open divider. This abode will be available for four or six people and will feature a weather-proof entry at one end and room for an optional vestibule at the other. The Kingdom will be free-standing with vertical walls for maximum interior volume and multiple pocket locations for convenient access.

The Hoodoo 2 tent will deliver deluxe three-season livability, ideal for two occupants who prioritize comfort in their backcountry and base camp experiences. In this design, tension truss pole architecture and a four-hubbed pole set will create high interior volume and strength. REI will also offer plush Camp Beds ideal for car camping, as well as the lightweight, packable Convertible Trekker that will provide comfort for backpacking or travel.

With the addition of the Passage 65 Pack, ideal for youth ages 11 to 17, REI will have a full line of comfortable backpacking packs for the whole family. Also new for Spring, the Lookout and Traverse pack lines will be the first true technical daypacks on the market made with 100 percent post-consumer, recycled materials and built with supportive suspension and contoured fit.

Ultralight Backpacking
REI also has the ultralight backpacker in mind. New for Spring, REI will introduce the ultralight Flash Pack collection (available in 18, 30, 50 and 65 Liters), which offers a unique blend of lightweight comfort and durability for men and women.

Additionally, REI will add a new tent and sleeping pads to its line. The Ace SW 2 will serve as a high-performance single wall tent positioned for savvy backpackers seeking a mix of high strength, low weight, compact carry size, high interior volume and lightening-fast set-up. New selections of sleeping pads include the Lite-Core collection that will focus on lowest weight and highest compressibility.

New apparel and travel bags designed for active and everyday lifestyle
REI Apparel & Travel Luggage
The Spring 2009 collection of outdoor and urban clothing for men, women and children will feature improved fit, brilliant graphics and colors for enjoyment on the trail or around town. Additionally, REI will introduce new additions to its award winning Stratocruiser and Wheelybeast rugged travel luggage, as well as its travel and hand bag collection for men and women with new colors and designs.

Much of REI's branded gear and apparel will carry its ecoSensitive logo, identifying the product has been made using a minimum of 50 percent renewable, recycled or organic fibers. Many of REI's travel bags including the new Quantum collection and women's hand bags will be updated and designed using recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) thermoplastic polyester.
