Designer Tevas, CBD Athletic Tape, All-Terrain Gear Wagon, and More Emerging Gear

As we approach the transition from summer to fall, we’re looking to refresh our wardrobe, and this week’s Emerging Gear has got plenty of sweet apparel picks.

Tracksmith released a collection of shoes, tops, and bottoms designed for trail running. Arc’teryx got in on the action with two new women’s pants that have a distinct Gen-Z aesthetic, while upstart brand Chasqui is on a mission to show that alpaca wool has become a go-to fabric for outdoor adventure.

In a continuation of the outdoor industry’s embrace of cannabis and hemp, CannaTape Sport dropped a CBD-infused KT tape that aims to deliver muscle relaxation and support in a two-for-one package. Find all of the latest and greatest below in Emerging Gear.

Tracksmith Overland Collection

New England–based brand Tracksmith is branching out from its usual road-running apparel with its new Overland Collection, a line of products designed for trail running. According to its website, “it was inspired by hours spent navigating the range of conditions that define New England’s off-road terrain.”

The line includes footwear, hydration vests, shorts, windbreakers, and tops. The Eliot Range shoe ($240) combines foam and an injected nylon plate for both protection and propulsion, while the merino wool lining resists odor and moisture and the Vibram XS Trek Evo on the outsole delivers grip.

The windbreaker ($215) should repel wind and light rain, and can be packed inside one of its pockets for easy, space-saving storage.

Designer Teva Collab

Teva is teaming up with renowned streetwear designer Sean Wotherspoon for a limited-edition line of footwear that is sure to stand out on the trail.

The collab includes a revamp of a beloved Teva model of the early 2000s, the Wraptor. This unique wrap-around design is available as a sandal ($200) or shoe ($215); both feature bold color blocking and rugged, chunky soles.

There’s also a fun throwback of Teva’s classic Hurricane sandal ($100), with retro detailing and contrasting patterns.

CannaTape Sport

We’ve all seen athletes wear KT Tape to help reduce pain and swelling, and now CannaTape Sport is taking that idea to the next level with its new CBD tape ($40). The brand adds hemp-derived CBD and white willow bark extract, along with peppermint, menthol, and tea tree oil, to standard kinesiology tape with the goal of improving athletes’ performance and boosting their recovery.

The company claims that the CBD reduces pain and the white willow bark lowers inflammation. Peppermint oil and menthol add a cooling sensation, while tea tree oil acts as an anti-bacterial. The durable, water-resistant tape works for any sport, including running, CrossFit, golf, swimming, and more.

Chasqui Colca Hoodie

Hundreds of years ago, the Inca Empire would send messengers, or chasqui, across the Andes as part of its communication network. Kickstarter brand Chasqui takes inspiration from these endurance athletes, crafting apparel using Peru’s most traditional fiber: alpaca wool, a versatile fabric that’s naturally moisture-wicking and odor-resistant.

The brand’s Colca Hoodie ($100) uses a combination of royal alpaca wool and nylon made from recycled plastic to deliver a warm, breathable hoodie. Every aspect of the hoodie is carefully designed, including using specific kinds of stitches to reduce bulk. If you have sensitive skin and find even merino wool to be too scratchy, the Colca Hoodie might be for you; it claims to be ultra-soft and itch-free.

Easterly ‘Pull-About’ Wagon

After selling out of its wagon in Australia, Easterly decided to take the plunge and launch in the U.S. The Pull-About ($500) is designed for toting around the kids, carrying your farmers’ market haul, or packing for a big beach day.

The front caster wheels and larger inflatable rear tires are designed to tackle varied terrain. When not in use, it collapses for storage. Easterly chose fabrics that can stand up to wind and water, so this wagon should last for years to come.

Luminox Pacific Diver Stealth Steel Watch

Luminox’s Pacific Diver series of watches has been an industry leader for years. When GearJunkie reviewed its Midnight Mariner model, we were wowed by its combination of durability and luxury aesthetic. The brand is building on that success with the Pacific Diver Stealth Steel Watch ($795), a model that aims to function just as well in the boardroom as it does in the water.

The Stealth is water resistant up to 200 m (650 feet), and the 44mm stainless steel casing offers toughness in a sleek package. The Luminox Light technology offers a continuous glow in low-light or dark conditions. The sundial is available in three vibrant shades: emerald, crimson, or ocean blue.

CLIQ Bag Collection

CLIQ is best known for its ultra-portable, collapsible chairs, and it recently dropped a series of bags designed to help customers bring these chairs along with them on every adventure. The line includes three new bags: the ToQ, the Qlutch, and the Qube.

The ToQ ($150) is a large, heavy-duty tote bag that’s perfect for picnics or the beach. When you’re ready to hit the trails, there’s the Qlutch ($190), a weather-resistant backpack that is specially designed to carry four CLIQ chairs. The Qube ($49) is a two-for-one: It’s a carrying bag for a chair, but can also serve as a cooler, with a capacity of 12 cans.

Nomad Mossy Oak Camo Apparel

First launched in 2002, Mossy Oak New Break-Up was the first camouflage pattern designed specifically for hunting. Now, Nomad is bringing the OG pattern back, adding this photo-realistic camo to several of its existing products and fabrics.

In the summer, turn toward the Mirage collection, made with lightweight, breathable mesh that’s also UV-blocking. For shoulder seasons and rainy days, the Axe line has lightweight layers with weather protection. Products ranging from shirts to hats to gloves from these lines will now come in the ultra-realistic style.

Arc’teryx Women’s Pants

Finding a good pair of women’s outdoor pants that fit right and deliver on function can be like trying to find the holy grail. Now, we’ve got two more options to try, with Arc’teryx’s new Nia and Leutia pants.

The brand’s site describes the Nia ($220) as a “water-resistant, stretch softshell pant with a relaxed silhouette for fast hiking.” Not a fan of tight, legging-like hiking pants? Then the Nia, with its barrel-leg fit, could be a good match for you.

The Leutia ($240) gives more of a cargo pant vibe, with a wide leg and plenty of sizable pockets. Both models have an adjustable, integrated waistband belt to help you get the perfect fit.

Arcade Momentum Belt

A belt is a deceptively simple piece of equipment. With just two parts — a band and a buckle — how much could a brand possibly tweak it? If you ask Arcade, you can still redesign the whole thing. With its new Momentum Belt ($50), it rethought every element of this essential accessory.

The fabric is made from recycled plastics, resulting in a band that’s eco-friendly as well as breathable (and it’s even machine-washable). The three-piece buckle is easy to adjust and metal-free, so you’ll fly through TSA.
