Oskar's OR Picks

Hi Friends!

As Tretorn's most savvy and trend-conscious mascot (sorry Karl, but you know it's true), I was assigned the task of spotting the latest and greatest at this year's Outdoor Retailer Winter Market. I met with dozens of vendors who were featuring new and exciting products. Here are some of my faves:

Crescent moon Snow shoes: This is the first snowshoe company I have seen that makes extra large snow shoes especially for bears. Okay, they aren't actually for bears, but they fit me perfectly!

Bear Hands: Now kids and adults anywhere can make their hands just like Oskar's! They are intended to be gloves to keep your hands warm in the winter, but why not sport them all year round to make your hands more attractive?

Sinner helmut and goggles: So the helmut wasn't exactly a perfect fit, but I loved the bright orange color. And the goggles looked great on me... a good option for the next time I hit the slopes!

Easton Tent: A great alternative to a cave for hibernation time.

Bear Bells by Silverfoot: I'm told you should wear these when camping and their jingling sound will let bears know that you are coming so they can keep their distance. Although I'm not sure who wouldn't want a bear to join them on their next camping trip- I for one make an excellent camping buddy.

Until next time!

Picks and Pics- Oskar is ready for OR!

Hi Friends!

I'm on my way to Salt Lake City to attend Outdoor Retailer. I'm very excited for the experience, as my busy schedule doesn't allow me to travel as much as a bear should. I'm hoping Tretorn won't work me too hard and will give me a chance to hit the slopes when I'm there!

I just wanted to tell you about all the exciting things Tretorn will be doing at Outdoor Retailer. First, as Outdoor Retailer is all about innovation, I'm going to be doing a special "Oskar's OR Picks" while I am at the show. During the 4 days of Outdoor Retailer, I'll share with you some of the neat and different products I stumble upon during my time there. I'll post them to Twitter from time to time (check us out- twitter.com/TretornSWE ) and share them in a blog post next week so you can experience the show with me!

Second- Since I'm grateful for the chance to be making so many new friends at the OR event, I'm having another photo contest! Attendees can stop by our booth, #29183W and snap a picture with me. These pictures will be posted to Facebook, and the photo that receives the most "likes" will win a very limited edition Tretorn longboard. Check out the image below. And be sure to check back on Facebook and vote for the pic you like the best (http://www.facebook.com/tretorn). You can view the contest rules and details here: http://store.tretorn.com/statics/a/11/ .



Finally, we'll be debuting a brand new display for the event! While I can't reveal the real thing until the big day (Thursday), below is a sneak- peek to give you an idea of what to expect! Very outdoorzy, ja? I might just move in, after OR...



To all of you that are attending OR, ses dar! (see you there!) For those of you that aren't, please keep checking back to live vicariously through me.

Skål!
