Camber Outdoors Names Tiffany Smith as CEO

Camber Outdoors, the non-profit organization with the mission of supporting workplace inclusion, equity, and diversity for Outdoor-Recreation focused organizations, announces Tiffany Smith as the organization’s new CEO, following an intensive selection process. Most recently serving as Chief Development Officer of Camber, Smith steps into the new leadership position effective immediately. She will lead Camber in equipping the leadership of 300+ Fortune 100, small business, and nonprofit member organizations to achieve systems change.

 

Smith brings to Camber more than 15 years of strategic leadership experience spanning both the nonprofit and for profit sectors. In her most recent role as Camber’s Chief Development Officer, Smith has led Camber’s partnership, marketing and fundraising teams that make up pivotal components in expanding Camber’s visibility, strengthening relationships, and increasing the organization’s sustainability. She also held leadership positions with national nonprofits, including the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the Girl Scouts, and the Urban League.

“Tiffany joined the organization with a proven track record of impact and continued the trend of success within the first year at Camber,” said Reggie Miller, co-president of Camber’s Board of Directors and Vice President, Global Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer of McDonald’s. “She established a partner experience which has increased partner engagement by 60%, increased Partner retention rate, diversified funding streams, recruited and managed leaders as well as enhanced communication strategies. Tiffany was poised for this promotion with her undeniable impact within our organization and within the Outdoor Recreation Economy. Tiffany is a seasoned leader whose vision, energy and sense of purpose will drive systemic change in building more inclusive, diverse and equitable workplaces.”

Smith will execute on Camber’s strategic plan which includes five key priorities in the next three to five years: amplifying the narrative of Camber’s mission; catering to Camber’s Partners with new programming and initiatives; assessing the group’s core needs through Camber Survey System; creating a more diverse pipeline of professional talent in the Outdoor-Recreation industries; and continuing to find ways to strengthen Camber as an organization.

“This is a critical time for Camber and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have Tiffany step into the CEO position to continue to grow and build meaningful partnerships, programs and a successful, diverse Camber team,” said Michelle Wardian, co-president of Camber’s Board of Directors and Chief Strategy Officer of Youngone America. “Tiffany will continue to lift underrepresented groups and gender equity in the industry and she also will be able to maintain the measurable, impactful results initiated by former Camber co-CEOs Renita Smith and Emily Newman.” 

Camber just released groundbreaking results from its most recent industry survey, which showcases and celebrates the advances and progress of Camber Partners over the past two years. Initial findings from the 2021/2022 Camber Survey System show how Camber delivers to its Partners systemic, scalable, and measurable programs and resources for the advancement of workplace diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Camber will be rolling out a number of new initiatives and partnerships in the coming months. 

“I am optimistic, as I take on this role as CEO, to continue the trend of impact by transforming the landscape of workplaces and impacting the lives of those who identify as women and underrepresented groups,” said Smith. “Camber’s work remains emergent, responsive, and flexible to the changing context of the growing and evolving workplaces in the outdoor economy. We will continue to work towards meaningful impact in our critical mission of building inclusive, equitable, and ultimately diverse workplaces in the outdoor industry.”

 

As Smith takes on this new leadership role, Camber will be a black and woman-led organization breaking down barriers that hinder progress to diversity, equity and inclusion in the Outdoor Recreation Economy.

evo Announces Big Plans Ahead of Bike Season

SEATTLE, WA. – Outdoor retailer and lifestyle brand evo has continuously invested in the mountain bike category since 2014, when it first started selling bikes. This year, evo is significantly increasing its commitment to mountain biking with more new product launches and collaborations than ever, new mountain bike evo Trip adventures, and more community giveback initiatives throughout North America. At the Sea Otter Classic, the world’s premier cycling festival, evo CEO Bryce Phillips will keynote the theme of this year’s summit, “Burn the Playbook.”

“evo has been a resource for mountain bikers for almost a decade—from experts, to weekend warriors, to families and beginners but this season we’re laser-focused on bringing more female-identifying riders into the community,” said Phillips. “In 2023 and beyond, evo will offer a suite of offerings across products, experiences, travel, and community that deepens our roots on the trail.”

On the product side, evo will expand its vertical branded goods mountain bike line with the evo Enduro Hip Pack, a new lumbar pack, and evo Essentials Frame and Seat Bag, and a versatile saddle bag/frame bag. Also, evo will be the exclusive retailer to carry the upcoming limited edition Wild Rye x Juliana women’s MTB kit – scheduled to launch in April – and will carry Santa Cruz, Juliana, and Transition in its largest store, evo Salt Lake, located at Campus Salt Lake.

This summer, evo will introduce new evo Trip offerings in famous bike destinations, including Whistler where the brand has five stores and operates the Journeyman Lodge. Leveraging convenient access to   the Wasatch’s amazing trail network, evo will also launch a women’s bike camp based at Campus Salt Lake in partnership with Juliana. This trip date will be announced in mid-April and takes place in September.

Digging deeper into community impact, evo is organizing or participating in more than fifty bike-focused consumer events this year. Among them are women’s-specific maintenance clinics in partnership with organizations like the Colorado Mountain Bike Association and Sturdy Dirty. Evo will also offer women’s suspension tuning clinics at Snoqualmie Pass to celebrate the newly opened bike park. In addition, evo affinity is supporting affinity rides like the Pride Ride and the Women’s Ride and collaborating with brands like 5.10 and Transition on volunteer dig days across North America. Consumers can expect to see evo mechanics at bike races from the Pacific Northwest to the Mountain West to help racers with any issues they may run into mid-race, from fixing a flat to installing a new derailleur free of charge. evo’s neutral support will be at iconic races like the Sturdy Dirty, Cascadia Dirt Cup, WORCA Toonie, and Bike Utah’s Mid-Week Enduro.

Costa Sunglasses grows its hybrid category with frames built for life on and off the water

Mainsail and Aleta define versatility with their stylish design and technical feature set

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.  –  Costa Sunglasses, manufacturer of the first color-enhancing all-polarized glass sunglass lens, celebrates 40 years of making the best sunglasses on the water in 2023 by growing its hybrid category of frames. New to the lineup for the spring, Mainsail and Aleta are your day-to-day sunglasses that stay stylish while relaxed on land and ready to perform while out on the water.

Building off of the success of Costa’s hybrid category –  frames that blend performance features with everyday style – Mainsail (unisex) and Aleta (women’s) are built with the same high-quality materials and features you want from the beach to the big blue. The versatile new frames are just at home reeling in a fish as they are checking surf breaks, voyaging to a remote atoll or exploring a coastal village.

Inspired by the watery world Costa is synonymous with, Mainsail gets its name from the mainsail on a sailboat, and Aleta, from the Spanish word for “fin.” Staying true to their roots, Mainsail and Aleta maintain a relaxed look and feel, while their technical features are ready for anything the water throws at you. Integrated micro side shields and hooding help keep additional light out for an improved view, the vented Hydrolite™ nose pad​ keeps your frames locked in place and helps prevent fogging, sweat management channels and eyewire drains keep sweat out of your eyes, and keeper-ready temples keep your frames from going overboard.

“Our new hybrid category is our most versatile. It has it all, water-ready performance and a stylish, modern design,” says John Acosta, Costa Sunglasses Vice President of Marketing NA. “We took the performance features that Costa is famous for and added them to a more relaxed frame shape that is equally comfortable and durable on any adventure.”

Mainsail and Aleta come with Costa’s polarized, color-enhancing 580® lens technology for next-level clarity. The scratch-resistant lens cuts haze and blur and enhances key colors for superior clarity and definition. Built better with Bio-Resin, Mainsail and Aleta are lightweight and maintain the durability necessary for any watery adventure.

Adventure is fluid, and Mainsail and Aleta are there for the ride. Starting at $182, both are currently available at local dealers or Costasunglasses.com.  For more information about Costa’s full collection of best-selling sunglasses, visit Costasunglasses.com.

Leader of innovative recovery tools joins the launch of Ragnar’s Demo Tent Activation

BOULDER, Colo. (April 04, 2023)- ROLL Recovery, a leader in recovery and athletic performance and innovators of deep tissue massage therapy tools, is delighted to announce its partnership with Ragnar Relays as their official recovery sponsor for 2023. ROLL Recovery, together with selected sponsors, will support the launch of the Ragnar’s Demo Tent Activation to elevate participants’ race experience.

Ragnar recently announced its 2023 US Tour, consisting of nationwide Road and Trail running relay events. Ragnar’s portfolio offers both overnight and single-day (Sprint) formats. During the Ragnar Trail Series, teams of 8 collectively run 120-mile trail relay by taking turns completing 3 loops over the same time span. In the Ragnar Road Series, teams of 12 collectively run about a 200-mile relay by taking turns running legs over two days and one nights. In between legs and loops, runners have the opportunity to rest and experience all that Ragnar has to offer.

New to 2023, Ragnar will host a Demo Experience across its entire series where staff will help participants explore and test new products that improve their race weekend, and in the case of ROLL Recovery, make their recovery days better. In between loops, Ragnarians will be able to use the flagship ROLL Recovery R8 Plus Deep Tissue Massage Roller to recover and get ready for their next leg or loop of the relay. In addition to the R8 Plus, the R1 Percussion Massager, R3 Foot Roller, and the R4 Body Roller will be available for Ragnarians to use as well. After experiencing the product first hand, participants will be offered a Race Day Incentive should they like to make an investment in purchasing the product. In addition to the Demo Experience, ROLL Recovery will also be featured in Ragnar’s Recovery Zone in both road and trail events.

“Undertaking a fun and adventurous challenge like the Ragnar Relays can be a tough feat for the body. As a brand whose mission is to help individuals recover more efficiently and achieve their highest physical potential, we found the partnership with Ragnar Relays to be natural and harmonious,” said ROLL Recovery co-founder Jeremy Nelson. “We are excited to help participants conquer the physical challenge, and to recover better afterward.”

“Ragnar is consistently striving to elevate the runner experience at our events,” said Dave DeBoer, General Manager at Ragnar. “As we launch our new Demo Experience, we’re excited to partner with a like-minded brand such as ROLL Recovery that will provide participants with their best, most epic Ragnar adventure to date.”

REI Co-op releases Trailmade collection designed to welcome new hikers and backpackers

REI Co-op introduces its new Trailmade collection, aimed to accommodate more people’s needs for hiking and backpacking. This collection provides customers with affordable gear and apparel options, including gender-free sleeping bags, backpacks, trekking poles, hiking apparel and jackets, and more inclusive sizing options across the line.  

“Trailmade is all about alleviating the feeling of having to fit into a limited mold,” says Amy Marks, REI Co-op product designer. “We’ve created a line that’s intended to fit more bodies and lifestyles, and help people feel more comfortable outside, without compromising durability and performance.”  

The Trailmade collection was designed from the ground up and guided by insights from members of REI’s inclusion advisory panel of BIPOC, LGBTQ+, body positive and adaptive communities in collaboration with Unlikely Hikers, Latino Outdoors, 52 Hike Challenge, The Venture Out Project, and Fresh Tracks at the Aspen Institute. The panel added feedback to inspire designs that were familiar, approachable to more people, and reduced common feelings of intimidation that frequently come with getting started outside.  

“For too long, we’ve had to make outdoor gear work for us that wasn’t made with our unique access needs—be they fit, function or financial—in mind,” said Jenny Bruso, founder of Unlikely Hikers. “The Trailmade collection is more than an invitation to the table. It’s an invitation to getting our best lives outside.” 

The Trailmade collection is available exclusively for REI members in REI stores and on REI.com through May 1, when sales open to the broader public. Designed to best suit the needs and lifestyles of the ever-evolving outdoor enthusiasts. Highlights include: 

  • REI Co-op Trailmade 20 Sleeping Bag: This year the co-op introduces an affordable, gender-free sleeping bag in a variety of sizes for under $100. This synthetic, 20-degree, mummy-style sleeping bag provides warmth and comfort, even under damp conditions, designed for all body shapes. The bag is available in six sizes including short, short wide, regular, regular wide, long, and long wide sizing. $99.95. 
  • REI Co-op Trailmade 60-Liter Pack: This pack’s adjustable torso design makes it easy for people of different sizes to enjoy or share with a regular fit range of XS to 4X for women, S to 4X for men. $149. 
  • REI Co-op Trailmade Apparel: Includes a variety of tops from fleece layers to rainproof shells, and bottoms from hiking shorts to hiking pants, all available in tall options for men as well as a range of men’s S-XXXL and women’s XS-3X. Pricing varies.
