With his dedication to the craft and the outdoors, Buxton is well-equipped to take Blue Ridge Chair Works to new heights and continue the brand’s tradition of producing high-quality, functional, and durable outdoor furniture.

“As a lover of the outdoors and woodworking, it made perfect sense for me to join a company that specializes in bringing people together outside through quality handcrafted furniture,” shared Buxton. “I am excited to bring my personal touch to designs while maintaining the timeless feel for which Blue Ridge Chair Works is known. With my background in making studio furniture, I hope to implement new ideas and influences into the brand all while staying true to our traditions and craftsmanship.”

For more than 20 years, Blue Ridge Chair Works has been dedicated to producing exceptional outdoor furniture that combines durability, functionality, and style. Its mission is to create furniture that not only enhances the outdoor experience but can also be passed down for generations, while maintaining its unique charm.

The GO will be featured there as a multi-month exhibit.

Visitors will have the opportunity to step inside and see the versatile features of the GO camping trailer. The GO is the newest camper on site and represents 18 years of innovation.

“It is an honor to have the GO pop-up camper included in the RV/MH Hall of Fame again because it’s an important part of RV’ing history and one we want museum visitors to experience first-hand,” shared Tom Dempsey, founder, and CEO of SylvanSport. “The GO has become an innovative symbol redefining and bridging the worlds of RV camping and adventure camping, and to this day is one of the best ways to experience the outdoors in a comfortable, economical, and simple way.”

The GO is a deluxe pop-up camper delivering one-of-a-kind comfort and connection with nature while offering universal cargo hauling capabilities, including a variety of gear and recreational equipment such as bikes and kayaks, as well as other hauling needs. At only 840 pounds, the GO is a great option for those who drive EVs and SylvanSport has seen strong traction in that emerging market. The GO has garnered a passionate community of campers and leisure seekers across the country, and has earned multiple recognitions and awards, including an International Design Excellence Award (IDEA) Gold award. “We feel honored to have the GO camping trailer displayed in the museum,” said Ryan Szklarek, Executive Vice President of RV/MH Hall of Fame. “It is a great present-day piece for the museum to allow our visitors a look into modern day options!”

ABOUT REI

REI is a specialty outdoor retailer, headquartered near Seattle. The nation’s largest consumer co-op, REI is a growing community of 21.5 million members who expect and love the best quality gear, inspiring expert classes and trips, and outstanding customer service. REI has 181 locations in 42 states and the District of Columbia. If you can’t visit a store, you can shop at REI.com, REI Outlet or the REI shopping app.

 

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.

• REI Co-op Trailmade 2 Tent with Footprint: This two-door, two vestibule tent is designed with a dome-shaped, two-pole configuration and color coding for an easy set-up. $179. 

• 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.

New Products Hit Shelves April 1st. 

Nikwax, the international leader in technical cleaners and waterproofing products for outdoor gear and apparel, has added to its already wide breadth of products with the launch of its oral care line. Tooth Wash® and Plaque Proof® will be available as both stand-alone products and together in a convenient DUO-Pack.

With Tooth Wash and Plaque Proof, you can maximize your time on the trail and minimize your time brushing, while simultaneously brightening your smile by 112%! See our product video here. 

“Launching into the personal care market just seemed like the obvious next step for Nikwax, and completely aligns with our long-term strategic growth plan,” said Nikwax NA President, Brian Davidson. “Customers already come to us for fast, easy, and safe solutions to make their gear last longer, so why wouldn’t they look to us for ways to cut their dental care time down so they can continue to do the things they love outside?”

As with all Nikwax products, Tooth Wash and Plaque Proof are water-based, PFAS-free, and come in bottles made from 100% recycled and recyclable plastic. Easy color coordinated packaging—Green for Clean, Purple for Proof, are available now at your local Nikwax retailer or dentist. MSRP: $24.95.

Leading outdoor retailer melds entertainment and retail with new eCommerce feature beginning April 1^st

Leading outdoor retailer, Moosejaw, is no stranger to cutting-edge technology. The company that brought you the X-Ray Catalog, which allowed shoppers to purchase apparel and outerwear from top brands, all while seeing what’s beneath them, has launched their latest initiative to bring entertainment to online retail.

Moosejaw Double or Nothing combines the fun of online shopping for outdoor equipment with the excitement of a casino. “We see gamification as the next frontier of online retail,” says Eoin Comerford, CEO of Moosejaw. “With Moosejaw Double or Nothing, customers get to test their luck: their order could be absolutely free… or they could pay double. Only fate knows what’s in store.”

To gamify your shopping experience, just visit Moosejaw.com. When you add a product to your cart, you’ll be given the option to check out using Moosejaw’s new Double or Nothing button. Of course, you can still shop at Moosejaw the boring way, where you know what you’ll pay for that new tent or pair of hiking boots, but they don’t recommend it. “Double or Nothing is really the way to go for this season,” says Kelli Patterson, Moosejaw’s VP of Marketing. “We’ve launched the feature in beta to some of our top influencers to try out, and they all agree they’d never shop the old way again.”
