Amsterdam, Netherlands — Performance eyewear company VALLON today introduces the Ella and Elmore, a distinct reinterpretation of the classic brow bar aviator, designed for today’s outdoor enthusiasts who move seamlessly between city life and outdoor adventures. Named after jazz legend, Ella Fitzgerald and blues guitarist, Elmore James, these models reflect the collection’s blend of timeless style and enduring character.

Originally developed in the 1950s, brow bars, also known as “sweat bars,” were introduced to stabilize early aviator frames by reducing torsional flex in lightweight metal constructions. Over time, brow bars became synonymous with the aviator style. For VALLON, the brow bar aviator represented an opportunity to revisit an iconic design and give it an update that provided both better utility and distinct style associated with the brand.

Rather than using the wire-frame construction associated with vintage pilot eyewear, VALLON chose to build the Ella and Elmore frame fully in premium cellulose acetate. The result is a more substantial and confident aesthetic, increased durability, and a strong visual identity that aligns with the classic aviator shapes that VALLON has come to be known for.

“We wanted to rethink the brow bar aviator – taking it beyond the traditional pilot frame, and delivering something for a 21st century outdoor enthusiast who’s spending their week in the city, and their weekends out hiking and exploring the backcountry,” said VALLON founder Richard Franck. “Elmore and Ella are a nod to the original silhouettes of classic teardrop aviators, but they come with a detachable sports headstrap and performance lenses to deliver the quality, functionality, and versatility that today’s sports-lifestyle enthusiasts demand.”

At the core of the design is VALLON’s V52® polarized lens technology, high-performance, impact-resistant lenses engineered to deliver exceptional clarity. With an ABBE value of 52, V52® lenses offer some of the highest optical performance available in sports eyewear today. With 98-99% polar efficiency, these polarized lenses effectively cut glare, improve contrast, and offer natural color filtration.

The new release includes two sizing options: Ella: Women’s fit (S – M) and Elmore: Men’s fit (M – L). Both styles are available in three signature VALLON colorways: Sage with Green lenses, Dark Tortoise with Smoke lenses, and Horn with Smoke lenses.

Ella and Elmore are available to purchase from the VALLON website, and through select retailers worldwide.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden – June 17, 2026 – RECCO, a global search and rescue technology, is expanding its long-standing partnership with Peak Performance through the launch of the brand’s first summer product equipped with RECCO technology. With the introduction of the new Ridge HIPE ACE® 3L Hiking Jacket for Spring/Summer 2026, Peak Performance becomes a year-round partner to the RECCO system, reinforcing a shared commitment to outdoor safety and searchability.

For more than 20 years, RECCO and Peak Performance have worked together to help make outdoor adventures safer. By integrating RECCO reflectors into products designed for mountain environments, the partnership supports professional rescue teams with technology that can help locate missing or injured people in the event of an emergency.

The Ridge HIPE ACE® 3L Hiking Jacket is designed for hiking and mountain activities during the warmer months. It combines lightweight weather protection with an added layer of safety for outdoor enthusiasts.

“Integrating RECCO technology into our summer collection marks an exciting next step in our long-standing partnership — helping to keep hikers searchable so they can stay focused on the trails ahead,” said Michael Eriksson, Product Developer R&D at Peak Performance.

The RECCO rescue network continues to expand globally, with the system now used by ski resorts and search-and-rescue organizations on more than 900 locations across 32 countries. RECCO continues to grow both its ground-based detector infrastructure and its helicopter-based capabilities for search and rescue, helping professional rescue teams improve response times in remote outdoor environments.

“We are proud to continue our long-term collaboration with Peak Performance as they expand RECCO technology into their summer product range. This launch represents an important step forward in helping make outdoor enthusiasts searchable all year round,” said Fredrik Steinwall, CEO of RECCO. “As interest in mountain activities continues to grow globally, we see increasing demand for effective search-and-rescue solutions, and we are excited to continue expanding the RECCO network across the world together with strong partners like Peak Performance.”

The Ridge HIPE ACE® 3L Hiking Jacket is available in stores and online as part of the Spring/Summer 2026 Peak Performance collection.

For RECCO, this marks another milestone in a period of continued growth, with its rescue network expanding steadily.

Red Lodge, Mont. (June 17, 2026) – Crazy Creek Products, the originators of the legless camp chair and trusted innovators in outdoor seating, announces the launch of its newest product: the Paddle Chair XL, a self-inflating, waterproof lounge chair designed specifically for paddle sports and water-based adventures. This chair adds to the existing Paddle Chair series, now offered in an extended lounge version, which brings even more comfort and versatility to the water.

“The Paddle Chair is for people who take their time on the water seriously,” said Greg Henry, Senior Director of Operations at Crazy Creek. “Whether you’re in a kayak, on a paddleboard, or posted up at the water’s edge, it brings the same go-anywhere durability Crazy Creek is known for. The Paddle Chair XL is a perfect example of comfort that travels with you, where you choose to take a seat.”

Lying flat, the Paddle Chair XL measures 48 X 16 x 1″ thick. However, when ready for chair mode, just double the bottom cushion, and the seat measures 16 x 16 x 2” thick.

Designed for ultimate versatility, the Paddle Chair is ideal for use on rafts, paddle boards, and kayaks. With its self-inflating design, users can let air in or out to customize their comfort on the go. The waterproof construction ensures durability on wet surfaces, while integrated drain holes in the bend prevent puddling, keeping you dry and supported no matter where the journey takes you.

True to Crazy Creek’s commitment to rugged performance, the Paddle Chair XL features carbon-reinforced fiberglass support stays. Its high tenacity nylon hinge system adds long-lasting flexibility and resilience, both in and out of the boat. Built with extra-durable TPU-coated 600D ripstop polyester, the chair is designed to withstand the wear and tear of demanding environments, from riverbanks to rocky shorelines.

Despite its strength, the Paddle Chair remains highly portable. It folds compactly for easy storage, features carry handles for effortless transport, and can even be unbuckled and laid flat to accommodate two people—perfect for relaxing after a long paddle or enjoying a waterside picnic.

The Paddle Chair XL retails for $139.95 and is available now at www.crazycreek.com and at retailers starting summer 2026.

Boulder, Colo. (June 17, 2026) — Access Fund, the national advocacy organization for sustainable access and conservation of climbing landscapes, is calling on climbers to speak up in response to newly released climbing management guidance from the U.S. Department of the Interior and U.S. Department of Agriculture. The guidance—issued by the National Park Service (NPS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and U.S. Forest Service (USFS)—stands to shape how America’s climbing is managed for decades to come.

The climbing management guidance is required under the Protecting America’s Rock Climbing (PARC) Act, a bipartisan law passed in 2025 as part of the EXPLORE Act. The PARC Act directs federal agencies to recognize climbing activities, including the placement and maintenance of fixed anchors, as an appropriate use on federally designated Wilderness. It also allows climbing routes established before January 4, 2025, to be used and maintained in perpetuity—ensuring historic climbing areas like El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, the Diamond in Rocky Mountain National Park, the Cirque of the Towers in the Wind River Range, and Rainbow Wall at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area remain accessible.

Before the guidance is finalized, NPS, BLM and FWS are required to accept public comments for 60-days, which opened June 15th. The USFS guidance is open to public comments for 30-days, starting June 18th. To ensure the final guidance keeps America’s climbing areas open, protects historic climbing areas, and retains the integrity of Wilderness areas, climbing and outdoor communities need to come together to show strong and unified support. We’re asking climbers to learn more, and submit comments using our easy letter-writing tool at accessfund.org/take-action.

The draft policies align with the PARC Act and previous federal policies that allow standard climbing safety practices while protecting wilderness character. The NPS, BLM, and FWS draft policies address only Wilderness climbing management, while the USFS draft policy applies to both Wilderness and non-Wilderness climbing areas—roughly 30% of America’s climbing. The four draft policies share the determination that fixed anchors are allowable in Wilderness, but differ in technical elements. The draft guidance is an important course correction from the 2023 NPS and USFS proposals that would have restricted climbing access, created safety risks, erased historic climbing routes, and imposed costly management burdens.

Access Fund supports the draft policies; however, it is recommending several essential technical revisions and clarifications, including consistent fixed-anchor definitions, and practical new climbing route management and fixed anchor maintenance.

“America’s public lands offer a wide range of exceptional climbing experiences. When climbing in Wilderness areas, climbers need to exercise restraint and low-impact practices to maintain the character of the land, and ensure that future generations have the opportunity to experience these wild spaces.” said Heather Thorne, Executive Director of Access Fund. “The draft climbing management guidance can be improved, but the spirit of the policies protects America’s climbing legacy, and the spirit of adventure.”

Climbing and outdoor brands that supported the PARC Act through its legislative journey are joining Access Fund in encouraging public comments. Companies like Black Diamond are helping spread the word to their communities about why this moment matters for the future of America’s climbing.

“At Black Diamond, our equipment helps climbers push farther, explore deeper, and experience the full spectrum of climbing opportunities on America’s public lands.” said Jess Powell, Advocacy & Sustainability Manager at Black Diamond Equipment. “We’re pleased to see an approach to climbing management that helps protect access to climbing adventures while supporting the stewardship of the landscapes that make them possible.”

How to get involved

Climbers are encouraged to learn more and submit comments at accessfund.org/take-action.

About Access Fund

Access Fund is the national advocacy organization that leads and inspires the climbing community toward sustainable access and conservation of the climbing environment. Access Fund represents more than 8 million climbers nationwide in its work to protect and conserve the land, fight for sustainable access, and build a community of inspired advocates. Access Fund staff have more than 100 years of public policy and advocacy experience and have permanently protected nearly 4 million acres of public land across the country, establishing climbers as a powerful voice in the fight to protect public lands.

RENO, NV (June 17, 2026) – Therm-a-Rest^®, maker of high-quality, innovative gear designed for comfort and performance, is expanding its award-winning Boost™ sleep system collection for Spring 2027 with the introduction of the new Boost SN™ 32F/0C synthetic sleeping bag. The brand will also introduce a refreshed Spruce colorway for its popular Boost 650™ down sleeping bag.

Developed in response to growing demand for a synthetic alternative to the original Boost 650, the new Boost SN 32F/0C delivers the series’ signature spacious comfort and adaptable warmth with 85% recycled polyester insulation. Featuring Therm-a-Rest’s expandable WarmZip™ technology, the Boost SN creates a roomier sleep experience without sacrificing packability or trail-ready performance.

“When Boost 650 launched in 2025, Therm-a-Rest set a new standard for spacious comfort and versatility in down sleeping bags,” said Chris Davis, Therm-a-Rest Product Line Manager. “We quickly heard strong demand from campers and backpackers looking for those same benefits in a synthetic option, particularly for wetter climates and variable conditions. Boost SN builds on the success of the original design by pairing our expandable WarmZip system with recycled hollow-fiber insulation in a surprisingly packable and affordable package, helping more people stay comfortable and sleep better outdoors regardless of the forecast.”

The original Boost 650 returns for Spring 2027 in a new Spruce colorway while retaining the same comfort-first design and performance features that helped establish the series.

Together, the additions to the Boost collection reflect Therm-a-Rest’s ongoing commitment to creating more adaptable, comfortable, and environmentally conscious sleep systems for campers and backpackers.

PORTLAND, OR (June 16, 2026) – Snow Peak, the renowned Japanese outdoor lifestyle brand, and Oregon-based Jacobsen Salt Co, America’s leading salt and premium pantry staple maker, today announced the debut of limited-edition finishing salts available in three separate drops over the remainder of 2026. Inspired by seasonality and rooted in craftsmanship, Snow Peak and Jacobsen Salt Co. collaborated to create three original flavor profiles that reflect Oregon’s coastal waters alongside rich Japanese culinary inspirations.

Imagined by two brands steeped in craft and influenced by nature and its seasons, these finishing salts celebrate the art of intention. This collaborative collection launches on June 18th with Sansho (MSRP: $18), a blend of hand-harvested pure flake sea salt from the pristine waters of Netarts Bay on the Oregon Coast, and a citrusy, aromatic Japanese pepper that balances a tingly heat with a bright finish. Additional seasonal flavors will be released throughout the year.

“Collaborating with Jacobsen Salt Co. was an instinctive choice for Snow Peak. Our brands share a simple, profound belief: that life is best experienced when we slow down to enjoy time together. Their process is rooted in the purity of natural sources, and their flavors are guided by the rhythm of the seasons,” said Snow Peak USA COO Noah Reis. “Together, we’ve created a culinary extension of both the Snow Peak and Jacobsen Salt Co. lifestyles – one that encourages people to gather outdoors and connect deeply over exceptional food.”

“We have always believed that the best food starts with a reverence for the source and, whether designing outdoor gear or cultivating community, Snow Peak shares that ethos. This collaboration is a true meeting of the minds,” said Gabe Jacobsen, CEO of Jacobsen Salt Co. “We’ve combined the pure, elemental texture of our Oregon Coast sea salt with storied, offering our customers a completely unique seasoning experience. We’re thrilled to partner with a brand that values the intersection of flavor, narrative, and gathering just as much as we do.”

In addition, Snow Peak’s Portland-based restaurant Takibi will curate a seasonal dish and cocktail featuring each limited-edition finishing salt. In June, Takibi will offer Aftersun, a new cocktail with tequila blanco, chareau, pineapple, lime, house sansho tincture, fire bitters, and Jacobsen Salt Co.’s Sansho Salt rim. The seasonal dish at Takibi is a Big Eye tuna carpaccio. Simultaneously, Jacobsen Salt Co. will share a companion recipe, allowing outdoor cooks and home chefs to recreate the seasonal flavor profile on their own adventures.

The Snow Peak x Jacobsen Salt Co. collaboration will be available for purchase online at Snowpeak.com and Jacobsensalt.com, and at Snow Peak retail locations, as well as Jacobsen Salt Co.’s Netarts Bay Gift Shop
