Cool New Outdoor Gear - GEARBLAZER

We were looking for the ultimate headphones for running and we think we might have found them in the Sennheiser PMX 680 Sports Earbud Headphones ($80). These sport headphones are a joint effort from adidas and Sennheiser. They aim to provide top quality sound, a great fit, and resistance to sweat, grime, hold, and water.

The headphones offer two earbuds with optional foam earpads. They fit comfortably on your ear without having the buds stuck inside the ear canal. The rest of the headphones is placed over each ear with the neckband clear behind the head. They have a snug yet comfortable fit thanks to slight inner tension of the flexible band. It’s not too tight nor too loose. The headphones are made to universally fit any size and shaped head.

The Keen Howser Slippers ($60) seem to be the perfect partner for any cabin experience. It has the look of a puff jacket, warmth of a sleeping bag, and the versatility of natural rubber outsoles.

The Howser features a soft microfleece lining for toasty feet and Gore elastic side panels for easy on and off. It also comes in multiple color options.

Eat, drink, and be merry on your next camping trip with this GSI Outdoor Stainless-Steel Nesting Wine Glass ($13). This wine glass offers compact storage by unscrewing the plastic base and snapping it into the rim. It holds 10 fl. ounces of your favorite beverage and weighs only 4.7 ounces. Now, the real decision is if you need a bottle of red and white!

A new twist to brightening up your campsite is this Snow Peak Hozuki LED Lantern ($90). This unique and versatile lantern offers three brightness settings and and runs on 4 AA batteries for 40 hours of operation on low.

The outside shade of the lantern is made from durable silicone rubber and the integrated hook allows the lantern to be hung for added use.

A neat feature of the lantern is its “candle mode” which allows the LED to respond to sound or wind with flickering light.

Perfect for the RV, traveling, or even car camping, the Mainstreet Classics Table Top Air Powered Hockey Table ($35) would make an awesome stocking stuffer this holiday season. It’s small, lightweight, and runs on 8 AA batteries. Thanks to our friends at Makais.com we were able to get our hands on one to review it.

When we first received this item, we were definitely skeptical to whether it could perform as well as a real full size version.  The table measured a mere 22″ x 12″ x 4.25″ so it was definitely small enough to fit on most tables or be thrown into the trunk of your car.

After opening the box, we discovered that the table included two pushers, two pucks, as well as parts and screws to build the goals. You definitely need a Philips head screwdriver to complete the table and we were slightly disappointed that it didn’t come with the 8 AA batteries needed to start playing right away.
