Summer is the perfect time to take a few days to head to the mountains or the coast. We want to make sure that you’re outfitted with the best gear available so we’ve selected some of our favorite items for this Gear Showcase. Below you’ll find gear to keep you dry during those afternoon storms, tech to stay in touch and powered up, and plenty of gear for your rig.
Summer is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to get kitted up and hit the trails. This Gear Showcase features great options for everything from camp kitchen and solar systems, to bumpers and roof racks from some of our favorite brands.
Truma’s C69 dual-zone fridge/freezer can fit 87 12-ounce cans. It’s relatively efficient in both its size and power consumption. And it has a lightning-fast and easy-to-use smartphone app that makes keeping your food and drink cool on the trail a cinch.
The highlight for many attendees at Overland Expo West is undoubtedly the Overland Expo Foundation Raffle. The event taking place Saturday night, May 17th at the Oasis Bar and Food Court Sponsored by XPLOR brings together thousands of your fellow attendees for an evening of high energy fun, supporting the charitable work of the Overland Expo Foundation. Of course, we’d be remiss in not mentioning the thousands of dollars of overland prizes to be won. That list of prizes is growing longer and longer by the day and new prizes are being added right up until the event itself.
Packing for any trip can be nerve-racking, but when you’re responsible for assembling everything you will need to venture into the backcountry, the list can quickly get out of control.
On every journey, even if it’s just a short overnight, your comfort at night can make or break your trip. A restless night due to a sore back or hours spent shivering in an inadequate may make for a good story, but it’s definitely no fun at the moment.
