Outside Magazine Announces 2006 'Gear of the Year' Winners
SANTA FE, NM (BRAIN)—After months of rigorous field-testing, Outside magazine announced yesterday the 2006 winners of the magazine’s coveted "Gear of the Year" awards. The 15 winning products—from mountain bikes, surfboards and kayaks to digital cameras, GPS units and sunglasses—represent some
of the past year's standout adventure gear.
The Ellsworth Epiphany won the title in the mountain bike category, and the Cannondale Synapse Carbon 2 took the road bike award.
“Our athletes and experts put these products through the wringer on trips from the Grand Canyon to India, in conditions where quality gear can have a dramatic impact on your experience,” said Dennis Lewon, editor of the 2006 Outside Buyer’s Guide. “We tested hundreds of new adventure-sport-related products to find those with outstanding technical performance and design.
This year’s Buyer’s Guide includes a 40-page special section featuring gear designed specifically for women.
“Athletic women who have experienced the torture of man-size mountain-bike frames or backpack hipbelts that rub in all the wrong places know that when it comes to gear, everything is better when it’s made for you,” said Lewon.
The Buyer’s Guide will be available on newsstands April 25.
