A Quick Look At Our OTS Visit June : 25 - NEW KIT ALERT

Hello, Its been a while!

Back in June we visited the Outdoor Trade Show in Liverpool.

In short its a trade show for the outdoor sector and takes place at the Exhibition Centre at the Kings Dock : Liverpool.

We've posted about it before, and the reason we do so is to showcase what's new and potentially going to be hitting our store in the near future and also into 2026.

As usual we will try and keep it short and sweet!

Lets start with Twist Distribution who is operated by Damon, Twist is our supplier of KELTY USA and Sierra Designs.  We already sell both of these brands as well as use them ourselves.

A great range of products covering camping, car camping/ overland and Hiking.

If your not familiar with the brand and love the above activities , we highly recommend you check them out.  And when you do, be sure to look at the award winning range of flex capacitor backpacks.  "available in store and online"

Take a look at the stand below to see just some of the vast ranges available.

Next up we have JOBE,  

like the above brands we already stock and personally use JOBE products.

However they have now introduced some NEW paddleboards at a fantastic price range.  The new range is called the LITE SERIES and starts at around £259.99 for a full kit ready to hit the water "pump / paddle / sup / bag", and the range is still backed by the 5 year warranty.  The range consists of a 8.6 , a 10.00 and a 11.00ft.

They have also introduced a new colour way in the GAMA kayak "atlantic green" which you can see below "the GAMA is ideal for a family paddle / super stable and easy to control"

There's also a new colour in the CROFT KAYAK "sunset purple" and a brand new kayak the AXOPAR ADVENTURE GAMA "part of the jobe gama range"

If you are interested in any of the these NEW JOBE products please email or call us as they are currently not listed on our webstore but they are available to order "correct as of 15/07/25" and if you mention this BLOG POST and place a forward order we will throw in a free JOBE GIFT.

Moving on now to FOUR CORNERS TRADING who we currently purchase a small range of sunday afternoon hats and caps from "durable/ stylish and affordable headwear" one of the artist series caps has been my go to work cap for years now and its still as good as the day i got it....see below

But four corners have plenty of other brands to offer, And two that caught our eye at the show are CEBE and WOOLONA.

CEBE eyewear was founded in 1892 and has been active ever since making high quality eyewear to help you conquer a variety of environments and adventures and striving to push performance.

WOOLONA was established in TURKEY in 1952 and shapes its products with unmatched quality of Merino sheep wool.  WOOLONA manufactures natural merino clothing with a fantastic range of base layers to keep you adventuring further.

What do you think of these brands ? could they be a good fit into our ranges ?

On to SWANNDRI....

With classic ranges continuing and new ranges due to arrive , we are super happy to continue offering you the SWANNDRI brand, take a look at what's new ...

Some of the above wont be due right away, but be sure to check our new arrivals and social feeds to stay in the loop.

 

Cooling and Power .... with Dalesman International.

We've ordered with dalesman pretty much since our beginning, Mainly concentrating on UCO gear with a few bits of NEBO/ True Utility thrown in the mix to.

Relatively recently they took over the distribution of IGLOO which we've also stocked a few bits of over the last couple of years, and we have recently just re stocked on the classic IGLOO playmate mini.

The stand looked fantastic with this el camino taking center stage .

Tucked around the other side of the stand was some awesome new kit from DOMETIC. DOMETIC acquired IGLOO back in 2021 and now has a select few products distributed by dalesman.  So the DOMETIC brand will 100% start to show up in our store and on our website very soon.

 We are likely to start with some of the smaller coolers "the colours are fantastic" as well as the Go hydration Water jug and Faucet which you can see below.

To explain a bit more, on the top shelf you have the 11L Go Hydration Water Jug and boxed below the Go Hydration Water Faucet "tap" , These two items combine to give you running water at the campsite or in your camper van/ overland rig.  The Tap is one touch operation and has a large capacity battery that can dispense 150L per charge, Its also very rugged and comes complete with a magnetic base, Making it ideal to use around your camping rigs and camping tables.  It also has a handy LED to make nighttime use much easier .  

If you are interested in more information regarding the dometic range please drop us a call or email as many of the items can be ordered now.

 

see what we mean about the colours!!

Opposite to DOMETIC was the rest of the kit on offer from Dalesman, With the likes of UCO gear not having anything new moving forward , GERBER having a couple of new items and NEBO launching this hefty new power pack range

The NEBO intrepid 1000 really caught our eye "pictured above" it offers 1200W of smooth and efficent power that is safe to sensitive devices like medical equipment but alos powerful enough for larger appliances and tools.  

It can charge from 5% to 100% in under 2 hours and allows for an output surge up to 2400W so you can run power tools and appliances with heating elements that require more power to start up.  

Its absolutely loaded with features so we advise you to check out the full specs over at nebotools.co.uk and let us know if we can help regarding any further questions you may have as well as pricing and ordering.

Next we move over to NEW HEIGHTS, This company has so much to offer its hard to keep track of.

Browse the photos below to see just a small selection of the brands and kit they offer.

One brand we're exited to see the return of is ROBENS "which you can see above" as they offer such a vast range of outdoor kit and the new style packaging looks great to.

Another worthy mention is SOTO stoves from japan, We've been out of stock of the SOTO brand for a little while and its a great seller and exceptional quality so we will be re introducing it very soon, which actually links us to the next stand .....

NORTH STAR BRANDS

So north star brands is not only new to us, its also a completely new business within its self, owned and operated by James who we hope to be dealing with very soon.

James offers a range of brands including ZEN CAMPS, And this is the link to SOTO above as they offer a small compatible table that works with one of the SOTO stoves, which we think is awesome!

Pictured here - 

The whole range is really interesting and were keen to get your thoughts ?

James at North Star also offers some beautiful outdoor clothing from VIKING 

Aswell as ALPINA helmets, which we would love to sit along side some of our cycle related gear from THULE and also introduce into our winter sports range.

They even have hydration covered with BOBBER BRAND

So with what James has to offer at North Star Brands, We are looking forward to working with him to introduce some of the above into our ranges.  And in doing so support another small business.

This leads us to the end of the photos we snapped, we could have taken loads but in all honesty its such a busy show that time really is precious.  We could also ramble on loads more about all the other brands we deal with or have spoken to but we want to keep these blogs as short and as information rich as we can.

Some brands worth mentioning before we say goodbye -

Keela Outdoors - love seeing and dealing with keela and we really need to update our offerings so watch this space for some great new technical kit and some lovley new country style gear.

Camp climbing has a new distributor in the UK so you will also see the camp brand returning to our store.

Tecnica footwear from ultra sport, we've since met with andy and are due to place our next order for the next year.

Leki some exciting new gear and also potential of adding in AKU footwear.

Primus and Silva - updated ranges coming

BUFF.... now manufacture socks? who knew that was coming, Currently testing a pair.

As usual, if you've made it this far we thank you for taking the time, and if you have any questions we would love to hear them below or why not drop them in an email to info@outdooradventurer.co.uk .
