Stainproof and packable Trailhead Adventure Pant launches on Kickstarter

Trailhead Adventure Pant | Packable, Durable, & Stain Proof

Coalatree, the company that brought us the Kickstarter-funded Kachula adventure blanket, is back again with another must-have crowdfunding product: The Trailhead Adventure Pant. The lightweight pant is as versatile as you are — moving smoothly from a Friday night at the movies to a weekend climb in the mountains.

The trail adventure pants are designed from a cutting-edge fabric that combines recycled ripstop nylon with four-way stretch spandex and dri-fit waterproofing. The material also is stain and odor resistant, allowing you to wear it for longer periods between washing, a bonus for those who multiday hikes. Best of all, similar to Coalatree other’s products, the Trail Adventure Pant is sustainably made using recycled materials and waterproofing methods that are less harmful to the environment and preserve the natural look and feel of the fabric.

Coalatree’s Trail Adventure Pants may wow you with their fabric technology, but it’s the details in the design that impress us the most. The pants have an elastic waist with a drawstring for comfort and a pull drawstring at the waist and ankle that let you adjust the length of the pant. Want a culotte for the gold course and full-length pants for walking in the brush? You got it with the Trail Adventure Pants. Before you bemoan the choice of drawstring, you should know that these are not your typical drawstrings — they are stitch tacked in the back, so they stay secure and don’t pull out accidentally.

Coalatree also added in some reinforced flat felled seams and a gusseted crotch area, which combine to give you a durable pair of pants that flexes with you and won’t fight against your every move. And when you finally decide to change out of the Trail Adventure Pants, you can stuff them into their pocket and toss them in your bag for future use.

Coalatree is selling the Trail Adventure Pant via a Kickstarter campaign with a starting price of $50, which is reasonable for high-end trail pants. The first batch of Trail Adventure Pants is expected to begin shipping in August 2017.

Aventon Abound SR combines thoughtful design, enhanced security, and smart connectivity

Electric bikes are nothing new at this point, and while there are many styles, few purportedly do-it-all, and even fewer actually offer smart or more advanced features. They tend to do one thing particularly well, like cruising, carrying cargo, or sightseeing -- like city riding -- but the biggest way they push the envelope is by offering that long-range electric power. The Aventon Abound SR, a new do-it-all bike, goes far and beyond anything that's come before it.

For starters, it's the first bike equipped with Aventon's electronic control unit (ACU) which empowers intelligent safety features. That gives you 4G and GPS tracking built-in, plus remote locking, an alarm system, and much more. But also, this top-of-its-class bike is incredibly versatile and is suitable for everything from commutes to tough exercise rides and daily routines. It features a top speed of 20 miles per hour, has a range of up to 60 miles per charge, and can carry a payload of up to 440 pounds. Impressive, indeed. Let's take a closer look and get a little more friendly with it, shall we?

Velotric: One of our favorite e-bike brands is having a huge sale right now

Take a minute to browse through the e-bike category, and you'll see lots of options but not many that I would classify as accessible. As far as technology goes, they can be pretty expensive, especially compared to your everyday traditional pedal bike. So, it makes sense that most people would wait until the holiday season, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday, to get a great deal on a new bike. Prices are at their lowest ever, and it's a great time to save some money. But guess what? You don't have to wait until later in November to save big because Velotric, a premium-quality e-bike maker, is hosting a huge sale right now. You can head over now to take a look, otherwise, we're going to explore some of those Velotric e-bike deals that are available.

What are these "Lower-Than-Black-Friday" Velotric e-bike deals?

Velotric is claiming these deals are "better" than Black Friday, so they better be good, right? Don't worry, they are. For example, you can grab the Velotric Go 1 Ebike for $400 off, while still getting it in a bundle that includes two free gears. That price is currently $1,299, normally $1,700. The Go 1 features a 500-watt motor, supports a maximum load of 440 pounds, and can travel up to 55 miles on a single charge. Pretty impressive. It's also designed to lug cargo, like a picnic basket, day bag, or even camping gear. That's mostly thanks to a lower center of gravity for the frame and hydraulic suspension system.
