Outdoor Retailer Cool Trends, Gear-Limited Editions/Custom Orders

Outdoor Retailer/SLC
Part 10

Taking its cue from couture-and 3D printing---there has been a growing trend to allow customers to customize their outdoor/athletic purchases beyond moldable insoles…(like TYR googles to Adidas Springblade running shoes)---or to seriously limit the numbers of items…usually because of the hand made, labor intensive aspect of the product.

Sherpa Adventure Gear hand knit Kritipur Sweater Jacket/hoodies-are numbered and signed…and fantastic.
