The Salt Lake Tribune attended the industry-only Outdoor Retailer Winter Market at the Salt Palace Convention Center in January and came up with a list of gear that caught our attention. A collection of the gear ran in a story, but we are posting the items individually on the blog.  Stash 18 backpack from Klymit  Perfect for storing anything needed for a day hike or a long urban adventure, the Stash 18-liter pack from Klymit includes Air Frame Technology and allows users to adjust the air pressure to their comfort. When hikers take gear and food out of the pack it can be used as a cushy seat or even a pillow. Comes in black and yellow. Available May 2015 for $59.95.
