Best Apparel and Sporting Goods Products for Fall 2018
Our North 40 Outfitters team recently attended the Mid-States’ Fall Rendezvous tradeshow. The show, itself, is an opportunity for us to take a good look at products we think genuinely solve everyday problems in the work and play lives of our customers. The show also helps us to spot industry trends in products for the upcoming year ahead.
During this year’s fall show, the trend was innovation. We saw apparel and sporting goods products that are not only great products, they also take-it-up-a-notch in features. For example, we saw a warming jacket that had an app. And, we saw a five-gallon bucket game washer that cleans your gamebirds in a matter of minutes.
Overall, we saw products that had creative advances and new features that we think you should know about. You’ll want to take a look at these…
