New and interesting gear we’ve discovered this month.

Inselberg Centile Hoody

$640 | 390g

The Centile is an advanced insulated jacket from New Zealand-based clothing brand Inselberg. It was developed in collaboration with Everest guides for optimal high-altitude performance. This is achieved by combining 850 fill-power ExpedDry water-resistant down with body-mapped synthetic insulation for moisture-prone areas and a 15D outer for durability.

Nemo Tensor Extreme 

$449.95 | 554g 

The Tensor Extreme Mummy has a class-leading R-value of 8.5, making it the warmest ultralight mat on the market, yet it maintains a packed size to beat many three-season mats. It’s a plush 9cm thick, with four layers of thermal film sandwiched between 20D upper and durable 40D base fabrics.  

MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoes

$799.99 | 1946g 

The Paragon binding on MSR’s top tier snowshoe has been redesigned for greater comfort, control and freeze-resistant security with a wider range of footwear. This technical snowshoe is well suited to New Zealand’s often variable snow conditions and rugged terrain.  

Old Bear Classical Knives

From $67.99 | 35g+

Old Bear is a traditional knife brand produced by Italian knife manufacturer Antonini. Light and practical, these knives have a classic rotating-ring safety mechanism, corrosion-resistant blades, and come in a range of sizes and colours.
