The Zeus Power System

The 20,000 mAh Zeus is a flashlight and dual USB Charger with enough power to jumpstart even the largest trucks on the road dozens of times. It can recharge your iPhone Plus from 0 to 100% up to 10 times. It can provide light for days on end. For the times when there’s nobody at the other end of the jumper cables, the Zeus will get you back on the road and back on schedule.

With the Zeus, you can have power on demand without having to carry along cumbersome jumper cables. Instead of unruly 12 ft. cords, this portable battery jump starter is so compact and lightweight that you can conveniently stash it in your dashboard. Using smart high-level voltage multiplier technology, the four battery cells inside your portable jump starter power at the same time in order to turn over really big engines.

Triage Kit

The new Triage Kit ($49.99) re-imagines the ultralight emergency kit and provides a complete solution to get cyclists, skiers, and outdoor adventurers out of any sticky situation. More than just a few band-aids, the Triage Kit is an expertly curated first aid and gear repair kit, packaged in a compact, waterproof, durable envelope.

Designed to have everything you need to fix yourself, and your gear, during short adventures where lightweight protection is necessary, the Triage Kit includes 12 essential tools and supplies to get through a variety of emergency scenarios; from a broken binding to a flesh wound. It weighs only 7.3 oz., is the size of an iPhone, and it’s unique envelope shape was designed to fit perfectly in chest pockets, bike jerseys and backpacks. Reflective surfaces make finding the Triage kit easy, and each piece was thoughtfully selected after hundreds of interviews with outdoor professionals to provide everything you need, and nothing you don’t.

Rapid Raft
The Rapid Raft ($399.99) was designed to fulfill a military request for rapid deployment and re-packing for fluid transition to the water. The raft’s patented design, which can be inflated and deployed in under 45 seconds without the use of any tools, allows emergency personnel, military, hunters, and adventurers quick movement across bodies of water.

The Rapid Raft weighs roughly 3 pounds and packs up smaller than a loaf of bread. Design features like a larger rear volume and rockered front gives it the ability to safely carry up to 400 pounds; guaranteeing a stable, balanced ride even under load. The Rapid Raft is the smallest and most packable raft available to consumers and offers sportsmen, boatmen and everyday preppers a unique tool for transport, access or evacuation.

SEVENTY2 Pro

The SEVENTY2 Pro ($499.99) maintains the original model’s iconic design and functionality, while offering substantial upgrades that make the kit an even more effective tool for preparing two people or more for emergency situations lasting 72 hours and beyond. Transparent and upgraded interior pockets, re-designed frame, shoulder and hip straps, additional external pockets, improved attachment systems, and improved load-bearing capabilities make the already capable system stronger and smarter. Upgraded and in-house designed tools and additional goggles, hats, air masks, gloves, space blanket, and food make the SEVENTY2 Pro the new standard for daily, professional use in extreme situations.

Wiley X

Wiley X high mass impact tested frames and lenses must withstand the weight of a 1.1 lb. pointed projectile dropped from a height of 50″ to ensure that your eyes are protected from unexpected impacts. Frames and lenses must withstand the High-Velocity Impact of a .25″ diameter steel ball fired at 150 fps (ANSI) or .15 projectiles fired at 640-660 fps (spectacle VO Ballistic).

Fine dust and pollen, as well as wind, can cause long-term eye irritation, such as Dry Eye Syndrome. Peripheral light can also diminish optical clarity. Wiley X patented removable soft foam Facial Cavity Seals block out even the finest irritants and peripheral light, protecting the eyes and allowing polarized lenses to perform at peak levels.

WX TIDE

They protect eyes from fine dust, pollen, irritants as well as peripheral light. They feature Shatterproof Selenite Polycarbonate lenses that meet the MIL-PRF-32432(GL) ballistic standards, are 100% UVA/UVB protection with distortion-free clarity.

Balega

UltraGlide

Balega aims to eliminate the most common ailment among runners with its innovative new UltraGlide sock. Many runners struggle with ‘hot spots,’ a pre-blister state that can lead to the formation of a blister. The UltraGlide is specifically designed to prevent hot spots with Balega’s unique, friction-free technology and will be available online and at specialty retail stores at the beginning of August.

  • Strategically placed, varied density cushioning pads, designed to protect the most vulnerable weight-bearing areas of the foot from blisters;
  • Balega’s proprietary Drynamix® fibers which wick moisture away from the skin, thereby reducing the friction potential and mechanical stress in the heel and ball of the foot, keeping feet cool and dry
  • Friction-free yarn that wraps around the first metatarsal head to the first toe joint to account for bunions or arthritic deformities;
  • Anatomically-shaped left/right construction with seamless toes to minimize exposure to blisters;
  • Heel tab to protect skin from blisters commonly caused by the friction of footwear near the Achilles tendon.

“For more than 15 years, Balega has offered solutions to many of the common problems runners experience, and each Balega sock collection is created for a specific purpose,” explained Tanya Pictor, Vice President of Marketing for Balega. “If you are prone to hot spots when you run, the UltraGlide is for you. With targeted cushioning, medium-low volume, and a non-cushion flat knit structure, this highly technical new sock offers a friction-free running experience without the bulk.”

The snug arch bands provide support and a compressive fit while ventilation panels offer breathability. The cushioned V-shaped band on top of the foot offers relief from shoelace pressure, and the double tab liners hold your sock securely in place. Unique to all Balega products, these socks are hand inspected for quality and feature a hand-linked toe closure system for a seamless, non-irritating fit.

The new UltraGlide socks will be available August 1st and will retail for $16 MSRP.

Limited Edition Lesedi Hidden Comfort

Since its inception, community and helping those less fortunate has been a cornerstone of Balega International. This year, Balega is proud to launch a limited edition collection of Hidden Comfort socks to benefit the Lesedi Project, Balega’s non-profit organization and give-back initiative to strengthen South African and American communities.

For every pair of Limited Edition Lesedi Hidden Comfort socks sold, $1 will be donated to the Lesedi Project. Lesedi, meaning “Light and Enlightenment,” is a project Balega spearheaded in 2004 to give back to its community. Through the Lesedi Project, Balega has been a proud partner of the Ethembeni School, home to disabled and visually impaired children from predominantly rural areas of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Balega’s partnership drives the school’s scholarship program, allowing 12 designated children to attend free of charge.

These young learners, who face challenges many of us will never experience, are a constant reminder that anything is possible. Through the guidance of their teachers and leaders, the students learn that nothing is out of their reach, and with perseverance, consistency and a bit of patience, they will accomplish great things. Receiving only 30-percent of its funding from the government, the Ethembeni School is reliant on outside sources to maintain their unique teaching programs.

Each of the six new limited edition Lesedi Hidden Comfort socks will be sold with a matching beaded bracelet made by the children of the Ethembeni School. The limited edition collection will be available in select retail stores on November 1 and will retail for $15 MSRP.
