Item: Banjee Wrist Wallets
Okay, so I am in love with our new Banjees! What is a Banjee you ask? Banjees are "wrist wallets" made of soft breathable material perfect for runners who need to carry some GU or the traveler who wants to be hands free and stash and ID and some cash on themselves. Banjees come in so many colors and patterns and are so functional!
Solstice Outdoors is excited to announce that we will be a part of this great new development in Ashland, Blue Wave On The Bay. Read more in the Ashland Daily Press...

Item: CamelBak Arete 18 Pack
The CamelBak Arete 18 is an amazing ultra-light hydration pack. This awesome pack is only $65 and you get the pack and a 2L reservoir. There isn't much to it; it's a top loader, with a small pocket in the lid and two bottle holders on the side. It'll do well for day-hikes from base camp or a nice day hike to Houghton Falls, Copper Falls, or St. Peter's Dome. When it's time to pack out you can convert the pack into a bladder sleeve for use in another pack. It's only $35 more than the 2L reservoir and you get a pack and a bladder sleeve.
