Gear
You woke up with a smile because today you’re heading out to the woods for the next big adventure!
Whether you are passionate about hiking 14ers on foot or exploring high-country roads via your van, having the right gear on hand can help make your next outdoor adventure better than ever.
At Antero Adventure Motors, we have rounded up a few of our personal gear favorites from brands we know and love. Check out these top picks and consider adding a few items to your adventure gear collection.
Topo Designs is a brand with deep roots in mountain culture and outdoor exploration. Since 2008, the folks at Topo Designs have been hard at work crafting backpacks that feature classic styling, functionality, and durability.
Recently, Topo reimagined their iconic Rover Pack silhouette as seven distinct bags. These bags are all crafted with premium materials, making them a great pick for the busy adventurer. Available in a wide range of sizes and styles, you can find the perfect Rover Pack for whatever your next adventure brings.
Shop the Rover Collection by Topo Designs and pick up a new pack or two for hiking, camping, and even biking around town.
If you are the type of person most likely to push the limits on 4x4 roads, then GoTreads foldable tire traction mats are a must-have addition to your gear.
These mats help you get out of mud, snow, or sand with ease. Their unique design makes the mats easy to store in small places and using them requires no extra tools, assembly, or particular talent.
With their compact, quality design and ability to get you out of the toughest road conditions, we place this high on our list of items to have for outdoor adventure.
In the words of Cotopaxi, the Teca Collection “keeps fabric out of the landfill, puts thoughtful, limited-edition jackets in the hands of conscious adventurers like you.”
Not only are these jackets designed with the environment in mind, but their reversible and insulated Teca Cálido delivers lightweight and versatile heat.
Thanks to the materials they are made from, these jackets can be stored in compact spaces, making them a great pick for life in a camper van.
While you're shopping Cotopaxi’s Teca Collection, consider picking up a few other outdoor accessories. Cotopaxi’s entire brand is built on doing good and giving back to those in need while delivering premium quality outdoor gear and products.
Your camper van might already be equipped with a fridge that keeps you amply stocked with food and beverages, but sometimes your day takes you to a remote mountain lake or a hike down the beach.
For those days, you need a cooler that can keep your essentials cold but is easy to carry. Otterbox delivers with its new line of outdoor adventure gear.
Their personal cooler with a backpack carrier is compact and lightweight. When it’s not in use, you can easily stow it away, without taking up the space of a traditional hard-sided cooler.
The comfortable backpack carrier features a sleek design and innovative insulation with ample room for up to 12 cans.
To match your new cooler/backpack, consider adding a few of Otterbox’s drinkware tumblers to your collection. Pick from tumblers designed for hot coffee and tea, insulated growlers for your favorite craft beer, and tumblers specifically made to hold your favorite wine.
What could make your next adventure more exciting than exploring new trails on a mountain bike? Lenz Sport Mountain Bikes are made in the USA and feature superior grade aluminum. Each bike frame is carefully designed to maximize strength and durability while still being the lightest in their class.
Additionally, the exclusive Lenz geometry of these bikes’ frames offers incredible comfort when riding on any terrain. With a variety of sizes and styles available, there is something to meet any novice or expert biker’s needs.
What are you waiting for? The trails await!
