This year at the OutDoor show in Freidrichshafen Germany we saw a over 100 new products that’ll be dropping in 2019.

As always, the chase for the “lightest usable” gear was in full effect. We also saw an incredible number of new and updated climbing shoes and noticed that brands are getting colorful; items that used to only be available in a single color will soon come in 3-6 colors.

Below you’ll find the brands in alphabetical order and prices are in US dollars unless otherwise noted.
