Adventure Jacket
Outdoor Vitals is dedicated to providing
premium ultralite outdoor equipment at an
a ordable price. The new LoftTek Adventure
Jacket is designed to provide the warmth and
performance of a synthetic jacket with the
lightness and packability of a down jacket.
The jacket features a windproof water-resis-
tant shell that incorporates elastic hems and
underarm vents. The hood is adjustable and
includes a high neck for extreme conditions.
The insulated pockets are zippered, and the
entire jacket is designed to be zipped into a
pocket for compact storage. The revolution-
ary new LoftTek insulation is designed to
mimic down’s extreme weight-to-warmth
ratio while still allowing it to retain warmth in
wet conditions.

OutdoorVitals.comKershaw Antic Folder
The fi rst thing you will notice about the
new Kershaw Antic is the karambit-styled
oversized ring. However, unlike the aggressive
karambit-style blades, the Antic is all about
functional utility. The ring can be used to
attach the Antic to a keychain or a carabiner.
The end of the ring features a mini pry bar
that doubles as a fl athead screwdriver. The
inside of the ring works with the back end of
the handle to create an unobtrusive bottle
opener. The stainless steel handle is covered
in a blue PVD coating and is set up for a
tip-down, right-hand pocket clip. The blade
is just under 2 inches and is locked in place
using a sturdy frame lock. Weighing in at only
3.1 ounces, the Antic provides a lot of utility in
a tiny package.
MSRP: $29.

fi nish. It rides on ZTs KVT ball bearing wash-
ers and features a fl ipper opening system.

titanium and incorporate the steel-reinforced
frame lock and a marbled, carbon fi ber inlay.
The slim pocket clip is titanium and provides
a secure, tip-up carry. Despite its 3.4-inch
