…friends! Take a look inside our 2009 catalogue and see what we’ve been making to help expand the fun and inspiration of your next adventure. If you’re new to the Pacific Outdoor Family, then we’ve got some work to do to tell you about what we do and how we do it. Initially, Pacific Outdoor Equipment is a company that’s hard for most folks to describe but our mission is really quite simple. We’re not an environmental company, but we are innovators that care about the environment. We aren’t a sewing factory but we make great fabric based outdoor gear. We aren’t a company that’s so big as to forget about all the customers and friends who have helped make us successful — because chances are, we’ll see you on the trail or on the river. We’re a small company, with an eye on the big, blue planet, which builds

innovative gear from welded fabrics for human powered sports. Some days we feel like we’re reciting the twelve points of the scout law, but what we have done is distilled our motivations down to 4 points on our companies compass: good gear = less waste, if it isn’t fun why do it, do everything with a code of integrity and responsibility – do no harm, and innovate relentlessly. We take this compass into the mountains and rivers around Bozeman, Montana, where we’ve established our operation, so we can develop gear in real time, in real conditions, and allow the products to evolve close to their origins. Of course we care what our accountants say, but we know that true success is measured by how many extra nights our customers spend in the outdoors. Before we tell you about 2009 and what we’re doing new, how we’re continuing to innovate and what stays the same, please let us take this opportunity to say, “Thank

this is our philosophy.

Pacific Outdoor Equipments’ 2009 line is rolling with the times; we’re continuing to focus our energy on building gear that will go the distance, whether on the trails and rivers, on your bike or in your daily life. Global resources are limited and we all need to make a commitment to making gear that lasts and is worth keeping around. We call it “Good Gear = Less Waste.” The Peak Oyl Series pads are part of a market transformation in our manufacturing process that we’re undertaking in an environmentally sensitive area we haven’t addressed before. The series are the top performers of three and four season backcountry use with minimalist weight Diving into what’s new; we’ll start with our continued commitment to improving our paradigm shifting sleeping pads.

In our paddle sports products, we continue our dedication to PVC Free paddle sports items. Our Global Commute collection has two extensions for biking activities with the Randoneer and One-Less-Car Series. Both utilize easy mounting R&K hardware, generous reflective accents, and an innovative approach to construction and load stability on the bike. With gas prices rising and global warming issues at hand, our new bike items help make daily bike use a reality. So if we can do anything for you, or if you are headed to Bozeman for a visit, please give us a call, drop us an email or stop by and say, “Howdy!” We’re here to support your pursuits and make sure you’re out having fun. Have a great 2009 and go do something to make the world better, get outside for some fun and focus on the blue around you!

Good gear should equal less waste, especially at a time when “Only six percent of the US Economy’s flow of materials actually ends up in products.” (Ayres, 1999) a. james - pipestone, montana

it takes a few small acts & a whole lot of balance:

We take sleeping pads seriously. It is not just a business for us, but a quest. We like to help people get a good nights sleep. How do we do that? We make sleeping mats that are designed to enhance your sleep system, by directly matching the attributes of the sleeping pad to those of your sleeping bag. You know the key details like the right insulation for the seasons, the right length for you, the right gender, and of course the right amount of weight savings or cush. Without matching these attributes to your sleeping bag, you are at the mercy of the weaker link.

“Only one percent of the total North American material flows ends up in, and is still being used within, products six months after their sale.” (Hawken, Lovins, L. Lovins, 1999) This equates to a huge amount of “waste” being put into the landfills, that can’t be sustained. As Al has pointed out in his slide show, we need to

So the next time you think about sleeping outdoors ask yourself some pertinent questions; what season of use is my pad for? Is it my size? Is it built specially for my gender? Is it supportive enough? Is it the right weight? If your pad doesn’t match up with you and your needs then maybe it s time to go talk to your local specialty Outdoor Retailer and see how Pacific Outdoor can help you improve your sleep system.

Anti-Fungal Treatment All of our open-cell foams are treated to prevent fungus and bacteria from growing inside your pad.

Our innovations include: specialized foam cores, performance fabrics, unsurpassed construction and meticulous quality control. Foam structure determines your comfort level. From both the support and insulative perspectives all our pads are made with highly structured open cell polyurethane foam that yields high R-values, fast inflation times, surface smoothing support, and long-life resilience. In cold conditions, your pad plays a significant role in maintaining your warmth while sleeping. Highly structured foam and activity specific cores provide for the maximum insulation to weight ratio. We’ve designed a variety of foam cores to match the needs of specific users, from alpinists to car campers.

Diamondback / Oval Back Our proprietary relief surface technology increases surface friction and adds to the net insulation factor for a toasty low-slip sleep. Specialized Fabrics We design and source fabrics for each and every pad style we make with a sharp design eye on performance and durability.

how we make our sleeping pads:

Sticky Low-Slip S Graphic A PU Screenprint enhances your stickability; reducing slip head to toe. DWR Finish Our durable water-repellent finish helps to protect your mat from wetting out and picking up stains. A true performance enhancing feature. Air Loft Thermo Berm (on select mats) Insulated raised side rails keep you on the pad.

pieces & parts defined:

Lateral coring minimizes bulk, reduces fill time, and maintains very high R-values. Our Matrix vertical die cutting eliminates weight and bulk substantially, while the narrow diamond shape of the die cut maximizes the insulative value of the pad, via internal air motion resistance. We use a variety of shell fabrics to hold it all together. Chosen for its exceptional weight savings, durability and redeuced planetary impact, we use Recycled PET DRS on all self-inflating Peak-Oyl series pads. Going for a little more substance? We thought so. So, on select pads we add a low slip, Soft-Top and Sticky-S that helps keep your bag in place. On the bottoms of our lightweight inflatables, we use tent-floor tough, 70D nylon. Because the fabric won’t do its job without the appropriate airtight coating, we coat all of our fabrics ourselves, to ensure the maximum in bonding and long term performance, with minimum weight add on. Our valves are hard anodized aluminum, (Nylon on Traditionals) in a solid urethane foundation, for the utmost in ease of use and reliability. We pay attention to the details so you won’t have too. Enjoy, and rest easy.

Pacific Outdoor Equipment’s sleeping pads are the culmination of a few bright ideas, lots of research, long hours of contemplation, and another healthy dose of time in the field. When we log hours in the mountains and on the rivers, we see the true test of our success. Empirical data only suggests outcome. The field is where it’s proven.

same superlative performance as you’ve come to expect. The palm is not a food replacement crop, nor GMO, but it is not without its issues, which we are actively working to resolve. Even with its issues, it is a step in the right direction, because it helps to bring about a market transformation – weaning us off the petroleum that is so prevalent in all the products we use today. This brings us two more small steps moving us closer to big change. So, how did we do it? We started by taking a few steps away from the design table, and looked at sleeping pads from a distilled perspective. Without doing this we would have fallen into the trap of insignificant incremental improvements. Incremental changes would have compromised performance significantly, while only shaving a microscopic amount of weight. Instead, we have deconstructed the entire concept of a backpacking sleeping pad, pulled all the pieces apart and rebuilt pads in this new qualified form. Jumping out of our roles as product designers and

Even with an incredible combination of features like a fully die cut foam body, insulated, bermed side rails, grip trail and lightweight aluminum valve the Peak Oyl-Lite continues to maintain its lightweight benchmark. The low bulk, streamlined mummy shape further reduces weight and overall pack volume and an included stuff sack and repair kit help protect and maintain the pad in transit and in use.

into USER, we asked the question, “What do I want a sleeping pad to do for ME?” This led us directly to combining our two most successful sleeping pad designs, and establishing the breaking Peak-Oyl. The end results are the lightest, most compact, most comfortable, best insulating sleeping pads; without compromise. This is just what you expect from Pacific Outdoor Equipment.

hyper series Paring closed and open cell foams the Hyper Series remain on the cutting edge of functional design. Using EVA as a base layer allows us to achieve high insulation value at a lower overall weight and the open cell foam insert adds an additional level of comfort and warmth. By melding the two you get the best of both materials for far less weight and bulk than a traditional layered system of open cell pad on top and a closed cell pad slid in on the bottom.

Thicker EVA, a thicker open cell insert, and a layer of Aerogel in the torso and foot combine to make the Hyper High Mtn our lightest, most insulative pad. In extremely cold conditions the pad provides superior insulation even if the comfort insert is compromised providing an almost failsafe layer of protection.

When planning what to wear to sleep think about your extremities where there is a high rate of heat exchange and loss. Put a hat on, dry socks gloves, etc. Never leave home without a HAT!

cruiser series Inside our Cruiser and Traditional mats is an innovative wedge cut foam that puts support and warmth were you want and need it. What this gives you is a pad that sleeps thicker than it weighs. Combine this with our strategic lightening methods and you get the most comfortable pad possible in its weight category.

Luxury doesn’t have to come at the expense of increased weight or bulk and the Cruiser series proves this. Wedge cut along their lengths from 1.5 to 0.75 inches in the lites and 2.0 to 1.0 inches in the mtns the Cruisers pile more foam comfort in the torso and the velvety, 75D air textured polyester fabric tops and 75D poly bottoms afford superior comfort and durability. These features along with zonal drilling, die cutting and a modified mummy cut create compact comfortable pads fit for any 3 or 4 season adventures you might dream up.

Wedge and die cut foam create less weight and bulk while keeping foam piled up in the torso area where you need it for both comfort and insulation. One inch foam sleeps like one and a half on a Cruiser Lite and the air textured poly fabric feels great against bare skin.

Cylindrical die cuts in the hip create more support for the hips and a solid foam foot area provides increased insulation on cold nights. Wedge cut and sized right in a Petite 66 inch length to heap comfort where it’s needed and cuts unneeded weight. The air textured poly top adds an extra level of buttery softness to an already superior nights sleep.

Slightly thicker than its lite sibling the Cruiser Mtn uses drilling in the torso to remove weight while maintaining higher insulation than a traditional die cut. Wedge cut from 2.0 inches to 1.0 inches this pad weighs the same as a 1.5 inch pad but keeps the comfort in the torso for an unparalleled nights sleep.

Drilled and die cut in the torso and leg area to cut weight and maintain insulation but drilled in the foot to lighten but still keep your lower extremities toasty in colder environs. Wedge cut foam puts more foam in the torso for increased comfort and the petite 66 inch length trims weight that would normally be superfluous in a regular length version.

kids series s. bretson

Our kids products are all about what more you can do with them in your life rather than what you can’t. We build our pads and chairs to be compact for Mom and Dad, who get to haul them, but also comfortable and fun for the little folks who get to use them.

hot series Pacific Outdoor’s Patent Pending Hot! Technology is the first sleep enhancing active heat, self-inflating sleeping pad. As a critical component in all sleep systems, sleeping pads place much needed insulation under the sleeper. Now your pad doesn’t just lie there, it actively participates in helping you stay asleep. Your first questions are probably “What?” and “How?” Well, here at Pacific Outdoor Equipment, we set out to make a pad that actively responds to the sleeping environment and to help your body overcome the biological response triggers that wake you. Part of what we realized was that keeping you asleep was ambitious enough and we didn’t need to be overzealous and keep you at a balmy 100 deg F all night. So we set off to work smarter, not harder and created an active heat system to give your body the help that it needs to stay sleeping comfortably as long as possible.

Kids Traditional

Kids Mat

Kids Chair

The more economical version of our lightweight Kid’s Mat uses a solid piece of foam for increased insulation in a wider range of climates. The screen print functions as a growth chart so you can keep track of how old, how big and how many trips they’ve been on.

Smaller dimensions and die cutting throughout the pad make this pad both light and compact for Mom or Dad to carry but is still comfortable enough so the wee ones have a better chance of sleeping through the night. The screen print functions as a growth chart so you can keep track of how old, how big and how many trips they’ve been on.

Here’s a chance for our little friends Alexis, Carmen, Michael, Lily, Cooper, Joshua, Nicholas, KaiBob, and Alexandra to have a seat of there own. With separating buckles it also makes a great nap or changing pad. Sweet ZZzzzzs.

Now how we did it. We buried in the foam two thin film heating elements under your torso and another under your feet, which are key zones of sensitivity. We then added a thermostat inside the sealed chamber of the fully bonded mat to make sure we were adding energy to your sleep system when you needed it and didn’t cook you when you were already warmed up. And if that’s not enough, we added a cycle timer so that when the heat is running we don’t spike the heat only to let you get cold real fast when the thermostat kicks off. These two controls give the heating cycles a very gentle and subtle effect. Summing it all up; you simply sleep more comfortably. Enjoy the rest.

Different materials and designs require different methods for assembly. You’d be amazed to see the machinery and the handcraftsmanship involved in making just one of our products. To bond some materials we use the tried-and-true method of radio frequency welding. The materials are die cut and placed in dies on the welding machine. Charge is supplied and within a matter of seconds, the materials are fused in an inseparable watertight bond.

waterproof welding:

a. james

Three-dimensional shapes and our special urethane coated materials are made for each other. Take a look at the compound curves found on the back panel of our portage packs. In this process, the bag is drawn to a mold and then heat and pressure are applied. The urethane that has been pressed into the fabric is transformed into a molten material and just as steel would bond on a molecular level to form a weld, so does our composite fabric.

Welded, coated fabrics provide the foundation for our highly refined group of paddling and commuting products. Materials are connected using not just one type of welding, like most factories, but three: Thermal, Radio Frequency or RF, and HF which is a combination of both Thermal and RF. We control the process from start to finish, ensuring quality and by matching the best welding method to the best materials and design we provide optimum performance as well as the best fit and finish. There are no more intricately designed, highly functional, weatherproof bags out there. So, set your sights, plan your trip and pack your Pacific Outdoor Equipment.

To round out the offering we offer bilge sponges and compression dry sacks making it simple to completely outfit your boat.

When it comes to water repellency in the case of drybags it’s important to think of their waterproof abilities in differing levels of defense. Generally spray is no problem. A short dunk is also not much of an issue as long as it is brief and surrounding water pressure isn’t allowed to exert a force greater than that of the rolled down fold or zipper. At the extreme, having a bag circulating in a hole on the river and continually being pulled to the bottom, could cause some minor seepage. In anticipation of this possibility, important items could be rolled into a semi-transparent bag and then further rolled into a lighter-weight fabric dry bag to ensure a second layer of defense.

Pressure + Time of Exposure

This is an extreme but relative example in terms that illustrate the force water pressure can exert and at what level your dry bag will be able to repel it. Plan and pack for the worst drenching you could expect.

waterproof vs submarine:

Canoe Seating We also have canoe specific seating! See page 53.

H20 Transmission

Another way to look at these levels of defense is to think of your bag in the same terms as a bulletproof vest. Up to a certain caliber, the vest will protect you. Pellet guns aren’t really a threat at all, whereas a .44 cal could pose a possible problem and a cannon will most certainly exert enough pressure to ruin your day.

Not everyone enjoys playing chicken. For the rest of us, visibility is a very good thing when you ride your bike, walk, or do anything where it’s you versus a car or truck. You can guess who will win. As bag makers, we have always provided you the one up by adding some form of reflective on the backside of your bag. Large strategic placements of reflective have been highly successful as added safety. Now we’ve added another 270 degrees of visibility with the addition of our new reflective buckle. As prismatic reflectors, these buckles ride at your left and right hip and on your sternum to provide a bright return of light to oncoming traffic. Just one more part of your safety net.

Eco Commute Our quest to reduce our overall impact inspired our design direction for the EcoGlobal Commute bags. We built this special edition grouping of our favorite Global Commute styles using renewable carbonized bamboo fabric, recycled PET webbings and wicking meshes, up-cycled buckles and sustainable kapok padding in the backpanel. You know the big little details; e.g. the buckles, while still using nylon, they utilize 40% reclaimed material and this helps us stay away from food crop replacing GMO corn based materials. We also offset the energy used in production and shipping to your local retailer by purchasing Green Tags (RECs) in the equivalent amount, effectively giving the collection a Carbon Neutral footprint. With limited Special Edition availability, check with your favorite retailer or drop us a line and we’ll help you track one down.

Welded seams and waterproof fabric keep everything dry if your Sumo happens to stomp in a puddle.

The Aji has the same great features, welded seams and waterproof fabric as its larger sibling, the Sumo, but in a smaller package for folks looking for a more compact package or with smaller, shorter torsos.

A not so simple tote, ready to perform double duty both at the market or the beach. With the zippered closure you can keep everything contained or overload it and trust in our extra durable 420D fabric and welded seams. An internal pocket keeps essentials within reach.

Duffel Liner

Zip Duffel

Welding a zipper at the mouth created a new firewall for the TSA agents to break through when searching this bag and provides the extra bit of security needed when traveling the world. New daisy chain webbing eases the chore of strapping to a Yak and a handy purge valve eases compression. Both the large and x-large include built in backpack straps in case a Yak isn’t available for trekking across the concourse.

Be sure to double bag it for extra protection. If you’re looking to protect your gear, or to improve the life of your duffel, throw a Duffel Liner into the mix. Closed cell foam pads this liner and keeps the wide mouth of the bag open while packing but doesn’t inhibit the roll when your duffel is ready to travel.

The Zip Duffels are sized to haul the overflow that doesn’t fit in your courier or satchel. The weather tight, zippered main compartment, welded seams and a welded slash pocket on the outside mean your gear stays protected and easily accessible. Straps over the top suck up extra space or let you lash your sticky mat on top. Pick it all up with the Velcro wrap handle or sling it with the padded shoulder strap. The small size is a perfect carry on companion.

Everyday things we usually take for granted actually have brilliant design principles executed in their construction and all are built to coexist perfectly with their surrounding environments. Add in millions of years of feedback loops and you have the makings of a pretty good field test team.

living design applied to the design of outdoor gear. Emulating Mother Nature can be tough – from materials to

what a whale can tell you about staying dry in the woods:

shapes – she’s had a head start on getting her designs right. However, we were fortunate to have over 20 bright engineers, scientists, and designers who were eager to throw it all in and go for broke. One thing’s for certain: biomimicry is the future of engineering and product design. Building a product with cradle to cradle principles is what Mother Nature does and what we should be doing too. A big thank you to the schools mentioned above for their tireless efforts and participation. Stay tuned to our website for updates on the project.

Ground Tarps

At the top. Pick a shelter. 1 Something that will keep you out of the elements: wind, sun, and rain. Pick one that you can set up quickly and that has a balance between weight, durability, and protection. Then you need an insulator to keep you warm. 2 One on top and the other beneath. 3 Insulation is key for both. Protect the bottom side from objective hazards. Put down a ground tarp. 4 A little cold? Beef things up by slipping on a hat first and then add a layer. Put on some clothes or slip in a liner. Think of sleeping as a system.

Three sizes provide superior protection from the ground and fit the needs of 1 to 4 sleepers. Grommets in the reinforced corners and sides of the larger sizes help keep this tarp in place when you sleep or provide added wetness protection when strung up. With sewn, taped seams and tough waterproof PU coated 70D nylon, use a G-Tarp ground cover and an S-Tarp shelter to compliment your lightweight sleep system. Each tarp packs into a convenient attached stuff sack.

potential overhead assistants: Large trees with overhanging branches (make sure there are no widow-makers hanging around), or a pair of trees between which you can set up a slack line to pop up the middle of the shelter without poles. Tie a hitch around a trekking pole or stick with your guy-corde and pop up or stabilize a corner. Use another trekking pole to create the entrance. It’s all about using what Nature presents you. Anything from a lean-to to a pyramid can be created with a good POE tarp.

comfort chairs

Base

Base Extended

Stretch Base

A compact and comfortable chair is hard to come by. Our Base Chair is both. We’ve enhanced the comfort by making the foam run the full length of the chair with no central seam. The durability’s also been beefed up by putting the support stays towards the outside edge underneath you. This feature allows the 2-inch web covering to take the beating, not the fabric.

The best camp and concert chair just got better…for tall folks. Complimenting our full support flat stays, stout materials and bomber construction we added 5” of height to stretch the back support.

Just like the Base Chair, but with an extra fold-out padded section adding huge multi-function capabilities. Unbuckle it from the bottom and wrap it around a stadium or canoe bench for stay-put seating, fold it out for some extra insulation and cushion under your legs or extend it flat and use it as a closed cell sleeping pad.

canoe chairs Paddling down our local river - the Yellowstone - is a wondrous journey. Wondrous and long. Long enough that your backside might find itself either sleeping or complaining. Mount a canoe seat to your thwart seat and you’re on your way. Fold the seat flat and sit on the double cushion while you’re making some time on the flat water. Getting turbid? Slide off the front to your knees for some better stability and rest your tush on the padded seat edge. Mix it up and you’ll definitely have a happy tail at the end of the day. Paddle and enjoy…

Easy

Chair Converter

Bento Seater

Simple straightforward seating at a great price is sometimes all that’s necessary. We do it one better with a mesh pocket for optional extras. The Easy will exceed your expectations.

Our 20” and 25” width Chair Converters give you yet another option for seating. Fold over each end of your sleeping pad towards the center, stuff them into the sleeves, place on the ground, sit and enjoy.

The Bento is perfect cushioning for day hikes or ski tours where a little lunch is planned. It’s light, compact construction and ability to fold down tight means it takes up very little room so it can travel inside or strapped to the outside of your pack.

Blue is the new green and the old green. As we all strive to return our planet to a stable healthy state, it is helpful when enthusiastic good environmental stewards help us to refocus on what really matters, while we all get distracted by the buzz of daily life. Because of the seriousness of our planetary situation that we have all embraced, Green has become the rally call of the eco marketer in the US, and unfortunately has started to become a part of the background noise as we try to distinguish what is meaningful and what is not. If you have been abroad, you would know that for years there has been a similar environmental movement growing in other countries. Their goals however are more likely the result of practical needs and less altruistic or marketing driven. These groups rally around the color Blue — blue sky to breath and blue water to drink and grow with. It makes sense — we think that blue really does wrap it up and refreshes our focus on what really matters for today, and the future. Please join us in going Blue.
