The recently concluded Outdoor Retailer (OR) Winter Market trade show in Denver featured the presentation of the inaugural Innovation Awards at a live ceremony in the Mile High Ballroom at the Colorado Convention Center. The new awards recognize design, innovation and achievement in the outdoor industry, judged on factors that include concept, design, functionality, originality, sustainability and impact.
Judges from the industry chose a dozen products from among 32 entries. PrimaLoft received the Product of the Year award for its Primaloft Bio puffy coat which features the world’s first fully biodegradable fill, accomplished through infusing the 100 percent recycled synthetic fibers with a food source eaten by microbes in soil and salt water in a proprietary process. Eleven other innovative winners were also recognized, for products ranging from sustainable materials to cutting edge footwear, apparel and outdoor equipment for all seasons.
