Snow Peak Offers Sneak Preview of New Retail Space

Attention residents of Portland, Oregon: Snow Peak, the company behind some of the downright sexiest base camp and backcountry gear on the market, is offering a sneak preview of its future retail shop in the city’s hip Pearl District.  Now through December 24^th you can play with their expansive line of high-end camping gear, and check out some of the curated brands that compliment their outdoor-inspired lifestyle like Nau, Westcomb, Fjallraven, and Boreas.

Snow Peak started back in 1958, when founder and accomplished mountaineer Yukio Yamai started making his own stuff because the things on the market weren’t cutting it.  Today his Asian sense of aesthetics still carries through, especially in such products as the Mini Hozuki Lantern, the Hybrid Trail Cookset, and the light, durable Titanium mugs (pictured above) .

The store is located at 410 NW 14^th Avenue (Portland, Oregon) and officially opens in February.

We’ll be profiling more Snow Peak stuff in early spring to rev you up for the 2013 camping season….
