Innovations in Gear: Westfield Outdoors® Unveils Next Season Must-Have Products at Outdoor Retailer Show

 

In the world of outdoor gear, staying ahead of the curve means not just meeting the needs of campers but exceeding them. Westfield Outdoors® has done just that with a lineup of products that blend cutting-edge technology with the timeless joy of being outdoors. Known for pushing boundaries in outdoor gear, the company's latest collection introduces trailblazing designs that prioritize comfort, functionality, and smart innovation—meeting the needs of today’s modern camper like never before.

Cooler Mornings, Better Sleep: Day Break™ Tent

The Day Break™ Tent is a prime example, integrating nature-inspired technology to keep you cool and comfortable. Unlike conventional tents that can overheat, our tent is equipped with a photoreactive fly that drops interior temperatures by about 12 °F, and the side panels crack open the moment the first light hits. This natural cooling process ensures you wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day, no matter the outside temperature.

“Day Break ™ was born after one too many mornings boiling in a nylon sauna. We copied the desert beetle’s trick for shedding heat—thanks, Mother Nature,” says Darin Webb, EVP Product Development at Westfield Outdoors®.

 

Fast Setup, Strong Shelter: Neo-Dome™ Air-Frame Shelter

Then there's the Neo-Dome™ Air-Frame Shelter, a revolution in portable shelters. This tent can be set up in minutes, thanks to its innovative air-frame technology, making it perfect for last-minute adventures. What sets the Neo-Dome™ apart is its strength; it can withstand strong winds and harsh weather, providing a reliable shelter in any environment. And for those who care about the environment, the Neo-Dome™ is fully recyclable, meeting the growing demand for sustainable products.

 

Stay Cool, Stay Comfortable: Chill Chair

When it's time to kick back, the Chill Chair is the ultimate necessity for post-adventure relaxation. It's not just a seat; it's a cooling system. Active cooling technology makes sure you stay comfortable even on the hottest days. Whether you're sitting by the campfire or taking a break from a long hike, the Chill Chair is your ticket to uninterrupted relaxation.

 

Gentle Motion, Maximum Relaxation: FlowMotion™ Chair

For those who like to keep moving, the FlowMotion™ Chair is the perfect choice. This chair offers a smooth, rocking motion that mimics the gentle sway of a hammock, providing a soothing experience after a day of outdoor activities. The ergonomic design and durable construction make it the perfect companion for any camping trip, ensuring that your relaxation is as enjoyable as your adventures.

Reimagining Outdoor Living: Gear That Reflects Modern Values

Connected Convenience

Technology in the outdoors should serve a purpose—and that purpose is solving real-world campsite challenges. If it doesn’t streamline setup or enhance comfort, it doesn’t make it past the whiteboard. That’s the thinking behind the BoomTube™, a multifunctional lighting and audio system that brings customizable ambiance to your campsite. With dynamic lighting effects and user-friendly controls, BoomTube™ lets campers personalize their space while staying fully immersed in nature. It’s tech that makes sense outside.

Sustainable Transparency

In 2026, Westfield Outdoors® is introducing a Digital Passport for every new product—a powerful tool that gives consumers full visibility into how their gear is made. From material sourcing to manufacturing processes and environmental impact, this digital record promotes transparency and empowers conscious choices. It’s a new standard in accountability, helping customers align their purchases with their values while pushing the industry toward more responsible practices.

“Today’s consumers want more from their outdoor gear—they’re looking for products that support healthier lifestyles, align with eco-conscious values, and elevate everyday outdoor moments,” says Bryan Nelson, COO at Westfield Outdoors®. Westfield Outdoors® meets this demand through thoughtfully curated brands: Timber Ridge®, BusyBee®, and Forge Creek®. Each item is designed to help you unplug, recharge, and reconnect—because time outdoors isn’t just recreation, it’s restoration.

“Our strategic brands — Timber Ridge®, BusyBee®, and Forge Creek® — are at the forefront of this movement,” Nelson says. “Each designed to enhance the quality of time spent outdoors. Whether you’re cheering on your future soccer star from the sidelines, deep in the woods on a hunting trip, or simply unwinding in your backyard, we believe that time outside is a vital investment in mental clarity and cherished memories.”

Navigating Industry Disruption: Proactive Global Sourcing Strategies

 

In a rapidly changing global market, proactive sourcing strategies are more crucial than ever, and Westfield Outdoors® is leading the charge. They recognize the inherent risks in relying on a single source of materials and have taken significant steps to diversify the supply chain.

“By building a balanced and diversified Country of Origin strategy with strong production capabilities in Vietnam and Cambodia, we have not only mitigated the risks of supply chain disruptions but also positioned us to accelerate growth,” says Bryan Nelson, CO

O at Westfield Outdoors®. “This foresight allows us to stay competitive, maintain continuity, and expand our market share, ensuring that our customers always have access to the highest quality outdoor products.”

A forward-looking approach has been a key driver of Westfield Outdoors’® growth. They began addressing the challenges of fentanyl and reciprocal tariffs long before they became widespread issues in the industry. By doing so, they’re able to put in place the necessary controls and find alternative supply sources that allow Westfield Outdoors® to continue to provide customers with the high-quality products they expect. This commitment to quality assurance is evident in their recent showcase at Outdoor Retailer 2025 where they unveiled the patent-pending Cooling Chair, Glider Chair, Flowmotion® Chair, and E-Wagon. These products are not just affordable; they are built to ensure that outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy their adventures with confidence and comfort.
