This weekend, ISPO (International Trade Show for Sports Equipment and Fashion), one of the world's largest sporting goods exhibitions, is being held in Munich, Germany for four days from January 24th. Manufacturers of all kinds of sports gear targeting the European market, including those in the fields of outdoor activities, skiing, action sports, competitive sports, health and fitness, sports equipment, and materials, are gathering on the expansive grounds to unveil new products for next season and beyond
We will report on the actual event as soon as we have more information, but for now we will be picking out noteworthy outdoor gear, mainly in the "Outdoor" category, from the "ISPO AWARD" announced every year at the exhibition!
