The PD40R V3.0 can project a maximum output of 3,000 lumens and a stunning beam distance of 500 meters.
SHENZHEN, China, August 18, 2023 (Newswire.com)
– Fenixlight Limited, a professional provider of mobile lighting tools for more than 20 years in the lighting industry, launched the Fenix PD40R V3.0 this past July. This flashlight is an upgraded version of the very successful PD40R V2.0 introduced in 2019. In terms of operational parameters and design, the new PD40R V3.0 has been improved to make it more comfortable for users.
The upgraded third-generation mechanical rotary switch design offers simple and convenient operation for users. This upgrade combined with the multiple slip-resistant vertical grip-strips on the surface has vastly improved the accuracy in output selection.
This mechanical rotary switch casing also has the ability to shield against high-intensity magnetic interference, which allows the flashlight to operate normally in an industrial environment even when exposed to complex and intense magnetic fields in an industrial environment.
The new SOS setting is perfect for emergency signaling. It can enhance safety if you experience any trouble outdoors. In addition, the independent heat-dissipation fins greatly improve cooling efficiency and prolongs the service life of the flashlight due to less thermal abuse on circuitry.
As part of the upgrade, the Luminus SFT-70 LED in the PD40R V3.0 replaced the old LED in the PD40R V2.0, allowing the PD40R V3.0 to project a maximum output of 3,000 lumens and a stunning beam distance of 500 meters.
The Fenix PD40R V3.0 includes a titanium-coated body clip and is capable of tail-standing for additional versatility. Its compact size is absolutely ideal for everyday carry. Rugged and reliable, this flashlight can also serve as a useful self-defense tool in emergencies.
When planning your autumn outdoor activities, consider bringing along a PD40R V3.0 to help light up the beautiful night. With its reliable and powerful illumination, you’ll be able to explore the great outdoors with ease and confidence.
Fenix has more than 20 years of experience manufacturing and selling reliable and durable mobile lighting products, including high-performance flashlights, headlamps, bicycle lights, camping lanterns, and lighting accessories. Fenix products are widely used in professional fields such as outdoor, military, security, industrial, etc.
MESA, Ariz., February 24, 2023 (Newswire.com)
– FUNBOX® is saying farewell to Mesa, Arizona, as the World’s Biggest Bounce Park® is preparing to close its doors in just a few days. FUNBOX® spent 12 weeks at Superstition Springs Center, 6555 E. Southern Ave. in Mesa.
While in Mesa, AZ, FUNBOX® is proud to support Sunshine Acres, a foster youth charity that has provided homes to more than 2,000 children since 1954. FUNBOX® founder Antonio Nieves is a former foster youth himself and is passionate about advocating for children who are aging out of the foster care system. Thanks to the support of FUNBOX® guests, a large donation to Sunshine Acres has been made.
Activities to enjoy at FUNBOX® include Tumble Temple, Marshmallow Mountain, Gumball’s Gallop, and an obstacle course. By coming to the World’s Biggest Bounce Park®, a difference has been in the lives of children who need it the most.
FUNBOX® final weeks of the World’s Biggest Bounce Park® in Mesa are approaching. As a thank you to the community, ticket prices have dropped from $22 to $9 for the last couple of weeks. Tickets are available on the FUNBOX® website.
A dangerous wintery mix has hit Central Texas this week. With some of our animal enclosures exposed to the elements, temperatures this low severely strain our facility so we must get our Town Lake Animal Center shelter pets in warm homes TODAY. We’re calling on our community members for help needed NOW:
1. Foster homes for cold shelter animals
We need our animals, especially our dogs, out now until Friday. To help complete the form.
2. Other help for shelters we support
Many neighboring cities’ animals are also at risk during weather emergencies like this, and are often far less resourced than Austin. Long term fosters also needed for dogs coming in from San Benito
3. Education and help for community pets
Read and share this checklist to protect pets where you are.
Bring pets inside. The best thing you can do for your pet is to bring them inside with you. While some breeds of dogs are more tolerant of cold weather than others, no pet should be left outside for long periods of time when it is below freezing (32ºF). You know your pet best, so be vigilant about watching for signs of their cold tolerance and limit outdoor activities accordingly.
Check your car for cats. Our feline friends like to hide from this weather in car engines and/or wheel wells, so thump the hood of your car a few times and check your wheels for stowaways before you start the engine and take off.
Provide a makeshift enclosure for outdoor animals. If you’ve noticed outdoor cats or other animals in your community suffering from the cold (shaking, curled up, etc.) and you are worried about them, create a makeshift shelter for them to stay warm in. A closed box or Rubbermaid bin with a cut out in the side, with towels or blankets, will help keep them safe in the frigid temperatures. Click here for example directions for cat shelters from Alley Cat Advocates and click here for more on what to do for dogs in the cold from Best Friends.
Or consider opening your garage slightly (and leaving a heating pad or heat lamp on) to let cats in from the cold.
Put a sweater on your pup. If you have a dog with a short coat, you can keep them a bit more insulated by putting a sweater or dog coat on them. Be sure the sweater and coat are completely dry for each outing, though, as damp or wet outerwear could actually make them chillier.
Check paws. After outdoor activity, check your pet’s paws for any signs of cracking on the paw pads, redness between toes, or bleeding. Wipe them down after each outing, too, to remove any salt, ice, or chemicals.

When Jason Chen coined the term gorpcore in The Cut back in 2017, he wasn’t discovering a new trend — he simply put a label on an aesthetic we were already familiar with: fashion that leans towards the outdoorsy, informed by what you might see on a hiker or a camper, with an emphasis on the utilitarian. But it occupies a gray area between technical apparel and something a little bit more zeitgeist-y, like normcore.
Gorpcore went mainstream in the mid-2010s when celebrities like A$AP Rocky and Frank Ocean started wearing Adidas Terrex AX3 GTX Men’s Trekking sneakers and Arc’teryx jackets. Demand for these brands skyrocketed, both from consumers and other players in the market: This ushered in a series of collaborations — North Face and Supreme, Columbia and Opening Ceremony, Fjallraven and Acne Studios — that continue to this day. (Just last week, Reformation announced a capsule with Canada Goose.)
Gorpcore has flourished into its own subcategory in the market. And in recent years, it’s evolved to intersect with the luxury world on a whole new level.

Dior x Birkenstock, Jacquemus hiking boots, Prada’s hit nylon accessories — okay, the latter technically is a re-issue, but still: All of these are a testament to gorpcore’s popularity among shoppers. (The Lyst Index of 10 hottest products for Q3 of 2022 included both the Birkenstock Boston Clog and the Patagonia Better Sweater fleece.)
“Essentially, gorpcore became the new luxury streetwear,” says Lorna Hall, director of fashion intelligence at WGSN. “Its active functionality was truly performative to those buying into it — hence the infamous TikToks demonstrating a jacket’s waterproof credentials [by] standing in a shower or throwing bottles of champagne at it.”
It’s only growing in resale, too: Searches for “gorpcore” have been on the rise on Depop among its loyal customer base of teens and twenty-somethings, according to Augustina Panzoni, the company’s trends and category manager. Brands like Arc’teryx, The North Face and Salomon are driving greater traffic than ever, especially for vests, rain jackets, technical pants and bags. But Panzoni calls out Prada, Dior, Jacquemus and Loewe as luxury brands that have crossed into the space.

Gorpcore gives these younger consumers the opportunity to mix and match different aesthetics together and express themselves. They tend not to be loyal to a single brand, nor can they necessarily afford an entire luxury wardrobe. By jumping (and cashing) in on this aesthetic, luxury brands have provided more aspirational options to those able to afford them; but it’s an aesthetic that’s still attainable on a budget.
TikTok has also helped. Panzoni points to the viral trend of people wearing Arc’teryx’s Gore-tex jacket in the shower while listening to “Arc’teryx” by YG; searches for Arc’teryx rose almost 200% in the last quarter on Depop.
Meanwhile, for the brands that originated gorpcore, this recent trend is an opportunity to expand their clientele and stay relevant.

In 2021, The North Face teamed up with Gucci on a collaboration of groovy backpacks, colorblocked coats, Gucci-North Face monogramed puffers and heavy-duty boots. Launchmetrics reported that in just four months, the collection accumulated a whopping $15.3M in Media Impact Value. That same year, Arc’teryx partnered up with Jil Sander on a line of jackets, bibbed trousers and one-pieces that marry aesthetics and utility. More recently, on Sandy Liang‘s Spring 2023 runway, models walked out in ballet-inspired outfits paired with Salomon hiking shoes, creating an interesting juxtaposition between the designer’s über-feminine style and tougher footwear.

Teva has seen a similar resurgence in the age of gorpcore, embraced by everyone from Kendall Jenner to Chloe Sevigny — and it’s only kept growing since the pandemic.
“We carved out this unique space for ourselves in the fashion market with our statement sandals, and now with our lifestyle boots, but we really saw an acceleration of comfy-casual trends winning during the pandemic” says Julia Feldman, associate product line manager at Teva. (The brand alluded to a luxury collaboration on the horizon.)
Also on the footwear front, Collina Strada — a beloved New York label that’s often inspired by nature and driven by sustainability — introduced a collaboration with Melissa that’s generated a lot of buzz. Their Puff Sandal is futuristic-style hiking shoe that’s both funky and sporty, inspired by founder Hillary Taymour’s own lifestyle.
When it came to designing the shoe, it was equal parts about the aesthetic and functionality. “We made it so you could literally hike up rocks and jump into an ocean — it’s the coolest water-functioning shoe I have ever seen,” Taymour says. “Wear it with a pair of socks in the fall, with cargo pants or a dress, and it’s still a statement shoe. I feel like anything that’s multi-functional and can be worn for different types of outings is very much the Collina way.”

So what’s behind this new wave of gorpcore — one that toys with luxury — surging years after the trend first emerged? To a certain extent, it’s a reflection of our sociopolitical climate.
“In streetwear, the mood and mentality always fits the times, and there’s a very definite element emerging of ‘harderwear for hard times,’ which aligns the aesthetic and performance to the dark geopolitical and economic mood music” says WGSN’s Hall. “The narrative is less about outdoor pursuits and weather functionality, more about survivalism.”
As for what’s to come, some predict the next step for gorpcore is to go digital.
“Streetwear is also starting to respond to the meta economy, where we see performance streetwear increasingly being influenced by metaverse/gaming and fantasy aesthetics,” says Hall. “The question is: Should they lean into these shift, or is it a step too far from their true extreme/outdoor DNA and therefore too big a risk?” Only time will tell.

New offerings add convenience and layers of defense against fleas, ticks, mosquitoes & flies
Press Release –
Mar 17, 2022
AUSTIN, Texas, March 17, 2022 (Newswire.com)
– Wondercide, the leader in safe and effective pest protection for pets, people, homes, and yards, announced a new lineup of plant-powered products debuting this spring. The first to launch was the Mosquito & Fly aerosol spray ($12.99 MSRP), and now through April, three new products expand the company’s Flea & Tick offering for dogs and cats. Flea & Tick Shampoo ($19.99 MSRP), Flea & Tick Collar ($19.99 MSRP), and Flea & Tick Spot On ($19.99). These new solutions continue the Wondercide approach to Treat Nature with Nature™.
NEW Mosquito & Fly Product
For indoor and outdoor use, the Mosquito & Fly is a plant-powered aerosol spray designed to quickly kill mosquitoes and flies, with the ability to kill over 20 other bothersome bugs, such as drain flies, fruit flies, gnats, and more.
Powered by geraniol and lemongrass oil, this spray kills by contact and, when used as directed, is safe to use around kids and pets. The aerosol is propelled by carbon dioxide (CO2) and does not emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or lower indoor air quality. Once empty, the container is recyclable. Available now at Wondercide.com and Amazon.com.
NEW Flea & Tick Products
The entire lineup of the new Flea & Tick products features natural cedarwood and peppermint oil with a fresh peppermint scent. In further innovation, the Flea & Tick Collar and Flea & Tick Spot On offer pet parents added convenience and a safe alternative to conventional spot drops and collars when used as directed. Flea & Tick Spot On, Collar, and Shampoo will be available for purchase online at Wondercide.com, Amazon.com, Chewy.com, and pet specialty retailers in the U.S.
The Flea & Tick Shampoo is Wondercide’s first liquid shampoo. Made for dogs and cats four months or older, it kills fleas and ticks by contact and repels them, making the shampoo an excellent first step in treating an active infestation or as part of an ongoing flea-and-tick maintenance routine. The shampoo is free of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and helps soothe itchy skin from bug bites.
Flea & Tick Collar comes in two versions – one for dogs (up to 23″ neck) and one for cats (up to 13″ neck). The water-resistant collars are designed for pets four months or older and offer up to four months of continuous protection against fleas and ticks, up to one month of protection against mosquitoes. The collars feature a breakaway safety feature that will protect pets if a bit too much tension is applied.
As with all Wondercide products, these new solutions are powered by plants and safe to use around kids when used as directed. Mosquito & Fly Spray, Flea & Tick Shampoo, Flea & Tick Spot Collar, and Flea & Tick Spot On are 25b products (deemed by the EPA to be “minimum risk” to humans and the environment) and cruelty-free, tested only on the bugs they’re designed to eliminate. All packaging is recyclable including the aerosol once empty.
“When you love someone, you do everything in your power to protect them. I founded Wondercide because I knew there had to be a better way to protect my dog Luna, and help other families keep their loved ones protected,” said Stephanie Boone, Founder and CEO of Wondercide. “These new products add extra layers of plant-derived protection, while the Collar and Spot On deliver convenience to busy pet parents. They are easy to use and will help make life better for Packs of every kind, everywhere.”
To date, Wondercide has protected over 1.5 million families and counting! For more information visit www.wondercide.com.

AirSkirts™ is a patent-pending, first of its kind inflatable RV skirting solution that saves customer’s time, energy and money while protecting their RVs from weather damage.

updated: Jan 21, 2020
EAST LYME, Conn., January 21, 2020 (Newswire.com)
– An innovative new product is set to hit the RV accessories market on Jan. 24. AirSkirts, a cold-weather protection solution for RVs, tiny homes, and more, is set to make its debut at the Northeast RV and Camping Show on Jan. 24 in Hartford, Conn. The AirSkirts system provides an easier, more cost-effective, and less time-consuming skirting solution to help protect RVs, trailers, vans, other vehicles and even tiny homes during cold months, preventing frozen pipes and hoses and other costly damage.
AirSkirts utilizes the natural insulating properties of air to help protect RVs and other vehicles that need to be used during cold weather or otherwise protected. When an RV is parked, the underside is exposed to the open environment. Due to this, burst water pipes and other system failures are common, even on high-end RVs. This outside exposure also allows leaves and trash to easily become trapped under the vehicle creating a perfect home for unwanted critters. AirSkirts’ insulating properties also prevent energy dissipation and cold floors; this stops heating systems from working overtime and wasting valuable energy.
Unlike other products on the market such as Styrofoam, PVC sheeting, or customized fabricated skirts, AirSkirts is easy to install and cost-effective. In under 30 minutes, users can inflate the AirSkirts system, which is comprised of heavy-duty, long-lasting material and military-grade valves. The system features reinforced seams and material that are resistant to tears, punctures and extreme weather. When not in use, AirSkirts can be rolled and stored in a carry bag.
Because of strong yet flexible construction, AirSkirts can easily conform to a variety of sizes and shapes and can account for drains, pipes and hoses on whatever vehicle it is being used to protect. In addition to its innovative construction, the product provides an attractive way to protect a parked vehicle.
“We are thrilled to offer AirSkirts to consumers looking for a practical solution to protect their hard-earned investments such as RVs, trailers, vans, and even tiny homes,” said Jim Phelan, Founder and Managing Director. “AirSkirts is an easy to use system that helps ward off damage caused by the elements at a more attractive price point than other weatherization systems on the market. We’ve spent years listening to the needs of RV owners everywhere and utilized our own experiences as campers to deliver a product that we truly believe will be a gamechanger in the industry.”
AirSkirts will be available to consumers for purchase on Jan. 24, 2020 and can be purchased at www.airskirts.com. To learn more about the patent-pending AirSkirts, visit www.airskirts.com or contact Jim Phelan, Founder and Managing Director, at 833-475-4787 or email jim@airskirts.com.

Gilbertsville Farmhouse’s annual Couples Retreat has become one of their most highly anticipated events in Upstate New York and this year the romantic weekend retreat will take place November 3rd-5th, 2017.
Press Release –

South New Berlin, NY, September 21, 2017 (Newswire.com)
– Gilbertsville Farmhouse has just announced that their Couples Retreat 2017 will take place the weekend of November 3-5th, 2017. The retreat is known as the most romantic weekend of the year, and for good reason. This exclusive retreat is available once a year to only ten (10) couples and includes a unique glamping experience in Gilbertsville Farmhouse’s one-of-a-king glamping village, hailed one of the best glamping experiences in the world by The Venue Report and one of the top five glamping spots in the U.S. by top travel blogger, The Points Guy.
Surrounded by the luscious landscape of the Catskill mountains and the meticulously manicured farm where it lives, Gilbertsville Farmhouse’s glamping tents are each a 320 square foot camping paradise. Spacious and beautiful, each tent is appointed with high-end plush king mattresses, luxurious bedding, plush robes, screened windows, electricity, lighting, mirrors, candles, ceiling fans and romantic wood-burning stoves. The common bathhouse is actually not common at all. Welcoming glampers with a lobby area, leather sofas, rustic lighting and double fireplaces, the bathhouse has rainshowers, private dressing areas and beautiful restrooms that put the “glam” in glamping.
“We began as a wedding venue, so our glamping tents were designed for romance. Our Couples Retreat is so successful because romance is what we do best.” – SHARON BOUSTANI, OWNER OF GILBERTSVILLE FARMHOUSE
If glamping on a fall weekend in upstate NY isn’t romantic enough, retreaters have options to book uber-romantic couples massages, professional photo sessions and a private, candlelit and catered four-course meal and wine pairing. Talk about private and exclusive, this dining option is available only to one couple each night of the retreat. The retreat includes continental breakfast with artisan bread baskets delivered fresh to the glamping tent doors daily and nightly campfires and s’mores. New this year will be a “campfire jam session” with a local singer and guitarist.
Gilbertsville Farmhouse will be providing a free luncheon for media/reporters who are interested in covering the retreat on Saturday, November 4, 2017 between 11AM and 3PM. Please contact Sharon via email if interested: sharon@gilbertsvillefarmhouse.com.
About Gilbertsville Farmhouse: Gilbertsville Farmhouse operates primarily as a rustic wedding and retreat venue. It was founded in 2013 by Aldo and Sharon Boustani and their four children, formerly of New York City. In 2004, Aldo and Sharon were looking for a country home for their family — a place to unwind from their hectic NYC lives. They discovered their “little” (125 acres) slice of upstate heaven 3 1/2 hours away from the city, in a town right outside of Gilbertsville, New York. They fell in love.
At first, they would travel almost every weekend to their private getaway. Slowly, the area, the community and the lifestyle dug roots in their hearts. They dreamt of making a permanent life there. After almost ten years, their dream began to look less like a fantasy and more like a reality. Starting in 2013, they repurposed the buildings and grounds on their former dairy farm to create a unique and gorgeous rustic wedding venue featuring two stunning barns and a one-of-a-kind Glamping Village. Gilbertsville Farmhouse was born, a weekend wedding venue only 3 1/2 hours from NYC.
After three years of operating their business and 3 1/2-hour commutes, the former NYC family became permanent members of their small-town community. As the family settles into their new lives, Gilbertsville Farmhouse continues to grow and expand. In early summer 2017, the family added Goat Yoga to their venue offerings. As with every part of their lives and business, Aldo and Sharon most enjoy sharing it with others.

– CB Insights recently named Heather’s Choice the “Most Well-Funded Food Startup in Alaska” after gaining several large investments over the past year. Heather’s Choice is a dehydrated backpacking foods company based out of Anchorage, Alaska focused on creating healthy, high-quality backcountry meals. The young startup experienced a surge of interested investors after enjoying more than 500 percent growth in 2016. Heather’s Choice is using their newly found gains to increase production and add essential new team members.
Heather Kelly, an avid outdoorswoman and certified nutritionist, started Heather’s Choice in 2014 to satisfy a need for healthy dehydrated backcountry meals and snacks. In fall of 2015, Heather’s Choice ran a successful Kickstarter campaign and raised enough funds to design and print new custom packaging and purchase a commercial dehydrator.
In April of 2016 Heather’s Choice was invited to join the Launch Alaska Accelerator Program, a group of local investors dedicated to helping Alaska startups become scalable businesses with monetary investments and mentorship. After completing the Launch Alaska program, Heather’s Choice was approached by the Alaska Accelerators Fund. Their investment allowed Heather’s Choice to hire several new staff members, open a retail location in Anchorage, and obtain office space and warehouse space for inventory and shipping. A recent grant from the Alaska Seed Fund is also helping Heather’s Choice expand their product line to include more backcountry snacks.
