5 Exciting New Gear Arrivals at REI
Five of the most interesting new arrivals at REI, including a glove-size rechargeable hand warmer, a flat-pack coffee dripper, and Osprey's new hardside carry-on
Quick Take
- The Ignik Ripple is the cleverest new idea here because each warmer is small enough to fit inside a glove.
- Osprey's Ozone is the biggest upgrade, pairing a recycled polycarbonate shell with premium Hinomoto spinner wheels.
REI's latest arrivals include a few genuinely fresh ideas, not just new colors. These are the five that stand out most, from a rechargeable hand warmer designed to fit inside a ski glove to Osprey's new take on hardside luggage.
Ignik Ripple Recharge Warmers
Most rechargeable hand warmers are pocket-size. The Ignik Ripple is small enough to slip inside a glove: each warmer measures 2.8 by 1.4 by 0.5 inches and weighs 1.8 ounces. Turbo mode reaches a claimed 122°F for about 3 hours, while the lower setting trades heat for up to 12 hours of runtime. The pair is IPX4 water-resistant and charges together with the included magnetic splitter cable.
Why it is exciting: It solves the bulk problem that makes many battery-powered warmers awkward for skiing.
MiiR Pourigami Pour-Over Dripper
The MiiR Pourigami turns three interlocking stainless-steel panels into a single-cup coffee dripper, then packs flat in its slim case. This updated version has taller walls designed to hold its paper filter more securely. It is not ultralight at 6.72 ounces, but it is far less fragile than a ceramic dripper and much easier to pack.
Why it is exciting: It gives travelers a real pour-over setup without dedicating much bag space to it.
MiiR Airlock Coffee Canister
MiiR redesigned the Airlock Coffee Canister with a simpler inner seal: press the lid down to push out air and lock it, then pull the knob to release it. The 90% recycled 18/8 stainless-steel body holds a standard 12-ounce bag of beans or grounds. It is better suited to a camper, cabin, or kitchen than a lightweight backpacking kit, but it pairs neatly with the Pourigami.
Why it is exciting: The straightforward press-to-seal mechanism makes fresh-coffee storage feel less fussy.
YETI Daytrip 3 L Insulated Snack Box
The new YETI Daytrip Snack Box is a compact, structured alternative to a soft lunch bag. Its ColdCell Flex closed-cell foam insulation is designed to keep food cold for hours, while the weather-resistant shell protects a sandwich from getting flattened in a larger bag. It fits six cans and is sized for YETI's medium Ice Sheet and food-storage containers.
Why it is exciting: It is essentially a rugged personal cooler that can nest inside several YETI totes and backpacks.
Osprey Ozone Hardside Carry-On
The Osprey Ozone Hardside Carry-On brings the brand's travel-bag experience to a 34-liter spinner. Its 63% recycled polycarbonate shell, 60 mm Hinomoto Silent Run wheels, YKK EYL #10 zippers, built-in TSA lock, and wipe-clean linerless interior all sound well chosen for frequent travel. At 21.7 by 13.8 by 9.1 inches and 6 pounds 4.9 ounces, it fits the usual domestic carry-on envelope, though airline limits should always be checked before flying.
Why it is exciting: Premium wheels and a practical interior matter more in daily use than another clever pocket.
