Jul 31, 2012 3:20 PM   Set to hit the market in early 2013, Snow Peak's Lapel Torch flashlight separates the LED bulb from the batteries with a cable tether that allows the light source to be clipped to your jacket or backpack straps. A strong magnetic clip holds it in place without damaging the spot where it's been attached, letting you continue with camp chores like starting a fire or pitching a tent, even in the dark of night. A convenience that will set you back $66, but save you from having a headlamp strapped around your noggin.

Jul 28, 2012 12:00 PM   With its new Mojo UFO tent, Sierra Designs is hoping that campers who like to travel light are willing to spend a small fortune to shave a few pounds off their pack. Because the space-age looking shelter weighs less than two pounds, but comes with an $1,800 price tag—that's a whopping $900 per pound. What makes the tent so expensive is the use of an ultralight material called cuben fiber which is typically used in sails and inflatable structures. It makes the Mojo UFO resistant to the elements, but also look like something astronauts would sleep in on the moon. The tent also uses a set of carbon fiber poles that allow the two-person structure to be set up in mere minutes, but they definitely contribute to the tent's hefty price tag which could instead be used to pay for a bed in a luxury five-star hotel.
