Giddy up, Camp Preppers!

As we post about our new products, it’s our hope that you are coming across items and gear that will be of interest to you for your specific summer camping activities. 

If you have a deep-seeded appreciation, love, and respect for horses and horseback riding, then you’ll find this particular blog post invaluably beneficial for the coming camp season. Today, I’ll be discussing The Ovation™ Deluxe Schooler Helmet as well as a fun way to dress it up with cool Helmet Zocks!—the best way to cover and decorate your helmet in awesome, bright designs.

The Deluxe Schooler from English Riding Supply is the right helmet for any entry level rider because of its many, many conveniences. No rider, let alone a lesser experienced one should have to deal with a heavy helmet that fits too tight and makes riding hot, sweaty, and overall uncomfortable.

A rider who is equipped with the Schooler Helmet won’t have to worry about any of this unpleasantness. Because this helmet is ventilated and lightweight, it will wear comfortably and keep your head cool. Then, for even more comfort and added protection, the interior is mesh-padded.

The Schooler also features a removable breakaway visor along with a dial fit system and a leather and nylon adjustable harness so that it not only meets your personal riding preferences, but is sure to meet the specific size of your head. This helmet delivers maximum comfort!

ASTM F1163-04a/SEI Certified, this helmet is more-than-suitable for riding but also good enough to use as a show helmet!

It’s given a rubberized finish for a very sleek look, but if you really want to ride in your own style, Ovation™ Helmet Zocks are the way to go! Helmet Zocks, socks for your riding helmet, not only cloak your helmet in your preferred design, but also provides your helmet with protection–avoiding scratches or getting marked up in any way.

Arrive at riding camp wearing the Ovation™ Deluxe Schooler Helmet and sporting a great Zocks cover! Are you ready to ride? As always, thanks for reading, Camp Fans!

Hey, Camp Enthusiasts!

A couple days ago we discussed the Fawn Grove Throw from Woolrich—the warmth, the weight, the look, and the feel. So today we’re going to take a look at the Woolrich Atlas Twin Blanket, the Fawn Grove Throw’s cousin as an alternative blanket for summer camping. 

This post discusses the differences in both of these Woolrich classics so that you can best decide for yourself which one you want to cover up with for a chilly camp night.

Just like the Fawn Grove Throw, the Atlas Twin is more than big enough in which to wrap yourself up or to share with your camp friend while the both of you sit half-blanketed, reading a book or enjoying the warm atmosphere around a fire.

The Woolrich Atlas Twin Blanket is nice and comfy and, above all, warm!

Unlike its cousin, on the other hand, the Woolrich Atlas is meant to be a heavier type of blanket. It isn’t going to deliver the same kind of soft, fluffy feeling that the throw will. However, the blanket is much more effective for layering than the throw could ever be.

The Woolrich Atlas Twin is also a larger blanket than the Fawn Grove Throw. Woolrich adds 6” to one end and 10” to the other to make the Atlas 60” wide and 80” long.

Keep in mind that when you buy a Woolrich quality blanket, you’re not just picking one out for camp! The Atlas Twin Blanket is especially long-lasting thanks to its bulkier feel. It’s made of 80% reprocessed wool and 20% nylon.

The Atlas Twin Blanket is a blanket you’ll enjoy for the rest of your entire life!

The color on the Atlas Twin are solid colors and not designs, naturally, the colors on the Atlas are deeper and fuller than the softer approach of the plaid designs that you see on the throw.

Well, that just about covers it, everybody. Hopefully this gave you a clearer idea of what blanket types the two of these are and maybe even which one you’ll want for your camper. And, as always, thanks for reading!

Hi, Camp Shoppers!

Moving along through March I’m sure that for many of you, summer camp preparations are starting to dwell heavier and heavier on your mind. There’s so much you need to get before camp starts, so let posts like these help give you a better idea of what you’re getting with our new products.

As hot as the days get at summer camp, the other foot always falls and with it, so does the temperature. Chilly nights and rainy days are inevitable; so, Parents, make sure your kids are prepared with the Fawn Grove Throw from Woolrich.

This blanket takes the chill out of a chilly night. It is as amazing as they come. You’ll have absolutely no problems staying warm when you cover up with this throw.

The great thing about the Fawn Grove Throw is its weight distribution. It’s the perfect balance between a bulky blanket and a light throw. You’re sure to fall asleep as you fall in love with this single-ply, warm, wool blanket.

Surprisingly lightweight and soft for 100% wool, there is so much to admire about the Fawn Grove Throw:

At 54” wide and 70” long, this blanket is certainly big enough to snuggle up in or use for two to share, covering their legs.

Whether it’s the stitching around the borders of the throw—a subtle and impressive touch—or simply the soft, plaid design, these beautiful blankets will likely hold you spellbound. That’s how you know the quality is real and definitely made in the Woolrich Woolen Mills.

The Fawn Grove Throw is available in a variety of diverse, dreamy colors so make sure you know in which one your camper will want to wrap up.

For a sneak peek of what you’re buying, I’d suggest using the zoom feature on our site. It’ll allow you to get real up close and personal with these throws. I think you’ll be happy to find that even extremely close up, the Fawn Grove Throw is the perfect summer camp blanket.

Dry clean for best care. And, as always, thanks for reading, Camp Folks!

Hey, Summer Campers!

Obviously you’re going to need a flashlight for your summer camp stay. How else are you going to light the trail on a late-night walk or tell spooky ghost stories to your friends?

If you want a really good flashlight, you should get the Hybrid Solar Flashlight. You will rave about it. Unlike any ordinary flashlight you’ve ever used, this triumph of human technology can hold a full charge for years!

The Hybrid Solar Flashlight

Have light working off the flashlight’s solar charge or off of its convenient, easy-to-change coin cells for your alternative to solar light. The flashlight recharges fast and retains its solar charge for a crazy long time so you should rarely have to rely on the actual coin cell batteries.

This thing will never leave you high and dry in the dark! Whether it receives its charge from the sun or from a light bulb, The Hybrid Solar Flashlight uses its revolutionary energy technology to recharge itself by means of either source! It’s extremely durable, it works under water, and it floats!

It’ll work great using it as a light for reading or writing, or pretty much as any general work light. It casts off an ample amount of usable light. And it’s smaller, brighter, and more lightweight than any other flashlight that can compare.

Don’t be fooled by its slender body and lightweight manner—the Hybrid was built to last whether your summer camp experience means kickin’ back to relax or actually roughin’ it in the great outdoors.

The best part about this flashlight is that it’s always charging if there’s light somewhere around it—it doesn’t need direct sunlight. The Hybrid will virtually charge in any room with a window, sitting near lamplight, or even while you’re telling ghost stories around the campfire.

Parents, the Hybrid Solar Flashlight is not only a great flashlight for camping but also as a general, around-the-house and emergency flashlight after camp is over. Get years and years and more years of use out of this incredibly convenient flashlight. Simply keep it on top of your refrigerator or somewhere with easy access to light and it will never lose charge!

Let’s hear it for the Hybrid Solar Flashlight! This thing is amazing! As always, thanks for reading, Camp Folks!

Hey, Camp Preppers!

In your extensive mission of camp preparations, one item that can require ample attention and consideration is what sort of water bottle you’ll want. There are many different types with many different features, so today we’ll be discussing the latest water bottle we started carrying for the approaching summer season: The Avex Brazos Water Bottle.

The wonder about this bottle is that it’s one-handed—one-handed meaning that there isn’t a cap for you to take off or a spout that you have to open. It’s made for one-handed use so when you’re racing out of the other team’s territory in a ruthless game of Capture The Flag, you have their flag in one hand and drinking with the other is no problem!

It takes care of half the work for you!

How does this amazing wonder water bottle work its magic? It’s got a patented AUTOSEAL® lid with spill-and-leak-proof technology. You naturally press a big button on the Brazos’ rim when you hold to drink. The button opens a spout and releases a perfect stream of water.

Pour it in your mouth like a Nalgene or put it to your lips like bottled water, the Avex Brazos Water Bottle releases conveniently.

This 25 oz., BPA-free, Tritan™ bottle not only seals itself shut between sips but comes with a dirt guard as well so you can drink reassured that you’re getting clean water that’s protected from dirt and germs.

The Avex Brazos is made with measure markers on the side which are handy for knowing how much water you’ve had. It’s very important to stay hydrated during activities at summer camp. The bottle also has a built-in carabiner clip on the handle that you can attach to a laundry bag, backpack, duffel bag, you name it!

So as you can see, the Avex Brazos is one convenient canteen. And, as always, thanks for reading, Camp Fans.
