SIA showcases new products, old ones with new twists and some local flavor

GPS all in your damn goggles? Check.

​As you may know by now, the SIA Trade show is not open to the public. But Westword was able to get in and get the scoop on some new products that are coming out this year. We got the techiest of the tech, the practical-est of the practical and local-est of the locals, an inside scoop on what you can expect at your local ski, snowboard or outdoor retailer. But be warned: Some of these products are, in fact, quite useful and are expected to make even the most discriminating gear-junkie moist in the loins. Click through, check 'em out.

​10. Camtrol Free Shooting Tools
Camtrol Free Shooting Tools showcases the Camtrol Grand for HDSLR shooters. This lil' guy holds every camera on the market and is fully adaptable for everything...even your iPhone. The multi-use and versatile tool offers so many different configurations, it makes shooting all extreme sports a very realistic practice and without the loss of stabilization. Shoulder mount, hand cam, double hand cam or even ground level viewing makes this piece a must have for any rising filmer.

​9. Klymit Interia X-Frame
Klymit displays one of their newest items, the Klymit Interia X-Frame, a sleeping pad for campers. This baby folds down to a modest nine-ounce, soda can-sized bundle. And it only takes three breaths to blow it up. Beats sleeping on the dirt, that's for sure.

​8. Demon United pads
With extreme sports, injury happens. That's why the homies at Demon United are doing their best to keep you out of the hospital and on the mountain. Check out this new set of pads with a fashionable zebra-print for the air-bound bro who can still rock saggy swagger.

​7. Siege Audio headwrap headphones
Well, it's safe to say that Skullcandy has totally rocked for the past three years in the snow sports industry, until the boys at Siege Audio stepped in. With nylon-wrapped wires and single-wire head wrap, the VOLTA retails at a mere $20. And it is loud. Really loud.

​6. Recco locator beacon
Avalanche dangers are everywhere in the backcountry. That's why Recco developed another way to get you out of the hot seat if you find yourself buried in the cold stuff. A small beacon attached to your jacket or pants alerts a receiver at search and rescue and can greatly raise your chances of survival. It's not the only method -- just another way to help you see another face shot.
