SNOWSHOES
Springbrook introduces its Little Bear line of snowshoes. They weigh only 18 oz. each, come with a carrying sack, and fit nicely under truck seats or in the trunk. The one-piece polypropylene shoes have no moving parts, and a redesigned binding accommodates virtually any boot size. Unlike other designs, Little Bears have a solid platform, cupped edges, and double-duty bindings. They offer the same flotation as traditional snowshoes, including backward and sideways motion, and enable snowshoers to traverse terrain with up to a 45-degree slope. The line includes snowshoes specially manufactured for children -- Cubs for ages 3 to 5, and Grizzlies for 5 to 12.

PORTABLE GENERATOR
The Advanced Products Group of the Coleman Company announces a new portable generator, the UltiMite. Capable of producing 1,000 watts AC -- or 90 amps DC -- at full power, the UltiMite competes with many larger generators. However, at only 20 pounds, it leads the industry in delivering the maximum amount of power per pound. The UltiMite can jump-start stranded cars in sub-zero temperatures, or power the safe operation of a whole array of emergency equipment. The UltiMite's Robin engine operates for hundreds of hours before needing an overhaul, and two-stroke technology ensures plenty of power.
