ISPO in Munich, one of the biggest outdoor tradeshows in the world, has just been and gone, and UKC/UKH were there to take a look at some of the newest and best outdoor gear available. We've already given sneak videos of the BD Jetforce Ski Backpack and an interview with Ueli Steck, but now it is time to roll out our gear bonanza post-show reports.

For the rich!

Glad to see the ME Citadel has been updated - it's a bloomin' great jacket - and considering they used my UKC review in their ISPO marketing for the jacket (fame at last!) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Be-lCswIUAA1_zN.jpg maybe UKC can claim to have helped ME with those updates? I mentioned the cuffs were too complicated in the review http://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/review.php?id=4444 and now it has simpler cuffs! Score. :)
