New & Notable Products


Get a head start on your Spring adventures! Check out the latest arrivals at SUNTRAIL, your Source For Adventure for 2008!


These bottles are a "steel" of a deal! Klean Kanteen Water Bottles

Looking for an alternative to plastic drinking bottles? Klean Kanteens are single-walled reuseable bottles made of high quality stainless steel that is both lightweight and non-leaching. They come in a variety of sizes and types (including a "sippy-cup" version that's perfect for toddlers) and there's even a bike cage available for them so you can clip them onto your bicycle.

Re-engineered MSR Fuel Bottles available soon at SUNTRAIL M.S.R. Fuel Bottles

M.S.R. fuel bottles are an essential component to their liquid fuel stoves; but in mid-2007 Health Canada suspended the sale of all metal fuel bottles pending a re-design of the products to conform to more stringent Canadian child safety regulations. The first shipment of fully compliant fuel bottles featuring child-safe caps and new labelling is due to arrive any day now, and we anticipate that demand for these fuel bottles will be very brisk.
(Assorted sizes; may not be exactly as shown)

(Various styles and prints)

You'll never be asked to step out of line again! Travel-Rite Must-Have Travel Kit

What a great idea - all the airline approved transparent toiletry bottles you'll ever need, all packaged inside a clear plastic zip-pouch that together meets all current international airline safety and security standards! Just one less thing to hassle with when you're flying to your dream destination.

Bring home lots of swag with help from SUNTRAIL! Lifeventures Packable Daysack

It starts out about the size and shape of a stuffed pita but quickly unfolds to become a fully functional daypack that can carry up to 15 litres of all kinds of treasures you'll have a yearning to pick up while visiting exotic, far-off destinations... or SUNTRAIL for that matter!
(Hummus and Tzaziki Sauce not included)

Sweet dreams from SUNTRAIL! Lifesystems Mosquito Net

If you're travelling to a tropical destination (or the suburbs of Winnipeg for that matter) make sure you bring one of these with you. Mosquitoes can carry serious and even deadly diseases; but a mosquito net suspended over the bed can keep the little biters at bay, ensuring a safe and relaxing sleep.
(Assorted sizes; other brands available as well)

Live out your Cousteau fantasies with snorkelling gear from SUNTRAIL! U.S. Divers Adult Travel Set

Heading south to some warm, sunny beaches? Be sure to take this snorkelling set along with you. This professional quality set includes a super-comfortable silicone mask, a self-draining snorkel and high-performance split fins, all contained in a handy backpack.
(Assorted adult sizes; other adult & youth snorkel sets also available)

Your tunes have never sounded so good! Aquapac Waterproof Headphones

The manufacturer of these compact earbuds claims that they are waterproof to a depth of 10 metres (33 ft.), and that they can safely be used at depths of up to 3 metres (10 ft.). If used in conjunction with an Aquapac waterproof MP3 player cover (with integrated headphone patch cord), that suggests the intriguing possibility of listening to Feist while kayaking, or even to your favourite Marley tracks while snorkelling. Crazy mon!

Discover your inner Viking with a Swedish kayak from SUNTRAIL! Point 65°N Kayaks

Come see the latest additions to our fleet! Point 65°N is a Swedish company that has been taking the kayaking world by storm with their innovative designs, including a 3-layer rotomolded poly touring kayak with four hatches and both a rudder AND a skeg. Because of our exclusive distribution rights in Canada you'll only be able to find these Scandinavian beauties at Source for Adventure stores!

Life's a beach at SUNTRAIL! Harmony Beach Cart

Tired of having to schlep your canoes and kayaks down to the water all by yourself? This handy beach cart will lend you a helping hand, allowing you to pull the boat behind you while the extra-large balloon style tires roll easily over just about any surface.

Clip an S-Biner on your gear today! Nite Ize S-Biners

To the list of great inventions that forever changed the outdoor adventure world - Velcro, Kevlar, Ibuprofen, freeze-dried poutine - may now be added the Nite Ize S-Biner, winner of a 2008 Backpacker Magazine Editors' Choice Award. These double-gated mini-biners already have a wealth of practical uses, and you can spend hours daydreaming of new ways to put these babies to work for you.

Check out this and other great headlamps at SUNTRAIL! Princeton Tec Fuel LED Headlamp

This compact, high-performance headlamp features three bright white LEDs and four power modes, and will light your way for up to 160 hours before the three AAA batteries (included) need to be changed.
(Assorted colours)

Go ahead, treat yourself to a large double double! GSI Java Press

As far as we know there are no Timmys in the wilderness; but just because you're visiting the back of beyond doesn't mean you have to give up half decent coffee. Follow the directions that come with this handy Lexan coffee press and in practically no time at all you'll be sipping one of the best cups of joe you've ever tasted! Also good for lovers of loose tea that just can't start their day without a cuppa... and if you make sure to use only fair-trade coffees and teas, you'll feel even better!
(Assorted sizes; other brands available as well)

This spoon will really grow on you! GSI Telespoon

Most serving spoons are somewhat long and bulky to pack, but not this handy model from GSI. The handle telescopes out for use as a mixing or serving spoon, but can then be compacted down small enough to fit into a pot, and because it's made of heat resistant plastic it won't scratch non-stick cookware surfaces.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!! UCO Ice Cream Maker

Craving something ice-cold and delicious? Just put some half-and-half cream, some sweetener and a little vanilla into the inner chamber of this brightly coloured ball, fill the outer chamber with a mixture of ice and rock salt and roll it around for awhile. In just 20 minutes or so you'll be able to pop it open and dish out some cold, delicious, home-made ice cream. What a treat!
(Assorted colours)

Feed your craving for great outdoor cooking at SUNTRAIL! LMF Sporks

It's a fork... and it's also a spoon... but it's also a knife! Any way you look at it, it's the perfect piece of cutlery to accompany you on all your mealtime adventures. Made of lightweight polycarbonate, it's heat resistant and won't harm the surface of your non-stick cookware.
(Assorted colours)

Don't you just love the smell of a campfire? LMF Grandpa's FireFork

Everyone loves to roast marshmallows and weiners over the campfire, but nobody likes the environmental damage that results from having to cut green roasting sticks from living trees. This clever device is the answer - it quickly attaches to just about any old stick and will allow you to cook all kinds of goodies. It even comes with a colourful cover for safe storage too. S'mores, anyone?
(Assorted colours)

SUNTRAIL helps put the spark into your outdoor adventures! LMF FireSteel

Like the old camp song says, "It only takes a spark to get a fire going...", and this handy little device will develop a sizzling burst of sparks even when wet. It's perfect for lighting liquid fuel and canister stoves in windy and cold conditions that would challenge matches and lighters, and when used with a supply of dry tinder is great for lighting a toasty campfire. OK, so who's up for a rousing round of Kumbaya?

Think of it as Origami for your table! Orikaso Folding Tableware

Made of lightweight, strong, flexible and colourful plastic, Orikaso tableware stores flat but can be quickly folded up to make sturdy and functional tableware items like plates, bowls, and cups; but can also be used around your campsite as cutting boards, canister stove stabilizers, storage trays and so on.
(Assorted sets and colours)

Grant their wishies and give them Squishies! Guyot Designs Squishy Bowls

Made of heat resistant food grade silicone, this two piece set consists of a large 16 fl.oz. bowl and a smaller 6 fl.oz. cup that together will handle just about any hot or cold food superbly. They're comfortable to hold, clean up quickly and easily, and yes - as their name suggests - they're SQUISHY, so they can be packed into just about any corner of your pack.
(Assorted colours)

Tie me kangaroo down, mate...! SPT Locking Cam Straps

Coming from "The Land Down Under", these locking cam straps are the ultimate tiedowns for your valuable adventure gear. Coupled with a locking vehicle rack system (also available at SUNTRAIL), these straps will keep your gear solidly and securely attached to your vehicle until you're ready to play. No worries mate!
