Innovative and intuitive – the Goes Health App by Goes makes outdoor adventures safer. This digital solution is specifically tailored to providing first aid in outdoor situations.
The Goes Health App uniquely combines expertise in wilderness medicine, real-time safety insights, and advanced weather forecasting into a single, user-friendly platform that functions both online and offline, ensuring adventurers are prepared and equipped for any outdoor scenario.
The development of the Goes app involved collaboration with athletes and leading scientists, including wilderness medicine experts from Stanford University and the National Park Service. This collaboration aims to ensure that the content of the Health App is not only practical and scientifically validated but also tailored to meet the real challenges of outdoor activities.
The young company feels affirmed in its journey by winning the ISPO Award. "Winning the ISPO Award underscores our mission to empower adventurers with the Goes Health App and make wilderness medicine widely accessible. It recognizes our innovative combination of expertise, design, and technology to transform outdoor readiness," says Camilo Barcenas, CEO, and Co-founder of Goes.
Goes provides users with a kind of pocket guide for significantly enhanced safety during their outdoor activities. Thus, the Health App is equipped with medical best practices to prevent outdoor injuries and illnesses and to provide immediate treatment in emergencies.
To provide the best possible support, an unique Wilderness Medicine Library, care protocols, and support systems are endorsed by the medical advisory board of Goes Health. This board consists of 27 emergency room physicians, all of whom are outstanding wilderness medicine experts from leading US medical programs.
Goes was originally developed to assist people in emergencies in remote or hard-to-reach areas. The app is designed to help where access to medical support or care is unreachable. "The app was designed to function in airplane mode to provide assistance in remote areas, conserving the phone's battery life," explains Barcenas. "Goes helps people become better prepared and more self-sufficient in managing their risks, thereby reducing the use of extensive human and energy resources required for search and rescue missions such as helicopter transport to emergency room visits.“
Only in the second step did the start-up discover the opportunity to open up to a much larger community. The Goes Health App is thus aimed at anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. Whether trail runners, mountain bikers, hikers, or campers, including adventurous families with children, the app provides an intuitive solution for anyone needing help and appropriate guidance in emergency situations. The situations are largely tailored to outdoor activities.
Co-founder Barcenas also sees clear benefits for outdoor retailers: "By offering Goes as a resource and service, retailers can provide their teams or the community at large with a reassuring feeling and create a safer outdoor experience, whether as an employee benefit or more widely. They can also collaborate with us to support their business goals through additional resources on wilderness medicine with our medical advisory board."
The additional content such as weather forecasting, wilderness library, and instructions for emergency situations like lightning strikes, initial treatment of fractures, or snakebites are in English, making them easily understandable and applicable for German and European users as well. "As a digital application, each iteration, update, and expansion of the content in the app requires no additional printed materials," says Barcenas. Subscribers thus always have access to the latest wilderness medicine resources. "The uniqueness isn't in the weather component in itself, it's the translation of what to do with the weather event that they're experiencing", Barcenas adds.
Moreover, Goes is environmentally conscious. In partnership with the US-based environmental and outdoor movement Recreate Responsibly, Goes firmly believes in respecting and promoting the environment. The company is keen to educate on how to move respectfully and sustainably outdoors. "One should leave a place better than they found it," describes Barcenas the mindset.
The Starhopper Sleeping Bag from Bach Equipment maximizes the outdoor sleeping experience under the open sky.
Spending a night in nature is a unique experience. With the innovative Starhopper +5°C sleeping bag from Bach Equipment, the feeling of sleeping under the stars can be maximized. The Starhopper is designed for sleeping under the open sky in dry weather, even without a tent or tarp.
To make this outdoor sleeping dream possible with minimal compromise and maximum comfort, Bach's design team has incorporated numerous innovative and thoughtful details into the sleeping bag. Features such as the inflatable bug net, which keeps mosquitoes away from the face without obstructing the view of the night sky with too coarse a mesh, as well as strategically placed ventilation options and openings, demonstrate a high level of innovation.
This innovation is evident in the details as well: the bug net, hidden in an inner pocket, can be inflated in less than a minute, providing optimal additional mosquito protection in the head area quickly. The mentioned ventilation slots are also equipped with protection against biting insects. "This innovative product protects against wind, moisture, and insects, allowing outdoor enthusiasts to comfortably enjoy sunsets and starry nights," describes Laure Ooink, a product developer at Bach, the benefits of the Starhopper. The windproof outer material supports heat insulation during sleep. "The Primaloft insulation works excellently even when wet, so you don't have to fear morning dew," says Ooink.
Bach didn't solely rely on its own extensive expertise in developing the Starhopper; they also sought external support. A team of experienced outdoor enthusiasts extensively tested the Starhopper in the field and provided their feedback to the design team. This constructive exchange informed the development of the Starhopper.
One result of this exchange is that the bug ventilation can be fully opened. "This allows for enjoying breakfast snugly inside the sleeping bag," adds Laura Ooink. This comfort feature is made possible by a multitude of zippers around the arms and at the bottom of the sleeping bag. The sleeping bag can be ventilated while still protected by a mesh, or it can be fully opened to stretch out arms and feet. This proves to be extremely practical for staying warm at camp while still having enough freedom of movement. The outer material is made of 20D nylon ripstop, making it not only lightweight but also robust.
Sleeping under the starry sky is a magical experience, one cherished by outdoor enthusiasts. The Starhopper 3-season sleeping bag is designed for those who wish to spend their nights under the open sky, either with minimal shelter or just a tarp. Bach aims to appeal to the growing number of ultralight and fastpackers, as well as kayakers and bikepackers, with the Starhopper.
Thanks to its unique overall concept, the Starhopper stands out significantly from other sleeping bag models on the market.
Designed for vehicle-based adventurers, Sea to Summit’s Detour Camp Kitchen Range brings the quality of premium domestic cookware and tableware to the great outdoors. Due to its compactness and storage functionality, the jury of the ISPO Awards 2024 found the collection commendable.
This is just the right collection for everyone looking for camp kitchen practicality: from collapsible stainless-steel pots and a pan to stainless-steel utensils, Sea to Summit’s Detour Camp Kitchen Range provides high-quality food prep, cooking and serving solutions for the vehicle-based camper or boat user, while providing compactness and storage functionality. At their jury meeting in the spring of 2024, the jury of the ISPO Awards decided to honour this state-of-the-art product range with the coveted prize.
Sea to Summit’s Detour Camp Kitchen Range is designed specifically for vehicle-based adventurers who want the quality of premium domestic cookware and tableware in the great outdoors. The cookware in this range can be used on all types of stoves, including induction hotplates. The larger Detour Pots and the Pan also feature a 3-layer base with aluminium sandwiched between the inner and outer stainless-steel surfaces for more even heat distribution. Tableware is also made of stainless steel, including collapsible bowls and cups.
Founded in 1990 and based in Perth, Western Australia, Sea to Summit is an award-winning manufacturer of ingeniously designed, omni-terrain outdoor gear. Their product line ranges from ultralight cookware to the most versatile tent on the market. The brand is no stranger to some of the most remote places on the planet, and its products are field-tested in the world’s most demanding environments.
Sea to Summit’s Detour range maximises space efficiency with its collapsible and nestable design. Cookware and dinnerware shrink down to a fraction of their in-use size, and silicone rubber inserts in the base of the plates and bowls mean rattle-free storage, too. Every item within the Detour Kitchen Collection features consistent product dimensions, proportions, materials, finishes and profiles, allowing users to mix and match products within the range. All pots utilise removable Click-Safe pot handles made of stainless steel for safe handling. They can be stowed away for transportation and lock securely into place when in use.
Clever design points make life easier for the backcountry chef. The integrated patent-pending LidKeep ensures a practical cooking experience, allowing the user to temporarily attach the lid to the side of the Pot and Kettle while stirring or seasoning. “It’s like having a third hand,” explains Brendan Harris, General Manager Export at Sea to Summit. “It also answers the question of where to put a hot, clean pot lid while you’re cooking!”
Constructed of 304 stainless steel and EU and Japanese food-grade standard BPA-free silicone, the line is produced free from PFAS and PFOA. It offers both durability and practicality, making it ideal for rugged outdoor use. Colour options like Laurel Wreath and Moonstruck not only keep the design on-trend but also help users easily identify their gear. Thoughtful engineering extends to ergonomics, with dual glass-reinforced nylon handles on the Kettle for better control when pouring, and utensils designed to stack together and be secured by a silicone rubber keeper during transport.
The Detour Kitchen Collection is designed for both seasoned and novice vehicle-based campers, overlanders and sailors who prioritise space-efficient, convenient outdoor kitchenware. Combining functionality and a sleek, modern aesthetic, it is a 2023 Australian Good Design Award Winner, an accolade that is among the most respected and recognised international design endorsements highlighting Sea to Summit’s commitment to enhancing user experience through quality product design.
From paring knives and cutting boards through collapsible colanders and cookpots to quality cutlery and tableware, the Detour range provides solutions for preparing and enjoying gourmet meals outdoors. The jury of the ISPO Awards 2024 found that the range is a testament to Sea to Summit’s commitment to enhancing the outdoor cooking experience for adventurers who value practicality, style, and durability. That’s why they decided to reward the series with the coveted prize.
Lightweight, ergonomic, and dependable: the new kitchenware collection by Sea to Summit facilitates outdoor cooking and dining. The jury granted the innovative Frontier range with the ISPO Award 2024.
Sea to Summit’s Frontier Ultralight Kitchenware Range is designed for adventurers who demand both lightness and intuitive ergonomics. This premium collection simplifies outdoor cooking and dining, offering compact yet full-value performance and collapsible convenience. It is perfect for explorers looking for efficiency and minimalism in their gear, the jury of the ISPO Awards found at their meeting in the spring of 2024 and decided to recognise the new collection with the coveted prize.
The Frontier kitchenware is designed to be used as an integrated camp kitchen system. Various sizes of cooking and dining gear can be nested together, maximising space efficiency. The 2.0L Pouring Pot, 1.1L Kettle and all Cups and Bowls collapse down to a fraction of their in-use size. The Frontier Pots are available in different sizes and designed to nest inside each other. Constructed of hard-anodised aluminium, stainless steel, food-grade silicone, and glass-reinforced nylon, the series combines lightweight durability with safety and ease of use.
Sea to Summit was founded in 1990 and is based in Perth, Western Australia. The brand is an award-winning manufacturer of skilfully designed all-terrain outdoor equipment. Its products range from ultra-light cookware to the most versatile tent on the market. The brand is no stranger to some of the world’s most remote locations and its products are tried and tested in the world’s most demanding environments.
Sea to Summit’s Frontier Range is intended to provide great outdoor dining experiences wherever adventure may take you. The Frontier Bowls and Cups which are included in the set mark an evolution over the previous model X-Bowls and Cups. The Frontier tableware is more ergonomic and thus easier to use, and it is lighter despite maintaining the same level of durability.
Bill Raczkowski, Product Manager at Sea to Summit Head Office, summarised the testing process designed to ensure reliability and longevity: “Product evaluation was a mixture of working with the development company, utilising an external engineering consultancy who built test rigs, and many hours of abusing the prototypes”. And he concluded: “Testing doesn’t always have to be hard work – stopping for a cuppa in the middle of a forest is always special”.
Key innovations for the pots and pan include secure Click-Safe handles and the LidKeep feature, which enhance functionality and safety for wilderness cooking. Ergonomic touches include spoon-friendly curves and a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that enhances tactile comfort and improves the outdoor dining experience.
The removable Click-Safe handles can be stowed away for transportation and locked securely into place when in use, with an audible click to signal that they are firmly in place. The lid features a silicone rubber ‘clip’ moulded into the underside of the grip called a LidKeep which allows the user to temporarily attach the lid to the side of the pot while stirring or seasoning.
The utensils are exceptionally lightweight, durable, and designed to nest together to minimise packed volume. Collapsible bowls and cups are 30% lighter than their predecessors and feature smooth sidewalls for easier use and clean-up. The rigid pots and pan in the range are made of hard-anodised aluminium with a ceramic non-stick finish. All Frontier kitchenware is BPA, PFAS and PFOA free, and all the materials are certified to EU and Japanese food-grade standards. Given its outstanding functionality, sustainability and low weight, the jury decided to present the ISPO Award 2024 to the Sea to Summit Frontier Ultralight Kitchenware Range.
The Oakley ARO7 Road helmet offers cyclists performance on point with its integrated Prizm™ lens, low drag design, and superb ventilation, ensuring comfort, speed, and safety.
The Oakley ARO7 Road is the ultimate choice for performance-driven cyclists. Its integrated Prizm™ lens and stealth design are engineered for low drag and maximum efficiency, giving cyclists the competitive edge they need with a range of clever features and great ventilation. “The no-tail shell shape encourages varying body positions, making it an overall better fit for multiple use cases. Whether it’s a big race, training, or simply a day ride, ARO7 Road is as dynamic as your schedule“, explains Dirk Wan, Oakley Lead Product Designer on the project. So the helmet is an overall multi-talent for different days, rides and purposes. It also allows cyclists to appreciate a wide range of innovative features.
The helmet's internal ventilation channels link the front and rear vents, boosting airflow over the head to regulate body temperature and keep you cool during intense rides. The Ionic+ lining covers key contact points on the head, releasing silver ions when wet to prevent sweat buildup and enhance comfort, which ultimately also creates a longer-lasting product. The ARO7 Road features a BOA 360° adjustment system with an adjustable dial for a secure, precise fit and enhanced safety. The improved shell shape of the helmet sits lower on the head, offering better balance and a more natural adaptation to the contours of the head.
Located at the front of the helmet, the integrated Prizm™ lens uses a unique magnetic system to stay firmly in place. The system is designed to ensure the lens is correctly positioned for minimal drag, quick attaching, removal, and stowage. Just like with a traditional pair of glasses, the integrated lens can be stowed on top of the helmet using the same hidden magnetic system.
The integrated Prizm™ Lens feels familiar yet fresh and progressive. Its cut is inspired by Oakley’s popular Sutro frame and features a disruptive cylindrical lens. With extensive user testing, the team was able to determine the best lens shape, integration function, and fit. Because of this, the lens does not crash into the face and allows the rider to comfortably wear prescription eyewear underneath.
If things heat up on the ride, no need to sweat — the lens uses the same anti-fog coating as Oakley’s Motocross goggles.
