We can't get enough of the new gear we saw last week at the Outdoor Retailer winter market. Check out some of these stoke-worthy items from Ortovox, Timex, Dakine, Petzl, and more.

Ortovox Kodiak Shovel

Time is a factor when you're digging someone out of the snow, and Ortovox's Kodiak convertible shovel aims to speed up your rescue attempt. The 770-gram shovel switches from traditional shovel to a 90-degree hoe-style trencher for rapid snow removal. The tempered aluminum material is extremely tough, and the telescoping shaft is oval-shaped to prevent bending or breaking. The Kodiak also sports a wide d-shaped handle and textured grips keep slippage to a minimum.

Whether you want to keep your camera alive on multi-day backcountry trips or you just want to post a tweet every now and then to let your family know you're still alive, finding juice in the woods can be a problem. But hey, the sun's just giving it away, and Goal Zero's Guide 10 Adventure Kit lets you suck up some of that free energy. With a two-panel solar charger and a AA- or AAA-compatible power kit to store that energy for a rainy day (4 rechargeable AA batteries included), you never have to worry about your GPS leaving you lost in the woods.

Pearl Izumi Ultra Barrier WxB Jacket

Multisport apparel and footwear company Pearl Izumi is looking to cater to the ultra- running crowd with a slew of long-distance running gear. One of the most notable signs of this new direction is the Ultra Barrier WxB running jacket, launching Fall 2012. Made with Pearl Izumi's sweat-wicking, fast-drying Minerale interior fabric, the Ultra Barrier is bolstered by a water- and windproof stretch material to keep runners dry from within as well as without. For high-mileage runs, Pearl Izumi has lightly reinforced the jacket's shoulders with a tacky material that keeps hydration pack straps in place and protects the jacket from strap abrasion.

Suunto Ambit Adventure Watch

With a host of outdoors-oriented applications, Suunto's Ambit GPS adventure watch will not only help you find a mountain, it'll help you get in shape to reach its peak. The Ambit combines GPS capabilities with accelerometer tech to give users a faster, more accurate measure of their speed and distance. It also allows users the option to have the GPS track every second, every minute, or not at all. The battery ranges in life from 15 hours on full GPS to 30 days using only the accelerometer. Among the Ambit's other features are a 3D compass and full-featured GPS waypoint navigation features, a barometer, and the full line of training features like pace and speed tracking, vertical speed, and heart rate monitoring. Available March 2012.

Stanley Classic Flask

If you're one of the many adventurers who likes to celebrate a summit with a victorious shot of your favorite beverage, you know the importance of a sturdy flask. Fortunately, Stanley's Classic Flask is the perfect pick for keeping your Maker's Mark safe while you trek. Its slim profile slips easily into a hip pocket or pack, and the stainless steel body will put up with drops, bumps, and the occasional slide down a rocky face. Details like a cap leash and a wide opening for easy refilling (and emptying) round out the Classic Flask's status as a bit of backcountry luxury.

Klymit Ulaar Jacket

The whole point of down and synthetic insulation is to provide loft that creates air pockets, which retain heat. Klymit's insulating vests are inflatable, so there's no need for the added weight of an insulator. This September, they're rolling out the Ulaar Jacket, a softshell that features an inflatable core. Wearers can inflate the jacket as much or as little as they like depending on the conditions. Instead of removing a layer when things heat up, wearers can just deflate the jacket to cool off, and they can pump it up a shot of highly-insulative argon gas when the sun goes down.

Petzl Nao Reactive Headlamp

With a high end of around 355 lumens, Petzl's Nao headlamp was one of the highlights of the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market. The 187-gram Nao sports brain as well as brawn, though - the headlamp has a reflective light sensor that measures how close an object is and brightens or dims the light accordingly. If you're looking at a map, the Nao dims its 2 power LEDs so you're not blinded, but if you look for a sign a hundred yards away, the light brightens up almost instantly to let you read it. In addition to being amazingly cool, the automatic adjustment extends the lithium-ion battery's life by about 3 hours (it gets about 1.5 hours per charge on the high-beam setting). Launching July 2012.

Dakine Raptor Glove

Touch screens are sweet, but trying to fiddle with your iPhone on a ski lift is a great way to lose a glove. Slated for Winter 2013, Dakine's Raptor glove rocks TouchTec, a touchscreen-compatible leather on the palm and fingers that allows you full use of your touchscreen phone without taking off one of your gloves. So now you can post your bluebird day on Facebook or text your buddy of the view from your chairlift without exposing your little piggies to the elements. In addition to the magic cowskin, it's stuffed with 55g of Primaloft insulation, and a glued-in GORE-TEX lining blocks water without sacrificing dexterity.

Eddie Bauer First Ascent Uprising Jeans

Normally the realm of the hard-core mountaineer, Eddie Bauer's First Ascent line of clothing is branching out into the world of casual and workwear with their Uprising Jeans, available now. Made with a touch of spandex, the Uprising jeans give you enough mobility to hop on a bike or a boulder when the opportunity arises, while it's tough Cordura denim lets you pull your way up a rock face without worrying about wrecking the Uprising's knees.
