They enrich themselves with news and partners the activities signed Outdoortest.it – a site specialized in guiding the purchase of sports equipment – at the Activation Days in Riva del Garda (16th and 17th of May), the two-day experience with outdoor brands dedicated to the b2c audience.
In the two trekking outings organized by Outdoortest.it, in addition to the main partner of Activation Days RECCO and the already mentioned Lyofood, two new partners are added: Gregory, a brand specializing in hiking backpacks, and Hydro Flask, famous for its bottles and accessories. Both Gregory and Hydroflask will provide their products for testing and use during both excursions, both on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th.
Gregory will participate with the Arrio backpack
On Saturday and Sunday Gregory will give participants the opportunity to test Arrio: with a play on words that combines air and river, this backpack embodies two design principles that characterize the new Mountain Product collection, namely superior ventilation and increased airflow in motion. The basic feature of the collection is the VaporSpan ventilated back panel: designed with an anatomical perimeter structure, this back panel system uses a tensioned mesh, which acts as a spring to support the backpack load and ensure unobstructed airflow. Completing the suspension system, the CloudControl hip belt offers flexible yet stable support. The result: almost imperceptible comfort with top-down ventilation, for a cool back even during the most challenging hikes. 
Arrio features two large angled side pockets in stretch mesh and a front pocket with quick access zipper. Inside, a dedicated hydration pocket with SpeedClip hook securely integrates hydration reservoirs. Trekking poles attach via an upper elastic ring and a sturdy lower strap. The 22 and 30-liter models with top loading feature a quick-draw cinch opening for access to the main compartment. The custom rain cover with fastening clip completes the many features of the three sizes. Clean lines and fabrics with minimal patterns, along with reflective attachment rings and custom-shaped zipper pulls, create an attractive and minimalist design. The backpack body is made of Nylon Ripstop 210D, the bottom is made of 40% recycled Nylon 420D and the lining is made of 40% recycled Polyester 135D from post-consumer materials, all with DWR C0 treatment. All materials are PFAS-free and the buckles are bluesign certified. 
The best-selling Hydro Flask
Hydro Flask will instead provide one of its most iconic models with a new color palette: the 21 oz Standard Mouth bottle. The new range is led by the unprecedented Mermaid Green, a fresh shade inspired by marine hues, accompanied by a selection of colors ranging from the energy of Popstar Pink to the depth of Harbor Blue, to the sophisticated variants of the Tonal series (Agave, Trillium, Birch, Black, and White). 
However, the substance remains what made Hydro Flask famous. The 21 oz Standard Mouth model confirms the use of TempShield double-wall vacuum insulation technology, capable of keeping drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours. The professional-grade 18/8 stainless steel structure ensures extreme durability and maximum taste purity, while the Color Last powder coating guarantees a durable and non-slip finish. Designed for maximum convenience, the bottle is leakproof, BPA-free, and dishwasher safe. With a capacity of 621 ml and a design tailored to fit common cup holders, it represents the ideal solution for those looking for constant hydration with a touch of contemporary elegance. 
Outdoortest’s routes
- Saturday, May 16th from 10:30 to 12: with a length of 3.58 km and a positive elevation gain of 130 meters, this is a short but scenic trek that climbs above Riva del Garda along the paths leading to the Bastion. The route alternates between stretches in the woods and increasingly wide views of the lake and the town below, offering a unique perspective on Upper Garda. With elevation concentrated in a few kilometers, it is the perfect itinerary for a dynamic activation: an intense but accessible climb, rewarded by one of the most iconic viewpoints in the area
- Sunday, May 17th from 10:30 to 13: with its length of 7.49 km and 260 meters of positive elevation gain, the itinerary initially crosses the town of Riva del Garda until reaching the entrance of the historic Ponale road. From here, the route gradually ascends along the ancient road carved into the rock, following the scenic route that overlooks Lake Garda and that for years has represented the main connection between Riva del Garda and the Valle di Ledro. The trek continues along the Ponale road between tunnels, hairpin bends, and viewpoints until reaching the Panoramic Bar Ponale Alto, where the dirt road section of the route ends. From here, you return by retracing the same Ponale road to return to Riva del Garda.
