Erica Schlatter, Backpacker Reader Reporter

Our Reader Reporter Erica takes one last tour to gather a wish list of her favorite items at the 2012 Summer Market.

Our Reader Reporter's mission for the day: find the best new mountaineering boots, sandals, and low-cut hikers.

This northeast native Reader Reporter searches for the best in three-season hiking warm and outer layers.

Our Reader Reporter made a splash with the paddling and watersport accessories she found at Demo Day, including a paddle, a rain-proof pack, and an accessory to make your paddleboarding a breeze.
