Power, lighting, and communication—those are the focuses of outdoor gear brand Olympia. “The Olympia brand has been around for over 100 years,” said Product and Brand Marketing Manager John Register. “We started out in Europe as a typewriter and office supply company, and the brand still exists over there in that area—so people know us from that, but the real focus of our brand today is outdoor products.”

I was able to catch up with Register during this year’s Outdoor Retailer Summer Market to learn about Olympia, which just launched in the outdoor space about a year ago. With everything from solar chargers to flashlights to two-way radios, the brand provides what you’ll need from a survival standpoint when it comes to the outdoors. Check out a rundown of the new, rugged products for this year below:

There are eight high-performance flashlights within the brand, which range from 160 to 850 lumens. Each model features Cree LED technology and is made of aircraft-grade aluminum with a Type III hard-anodized, anti-abrasion finish. There are five light settings on each, including strobe and SOS. Each flashlight is waterproof and impact resistant up to 1.5 meters. The most powerful flashlight, the RG850, features a built-in battery charger that allows the 18650 Li-ion battery to be charged within the flashlight. It retails for $89.99.

Headlamps

The Olympia EX Headlamp series includes four models, which range from 80 to 550 lumens. Some of the headlamps feature hands-free activation, smooth dimming control, focus control, a pivoting head, and a lock-out function to decrease battery drain. Some of the models have a rear battery pack with a red light for safety (EX230, EX100, EX080), which is ideal for running, biking, etc. The most powerful is the EX550, which retails for $69.99.
