A sister brand to Hydro Flask, OXO Outdoor debuts exclusively at REI with products to tackle camp cooking and cleaning.
This month, REI will showcase a new brand in its stores on its site, although co-op members have probably seen it before. OXO housewares commonly grace the aisles of department stores and big box retailers like Bed, Bath & Beyond, so it might seem a curious move to target outdoor enthusiasts.
But today, the kitchen and bath mainstay spins off into a new segment with OXO Outdoor, a lineup of “durable tools to meet the unique needs of campsite kitchens.”
The initial rollout will debut exclusively at REI with 10 products. However, both OXO Outdoor and REI said they will evaluate customer insights to bring more products into the line next year “and beyond.”
“Our research showed that outdoor-focused consumers were not provided access to high-quality, functional cooking tools designed for the outdoors, and as a result many used worn or retired tools from their homes. OXO is creating better gear for better outdoor cooking and cleaning experiences, uniquely framed for campers and their needs,” said Larry Witt, president of housewares for Helen of Troy, the parent company to both OXO and Hydro Flask.
