Gear Reviews
review
The Patagonia Black Hole Backpack may not be well-suited for your tech, but it transitions seamlessly between casual every day and more rugged outdoor use.
review
The costly Veilance Nomin Pack features top of the line technical fabric & considered construction, but the simplistic organization & key clip leave us wanting more.
review
The fitness-focused King Kong Apparel PLUS26 Backpack offers bang on features for the gym, but the shoulder straps are broad, and some pockets can be hard to utilize.
review
While it takes some time to break in, we’re digging the Pioneer Altitude Billfold Wallet’s versatile cash sleeve and technical material.
review
We appreciate the Magpul DAKA Everyday Wallet’s slim and minimal design. We like their reinforced polymer material overall, but it creates caveats with this wallet.
review
The Heimplanet Commuter Pack offers convenient versatility in its external storage & harness system, but the organization is a bit too simple for its use case.
