Gear Reviews
review
The Boundary Supply Prima System Modular Travel Backpack has a lot of clever features—although the components don’t feel as cohesive as we’d hope.
review
The WANDRD DUO Daypack is a camera-focused bag with some innovative features—although we wish it felt more cohesive.
review
Simple and durable, the GORUCK Wire Dopp is a solid place to organize tech accessories—although it can get lumpy when fully packed out.

Simple and durable, the Herschel Supply Co. Tour Hip Pack (Small) is great for carrying the bare-minimum essentials—we only wish it had interior pockets.
