Gear Reviews
review
The professional-looking VESSEL Signature 2.0 Backpack uses interesting materials, but misses on some little things, like quick & efficient strap adjustment.
review
While we think it could benefit from more organization, we’re fans of how seamlessly the EVERGOODS MPL30 (V2) transitions from urban to adventure carry.
review
What the Minaal Daily 3.0 Bag lacks in structure, it makes up for with above par protection for your laptop, clever organization, and light weight.
review
The Rumpl NanoLoft Travel Blanket is a small, warm, packable blanket convenient for travel, although it’s not the easiest to compress.
review
Although we’d prefer more laptop protection, we’re digging the Mission Workshop Transit Duffle’s versatility, convenient level of organization, and ample space.
review
The Cote&Ciel Isar M EcoYarn Grey has an ergonomic, fashion-focused design, but lacks in functionality as a result.
