Gear Reviews

review
The Bellroy Laptop Caddy can pack a 16-inch laptop and its cadre of bulky accessories, but its lack of a handle makes it a bit clunky to carry.

review
The Lumintop GT Nano is incredibly bright and can throw light 300 meters, but the charging method makes it bothersome to bring on trips longer than a weekend.

review
The NOMATIC Navigator Sling 10L is a capable sling pack with thoughtful organization for everyday carry, though it’s not the most comfortable for long-term use.

review
The leather-clad Bellroy All-Conditions Card Pocket’s rigidity protects your cards, at the cost of sometimes feeling too bulky and stiff.

review
