Highly Commended

These are the pieces that just missed out, and in most cases, by the smallest of margins. To them, we award a High Commendation. The below were of outstanding quality, displaying fine craftsmanship and design flair. With honor, we bow our heads in the utmost respect and kudos. If this were a dais, they’d be biting their teeth into silver medals, while their flags were hoisted into the horizon – a feat not to be overlooked. And we’re sure they’ll be back, to take it one notch higher, next year.

Western Rise Evolution Chino

Western Rise have proven time and again that they know how to deliver some of the most versatile, travel-friendly clothing on the market. And they’ve done it again with the Evolution Chino. Smart enough for the city but packing in features that make it suitable for outdoor exploration too, the Evolution Chino is a great choice for one-bag travel. The gusseted crotch and four-way stretch fabric provide comfy mobility, while the moisture-wicking and quick-drying material works well in warm weather conditions.

The clean silhouette also makes the Evolution Chino easy to dress up or down, so you can move easily from a work meeting to a quick trail hike or transition from a day of sightseeing to a night on the town. The inbuilt stain resistance also helps keep your travel laundry requirements down, while the lightweight and packable build makes the pant convenient to stash in your travel carry. Stylish, multifunctional, and easy to pack, the Evolution Chino really does take your travel setup to the next level. Fantastic effort, Western Rise!

Tracksmith Eliot Runner

Shoes are some of the bulkiest items you’re likely to pack in your luggage. So ensuring you have a comfortable and versatile pair is key to keeping your carry bulk down. Enter the Tracksmith Eliot Runner. At its heart it’s a technical running shoe but it also serves well as a cross-trainer, making it an adaptable choice for trips to the gym, running, and general about-town exploring too.

The shoe is wonderfully lightweight and extremely comfortable thanks to the Pebax® footbed and midsole for superior cushioning and energy return, paired with a comfy engineered mesh upper. If you’re looking for an adaptable everyday trainer that will embrace running, gym workouts, and day-to-day sightseeing alike, the Eliot Runner is a worthy addition to your packing list. High five, Tracksmith!
