Staff Picks: Gear We’re Loving Right Now
…etc. Now I ALWAYS have one on me in the wild. Nolan Isozaki Suunto Ambit3 Peak My Suunto Ambit3 Peak has been my go-to adventure watch for the past few years. Although I love analog watches, they just don’t track the parameters that are important to me out in the field. It can be used to measure stats such as mileage, altitude gained, horizontal distance, and heart rate, everything you would expect a “fitness watch” to track. On top of that, you…
Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2018: Recap Part II
…ne of the things we love about Outdoor Retailer is the chance to talk with designers and hear about their process designing the bags we’re seeing. Case in point is the new Yampa dry duffel from OtterBox.

I try to understand the nature of a material, like a leather or a fabric and use them to their strength or intention. I believe that on a molecular level every material has an “intention” a…
