Huckberry and Lululemon Team Up for the Perfect Hybrid Jacket
…into is the shiny exterior! It isn’t a huge issue when you’re halfway up a peak. But personally when in town, or headed to dinner, the matte exterior really comes into its own. You can enjoy dinner without screaming “LOOK AT ME, I EXERCISE OUTSIDE!” Huckberry are experts at the crossover game, and the aesthetic choices made here place the Navigation Down Jacket with one arm in town and the other on the trails. I found the cut to be just right for…

Roew Roll Top Board Bag Review
…d Bag is the Kickstarter project of Joey Cunningham. Joey is a designer at Peak Design and a surfer. Somewhere in his brain, the frustration of average surfboard bags bubbled up into a project that would not rest. Surfboard bags could be better. He had a few key gripes with board bags. Corroded or broken zips, a lack of size adjustability, and (in my opinion, the worst) a soggy, moldy, stinky bag. So with his bag design pedigree, he set out to ch…

…is achieved by first calculating the emissions for the entire product life cycle and then paying to offset those emissions through a carbon offset program, which might include things like investing in planting trees or cleaning oceans. Peak Design and Biolite’s Climate Neutral initiative is a fine example of this in the carry industry. Hang out for Part 2 later this week, where we chronicle the entire life cycle of a fully produced backpack design…

The specs speak for themselves on paper – Thunderbolt port capable of 40gb/s transfer speeds, incredible 1,000,0000:1 contrast ratio from the XDR liquid retina display (which also has a peak HDR brightness of 1600nits!), an Apple made M1 silicon processor, speedy 5G cellular connectivity – the list goes on. However, I’m not going to get into the weeds about these features in technical…

Tasked with putting the new Bellroy All-Conditions Phone Pocket through its paces the sun, surf and smoke of Lombok seemed to fit the M.O. quite nicely.

Packing 101: How to Pack for a Backpacking Trip

This is a generalization of what I’d eat on a weekend trip. I’ll need to fix myself some PB&Js before heading out, but I like the simplicity of the freeze dried meals from Mountain House for impromptu adventures. I keep my food in yet another dry bag that’ll get tossed as a bea…

…f a secret CIA city hidden in the mountains and of an airstrip that at the peak of operation was said to be the busiest in Asia. It was called Long Tieng, LS20A, or simply Alternate. But it was also known by another name, The Most Secret Place on Earth. As a visual documentarian concerned with ideas and methods around the visualization of conflict, I began to think about how to tell the story of a covert war that didn’t officially happen. What kin…

Verdict If you’re still with me up to this point, then it should be no surprise that I am very impressed with what NOMATIC has pulled off. My only previous experience with them is through their notebooks which my fiance uses for planning, but after using the Messenger, I am cu…

…, the (ridiculously named) WANDRD Prvke, the Nomatic backpack, or the Peak Design Everyday Backpack. Those are bags you want to be seen with. Those bags call attention and demand to be commented on by passersby. The Adapt is not these things. The Adapt doesn’t care about being hip or stylish. It just wants to get you out into the unknown, exploring and being able to adapt (I see what they did there) to what comes your way. Who It Suits Convenience…

Chrome Industries Avail Backpack Review
…ase of the pack. In comparison to other packs with articulating harnesses (Peak Design Everyday Backpack for reference) I found the harness to be slightly constricting for those with broader shoulders. This is nitpicking as it wasn’t a huge annoyance, however it may be useful to note for those with broad shoulders. Also, there’s no waist belt. To address this, Chrome designed a sloping back panel which hugs the lumbar and presses it in place. It w…

As of this post, the campaign is sitting at $6.9M and with 24 days to go, it’s sure to go through the roof. The story is how compact they were able to get the total package, when collapsed. It fits in the profile of a water bottle! They were able to accomplish this by tossing aside the convention of tubular legs, and ins…

The fit and finish is impressive and the design is the perfect combination of classy and casual that could appeal to everyone from a mail room clerk to the company CEO.

Was there anything from the past that you hesitated on that you would kill to have now? I’ve always regretted not jumping on the GR1 before the price hike. I still think about getting it pretty regularly but have always decided against pulling the trigger with its price tag. Now with th…
