Gear Review: The Original Crew By PAKA

The PAKA Original Crew blends comfort and sustainability in one seriously cozy layer. Made with alpaca fiber and organic cotton, this go-anywhere sweatshirt is breathable, ultra-soft, and built to last, whether you're kicking back at camp or layering up for the day.

Gear Review: Six Moon Designs Swift X Backpack

Gear Review: Six Moon Designs Swift X Backpack

I have been using the Six Moon Designs Swift X 50L Ultralight Backpack for a handful of months now and I love it. I can imagine using it for years to come and I might even use it here and there for fast-packing trips. The size and comfort of this backpack are superior to many that I've tested out.
