Backpacking and Hiking

ProView – Hikers Brew Coffee

March 15, 2021March 13, 2024Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Hikers Brew, ProView Gear Reviews, Running, Snow Ben Dawson Leave a Comment on ProView – Hikers Brew Coffee

Just for fun, and to be thorough, I made coffee using several different methods: french press, pour over, percolator, and using a drip coffee maker.

ProView – Darn Tough Hiking Socks

March 11, 2021March 11, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Darn Tough, ProView Gear Reviews, Running, Snow C.J Munro Leave a Comment on ProView – Darn Tough Hiking Socks

A lightweight pack full of different sock assortments! I was impressed with the light weight, incredibly soft, and compelling designs of the Darn Tough sport weight socks.

ProView- Salewa Women’s Alpenrose 2 Mid GTX

March 9, 2021March 9, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews, Salewa Amber Davis Leave a Comment on ProView- Salewa Women’s Alpenrose 2 Mid GTX

If you’re looking for a lightweight, technical shoe that can be worn all seasons and just about anywhere, then this is the shoe for you!

ProView – Mountain Hardwear Men’s Mtn. Tech/2 Jacket

March 8, 2021March 5, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Mountain Hardwear, ProView Gear Reviews, Snow Craig Rowe Leave a Comment on ProView – Mountain Hardwear Men’s Mtn. Tech/2 Jacket

A testament to GORE-TEX inside and out, the jacket will hold off moderate moisture and the stiffest of gusts long-enough to don your next layer or heavier insulation—or four hard walls and a roof. It's light, comfortable, and designed to…

ProView – Mountain Hardwear Men’s Mtn. Tech/2 Jacket

March 5, 2021March 5, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Mountain Hardwear, ProView Gear Reviews, Snow Seth White Leave a Comment on ProView – Mountain Hardwear Men’s Mtn. Tech/2 Jacket

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this jacket as much as I have. My initial impressions were largely disproven and this jacket has become a regular contender as my daily driver.

ProView – Mountain Hardwear Men’s High Exposure Gore-Tex C Knit Bib

March 4, 2021March 4, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Mountain Hardwear, ProView Gear Reviews, Snow Derek Moody Leave a Comment on ProView – Mountain Hardwear Men’s High Exposure Gore-Tex C Knit Bib

These bibs are made of the best material I have ever used! They are super thin and light, yet stop 50 mph gusts in their tracks and breathe like they aren’t there.

ProView – Cotopaxi Women’s Lagunas Jacket

March 3, 2021July 2, 2025Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Cotopaxi, ProView Gear Reviews, Snow, Travel Dani Reese 5 Comments on ProView – Cotopaxi Women’s Lagunas Jacket

This pack is a fantastic, adaptable hybrid between a rolling suitcase and a travel specific pack - with all the bells and whistles to bring all your gear. It’s for both the casual weekender, gear junkie, or the business traveler,…

ProView – Cotopaxi Men’s Teca Calido Hooded Jacket

February 26, 2021July 2, 2025Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Cotopaxi, ProView Gear Reviews, Travel Harry McSween Leave a Comment on ProView – Cotopaxi Men’s Teca Calido Hooded Jacket

The brand new Teca Calido Hooded jacket from Cotopaxi dresses its wearer to impress. Its style and color will get you noticed from across the room or across the glacier; its insulation will keep you toasty warm whether you’re headed…

ProView – Cotopaxi Women’s Teca Calido Hooded Jacket

February 24, 2021July 2, 2025Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Cotopaxi, ProView Gear Reviews, Snow, Travel Kelly Greene Leave a Comment on ProView – Cotopaxi Women’s Teca Calido Hooded Jacket

When I pulled this jacket out of the box, I was excited to see the retro-inspired styling and colors that Cotopaxi is known for. It didn’t take me long to realize that the Teca Calido is reversible! Something that not…

ProView – Cotopaxi Men’s Lagunas Jacket

February 22, 2021July 2, 2025Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Cotopaxi, ProView Gear Reviews, Travel Patrick O’Hare Leave a Comment on ProView – Cotopaxi Men’s Lagunas Jacket

In my line of work as a climbing guide, having layers that are multipurpose is a must. Cotopaxi’s Lagunas Jacket is an all-season workhorse that still has a sensible crag-to-bar style. Winter is in full swing here in Colorado where…
