ProView – Darn Tough Men’s Lifestyle Socks

November 16, 2020January 6, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Darn Tough, ProView Gear Reviews, Running, Snow Seth White Leave a Comment on ProView – Darn Tough Men’s Lifestyle Socks

I love socks and I hate socks. During the summer, if my feet aren’t stuffed into mountaineering boots or running shoes, I don’t see a lot of need or desire to stifle my little piggies with a pair of socks.…

ProView – Darn Tough Hiking Socks

November 9, 2020January 6, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Darn Tough, ProView Gear Reviews, Running, Snow Roxy Dawson Leave a Comment on ProView – Darn Tough Hiking Socks

The days of free feet are coming to a close. As my partner calls shoes, the “foot prison” season is upon us. That means the inevitable decision to find the right sock for the right job will come up every…

I have been wearing the Darn Tough Lifestyle socks regularly for the last few weeks. I have previously spent most of my time wearing the hiking version of these socks, which I love, so I was excited to try out…

ProView – Ultimate Direction Dog Vest

November 4, 2020January 6, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, ProView Gear Reviews, Running, Ultimate Direction Mollie Bailey Leave a Comment on ProView – Ultimate Direction Dog Vest

Across a multitude of adventures my pup, Roux, got to wear Ultimate Direction’s simply named Dog Vest. We ran, played in rivers, went climbing, got stormed on, got muddy, and generally had the best times ever as all adventure dogs…

October 30, 2020January 6, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, La Sportiva, ProView Gear Reviews, Running Sara Briley Leave a Comment on ProView – La Sportiva Lycan

Several years ago I decided I was tired of traipsing around the forest in big heavy hiking boots so I decided to trade my big boots in for a pair of La Sportiva Bushido trail runners. I was immediately hooked…

ProView – Darn Tough Crew Socks

October 16, 2020January 6, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Darn Tough, ProView Gear Reviews, Running, Snow Harry McSween Leave a Comment on ProView – Darn Tough Crew Socks

I’ve been wearing nothing but Darn Tough’s Lifestyle Crew socks (on my feet that is, get your mind out of the gutter) for the past two months and I love them. I tried my best to abuse these socks as…

ProView – Ultimate Direction Ultra Vest 5.0

September 28, 2020January 6, 2021ProView Gear Reviews, Running, Ultimate Direction Harry McSween Leave a Comment on ProView – Ultimate Direction Ultra Vest 5.0

The Ultimate Direction Ultra Vest 5.0 has an impressive name. It’s the 5th iteration of something that is both ultimate (sounds impressive) and ultra (sounds even more impressive). Hoping the vest would live up to its name I spent a…

You and your overpacked car hit the road, and before you know it, an unknown trail grabs your attention. The length is as uncertain as the terrain, and the distant rumble of thunder instills hesitation, but you push forward. Now,…

The Adventure Vesta 5.0 is a bigger capacity running pack designed for longer trail running adventures. With 16.5L of space you can plan and pack safely for an all day (and all night) backcountry adventure. It accompanied me on my…
