I received Julbo’s Elevate sunglasses in May- just in time for the beginning of mountain biking season! Living in the front range, I have access to tons of trails, some right in my backyard. I took these glasses on sunny,…

If you haven’t noticed, Outdoor Prolink is a dog-friendly office. And when I say ‘dog friendly’, I mean we all really love these dogs. Stinky, muddy, semi-wet, treats from the UPS man, a leather couch to lay on, multiple desks…

ProView – MSR Trail Base Gravity Filter System

April 10, 2019January 7, 2021Camping, Climbing, MSR Trail, ProView Gear Reviews, Water Outdoor Prolink Pro Leave a Comment on ProView – MSR Trail Base Gravity Filter System

Water is often scarce in the desert (if you haven’t heard). I’ve been in some pretty sketchy circumstances on 100+ degree summer days 15 miles into the backcountry only to realize that the promised spring at my destination had run…
