ProView – Gregory Jade 63

June 14, 2016July 1, 2020Backpacking and Hiking, ProView Gear Reviews Outdoor Prolink 4 Comments on ProView – Gregory Jade 63

This spring I spent a somewhat miserable week lugging some heavy backpacking gear through a desert canyon in the pouring rain. Every time I lifted up my pack, I dreamt about all the ways I could lighten my load. Upon…

June 9, 2016September 11, 2017Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews Outdoor Prolink Leave a Comment on ProView – La Sportiva Hail Jacket

The weather in Colorado is its own animal and I am always struggling to have the right layers for all conditions. I was stoked to try the La Sportiva Hail Jacket because of the way it was advertised, which is: a light,…

ProView – Evolv Kronos

May 26, 2016September 27, 2017Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews Outdoor Prolink Leave a Comment on ProView – Evolv Kronos
