REVIEW: Tifosi Sledge VS Sledge Lite

Adam Jaber July 25, 2023

REVIEW: Tifosi Sledge VS Sledge Lite Since 2003, Tifosi has taken pride in offering high-quality eyewear for a fraction of the price of the competition. Now, I know what you THINK that means, but it’s not that. The eyewear still boasts great attention to detail & craftsmanship that many of the “big brands” have. Today we take on some of the big-framed shades, the Sledge & Sledge Lite, and see (no pun intended) what they’re all about. Tifosi Sledge Price: $79.95 Let me open with the obvious, these are very similar sunglasses, likely for the same type of person, with […]

Hot Take: Summer skiing in NZ is a NO

Charlie Walker July 21, 2023

Summer skiing in NZ is a NO Before anyone gets their Kiwis in a twist, let me preface this by saying New Zealand is a beautiful and wonderful country, that at some point everyone should visit. But, what I am saying is don’t go there to go skiing. Go there to go there. Hike all of the little Hobbit trails in it’s picturesque middle earth countryside. Sip all of the delicious savvy B and other tasty wines New Zealand produces. Make friends with one of their 25.3 million sheep and get yourself a nice cozy sweater while you’re at it. […]

REVIEW: Comparing the Hoka Speedgoat & Tecton

Adam Jaber July 17, 2023

Comparing the Hoka Speedgoat & Tecton Leading off with some secret time, I’m not a runner but a complete shoe geek. Hoka has inserted itself as the premier trail running shoe brand & for a good reason. The options are aplenty, but as we all know, sometimes options lead to indecision. Think “What do you want to eat tonight?” type struggles. If you’re looking for a new trail running shoe, I’m here to help by breaking down two of Hoka’s most popular options, the Tecton X2 & the Speedgoat 5. Hoka Tecton X2 Price: $ 225 | Men’s Sizes: 7-14  […]

REVIEW: The 686 Magic Pant is Just That

Adam Jaber July 6, 2023

The 686 Magic Pant Price: $119 | Sizes: S, M, L, XL | Colors: Black, White   I’ve been known to be a bit of a 686 Everywhere pant stan. It’s a great pant and is extremely versatile for those of us that work a day job and need to look good but also want to get a good old-fashioned mess around in the after-hours. It is a traditional pant that can double as an active pant. The Magic Pant is the opposite. It’s an activity-centered pant that’s nice enough to show up to a formal dinner in. Features of […]

There Are Pond Skims And Then There Is The Cushing Crossing

Charlie Walker May 1, 2023

Not All Pond Skims Are Created Equal: The Cushing Crossing For all intents and purposes ski season is over. Spring has sprung, melting away the days of powder and corduroy bliss. Along with gaper days, and harvesting corn, the traditional closing ceremony for many resorts seems to include a pond skim. The ancient Nordic ritual symbolizes the crossing over from winter to spring. Just kidding, I have no idea if that is true. But what is a fact is that pond skims are good clean fun for participants and spectators alike, where sometimes the more spectacular the failure, the bigger […]

REVIEW: Sweet Bushwacker 2vi Helmet

Adam Jaber April 27, 2023

Sweet Bushwacker 2vi Helmet $250 // 6 colors / S, M/L, L/XL Sweet has leaned on the Bushwacker for a minute now as their premiere trail lid, and now it’s back. Features The new Bushwacker offers increased protection and coverage over the previous model. It even complies with all E-Bike standards for those using boosted bikes. Still continuing MIPS usage, it’s even preventative against low and high-speed spills. One of my favorite features is the visor locking system that Sweet integrates. Some helmets use funky little adjustment screws that always seem to come loose. Some have visors that don’t go […]
