REVIEW: Tifosi Sledge VS Sledge Lite
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 […]

REVIEW: Comparing the Hoka Speedgoat & Tecton
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
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 […]

REVIEW: Sweet Bushwacker 2vi Helmet
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 […]

A Price Point Mountain Bike You Can Actually Ride
A Price Point Mountain Bike You Can Actually Ride Finding your first real mountain bike is one of the hardest things about gear buying. Do you get something more expensive? Do you need a full suspension? Is it a good deal? So many questions that require answers, and most of those answers are entirely too subjective. First and foremost, I truly believe if everyone on earth was only allowed to own one bicycle for their entire life, it should be a front suspension mountain bike, AKA a hardtail. These bikes open up vast terrain, are relatively low maintenance, and are […]

Favorite Technical Hoodie Ever
Favorite Technical Hoodie Ever This little company called IBEX is well known for making some of the best merino wool layers on the market and has excelled in doing so for some time now. I never thought I’d be entering them in as a submission for “Favorite Technical Hoodie Ever” – but here we are. The IBEX Wool AIRE Hoody ($285 MSRP) I got sent this hoody back in November to do some testing – and honestly thought it would end up being a “twice-used” deal for someone else on eBay before I tried it on. Incorrect assumptions are a […]
