Womens Cloudsurfer Next
JaalaI love my Cloudsurfers! Just the right amount of cushioning and really lightweight. I use them for almost all of my road running–anything from 3-10 miles. There’s enough space in the toebox without being too roomy everywhere else and my heel stays in place. I love the color too!
Raleigh
Women’s Solace Sweater
JessicaMy favorite sweater! I have it in almost every color because it is both cozy and flattering!
Raleigh
Men’s Reclaimed Fleece Jacket
Scott WoodI like the interesting texture of the fleece. It feels a bit more durable than other fleece jackets I’ve had. Nice and cozy, but still looks nice when I’m out on the town.

Baby Micro D Snap-T Jacket
Amy QuinnThis fleece is so versatile. It’s not too thick, so it layers just right and is enough by itself for most of the cooler months. The short pile means that whatever my kids find to roll around comes off pretty easily. Both my son and daughter love theirs!
Raleigh
GeoPress Titanium Filter & Purifer Bottle
Rich ChisholmI’ve been a fan of the standard Grayl Geopress, but this new titanium version is so much better. I can also use it to boil water for cooking, and it keeps all the same features as the original but at a lower weight and a tougher material.

Raleigh
Thunderhead Submersible Sling
Scott WoodThis is the pinnacle of fishing sling packs and it’s truly submersible. Deep wading will not get your gear wet, so feel free to swim across that deep pool in the canyon or take wave over your head in the surf. It’s not a problem!
Raleigh
Women’s Diamond Quilted Bomber Hoody
Amy QuinnThis jacket is so lightweight but definitely takes the chill off. It’s a great 3 season jacket, and so versatile!
Raleigh
Stand Issue 10×25 WP Binocular
DrewI’m an avid paddler and spend a lot of my days on the water. The 10×25 NOCS binos are perfect to keep in my boat bag. They’re brightly colored and waterproof so I know I’ll be able to find them when my kids drop them in the water! At least close to the shore, that is.

Anna LawrenceThese are a go to through fall and winter! I just throw on socks when it gets colder. So comfortable!
Raleigh
Hornet OSMO Ultralight Backpacking Tent
Rich ChisholmOn my recent trip to backpack the Teton Crest Trail with my family, this tent really made a difference. It is super lightweight but still roomy enough for 3. Under 3 lbs and really compact with very user friendly features like the light pocket and vents built into the vestibule on both sides.

Men’s L/S Organic Cotton MW Fjord Flannel Shirt
Lee QuinnMy go-to flannel once the weather turns cool! I just keep getting more colors!
Raleigh
Allpa 35L Travel Pack
Stewart KnightAn extremely well-designed bag. Easy to carry and stow with multiple large zippered pockets for separating gear. I’ve packed for a week in the Virgin Islands and a week in the Rockies with just this bag. It’s also good-looking luggage to boot!
Raleigh
Miko 30
Rich ChisholmI think this pack is perfect for my trips that are single overnight, or for a long day hike. It is just big enough without being a full-on backpack size.
Chapel Hill
MG – Operation Blackout
Rich ChisholmThese are affordable Aviator sunglasses with style! I love all the colors but the best thing is how they don’t slip on my nose, are polarized, and only cost 35 bucks!
Chapel Hill

Travis ZarinsThis is my go to jacket for cooler months. It’s the perfect weight for the Southeast.
Raleigh
Women’s Dynama/2 Ankle
Johanna BreedI love this pant! I’ve done everything with it from being on a plane for hours to hiking. I think the tapered cut is so flattering!
Chapel Hill
Dakota Carry-on Rod & Reel Case
Scott WoodThis is a beautifully designed bag that takes the stress out of airline travel with fly fishing gear. I am able to fit at least 4 rods, 4 reels, tippet, leader, and fly boxes for a week of trout fishing with room to spare. I’ve also started using it for local bass and saltwater trips. Everything is safely in the same bag with no bulky rod tubes rolling around in the bed of a truck.
Raleigh
Mini Shoulder Bag
Rich ChisholmThis is a great carry-all bag for those little items you need but don’t have room in your pockets for. I like the over-built design even for something this small – will last practically forever. Detachable crossbody strap so it can convert to a belt bag is awesome!
Chapel Hill
Men’s Bozeman Low Leather
Zach RobertsI’m in my second pair of Bozemans! They are my preferred work shoe and casual wear shoe. The more supportive midsole takes care of my feet and legs all day, while being stylish and comfy for travel and social excursions.
Charlottesville
Atom Sling 8L
StacyThis bag goes everywhere! I take it to the park, to the grocery store, to the trail and to the beach. It fits just the right amount of stuff with just the right amount of pockets.
