Lee QuinnWhat an awesome value! I love that it’s a 3-in-1 with a shirt jack and not a typical zip up jacket. I feel like I’ve got everything I need for the winter in one coat.

Scott WoodWith sizes ranging from 100 liters down to 40, there’s a black hole duffel for everything. I’ve used the 40 liter as a fishing tackle bag, the 55 to pack for a weekend and the 100 liter for week-long expeditions. The unsurpassed durability and water resistance never lets me down.

Rich ChisholmDriving through Yellowstone, we saw a Bison rolling in the dust so we got out these binoculars and were very impressed with how bright and clear they are. My wife thought they were the best she had ever used. Very tough and waterproof as well.

Rich ChisholmOn my recent trip to backpack the Teton Crest Trail with my family, this 3P 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.

Bittu AliThe Jackson Knarr is more than a coastal Kayak Fishing machine. It excels in any flatwater environment where speed, stability, seaworthiness and rigging capability are valued. The new Mark IV Flex Drive has been totally re-engineered, and the kayak has been stress-tested in some of the harshest environments and performed admirably.

Scott WoodThis is my favorite carry on pack. It has just enough organization, including a padded laptop sleeve. It is comfortable even when heavily loaded, and it has handles in all the right places for either carrying it like a suitcase or wrestling it in and out of the overhead bin.

Bittu AliThis cooler is ideal for canoeing, rafting, and long day trips. My favorite feature is the inflation valve that allows for extra insulation. It is a great value and when sealed properly, the contents remain dry in heavy rain and can even withstand a brief swim in a lake or river.
