William FikeKuhl pants just got Kooler with this model. The Kanvas Lite fabric performs like a synthetic but has the feel of cotton while the Klassik fit still gives you the mobility desired with the dressed-up look. Always a go-to pant for any evening adventure on the town.

Rich ChisholmThis is a rare 4 person tent tall enough to stand in, so it is a great choice for small families or couples looking for extra room on camping excursions. Single wall design makes this very easy to set up and extra ventilation windows help keep things cool on warm days.

Bittu AliBadfish uses the most sophisticated construction of any Inflatable SUP. The unique double skin drop stitching and double-layer stringer construction offers rigidity and performance typically seen in a hard-shell composite board. The Monarch is Badfish’s most versatile board and is well suited to general-purpose use such as cruising, light surf and yoga.

Rich ChisholmBeing a side sleeper myself, I think this bag design is long overdue. Big Agnes has really perfected a simple but effective design to keep you comfortable and warm when sleeping on your side. Full zippers make it easy to ventilate as well.

Bittu AliIf you’re looking for a cross between a dog harness and a dog pack, the Ruffwear Switchbak might be the ticket. The Switchbak offers all the features of a dedicated dog harness such as dual attachment points and padded straps but can also carry small essentials with its two low-profile zippered pockets.
