MIU Color Waterproof Outdoor Blanket For All Seasons - A Quick Review
<p style="text-align: justify;">A compact, travel-friendly, storable outdoor picnic blanket is a great item to have stashed in your car, tote bag, or backpack, during every season. And if it folds down into its own envelope-style storage system <em>even after the first time you've used it</em>, so much the better. The MIU Color Waterproof Outdoor Picnic Blanket delivers, offering travelers a go-to product that can be used as a blanket to sit on at festivals, in parks or camping sites, and in the car (to protect upholstery), and as a tablecloth outdoors.</p>
Truman's Gentlemen's Groomers - A Quick Review
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let me be honest - I'm not a guy that buys a lot of personal care products. In fact, most of the time I use whatever shampoo happens to be in the shower, my old standard shaving cream and frankly that's about the end of it. That all changed 3 weeks ago when Truman's Gentlemen Groomers sent me their complete men's grooming line. </p>
Fight The Elements With The Patagonia KnifeRidge Jacket
<p style="text-align: justify;">It can be hard to think of what gear you need for the next season when you’re still enjoying the one you’re in. When the weather’s nice and the winter chill hasn’t yet hit, it may be a challenge to think about waterproof jackets that keep you warm. But there are two reasons to do it: preparation and sales.</p>
Kelty Upslope Trekking Poles - A Quick Review
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you haven't shopped for trekking poles in a while, you may not have noticed, but they're getting expensive! What was once basically a glorified pair of walking sticks has turned into engineering marvels of carbon. For several years, I've stuck solidly with Kelty, one of my favorite outdoor gear brands that tends to keep things affordable while still cranking out quality equipment.</p>
Hit The Streets In OluKai Pehuea Leather Shoes - A Quick Review
<p style="text-align: justify;">I’m always looking for the most comfortable and versatile travel shoes. You know the ones: You can wear them on the street and in the restaurant, they’re easy and quick to take off and on (for those TSA checks and on the plane), you can wear them all day without feeling like you wore them all day, and they look good.</p>
Osprey Atmos AG For Backpacking And Travel - A Quick Review
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have been using a women's Osprey Aura 50 liter backpack for overnight camping and backpacking since about 2013. I will probably never use another brand again, and feel no need to upgrade my Osprey pack to the newest Aura version, either: I am simply <em>that</em> satisfied with its performance.</p>
SWIMS Loafer Shoes - A Quick Review
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even though summer is coming to a close, it doesn’t mean that travel to beach or pool destinations will slow down completely. That’s why I was excited to check out the newest shoe design from SWIMS, which is known for its stylish shoes meant for pool, beach, or outdoor activity. The SWIMS loafer shoes can get wet and be easily washed, but they also show fashionable, preppy design that makes them perfect for regular wear.</p>
Stay Dry In Black Diamond Liquid Point Shell - A Quick Review
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of my favorites to pack on my adventurous trips is the <strong>Black Diamond Liquid Point Shell</strong>. There’s both a women’s version and a men’s version, so everyone is happy. Most recently, I used mine on a rock-climbing trip to Grand Teton National Park.</p>
Cotopaxi Fuego LT Down Jacket - A Quick Review
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have a serious love for Cotopaxi gear. This grand is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, one of the epicenters for outdoor recreation and exploration, in my opinion. Their apparel and gear is always extremely well made, fun, and colorful. The most recent item I checked out from Cotopaxi is their Fuego LT down jacket.</p>
Climate Case Smartphone Protector - A Quick Review
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you travel often with your cell phone, it can be easily subjected to varying temperatures and climates. For example, sitting on the beach on a hot, sunny day (especially if it has a black case) can help to heat up the case. The same goes for leaving your phone on a snowy day in your car.</p>

Forrest & Harold Signature Leather Money Clip And Slim Wallet - A Quick Review
there are slots for a couple of credit cards, and I liked that the pockets were quite snug so that the cards could not easily fall out. You keep the cash behind the clip, which has a sturdy and firm hold. There’s also a pouch on the outside for another card that you might need to access quickly without opening the wallet and revealing the cash you have inside. In total, there are four slots for storing as many as eight cards.
