The Ombraz Armless Sunglasses (pronounced ohm-bruhz) are a fresh take on sunglasses eliminating their glasses' arms in favor of a built-in polyester cord. The idea is simple - the arms of your sunglasses are useless and more a liability than an asset. But are they? I've struggled in the past wearing
Bluffworks Horizon Quilted Vest Review
I'm not going to lie, you guys, the Bluffworks Horizon Quilted Vest is the first vest I have ever owned. However, I have had enough experience with Bluffworks that I basically allow them to dictate my entire wardrobe at this point (I have even taken to hiking in their Meridian Dress Shirt). I
Montbell Storm Cruiser Rain Jacket Review
The Montbell Storm Cruiser is Montbell's flagship hard shell and has been a jacket I've been curious about since taking the Montbell Torrent Flier on my Continental Divide Trail thru-hike. Unlike some of my other rain jackets, the Storm Cruiser doesn't much resemble a trash bag and it does more

Bluffworks Gramercy Blazer Review
Getting excited about a new product from a company is not something that I typically find myself doing, but in the case of Bluffworks I've made an exception. I've already reviewed both their Original Travel Pants and their Chino Pants, and if you've read said reviews, then you know where this is
Bluffworks Chino Pants Review
The Bluffworks Chino Pants. They cover your legs and provide a level of modesty suitable for most formal events and occasions where revealing one's leg skin would not be very appropriate (or for just hiding your awesome and/or regrettable tattoos). Long did I scour the globe and the internets for
Mountain Hardwear Chockstone Shorts Review
Despite all the time I've spent tramping around in the mountains, I have had some difficulty finding a pair of shorts (or pants) that I am really excited about and can really recommend to others. The cold usually doesn't bother me too much, so in the absence of aggressive insect swarms, shorts
