Let's face it, we don't always want to look like we just finished up a hike or a ski. This section is for those other products we need when not pursuing outdoor adventure. We've reviewed bags, shoes, and clothes from the likes of Kuhl, First Ascent, Osprey, YETI, Mountain Khakis, Royal Robbins, Voormi, Icebreaker, Mountain Hardwear, Lole, Chrome and Ahnu Footwear. Did we miss anything? if so let us hear it.
