Choose independent gear specialists for big adventures

<p>We love backpacks, hydration vests and outdoor gear to carry more outdoor gear as much as the group above love their handbags, clutches and purses. We&rsquo;ll drop top dollar on a pack comprising the toughest materials known to man, then coddle it. A loose thread? A scuff? Some oxidation on a YKK zipper? The mind begins to catastrophise, &lsquo;It&rsquo;s going to fall apart!&rsquo; or &lsquo;How can this happen if I spent $xxx!?&rsquo; well, sometimes sh*t happens.</p> <p>We doom scroll the online stores of the Patagonias and Hyperlites of the world. Then, track down local retailers to touch, feel and see how those straps sit on our shoulders. To feel how the sternum and waist straps hug and tell us, &lsquo;Let me take the load off your shoulders.&rsquo; &mdash; oh, if our gear could talk.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@creativeathlete/choose-independent-gear-specialists-for-big-adventures-c23bff0bda73"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
