Professional Gear Reviews
Everyone loves a good pair of boots and socks. For the last week, I’ve been wearing the Bogs Bedrock 8″ Composite toe men’s waterproof leather work boots. I’ve been wearing them with Coronado tactical boot socks from Farm to Feet. Check out the video review below for a look at one of the most comfortable […]
It’s odd how you learn about companies and how that forms an opinion on the company itself. I first heard of Merells in reference to expensive boots for women. In Florida, we don’t wear winter boots often and it seems as soon it dips below 60 the women of Florida switch to their fanciest winter […]
Petzl specializes in two categories: vertical environments and headlamps. This isn’t a surprise as the inspiration for the Petzl company began nearly a century ago when Fernand Petzl was exploring the Dent de Crolles in France, one of the deepest known cave systems in the world. Petzl dedicated himself to developing the technical gear required to […]
I doubt anyone is unfamiliar with Hydro Flask, but just in case you are, they are one of the most popular bottle manufacturers on the market.

The premier feature and ultimate sales pitch behind this bag is its waterproofness, warranting an in-depth breakdown in this review. […]
Grab your gear and go. In the military, especially in Ranger School, you are taught and instructed to never have more than one item out of your ruck at a time. It was always entertaining to see some guy in the position next to me with both boots and socks off just as that fateful high pitched squeal […]
Ever buy yourself a fancy flask only to immediately regret your decision when it leaked all over? Well, the new Stanley Master Flask lives up to its name and doesn’t disappoint. The Master Flask is one of the most robust flasks available on the market. It is capable of being a worthy companion and accompanying you on […]
Grey Ghost Gear has released a hydration-capable EDC pack, as suitable for the needs of gym-goers, runners, and Crossfitters as it is for professional door kickers. An aesthetically appealing and ruggedly durable solution for EDC and exercise, the T.Q. “Thirst Quencher” Hydration Pack holds a 3L hydration pack in its main compartment, with room left […]
