Have you ever used an item so much and for so long that it’s intertwined with your sense of self? For a little kid, it can be a favorite blanket or stuffed animal. As an adult, it can be a necklace, car, hair style, etc. For me, it’s my jandals. The Pali Hawaii Jandal to […]

A few months ago, I reviewed Vivobarefoot’s Primus Flow road shoes. These were my first pair of barefoot shoes ever, and it was an awesome roller coaster of an experience. The only con I could find with those shoes was the inability to wear them anywhere besides a paved road. Aka, I couldn’t run on

I’m not terribly familiar with bougie active wear brands. I know about Lululemon and that’s about it. But five months ago, I saw a cool looking pair of $90 running shorts that were 40% off at Backcountry. $90?! That’s $20 more than Lululemon’s bestselling shorts! I would NEVER spend $90 on a pair of running

Whenever I see a big company like Brooks selling a pair of shorts for $70 or more, my first thought is how much they’re marking up the price. My second is if they actually did their homework and made a properly good product? Because when I see that high of a price for shorts, it’s

Brooks is known for their Ghost running shoes. When I first started running, that’s what I was told to get. They were known as the best starting point for new runners. They were supposed to be solid, comfortable shoes, whether you were a beginner or a professional. I never experience those things with a Ghost

I’ve been using the Altra Experience Wild 2s for the past couple months. And the question I’ve thought about on nearly every run is, “Who should buy these shoes?” Altra makes a better trail running shoe, the Lone Peak 9, that’s the same price. They also make a road running shoe that’s the same price,

$100 for a pair of Nike running shorts? Why are the Breathe 4” running shorts that expensive? I tried Nike’s Trail Second Sunrise shorts last year, and those were beyond impressive. Except can pick those up on Amazon for ~$70. So why spend another $30 for these? Well… I wouldn’t. And here’s why. No Joke

Most of the time when my wife and I go on a hike together, it’s a nice break from reality. We’re able to mentally reset from a world that’s “go-go-go” 24/7. However, every now and then a hike goes beyond that. It restores and inspires. The Lake Solitude via Cascade Canyon Trail at Teton National

A few days ago I wrote a quick review of the Nike Miler Dri-FIT Running Tank. I shared how it reminded me of James Bond’s style; cool, yet subtle. The Nike Solar Chase Dri-FIT ADV Running Tank, is on the complete opposite end of the cool spectrum. It’s like the Robert Downey Jr. of Nike
