Expandable Backpacks

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

Mission Workshop offers two expandable pack models; the large Vandal and its medium brother, the Rambler. While they aren’t a ‘tactical’ company, their internal framed packs are pretty cool. Touted as weatherproof they feature an expandable main cargo compartment that can be configured for use as either a “roll top”, or a traditional “flap down” opening. Made in America with a lifetime warranty, the bags are offered in a variety of colors including a ‘digi-cam’ that looks mysteriously like Woodland MARPAT.

Another Barefoot Running Option

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Beginning in February of 2011 you will have another option for barefoot running. The Evoskin from Inov-8 Ltd weighs a scant 3.5 ounces per foot. This light weight can be attributed to the material used to manufacture the Evoskin; silicone. As you can see, the toe pockets are molded directly into the footbed. What is interesting is that they have integrated a strapping system across the top of the foot.
