The Gear Guru

 

Whether you’re looking for the perfect t-shirt for your sibling, the best backpack this side of the Mississippi, or the water bottle that’s just right for your next adventure, look no further! The Gear Guru is here to illuminate all the possibilities in the wide world of gear. These products have been tested, tried, and trouble shot all around the globe. The right gear is not only crucial in order to be successful and safe, but when you look good, you feel good, and who doesn’t want to feel good?

 

1. THE PERFECT T-SHIRT

 

There is nothing like a worn-in t-shirt that fits you just right. You know the one. The shirt you throw on when you get home after a long day or pack to accompany you on any and every trip you take. T-shirts hold a special place in our hearts. We have broken them in alongside our friends, repeatedly stuffing them into backpacks and duffel bags, sweating in them time and time again.  T-shirts hold memories, maybe even some lingering smells. They are constant companions of the adventure seeking and relaxed souls alike. Their versatility provides comfort beyond the perfect fit on our shoulders or softness against our skin. We have t-shirts for years and years and they see some of the coolest places we will ever go. You know the ones.

 

2. THE HOODIE TO END ALL HOODIES

 

Did someone say they were looking for a hoodie that is just soft enough, just the right colors, with a front pocket that envelopes your hands in comfort? Well, we heard you and here it is: the hoodie to end all hoodies. Sliding into one of these feels like crawling into your bed after a long time away, the perfect thing to throw on first thing in the morning before making your oatmeal. In this hoodie, you are at once delighted by the softness while simultaneously surprised by the perfect medium weight. After you have it on, feel free to pop that hood up too. The ideal layer to have with you on the road, either doubling as pillow or cinching the hood to block out the sun. Believe us when we say, perfection has been achieved in hoodie form.

 

 

3. THE BACKPACK FOR THE HIKER AT HEART

 

Are you backpacking this summer, winter, or any time in between? We have the pack for you. This pack comes in lovely shades of blue and sits perfectly on your hips. Whether you’re trekking in Northern Italy or through the Alps, this pack will get you there. This Deuter 40 Liter pack will start to feel like an extension of your body, like a turtle’s shell except in blue. With enough nooks and crannies to hold everything from your most essential belongings to treasures you may find along your journey, this backpack has it all, ready to be stuffed to the brim.

 

 

4. THE CLASSIC WATER BOTTLE

Staying hydrated is so much easier and enjoyable when you have a fantastic water bottle to sip from. Purify your water in the backcountry in a Nalgene you love to look at. Almost indestructible, water bottles tend to hang around for years if you can keep track of them. Some like to adorn these classics with stickers from Moondance summers, family trips, and beyond. As your sticker collection grows, your water bottle becomes a time capsule of memories. Fill up, sticker up, drink up.

 

 

5. THE ONLY HAT YOU’LL EVER NEED

 

Heads. We’ve all got one; therefore, we all need a hat. Not just any hat, we need a hat that covers your face from the sun while simultaneously letting your head breathe. Hats are not only functional, but equally fashionable. Whether you’re wearing it straight forward, to the side, or even backwards, you’re wearing it right. With a hat like this there’s no wrong way to wear it, and you may never take it off.
