Vasque Mindbender Trail Running Shoes |
|
|
Vasque introduced the Mindbender, a trail running shoe, which is a new addition in the last year. The Mindbender incorporates Vasque’s Perpetuum Last technology.
The shoe’s name implies mind warping abilities, but Perpetuum Last, a technology used in the Mindbener, is billed to give the shoe stability. The technology touts the shoe as a trail runner for longer distances, because it has a roomier toe box and a tailored instep to reduce foot movement.

Sierra Designs Verde 40 Sleeping Bag |
|
|
When shopping for your next backpacking sleeping bag, you will have the urge to purchase the one with the lowest temperature rating. For guys, it’s a measure of their testosterone. On a backpacking trip, each guy will boast about the rating of their bag.
Whoever has a zero or lower-rated bag symbolically pounds their chest as the winner of the warmest bag. At night, the inevitable happens. The “winner” is profusely sweating because he is hot. They fidget all night trying to adjust their bag to reach some level of comfort.

Meandering through your daily errands with a comfy pair of flip flops can make your day more enjoyable. The pep in your step halts when you have a ‘blowout’. The thong on your sandal rips out of the sole leaving you pissed and that much closer to being shoeless. You waddle along to your car and b-line it home feeling like someone just kicked your dog.
The SOLE Casual Flip has the casual look and feel that brings comfort to anything from running errands to shotgunning beers at a Jimmy Buffett concert. SOLE keeps Mother Nature in mind with the Casual Flip sandal . Partnering with reCORK America, a cork recycling program, 35% of the sandal’s midsole and footbed consists of recycled cork.
