Wearing keens for tubing on the river

Hey guys,

We hope you've been able to get out and enjoy some quality time in nature. We've been experiencing some pretty wild temperature swings here in the Pacific Northwest lately. So we've been bundling up for crisp morning walks some days and jumping in the river to cool off on others. Mother Nature keeps things interesting!

 

We've been busy testing new gear and we just released a list of the 10 Best Coolers. Check it out to find the perfect match for your summer outings!

Also, if you haven't seen them yet, you'll want to give our new Best Hiking Sandals for Men and Women lists a read. There's still plenty of time to pick up some awesome new sandals and get some sun on those tootsies before fall weather sets in.

As always, thanks for following along!

GEAR PICK OF THE WEEK

The Hydro Flask Unbound 22L Soft Cooler Pack is the least expensive backpack cooler on our Best Coolers list, and is one of the most stylish. The Unbound stays frosty for a long time, as you’d expect from a company that knows all about the value of good insulation. It’s also lightweight, comfortable to carry, and it has three convenient storage pockets. The Unbound is perfect for active people who need a grab-and-go cooler for day trips, parks, and road trips.
