When it comes to riding with a camera, unless I’m on a paid assignment, I just stuff a mirrorless camera into my waist pack. Easy access and convenience rules, but it does put a lot of wear and tear on camera equipment, so when the Osiris and Co Camera Body Armor popped up in a […]
Review XP C300 4k Action Camera
We have a few GoPro cameras in our bag, but at this point they’re both a bit dated, so when the folks at Review XP reached out to ask if we wanted to try the 4k C300 Action Camera, our answer was an enthusiastic yes. The Review XP Action Cameras are extremely affordable, with the C200 […]
Ping GPS & Bluetooth Tracker
We find ourselves using the Find My Phone app on our devices regularly, so the option of tagging our favorite gear and vehicle with this option is extremely appealing. Ping is a GPS locator that features cellular, GPS and bluetooth for the best in both worlds. While featuring a small form factor, it also claims […]
Bonx Grip Bluetooth Earpiece for Hands-free Group Talk
Walkie talkies are a great way to stay in touch with groups of friends on the mountain. Though we mostly have used them for communication with the crew when we’re snowboarding, we’ve been talking about getting a set for mountain biking. The downside is that they’re bulky, and unless you have a pack with a convenient spot to […]

Stuff We Like: Ricoh GR Compact Camera
Unless I’m shooting for a paycheck, I’m not interested in toting a 20lb. pack of camera gear on rides. That doesn’t mean I don’t like or want to capture moments from our rides. Fortunately I don’t have to lug around a huge pack just to get a few decent photos. We used to carry an inexpensive […]
Review: Timbuk2 Snoop Camera Messenger Bag
There was a time when I lived with a Timbuk2 messenger bag on my back. The thing accompanied me everywhere; in fact, years later I still have that damn bag, and although it looks a bit beat-down it is in decent shape and completely functional. Now that I’m 10 years older and my back started […]
Reviewed: The Lust worthy Vapor Pro iPhone Case
When the new iPhone was finally released after a long wait, I finally pulled the trigger and upgraded from my 3g model. Other than a small crack in the plastic backing, it has held up well. Much of its longevity can be attributed to the number of different protective cases on it during its 3+ […]
BoomBotix Portable Speakers
I remember the first time I received a boom box for my birthday as a kid. It had a AM/FM radio, and a dual tape deck – and I was stoked. It meant I could head out to the lake with my friends, talk smack, drink wine coolers, and listen to the mix tapes we […]
