GearJunkie on

At #Interbike this week. Digging the Giro Prolight Techlace but $400 is what it costs to shave a 1/2 lb off your feet on race day.

Paddler @drewzieff commandeering a ship on the "high seas" with a simple bullwhip lasso (look close!). 📷: @_paulvincent_ #eboriginals #liveyouradventure #kayaking #gearjunkielife

Interbike 'Dirt Demo' today. The Marin Hawk Hill may be only $1500 but it punches above its weight for an entry-level full suspension bike. #interbike #dirtdemo #mtb #mountainbike #gearjunkielife

Downtown #Seattle with #Rainier looming in the background. We visited @eddiebauer HQ last week to see their 2017 gear firsthand. Fun fact: Many of the original down mountaineering pieces from Eddie Bauer were tested out on the slopes of Rainier; what better proving grounds than that! 📷: @_paulvincent_ #eboriginals #liveyouradventure #gearjunkie #gearjunkielife
