Happy Mother’s Day weekend, sweet friends! Although this Mother’s Day looks different from any we’ve ever seen, I hope you feel loved and cherished on your special day! Our daughter will be here for a few more days before she heads up to her summer gig at Starlight Mountain Theater in Garden Valley, Idaho. (Yes, it’s ON!) We’ve enjoyed her so much the past few months, and having her home has been really good for our relationship. I’m thrilled that she’ll be here on Mother’s Day! My oldest son came in from Austin for the weekend, and brought me a...

The Black Diamond Solution Guide Harness offers support, comfort, and extreme durability in a trad-specific harness. Climbing brands usually reserve advanced technology in a harness design for high-end sport climbers. As such, these svelte models continue to get lighter, sleeker, and more minimalist.

Spring is swingin’ and summer is coming in hot. If you haven’t already ditched your wool pants, chances are you’re sweating, shopping for spring clothes or both. Men’s chinos are everywhere right now and are exactly what you need to crank your work wardrobe into high gear.  The best men’s chinos, like your stay-at-home sweats, are built for both speed and comfort, especially when the weather heats up. They’re a great change from the typical suit pant or the trouser you’ve been wearing since October and offer something more appropriate for the warm-weather seasons. Even during the work-from-home grind, wearing...
