The hose kit has made my Nalgene bottle far more usable, either on the bike or in a pack. Being able to stow the large bottle away and not have to unack or unstrap it to drink is a winner.
This shirt is so soft and light, even with the long sleeves it generally feels like you can’t possibly be wearing something so technical that provides the protection it does. I went with the OR Sunhoodie as it’s on the thinner, lighter side of the sunhoodie spectrum and I tend to always be hot when it’s over 10°. This shirt provides the protection I wanted with comfort exceeding what I expected.
I don’t like downplaying good quality equipment, but if you know Outdoor Research this product won’t surprise you. It is top notch as they always are and are known for. I went with the Foray because I run hot and I loved the full side zips, not just pit zips. The jacket is light, Packs small, strong, and works great. Worth every penny and then some. There’s a reason OR has the reputation and following it does.
I made the switch to nalgene containers and I haven't looked back - no leaks in my back, or breaks from dropping them. Super solid, leak proof, easy to use.
Will always have these in my kit.
Upgraded my toiletries containers for on and off the trail, these are quite thick material and I've not had any accidental spills or breaks since switching over.
A small cost for a sound product, backed by great service from the team at Past Outdoors.
