Editor’s Note: As a collective, the Gear Patrol staff is a wealth of knowledge about products — everyone is an expert in his or her own right. Of course, every story we publish is a testament to that. In our personal lives, we pursue our product passion too. This series is our way of showcasing and sharing our insights on products we inpidually endorse and love and own. Our hope is that you enjoy it all — and perhaps discover something new as you meet our staff over the next few weeks.
I value simplicity; I know who — and what — makes me happy and keep them close. From exploration to exercise, each piece on this list is a staple of my lifestyle that can be linked via a single thread: It all serves as a simple escape from the routine, and each item speaks to my overlapping passions. My advice to you: Find that list of what and cut out the rest. Stick to the gear that serves a bigger purpose.
