After almost 4 years of working strictly from home, I have started to ease back into office work again. That means that work wardrobe has been pretty stagnant for a while and was in need of a bit of a refresh. We recently got our hands on some new gear from Mountain Khakis, and we’re excited to share our experience. From lightweight performance pants to versatile shirts, each piece we tried out offered a perfect…
Even when we are showcasing new-to-us companies in the running sphere, it’s always amazes us when we stumble upon those who have been in the game for such a long time but just out of radar – not by desire, but just hadn’t yet made a connection.

I never thought I’d be the type to fuss over my socks until I experienced the sheer bliss of slipping into a pair of quality ones. As a runner, comfort was always a priority, but I never realized how much of a difference it could make until I upgraded. Now, I can’t imagine hitting the pavement – or really even just walking around in life – without a blend of support and cushioning wrapped around…
Those of you who have been reading this blog for a while, know that I have a little bit of a “thing” for men’s underwear. In fact, there was a time where I was reviewing men’s underwear on a monthly (or even bi-weekly) basis for a bit. It’s been just shy of a year, but we are back with our 16th post on men’s underwear – courtesy of Krakatoa. The Company: Krakatoa was founded on…
