Item: Nathan QuickDraw Plus
I bought the Nathan QuickDraw Plus a couple weeks ago after ditching my trusty old water bottle at the Grandma's Marathon. It was empty, uncomfortable, and just getting plain annoying. I was really impressed with the Nathan QuickDraw. It is A LOT more comfortable than my old one and has a little more storage room in the pocket for nutrition packs. No matter what, I'm not ditching this one next time! I would highly recommend it! Nathan makes a great products!

Item: Craft Bike Bib Short
Craft Bike Bib Shorts are bike shorts with no chance of uncomfortable waistband binding, slipping or sliding. Bike shorts + built-in suspenders = bibs. If you wear bike shorts and haven't tried bibs, you should totally get a pair. They're only a few dollars more than the shorts and make rides much more comfortable.

Reviewer: Katie
Item: The North Face Base Camp Duffel
The North Face Base Camp Duffel (M) is the do it all of duffel bags and the only bag I use. Once you own one it will be the only bag you’ll want to use. It’s the ideal size for a week or long weekend. Snorkel gear and fins fit awesome on the bottom and I love the main compartment and inside zipper pocket for a little separation. The compression straps and comfy backpack shoulder straps make it easy to haul even packed full. The bag is super durable, water resistant and can get toss around without worry about everything inside. Trust me, it's been in leaky planes, wet boats and muddy golf carts and I never had to worry about my stuff.

Item: Personal Pack Towel
After testing this out in the Porcupine Mountains this last weekend, I'm sold. Super absorbent and compact, I can throw this in my pack on a hike or commuter bag on my way to work w/o worrying about weight and space. A must for the everyday athlete or outdoor adventurer.

Here is this weeks Staff Pick:
Reviewer: Trey
Item: CamelBak Arete 18 Pack
The CamelBak Arete 18 is an amazing ultra-light hydration pack. This awesome pack is only $65 and you get the pack and a 2L reservoir. There isn't much to it; it's a top loader, with a small pocket in the lid and two bottle holders on the side. It'll do well for day-hikes from base camp or a nice day hike to Houghton Falls, Copper Falls, or St. Peter's Dome. When it's time to pack out you can convert the pack into a bladder sleeve for use in another pack. It's only $35 more than the 2L reservoir and you get a pack and a bladder sleeve.
