Posted by CHRISTINE IKSIC onWren's Gear Corner: GSI's Java Drip Ultralight
Posted by CHRISTINE IKSIC onA must have for campers and backpackers alike. This lightweight and reusable pour over filter will be your new best friend! Don't sacrifice your good cup of joe in the AM. I used to carry instant coffee and would just gulp it down for the morning caffeine rush but with the Java Drip I'm able to have my enjoyable cup of coffee like I'm back at home with my pour over. The Java Drip is a great gift idea for that person that has it all or to add to your kit to make those mornings in nature even more enjoyable. Cheers to that!
GSI's Infinity Backpacker's Mug
This is a family favorite at 3ROC! This mug weighs in at just 3.5 ounces and is lined to make measurements while making camp meals or just measuring water at work for my noodles a breeze. Sometimes the most simple product can complete your kit!
Wren's Gear Corner: Exped Ultra 3R
Posted by CHRISTINE IKSIC onThe Exped Ultra 3R Sleep Mat is one of the best in the market! Swiss engineering wins with Synmat Technology that will keep the insulation lined and ready for 3 season use for a lifetime. I've been using this pad for almost a year and I love the simplicity of the Schnozzel pump bag that inflates the pad in minutes and doubles as a great waterproof compression sack. Alternatively, you can use the Exped Widget that inflates your pad, works as a lantern, and charges electronics via a USB connection.
The pad feels super durable with 20 D ripstop polyester and I never feel as though I need to be "dainty" with it. I love hitting the trails with the Ultra 3R knowing that I'll be well rested and ready to put in the miles each day. It's also great for car camping and I love that Exped also makes a double size mat, on my wish list!, so that there are no gaps, which I know the pups will love! See yinz out on the trail!
Stop by the shop, say hi, and check out our selection of sleeping pads!
Wren's Gear Corner: Leki Micro Vario COR-TEC
Posted by CHRISTINE IKSIC onWhat I liked about it?
After using cheap trekking poles for years I upgraded to Leki Micro Vario COR-TEC trekking poles last fall and haven't looked back. I love how compact and easy to use they are. The cork grips are also great as they don't soak up sweat and are more durable over the long run compared to foam grips. My favorite feature is the z-pole fold design that makes it super easy to pack for air travel at 15 inches.
