“As someone who prefers to have a one-size-fits-all sort of climbing shoe, I have yet to find a better option than the Indalo. While I think foot shape plays a large role in climbing shoe selection, and I certainly have a less standard foot shape, which the Indalo supports, (WIDE Toe Box, and SKINNY Heel), I still think I would gravitate towards the shoe regardless.”

“Totems in general are great cams since their lobes activate independently of each other, something other name brand cams don't do. The black totem fits between 0.2 and 0.3 and seems to place securely exactly where you need it when you need it.”

“The garmin is a great watch for any Freediver, but especially one who is also active in the gym and in the mountains. It's the best all around watch, without sacrificing any features in your dive computer. Now with Garmin's new Dive-specific app you can quickly review your dive profile after your dive.”

“When I shoot for film projects, my approach is heavily reliant on the idea that the base shot itself will speak for 80% of the final quality, where editing, color, and sound work to fill in that final 20%. With this in mind, a camera that produces a high quality shot, even when I'm not on my A-game, is paramount. For me, the Sony a7 iii is this camera.”

“If you're going to buy one rope, this is it. 9.5 is the perfect sweet spot to take sport cragging or trad multipitching. The dry treating is essential for a longer lifespan, and the bipattern makes it so you never have to worry about missing the middle of the rope. All qualities I tout highly.”

“A comfortable, dedicated backcountry pack is an essential part of any pow-chaser's kit. The Soelden has a dedicated J-zip pocket for your probe and shovel, as well as a clamshell design to maximize storage and accessibility to the large compartment.”

“While I tend to believe the chalk compound one uses when they climb can be more mentally supportive than physically, when I am pushing my limit and trying the hardest stuff I can, I will always look for the Gorilla Grip. Aside from the long-staying property of the chalk itself, the Gorilla Grip Chunk sizing is effective in providing a smooth fine coat to your hands.”

“My preferred top-rope solo backup device. I like being able to modify the Spoc to keep the teeth engaged 100% of the time. Though modifying gear can void warranty and should be done with the utmost care”

“Do you dive in the cold? Then get one of these. Don't hesitate. This jacket keeps you warm and dry, coming from a small family owned company. Made by a team that's out in the water every day. These guys know what they are doing, and this will keep you cozy in any weather. My favorite pick for dives on the west coast or the PNW.”

“I'd like to highlight scuba features like No fly time, Safety stop, No-deco planner, and Too fast ascent, along with freedive features like, Depth notify, Dive time alarm, and Surface time. While it's imperative to understand how and why dive computers are calculating these metrics, having them easily viewable on your wrist absolutely increases you and your buddy's safety in the water and after your dives.”

“The perfect beginner fin. I've purchased two, I loved them so much. Don't waste your money on carbon fiber fins. Purchase these, bang them up a bit, and take them as far as you can go before you invest in some competition fins.”

“Transition goggles have been a game changer. Not having to bring multiple lenses and worry about which to choose has been so convenient. These will transition differently based on the amount of UV they are exposed to so they truly are the only pair of goggles you need. They also have a vent feature which is a nice touch”

“I wear the speedo version of these when training in the Blue Hole. So far, I've taken them down to 55 meters. They pack in a bag super small and are the best way to strengthen your legs for CWTB while you're still working on EQ.”
Shop at Sunnysports“I have their white version, I love this for fun dives in the ocean. Soft, stretchy, but still warm. Great for the Caribbean.”

“The most comfortable sleeping pad I've ever slept on. It's quiet and doesn't lose air overnight. It packs down super small and comes with a patch kit. The R value is 5.4 so this is a very versatile pad that can take you pretty cold before you have to stack anything under it”
