    Caroline“I've found it hard to find a belt and/or vest that fits me super well-and only really recently started using a belt a few months back (thanks for the suggestions Noah!) I've been happily surprised by the snug fit & carrying capacity combo of the Naked belt. Might make a last minute switch for a vest for BA depending on how cautious I want to be with water, but TBD!”

    Caroline“I've had my coros apex 2 for the last 3 years-I'd say it really shines in it's battery life and GPS functioning. There's a lot of bells & whistles with gadgets nowadays, I've enjoyed just having a watch that's got the necessities for everyday training and features to handle the occasional bigger, longer day in the mountains.”
