Bluffwork pants will change the way you travel

Jogging pants on a plane anyone? We don’t condone it. The reason(s)?

  1. We are a menswear style website
  2. We like looking good and not like a cheese bag
  3. We discovered Bluff Works

Founded by a gentleman named Stefan who worked at a software company but dreamed of the Life of Riley, he came up with a travel pant that would work hiking in the desert of Egypt to dinner at the hotel that evening. We tried out a pair on a recent trip from Charleston to Rome to Sicily to Jersey (the one in the English Channel!) to London to Charleston. Let us tell you we will never travel without our Bluffworks.
Why?

  • You can wad them up and they roll out handsomely.
  • They look great but feel like wearing pajamas on those eight hour overnight flights.
  • There is a hidden pocket for your phone and a zip pocket for your passport.
  • Awesome fit. We thought The Originals were a little grandpa but The Chinos offer a more tailored fit, which we dig.
  • They are quick drying, breathable and moisture wicking.
  • They are made in New York City. Woot!

The pants come in a variety of colors so stock up for your various travels. They are also amazing for bike commuters (like us!) and lightweight enough to wear all summer.

DaKine High Roller snowboard bag review: Traveling like a pro (snowboarder)
The DaKine High Roller snowboard bag meets all of your traveling needs
dakine high roller snowboard bag review hero

A good ski and/or snowboard bag should meet some critical criteria. Your gear should be protected, it should be pretty easy to tow behind you when walking through an airport, and it should carry all the things you need for your snowboarding or skiing adventure. The DaKine High Roller is one of the best available at meeting all of these needs.

No snowboard gear bag is going to be “comfortable” or “easy” to manage whilst walking through the airport. The model I tested is the 175cm version, one of the longest DaKine offers. It’s too much linear room for just snowboards and bindings, but that’s okay. My boards are usually right around the 160cm mark, and once I had edge protection on my boards, there was still a bit of wiggle room on the top and bottom.
