For The Digital Adventurer: Slicks Travel Pack

In today’s world, it’s not uncommon to come across global travelers remotely working their way across unique landscapes via coffee shops and video conferences, or businessmen-turned-adventurers milking their latest work trip for some extra adrenaline. No matter what kind of nomad you are though, staying connected and organized is a priority. With checked bag fees on a never ending climb, being able to simplify your luggage and packing list is important, and that’s where the Slicks Travel Pack comes in. Featuring organization for everything from your daily bike commute to extended adventure travel, this mighty little pack eliminates the need for carrying extra luggage when you’re traveliong off the beaten path.

The main body of the pack is built to act as a pack, sling bag, or briefcase depending on how you stow the shoulder straps. When deployed, the comfortable harness is as at home tackling beaches and trails as it is an urban environment. Additionally, it will accommodate a fifteen inch laptop securely for travel. Multiple organization compartments keep a spare pair of shoes (or other bulky items) and high value electronics stowed securely. Reflective hits and an included rain cover make this more than just a drab commuter bag though. Combined with the comfortable back panel and smooth body, these features make it an ideal tool for everything from cross continent hauls to weekend getaways.

Where the Slicks Travel Pack really shines though is in the removable organizers. With both a suit bag and mobile wardrobe organizers, you can fit much more than simply a day’s worth of office gear. Fully expanded, the pack easily swallows your favorite suit for that job interview or big presentation, but also everything you’ll need for some after hours adventures – all without the worry of wrinkles or mixing up dirty laundry with your clean dress shirt. Sure there are other bags that can handle this, but at twenty-five liters, the Slicks pack packs much more into a compact – and stylish – package than that ancient rolling bag you deal with now. Their Kickstarter is fully funded (and only has a couple days left!) so make sure you get one ordered soon, or you’ll be stuck waiting through the best summer and fall travel without one.

What to expect at the Scottish Open — without looking too far ahead with The Open around the corner
The Scottish Open returns to The Renaissance Club, just outside of Edinburgh.
Field, Nature, Outdoors

The Genesis Scottish Open is here. It feels like a major tournament. Keyword, feels. The actual major tournament, The Open, golf's oldest tournament, is scheduled next week. But the field in Scotland is not treating the Scottish Open like a tune-up to The Open. If nothing else, the field at the Renaissance Club is excited about the mix of players scheduled to hit the links.

While, yes, PGA Tour players like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are expected this weekend, fans should also expect to see, yes, LIV Tour players. That's because the Scottish Open is co-sanctioned by the PGA and European Tours. So, while the PGA Tour banned players who defected to play with LIV some four years ago, the European Tour has allowed them to play at its events.

Cape Verde’s miraculous run is what FIFA World Cup is all about
It's easy to see why almost everyone was rooting for Cape Verde in the World Cup.
Cape Verde World Cup team

I'm here in Mexico City for the summer, and watching World Cup games with such a rabid fan base has been nothing short of spectacular. Every game is hyped. Every bar and restaurant has rows of TVs with the volume turned all the way up, and everyone's having a blast drinking chelas (beer for the non-Spanish-speaking folks) while watching the intensity of it all. For group play, I've been watching from the comfort of my sofa. But after watching Mexico dominate in group play, I was determined to watch as many knockout games as possible at a packed bar to breathe the atmosphere.

And I'm so glad that I did.

Novak Djokovic now holds the all-time record for most men’s singles match wins at Wimbledon
Djokovic persevered in a grueling match to accomplish the feat.
Novak Djokovic

The king of the most revered grass court in the world is no longer Roger Federer. The crown now belongs to one Novak Djokovic, who needed every bit of grit and moxie to stake his claim as the all-time men's singles match winner at Wimbledon.

To get there, Serbian superstar and 7th seed had to dig deep to persevere against world No. 132 Roman Safiullin, who endeared himself to tennis fans by stretching the Centre Court match to extra sets on Sunday. It was no easy task, to say the least. Djokovic looked visibly frustrated throughout the match. At one point, Djokovic let out an audible obscenity, which triggered a warning from the umpire. He also uncharacteristically double-faulted, which might have been the result of vision problems on the court.
