At a time when users seek flexible, versatile options for everyday life, it’s no wonder that brands like Patagonia are using advanced technology to make day-to-day life easier. While they’re known for their outdoor gear and adventure-seeking customer base, Patagonia has become a go-to brand for durable items that can last for generations. Whether it’s vests, jackets, or gear, Patagonia’s versatile lineup lets its users wear its items beyond the trail. This concept resonates primarily with the brand’s latest release. The PowSlayer Pack 38L is crafted for skiers and snowboarders ready to hit the slopes, but its dual-use design and maximum storage make it a versatile EDC bag or travel luggage. While its oversized shape might be too big to replace your briefcase, the PowSlayer Pack has just enough compartments to hold your items while traveling by bike or road tripping over the weekend. 

Meet Patagonia’s newest sleek, multi-purpose backpack 

Made for all types of snowsports, Patagonia’s PowSlayer Pack 38L is full of storage from the outside to the inside. Axe loops and a helmet holder on the outside make it easy to carry bulkier items without having to lug the bag around. Padded shoulder straps, sternum straps, and hip belts give users the mobility they need while traveling, without the worry of pain. The ultimate benefit of the PowSlayer Pack is its extensive zippered pockets and internal storage, making it the only bag you need for travel. Crafted with a rigged shell structure, the backpack doesn’t lose its shape when open or closed, a plus for anyone on the go. With all of the security and comfort of a snowsport backpack and the practicality of an EDC or travel bag, the PowSlayer Pack is the ultimate versatile pick. The Patagonia PowSlayer Pack 38L is available via Patagonia’s webstore for $249 in Black and Barnacle Blue.

Your summer shades are tired, it may be time for an upgrade with KREWE’s expert advice
Accessories, Sunglasses, Face

There are few things better than putting together a great look, checking yourself in the mirror, and then going for that perfect pair of sunglasses to slide on and complete the outfit. Your shades are the completion of a transformation from indoor to outdoor. They are functional in that they protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. And they keep you from getting that annoying headache resulting from squinting all day. But they are also an amazing stylistic opportunity. They can become your statement piece; just ask Elton John if they are simply functional. But how do you select the right sunglasses to upgrade your collection? I was recently in the KREWE store down in the Meatpacking District and discovered that shopping for shades can be more than just scrolling online; it can be an experience unlike other shopping outings. After my experience in the store, I asked KREWE to spread the knowledge for shopping for new shades.

The best sunglasses are the ones you instinctively reach for day after day. But if your current pair is starting to feel a little too familiar, it may be time for an upgrade. – Kate McCabe, Vice President of Brand Marketing, KREWE
