Stubble & Co.

UK-based performance brand Stubble & Co., known for its functional, stylish, and durable bags, just dropped a new hardshell luggage collection just in time for fall travel. As fall travel picks up and holiday trips fill the calendar, this new addition marks the brand’s first-ever hardshell collection and its expansion into the luggage category. Designed with the same understated aesthetic and focus on durability that runs through the rest of the brand, Hardshell is made for frequent travelers who want their suitcase to hold up trip after trip.

The Stubble & Co. collection is built from aerospace-grade polycarbonate and features Hinomoto multi-terrain wheels, repairable components, and a streamlined design that keeps things functional without feeling overly technical. The entire Pro range also features an aluminum ProFrame for travelers who want added structure and protection. The brand’s co-founders were first inspired during a trip to the Philippines and officially launched their first products in 2017, with a mission to create rugged, long-lasting bags for active lifestyles and travel.

What’s in the hardshell luggage collection

Hardshell 40L ($360) – A compact cabin carry-on built from aerospace-grade polycarbonate with smooth multi-terrain wheels.
Hardshell 95L ($575) – A roomy checked suitcase for longer trips, with the same durable polycarbonate shell and repairable components.
Hardshell Pro 40L ($490) – A more structured carry-on featuring the aluminum ProFrame for added strength and protection.
Hardshell Pro 95L ($650) – The checked-size Pro, with the aluminum ProFrame for extra durability on bigger trips.
Hardshell Pro Trunk 100L ($675) – The largest in the collection, also built with the aluminum ProFrame, designed for extended travel.

These 4 Marriott hotels infuse luxury and wellness into Peru’s most iconic stops

What if Peru hotels offered more than a place to rest your head? What if walking through their halls felt like perusing an art gallery, surrendering into a retreat space, or unearthing history in a classroom? For me, when I’m heading to a country as fascinating and dense as Peru, this is the much-needed counterbalance between long days exploring layers of culture, ruins, and cuisine.

Marriott rises to the occasion with a suite of hotels that extend beyond the generic luxury experience. Their luxury properties infuse local culture and restoration right into your room. This, paired with their signature Feel Well Experience Package, makes the hotel a destination rather than a waiting room, cross-pollinating with each location instead of walling it out.

This growing sport is way more exciting than NASCAR: VIP PBR Rattler Days Experience

The thing I love about NASCAR is the intensity, and the way the whole team relies on each other to be perfect down to the millisecond. I did not expect bull-riding to make that feel slow. After a visit to Winnebago and the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Rattler Days event in Fort Worth, I have to say, bull riding is more exciting (and even more dangerous) than the high-speed races at NASCAR. I can’t thank Can-Am enough for inviting me out for a spectacular couple of days to experience it all for the very first time.

During my stay in the Fort Worth area, Can-Am connected me with the “World’s Greatest Cowboy” Dale Brisby. It’s partly because of him and his social media presence that bull riding has grown as much as it has, becoming its own sport apart from the rodeo scene. With shows like Yellowstone and Brisby’s Netflix special, How to Be a Cowboy gaining popularity, the call to experience Western culture has exploded. Here’s a first-timer’s impression of it all.
