Outside Voices has been on my watch list for a very long time. In fact over a year. I’ve watched it numerous times. It picks me up, stirs my love for the trails and makes me wonder what running in America is like (the only time I’ve been to America was when I was 13…

I’ve been wanting to try the Whistler for some time. Let me rephrase that, I begged Dave to source one from LowePro to review. When I saw the promotional video, shared by pro photographers I follow and am lucky to be friends with, it looked like it was up for some serious mountain use. Now…
