My favorite thing about winter, a friend once said, is watching it from the West Coast.
The cold. The snow. The posts about the snow and the cold on Facebook.
It’s … amusing.
But it’s not cold here, sirs, so we suggest you get to Mission Workshop, a new outdoorsy boutique in Silver Lake, and stat.
Visit Mission before your next hiking or camping trip.
They have a deft touch for making tough jackets and pants as well as modular backpacks.
Great for weekend travel. Biking. Day trips in the hills.
About those modular packs: we can’t recommend them enough.
They’re good for taking only what you need.
Need more space? Add a side pouch. Carrying a laptop? They’ve got a slim sleeve that attaches to the front.
Their Arce series has hydration packs that carry ten liters of water, are easy to manage and include a tool roll.
Also get the baby-lamb-soft merino wool henley or a pullover for early morning and late evening treks.
