Huckberry x Diemme Roccia Vet Hiking Boot
Handcrafted at the Calzaturificio Diemme factory in Onè di Fonte in Northeastern Italy—the birthplace of high-quality alpine footwear—the Roccia Vet Hiking Boot is the embodiment of rugged durability, built to withstand even the most demanding terrains. This hiking boot is made from premium full-grain, rich brown, fully waterproof cow leather. It sports a rugged 100% rubber mudguard that fends off weather elements with ease and a sturdy yet lightweight Vibram sole that keeps you light on your feet, even on long treks, with a classic hiking boot lacing system with durable metal hardware that ensures a secure fit. A full leather lining ensures that the boot molds to your foot over time, creating a custom fit that feels as good as it looks, and its high-top design provides ample ankle support.
Pioneer Million Mile Backpack Collection
This collection from technical wallet brand Pioneer features three backpacks designed to last a lifetime of travel and adventure. Each pack is made of Mandarin 840, a premium super fabric of twisted yarn ballistic nylon for a denser and stronger weave. The fabric has a rich and unique dobby weave that exhibits excellent abrasion resistance while maintaining a supremely luxurious hand feel. It also features a DWR and waterproof membrane for extra protection.
The three backpacks are the Duration Pack (18L, $349), the Savant Pack ($20L, $369), and the Panda Pack (25L, $425). Each bag offers unique features and benefits while sharing common characteristics. All backpacks in the collection can stand up on their own, which was a non-negotiable requirement for Pioneer. They also feature removable luggage tags for easy identification and security, wide and full-length openings for easy packing and organizing, and custom sculpted zipper pulls placed on large YKK Vizlon teeth, the most enduring zipper available.
CIVIVI Propugnator Ultem Fixed Blade Knife
We’ve always been big fans of CIVIVI and their ability to produce knives that punch well above their price point, and the newly-released CIVIVI Propugnator Fixed Blade Knife reminds us that our admiration is well-placed. Designed by Polish knife maker Piotr Gosciniak, the Propugnator, meaning champion or defender in Latin, takes a lot of inspiration from his PG Knives Defender collection, masterfully crafted to take on everyday cutting tasks. The CIVIVI Propugnator is a fixed-blade knife that features a reverse tanto blade made from D2 steel and polished yellow Ultem on the handle. Ultem is a semi-transparent, high-strength plastic material designed to withstand high-temperature environments, including hot water and steam.
With an overall length of 8.62” and a blade length of 4.15”, the CIVIVI Propugnator proudly showcases everything we love in our tactical knives, with a great balance of sharpness, durability, and easy maintenance and an ergonomic handle for a comfortable and secure grip.
