As the lead Bontrager apparel designer, I anticipate the moment

wear-test samples arrive.

This, a weekend of solitude to evaluate, reflect, and prepare for

another season ahead.

We toil, we hone, we work years in advance.

Visions of what an experience should be.

Developed from intuition earned over thousands of cumulative miles and

constructive insight.

These garments, this gear, intended to make sure you #neverstopriding.

My first honest look at the fruits of labor.
