WHO’S READY TO GET OUT FOR SUMMER ADVENTURES?

You rang? Here at HMG HQ, there’s no shortage of restless legs, packed-and-ready-to-go gear, and long to-do lists we’re looking forward to tackling! Here’s just a sample of what a few of us have on our calendars.

BRIDGET

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

"I I’ve got the 56-mile, 16,000' gain Jigger Johnson race in the White Mountains of NH coming up, and with all the required safety gear, the Pemi 15 is the perfect volume to carry my layers, food, and essentials. Its weatherproof durability keeps everything protected and gives me confidence for whatever the Whites throw at me—even on rocky, root-filled terrain."

SARA

MARKETING COORDINATOR

"In July I’ll be heading out for the ~105-mile Tour du Mont Blanc through France, Italy, and Switzerland—a belated honeymoon filled with big views and even better cheese and baguettes. I’ll be relying on my bombproof Windrider 40, packing the light and roomy CrossPeak 2, and a quilt to stay cozy through the range of alpine temperatures."

ETHAN

R+D DESIGNER

"First camping trip with the boy around his 1st birthday, and we’re bracing for whatever chaos comes with a baby and a dog sharing their first night outside together. We’ll be on a canoe trip with the UltaMid 4 for plenty of space, plus a few top-secret R&D bags tucked in the bottom."

PATRICK

VIDEOGRAPHER

"Climbing in Acadia NP this August has been on my bucket list, and after getting hooked on climbing last fall, there’s no better place than Maine’s coastal backyard. I’ll be putting the Vertex 32 to the test with some pods and a Mid 1—loose plan, but I’m stoked for a local adventure that feels just as big as any international or western trip."
