Very stylish and still functional as a windbreaker, the Gore-Tex has lost most of its repellent properties but could be treated with an aftermarket treatment if one so desired.

Vintage cross country ski or snowshoe boots. Very well built Austrian Boots bearing the name Lackner Gregor.
For your bigger day-to-day loads consider this leather bottom JansSport day pack. This model has one main compartment, two side compartments with slide through channels between them and the main. Could possibly be used to hold poles or cross-country skis. Lashing squares: 2 top, 2 bottom, 1 front. Large JS branded leather lashing panel as well. compression straps across main compartment front. Padded adjustable shoulder straps and nylon waist strap.
This little leather square has left an indelible impression on most outdoor enthusiasts, but is it recognizable enough to be a nonfunctional logo? I can’t help but be torn by this use of the lashing square by Undefeated. I wonder, does it simply bastardize the packing world’s beast of burden, or celebrate one of the most perfect, most important parts of backpacking by giving it a rest as a useless icon? I guess it all depends on your reason for wearing it.
The next time you’re in need of a water carrying device grab for the original, fun, water carrying bottle from Open Country. These plastic bottles come in a myriad of shapes and sizes and colors.

Did I mention they’re cheap? real cheap.
