Review: SunGod’s Super Durable Polarized Travel Sunglasses

Full Disclosure: We reached out to SunGod asking to test out their Classics2 travel sunglasses, and were given 2 pairs in exchange for an honest review. If you buy them through the links below, we get a small cut of the profits and we’d really appreciate it. However, we’d never recommend something we don’t truly like, and I feel very confident recommending these shades. Too Lazy, Don’t Wanna Read? SunGod...

Essential Gear You Didn’t Know You Needed for Your RTW Trip

My current One Bag is the Tom Bihn Tri-Star, which is 33 liters. It’s small, so I can’t fit all the RTW gear I want, and I pack very carefully. Here are some of the things I’ve brought or acquired that I’ll never leave home without, ever again. Vapur Element Water Bottle (or Eclipse) I’ve never had a $10 travel item I liked more than this. For lightweight travel, this bottle is a massive improvement over...

Anatomie Skyler Pants Review

For 3 months I traveled with one pair of pants in my backpack: Skyler travel pants from Anatomie. First off, the good side of my Anatomie pants… They were great hiking pants. They are super lightweight, stretchy, and quick-drying. But they can also double as nice ‘go out to dinner’ pants. You would never know they had gone hiking the day before, unless you forget to wash off the mud. I have the Skyler pant in the...

Tom Bihn Tri-Star Travel Bag Review

This is not an unboxing review like you see all over the web. We’ve been using Tom Bihn Tri-Star as our only bags for the last 4 months as we make our way around the world. We’re proud to be from Seattle, and were excited to represent when the Seattle luggage company Tom Bihn offered to give us a bag each for our adventure. Both of us decided on the Tri-Star bag because it is maximum legal carry-on size for the discount...

Review: Wool & Prince Better Button Down

Full disclosure: I got this Wool and Prince Better Button Down for free in exchange for an honest review, but I don’t get paid commissions if you buy one. As with all of our reviews on est2010, we only endorse products we actually love. In preparation for this big trip, my wife gave me some amazing pants from Bluffworks, and after I few weeks of wearing them I tweeted about how much I liked them. Their marketing team got back to...
