IN THE BAG
From the urban jungle to far-flung corners of the planet, the Half Moon Weekender Bag from local company Fishpond is a multi-functional carry-on dream. It can accommodate several days of clothing and organize your gear, plus it’s just so ruggedly handsome. “We rarely embark on an adventure without our Half Moon Bag, from a quick jaunt up to the mountains to a long weekend across the country. At this point, it’s just another companion to some of our best memories, and it shows. Over time, the lines and markings on the organic, waxed canvas exterior serve as a reminder of journeys-past.” — Jack Reis, Director of Marketing. $200 at Orvis, 8465 Park Meadows Center Dr., 303.768.9600; fishpond.com

ROLLING COMFORT
Rumpl blankets use 100% post-consumer recycled NanoLoft™ insulation, which is made of tiny circular fiber clusters that mimic the properties of down. Each blanket reclaims at least 50 post-consumer plastic bottles. These blankets can stand up to the elements, whether that’s damp backyard turf or your furry friend’s muddy paws. Just toss it in the washing machine afterwards.We love their National Parks Collection and the newly launched Teton Dreams
