Tired of Your Hiking Shoes Failing You? Salewa MTN Trainer GTX Reviewed

The Radical World of BN3TH

We dropped into Vancouver International Airport on a Tuesday for a few days to dig deeper into BN3TH and the team. What we knew was that they made men’s underwear.

As a Canadian, I know a thing or two about flannels. Some might say we are all born wearing one, I have yet to check that fact tho… But one thing I do know is that a flannel jacket is a key component to any good Canadians wardrobe.
