Traveler's Gear Box: Cocoon's Merino Wool TravelSheet
Merino wool is one of the best fabrics for both backcountry travel and everyday use. It's warm, even when wet, naturally anti-microbial, and wicks moisture from your body. Those are some of the factors that make Cocoon's merino TravelSheet such a great piece to have in your gear box.

Traveler's Gear Box: TravelChair's Paddler Chair
