Review: 100 Nights with the Peak Designs Roller Pro

Quick Take: The Peak Design Roller Pro is a unique take on the classic roller bag that leverages Peak Design’s broad range of packing cubes, camera cubes, and accessory bags which makes it a great fit for those with a broad range of travel needs. It is a pleasure to use, has held up well to abuse, and has a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic that stands out in a sea of competitors.

Industry Spotlight

Industry Spotlight: WeatherGear

WeatherGear was founded on the principle that serious truck owners — whether they’re running forest service roads on a weekend overland trip or hauling gear to a remote job site before dawn — deserve a cargo protection system that is truly up to the task. The flagship product, the TruckDuffle, is the result of countless miles of off-pavement travel, blunt conversations with people who’ve carried heavy loads in hard conditions, and dissatisfaction with the rigid, limiting solutions the market had long offered.

Industry Spotlight: Off-Road Business Association (ORBA)

The Off-Road Business Association is an advocacy organization that represents motorized off-road businesses. ORBA’s member businesses represent the full spectrum of entities that support the overlanding, powersports, racing, four-wheel drive, and motorcycle disciplines of off-roading, including OEM and aftermarket manufacturers, retail and e-commerce businesses, installer shops, local and national clubs, professional and grassroots racing organizations, trade shows, and industry professional organizations.

Industry Spotlight: Off-Road Travel TV
