A running list, kept honest

The Thomas List

Gear, bottles, and odds and ends I've actually bought, used, and would tell a friend to get. No sponsored placements — just the stuff that earned a spot.

Heads up: some links below are affiliate links — I may earn a small commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. Details.

How things end up on this list
