January 1 is not only special because it is the first day of the year, but it is also the first day of the decade; the beginning of the 2020s, another year and decade to explore the world and embark on new adventures.
Activities outdoors have long been proven beneficial to one’s health. Getting that extended period of fresh air, exercise and enjoyment gives the mind and body a real boost. It doesn’t hurt feeling refreshed once in a while before going back to the grind.
Those whose New Year’s resolutions include traveling and going on more adventures, getting new functional—and stylish, too—apparel and accessories must be on top of the list.
After all, a can-do attitude and open mind paired with equipment that let one survive delays at the airport or sleeping out under the sun in a far distant land is the perfect combination for any kind of adventure.
