UPDATE: Really disappointed with their customer service. After only a couple of weeks, the one shoe developed a small hole in the upper (which does happen, I get it), and trying to get it replaced is like pulling teeth. I’m still waiting to sort …
Over at Gear Junkie, I wrote all about the Essential Swim Gear You Didn’t Know You Needed because, let’s be honest, most of us just assume goggle + suit and good to go. Which isn’t wrong exactly, but there’s a lot of sweet gear …
