challenge the big dog!
Monday, May 23rd, 2011 Waterproof, the oh-so sacred art of keeping you dry. Companies used to spend money on innovation, proprietary fabrics, the search for better, smarter. From a evolutionary point of view – variations is good, more in the melting pot, more ideas = better and smarter, we evolve. Back in the day, the [...]
