As an editor obsessed with gear, while watching *Hacksaw Ridge* recently and hearing the classic line "Let me save one more, one more, just one more," my mind kept automatically switching it to "Let me buy one more, one more, just one more"......
After rummaging through my home, I feel like I don’t have any decent gear to show off at all. I really don’t know how I managed to go rock climbing and mountaineering last season “naked” and “bare-handed”......
Fortunately, the ISPO Beijing 2017 exhibition held at the Beijing National Convention Center from February 15–18, 2017, brought a slew of new products that truly fulfilled all my fantasies—stylish, practical, and classic.
Fear no cold when climbing, dread no challenge when scaling cliffs. Let’s go exploring together!
