Found Friday // April 5th, 2013

I was recently turned on to a fairly cool new sports and outdoors gear website. Hypespec has some seriously nice design and presentation. Each product blurb takes only a minute or so to read so they've set up a nice easy way to digest information on new stuff if you're interested on such things.

Now! On to the reading list!

Outdoors

• Outdoor Women's Alliance posted a monster winter gear review for ladies.
• Tom Stienstra at SFGate dropped some knowledge on where to find wildflowers in the Bay Area in this remarkably poor year for them.
• Runblogger posted a very nice review of the Saucony's new zero drop running shoe the Virrata. Looks like a great running shoe from one of my favorite manufacturers.
• OP Adventure Team posted a huge interview with all of the So Cal outdoor bloggers.
• Keith Foskett shares his knowledge on how to get a sponsorship.
• Winehiker explains how to set group expectations
