Great Gear from Maxfield Provisions

The folks at Maxfield Provisions provided us with some outstanding quality gear for the Cape Cod Bay Challenge. Shawn was an amazing guy to work with….so much enthusiasm for what he does….a true commitment to quality and a stoke level that goes off the charts. Very infectious too….I always had a big smile after each phone call.

A few words from their website:

“We are Purveyors of Goods Built for the Waterman.  Our purpose is to stock staple goods of interest, value and necessity for everyone who loves the ocean.  All of our merchandise is Made in USA and we take tremendous pride in that.  Everything we produce will bear that quality and our love for all things built to last.    
Mahalo”

Simple words from a small company that others could learn a lot from….not only do they produce extraordinary quality gear, all built right here in the U.S.A., they do it while giving back to the community. Not only did they support our efforts very generously but they also are a percentage partner with Surfaid International, and a sponsor of SEA Paddle NYC for Autism Awareness. Companies like this deserve all of our support. Make sure you visit: http://www.maxfieldprovisions.com

Maxfield Provisions Hydration Pack (you may need to contact Shawn about these…we were the 1st to get them…in a word…awesome) Plenty of capacity (72 0zs), 2 open pockets( 1 full length, 1 half) with a barrel tab strap, 2 zippered pockets (one small perfect for keys and such, the other big enough for a couple of sandwiches and some fruit) You could pack enough provisions for a day trip in this well thought out pack or just filled with water its light enough for that hard workout.

Great fit without binding….I’ve been using this pack a lot and have adjusted the straps to fit perfectly. 10 mile paddles are pretty common….very comfortable.

It even fits old guys that are still trying to lose some weight (It even fit Bill and he doesn’t look anything like that picture of him sucking in his gut from last fall….:) )

How come nobody told me these shorts are this bad? Sheesh…!

Maxfield Provisions Paddle Blade Cover
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such attention to detail paid to getting a logo printed correctly. I really wasn’t too concerned about it but now I’m glad that Shawn and crew were. These came out beautiful. It was funny…before we got them a couple of the guys said “What the heck do you need a paddle blade cover for?” Now every time I see them they have the covers on their paddles. Not only do they do a primo job of protecting the blades of our Oh so expensive paddles but they look too cool doing it. Great workmanship, no doubt about it, these will outlast the paddles.

Maxfield Provisions…great gear from great folks.
