There aren't many places in America where you can loop 25 miles of trails, hit multiple bodies of water, and still feel like you're right in the middle of it all. Austin—the city we’ve called home for over five years now—is one of them. Since relocating here, we’ve learned a thing or two (or three) about conquering the peak season. Open water, shaded patios, and ice-cold cocktails are helpful, but the right
gear makes all the difference. From technical shorts and lightweight shirts to footwear that works in and out of the water, these are the essentials we swear by when the heat takes hold. Along with a quick trip to our favorite spring-fed pool and our go-to cocktail, they help us make the most out of summer. |
