Larry & Alex, the father-son duo behind Roam & Shelter, are a powerhouse producing everything from bike packs to outfitting your adventure rigs. They first caught my attention last August at the Made Show. I was glad to learn about another local business that is passionate about what it does. Something about small-scale, family-run places just speaks to me. Perhaps it reminds me of my family in Kuwait; growing up in that environment, created a soft spot for such operations because I know the dedication and time poured into their day-to-day, and that’s precisely what I saw at R&S. The personal level behind their products, skills, and customer relations is evident with every stitch, fold, and outline. With a mission to stay outside longer, they certainly make the right products to make that a reality.
