First Impressions
1 of 5
Nomadik's tried and true monthly box is always a welcome sight. I like that you can immediately tell this is an outdoor box. Every box comes with a small tri-fold with information about the items and some other info or deals. There is also always a neat Nomadik Sticker.
Inside The Nomadik "Explore the Unknown" Box
Deuter Streamer Hydration System - Retail Price $34
1 of 4
The interior of the Deuter Streamer hydration bladder and the tube are as smooth as glass. Thanks to these molecular features, the streamer is taste-free, very hygienic and easy to clean. The Grunge-Guard layer, which is securely fastened to the carrier material, inhibits the growth of bacteria in the drinking system. The drinking system can be easily filled and cleaned thanks to its wide opening which expands over the whole width – absolutely leak free due to the push clip closure. The attachable protective cap keeps the mouthpiece free from dirt during longer journeys. The whole system is BPA-free as well as PFC-free.
Colter Co. Animal Tracker Bandana - Retail Price $13.99
1 of 5
This bandana from Colter Co. features 17 animal track diagrams printed with habitat maps for North America. It's 100% cotton, measures 22" square, and is made and printed in the USA. I like the idea of a useful accessory. If you're every walking in the wood and wondering what animal left he track you found, just whip off this handy bandana and show up your friends.
NuNature First Aid Gel with Lidocaine - Retail Price $10.99
1 of 3
NuNature First Aid Gel is a great one-two punch for any adventurer to throw in their pack. Start with a basic cleansing with soap and water followed by NuNature First Aid Gel. Our antiseptic gel kills germs to help prevent infections in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. The gel also packs the power of lidocaine for lightning-fast pain relief. I also dig that the cap is child-resistant.
Glitch Energy Drink Mix Stickpack - Estimated Price $2.67
1 of 2
Glitch is a dietary supplement that aims to boost energy, mood, and focus. It's a mix of four essential vitamins, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Grape Seed Extract, and more in a tasty powder mix. This one is peach and it's pretty decent. A tub of Glitch costs $40 for 30 servings. I estimated these two servings at $2.67.
The Verdict
A great installment from Nomadik. I really like the hydration system and how the tube detaches for easy cleaning. My current one doesn't do that. The bandana is great, but unfortunately my cranium is a little to big for such accessories. So I gave it to my daughter, who loves animals, and she has been tracking animals all over the house. The first aid gel went right in my hiking backpack. I'm certain it will come in handy. I can take or leave the energy powder, but it's a nice throw-in. Overall, a solid effort from Nomadik.
