There’s magic in the Bend air. From Riverbend Park to Mt. Bachelor and every trail in between, the community and culture in Bend is unlike anything else.
You feel it the moment you arrive. But more than the mountains, more than the river — it’s the people. The ones who chose this life on purpose and would choose it again. Who wave at strangers, who stay to cheer the last runner in, who build community the same way they summit peaks, together, and with everything they’ve got.
We’ve loved Bend for a long time and are excited to be finally jumping in.
BEND, we’re headed your way! Join us for our grand opening Saturday May 23nd in the Old Mill.
- Open 10AM
- First 50 ppl get a free shirt
- Free shirt when you spend $75 (while supplies last)
- Raffles throughout the day
We’re so excited to be joining the Bend community and bringing our Weatherproof Travel Bags & Apparel to the region. This is our first store outside of the city and we hope you’ll come by!
We are still walking on air after an epic Day Three of Rendezvan – the sun was out, the music was rocking, and the vibes were high. We captured some great moments during The Basecamp sessions in our mobile recording studio, and can’t wait to share, including some fun collabs with @girlsinthepit.pod and @bend0regon - stay tuned!
That’s a wrap for RendezVan 2026. We already can’t wait for next year! Thank you, Mt. Bachelor, for hosting such a fun and free event for the entire family and their adorable pups.
Shout out to DJ Sassy and @vincentantonemusic for starting out the dance party, to @horseshoeshandgrenades for bringing the energy with the strings, and to @andyfrasco for getting the entire base of Mt Bachelor to join in the fun before the crowds danced the night away at the Silent Disco.
Props to our ace production crew @jenniferhylwa + @drewtravisphoto for capturing the magic and @magnethousemarketing for support on socials.
And thank you to @wearewildfang for outfitting the Besties all weekend in our coveralls. You can get your own at the Portland store – use code LIVEMUSICBESTIES for 15% off full-priced items in store.

👀 Sneak peek: a conversation with Tammy Harty, founder of @centraloregonwellnessranch about what goes into training a therapy horse.
We visited the ranch in March to meet their 6 day old colt, and learned about their work supporting Oregon trauma survivors and veterans through individual equine-facilitates therapy and integrative wellness retreats that let clients heal outside of a traditional therapy office.
Learn more about the ranch and donate to this amazing org at .
Comment below 👇🏼 with name suggestions for the colt and stay tuned for more to come! 🐴
