0:00.0	Hi everybody. Welcome to another episode of Gear 30 on the Blister Podcast Network. I am
0:10.6	thankfully not Jonathan Ellsworth. I am Sam Shaheen, a senior editor at Blister, and you can
0:16.0	check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at blisterreview.com.
0:26.1	Today I am talking to our managing editor, Luke Kappa, about the enormous amount of new apparel that has arrived at HQ over the past few weeks.
0:29.7	Luke and I both nerd out pretty hard when it comes to this stuff, and our conversation

1:17.5	Sebastian is also a Master Fit certified boot fitter and specializes in free ride and free touring

1:33.5	Now let the Apparel Geek Out begin.
1:36.6	Hi everyone. I am with Luke Kappa and we have a whole showroom full of brand new apparel that has rolled in in the last week or so.
