What’s in Our Bag? The Faro Team’s Adventure-Ready Essentials

At Faro, we design gear that goes wherever life takes you—and that starts with our own adventures. Whether we’re catching sunrise at the trailhead, chasing waves on the coast, or sneaking in a weekend escape with friends, we know the right essentials can make all the difference.

So, what do we pack when we head out? Here’s a peek inside our bags.

1. The Faro Cup (Obviously)

It collapses. It insulates. It survives the chaos of backpacks and backseats. Whether it's morning coffee, afternoon chai, or end-of-hike electrolytes, the Faro cup is always with us. We use it for everything—and it still surprises people when it folds down to just 2 inches flat.

Pro tip: Clip it to your backpack with a carabiner. Instant trail cred.

2. Lightweight Layers

Adventure weather is… a mystery. Our go-tos are packable windbreakers, fleece pullovers, and quick-dry buffs. Layer up, layer down—it’s the rule of the wild.

3. A Good Book (or a Journal)

Unplugging is the best part. Someone on the team is always toting a half-read paperback or a pocket-sized journal. Great for riverside reflections or hammock reading under the trees.

4. Reusable Utensils + Snack Game Strong

Between us, we’ve got enough granola bars to feed a small village. Also in the stash: dried mango, trail mix, peanut butter packets, and at least one mystery snack someone “swears by.” All packed in silicone snack bags to keep it low-waste.

5. Power Bank & Headlamp

We’ve learned the hard way—dead phone = no maps, no photos, no tunes. And when the sun dips early? That tiny headlamp becomes a hero.

6. Biodegradable Wipes + SPF

Because staying fresh and protected means you can push farther and feel good doing it. Our wipes of choice are plastic-free and compostable. And we don’t mess around with sunscreen—reef-safe and high-SPF, always.

7. Adventure Buddy Vibes

Okay, you can’t pack these—but you can bring them. Every great trip needs curiosity, laughter, and a sense of wonder. That’s the real secret ingredient.

At Faro, we believe the best things in life aren’t things.
But if they are things, they should be light, intentional, and built to last.
