About this listen

 What does it really take to build great adventure gear, and what does packing look like for the people designing it? In this energizing conversation, Jackie sits down with longtime friend and colleague Vince Mazzuca, Osprey's Category Director for Technical Products, to explore how Osprey creates the packs we trust on the trail, on the road, and in the unknown.Vince shares his journey from growing up between Sacramento and Pittsburgh to becoming a Yakima tech rep traveling from Florida to Maine, to working at Ruffwear, and finally landing at Osprey over a decade ago. After ten years as Osprey's Marketing Director, he recently transitioned into product, working with design teams across Colorado, Vietnam, and Tokyo, and shaping how packs evolve for different global markets.Jackie and Vince also reflect on years of creative collaboration, including the award-winning Chiloe documentary and the redesign of the Fairview/Farpoint series. They also dig into real-world packing: organization styles, packing cubes vs. chaos, and the layers and essentials they never travel without. Jackie also shares a bonus for listeners: her customizable Adventure Packing List (linked below). And as Vince says, the best pack is the one that gets you out the door. Book the ticket, go explore, and learn as you go.Resources: Get my Adventure Packing List here - https://travelingjackie.com/packing-list/ Chiloé documentary - https://travelingjackie.com/chiloe-osprey-film/ My go-to luggage for adventure travel (video) - https://travelingjackie.com/best-luggage-for-adventure-travel/ Find and follow Vince Mazzuca IG @vmazzuca and LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/vince-mazzuca-58b14a1a/ OR Echo Hoodie https://rei.pxf.io/POXROMOR Helium Jacket https://rei.pxf.io/VxEAxJPatagonia Houdini https://rei.pxf.io/XmbG4yREI waterproof shell mittens https://rei.pxf.io/GKYn9V Osprey Transporter Wheeled Duffel https://osprey.pxf.io/mOvJyePacking Cubes https://osprey.pxf.io/XmRv3oTravel Accessories https://osprey.pxf.io/RGoN39Osprey Sirrus https://osprey.pxf.io/3JOZBB Osprey Mutant 22 https://osprey.pxf.io/nXGP4ROsprey Garment Folder https://osprey.pxf.io/6yOnPQMore like this: Catch episode 115 with Dan from Osprey Packs in PatagoniaPlease follow the show, leave a 5-star review if you love it, and share with your travel buddiesDon’t miss Jackie’s behind-the-scenes communications - hop on our email list at TravelingJackie.comMassive thanks to Osprey.com and ObozFootwear.com for sponsoring and supporting our show!Please follow the show, leave a 5-star review if you love it, and share with your travel buddies!Don't miss Jackie's behind-the-scenes communications, hop on our email list at http://travelingjackie.com/Massive thanks to Osprey.com and ObozFootwear.com for sponsoring and supporting our show!Produced by NOVATake a leap with Jackie IRL - join us in Greece and Norway in 2025 at JUMPadventures.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
