Mountain Hardwear Monkey Woman Fleece Jacket

Mountain Hardwear Monkey Woman Fleece Jacket

I headed back to CO for Thanksgiving to visit family, and while traveling, I love to have a warm jacket that doesn't make me look too teched out. For this, I brought along my Mountain Hardwear Monkey Woman Fleece Jacket. Mountain Hardwear Monkey Woman Fleece The Good Comfy, true to size, and just warm enough. A 300 weight fleece, it will work great for crisp mornings and cooler evenings. Power stretch panels around waist and around wrists allow for a great range of motion in the arms- no feeling restricted in this jacket! Monkey Phur material allows for greater breathability that an ... Read More...

Mountain Hardwear Skyledge 2.1 Tent Review

Mountain Hardwear Skyledge 2.1 Tent Review

Tents don't wear out per se I just find cooler ones to buy. If your looking to have a tent stay in your pack for years to come the Mountain Hardwear Skyledge 2.1 tent would be my pick. Been using it for a while now and here are my findings. I like how Mountain Hardwear really switched up their tie down material near the stakes of the tent. Its a super thin low-key strap that is surprisingly strong. The top pole that creates space on the roof of the of tent is also nice for keeping the fly away from the mesh which kept us dry this summer. The weight of this thing is amazing. They only use... Read More...

Helly Hansen Crew Shirt - Long Sleeve

Helly Hansen Crew Shirt - Long Sleeve

I thought polypropylene was a thing of the past. I used it back in the day and then merino hit my skin and I have since forgotten the silky threads of poly. If your still not ready to make the switch or missing your poly check out the Helly Hansen Crew Shirt. I got a top this week and the first place I went was the tag. "ugh poly", I thought. And then I concluded that companies spend a lot of time, money, and passion to make their products. I took it running to stroll down memory lane of the ol' poly days. The feel of the shirt is different from the poly I have been use to. The material ... Read More...

The North Face Women's Casual Wear Tops

The North Face Women's Casual Wear Tops

So, we're going to try something new here. I'm going to mass review The North Face's Casual Wear Tops, since I have far too many of them to actually review each piece. Overall, TNF does a great job with their designs and their sizing seems to be right on for me. One of my favorite North Face tops is The North Face Ex-Beau Shirt, a 3/4 length sleeve button up that I can wear to class and on dates, but then also roll the sleeves up and bust out a few routes at the climbing gym as well. Best Feature- sleeves can roll up, and then stay up with the button loop closure TNF has added to each sleev... Read More...
