Hey Josh, I just got a vario jacket and absolutely love it. I noticed that if I slightly slouch though, that the middle of the jacket (where the zipper threads are) sort of bunches up the extra fabric and looks funny. Did you have the same experience? Maybe I just got a funky product?

@joshfenn

Жыл бұрын

I think I’m following what you mean. This hasn’t really been an issue for me but it’s probably bunching/laying that way due to the athletic cut and the insulation style without any baffling. It’ll do this a bit for me when sitting but I’ve never noticed it while standing. If it lays flat some of the time it’s probably not a product issue but if you’re unsure I’d shoot an email over to OV, their team is extremely informed and helpful in my experience.

We go wither to Higgins Lake or The Au Sable River; moved here about 8 years ago but the winters are a killer. I wear the Pendleton Board shirts as a base layer and they work great.

I’ll have to check those out sometime! Love all of the Pendleton options, being in Portland we’ve got a regular store and outlet nearby us to see everything in person too

Re the Unbound Merino hoodie, I spend chunks of the year in that piece, I actually have two which I rotate. Perfect for the cold mornings here in Northern California about 50% of the year and comfortable enough to wear on anything but a truly warm day. Also excellent when traveling

Hi Josh! Always appreciate your recs! I am trying to find a good warm outer layer, and eyeing the outdoor vitals vario jacket, but as a merino-lover I always have a problem with synthetics stinking up for backpacking purposes. How has your experience been with the vario jacket so far? (Or ur previous outdoor vitals piece)

@joshfenn

Жыл бұрын

I’d say it’s on par with any other synthetic in my experience. I usually don’t have a lot of issues for stink in my mid/outer layers though since it’s not in direct skin contact. My Ventus hasn’t been washed once and still smells okay I think after a whole season of use, but you can always wash as needed a lot easier than down insulation pieces.

Hi Josh, i'm a french canadian from gaspesie and literally a big fan of your work. Just like you, i had a big crush for unbound merino! For the boots, i thought you liked barefoot shoes? Any recommendations for a good barefoot winter boots?

@joshfenn

Жыл бұрын

Definitely a fan of the barefoot shoes! I’m not exclusive to them outside of hiking and have a few low drop pairs of shoes I’ve grown to love as well. I actually just picked these up with the danner boots to have some color/style variety: prf.hn/l/DRqoWWw I thought about including both but wanted to keep the video length down as much as I could. The tread isn’t quite as substantial as the danners so I don’t think they’re as versatile. As a city/town boot though initial impressions are great. Really comfortable, great wide toe box like most zero drop brands. I’ll probably talk more on both pairs down the road as I test them further but both are great so far.

I wouldn’t say they’re itchy, but the lada sweater, wills speckled crewneck, and allpaca hoodie definitely have a rougher texture to the fabrics. Still very cozy and comfortable imo, but any loose knit style of fabric like those will have some roughness to the feel compared to a cotton shirt or something.

It’s because merino wool can be worn for days without stinking and is great for just packing a couple of clothes to last a long trip(mainly useful for one bag travel) but it isn’t recommended to wash merino wool very often because it’s bad for the shirts. So wearing them every day is counterproductive
