If you’ve been following along on Little Grunts, you know how much I absolutely adore anything merino wool. I mean anything that keeps me lazy and stink free (and also helps to conserve water) is fantastic in my book. When Woolx sent me their new lightweight Base Camp Hoodie, I immediately fell in love.
“The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco” may or may not be something Mark Twain said, but it’s true. Summer in San Francisco is no joke. With Karl the Fog lurking around the corner and chilly ocean breezes, layers are a necessity. The New for 2015, the Outdoor Research Umbra Hoody should be a staple for every San Franciscan.
True Life: I hoard insulation. Synthetic, natural, fleece, down, Primaloft… you name it, I will probably come up with an excuse as to why I want it. When I saw the Triple Aught Design Valkyrie LT Hoodie at their warehouse sale for just over 50% off, I had to have it. I’d been lusting after it since one in the perfect size slipped out of my hands at last year’s sale. This was my chance.
New to the Outdoor Research lineup this winter is the Constellation Hoody, a mid-layer jacket with the perfect blend of tech and casual.
Autumn is upon us! Leaves are changing & falling, the streets are littered with discarded Starbucks pumpkin spice latte cups, and it’s time to break out those sweaters! Except for one problem, I don’t really own any sweaters. The Arc’teryx Covert Hoody will have to do, right?
