THE PICKS

 

WHY I LOVE THEM

Cotopaxi Teca Fleece  

I'm a fan of small local businesses, (hint, hint) I work for one! How cool is the Cotopaxi story? If you aren't familiar, you should read up on it. Basically they started a company on the basis of "Do Good". They have a super cool sustainability story, and are always looking to "Do Good" or do better. I get kind of a retro vibe from this fleece, it has a nice weight and warmth to it and it's a perfect four season piece. Wear it in the shoulder seasons, wear it camping during the summer, wear it as a layer in the middle of winter, you can't go wrong! 

On Cloudventure

These are the perfect utility shoe. An awesome trail runner that is big on cushioning and big on grip. But who am I kidding? I don't run. But I do like to walk and working retail requires standing on my feet for 10+ hours a day. So ya, comfy shoes are a must. Plus, I like when a athletic shoe doesn't scream "LOOK! I'M WEARING A RUNNING SHOE". Do yourself a favor and put a pair of On's on. You'll never take them off. 

Du/er Performance Denim

Just like I'm not a running guy, I'm also not a denim guy. At least I wasn't. Until I tried on a pair of Du/er jeans. These things are pretty much the lovechild of sweats and leggings, and it came out wanting to actually look like you care to get dressed, or ride a bike, or chop down a tree, or go out to dinner, or go to work. I still am not a "denim" guy, but I definitely am a Du/er guy, cause these things look like denim but most definitely do NOT feel like denim. 

Cotopaxi Reversible Face Mask

Face Masks to match? Duh...
