Patagoniacs

Eve's Day: gone surfing, or not...

Big and muddy, and cold. Tomorrow may be, if I'll find a heaven place.

But nice colors.

Testing Patagonia stuff : sun, rain, dirt !

Yesterday, 1h30 of mountain bike under a nice sun.
2h of bouldering, cloudy.
Today, 2h of mountain bike, raining, dirty paths, cold wind.

Tested and approved :
- Yesterday , for a nice weather, but still not too hot : the Men's wool 2 T-Shirt. For the mountain bike, just put a windstopper fleece on it (I forgot the name of my patagonia fleece for this). For bouldering, just put a R1 flash Pullover.
- Today, raining, cold, dirty : the Men's wool 3 crew, a men's jetstream jacket.

And for all these activities : the men's active Sport Brief. Ok, it looks like it's a detail, but when it's getting cold, rainy, and dirty, or too hot, you'll appreciate to have your little things at ease :-).

To be honest, I have tested a lot of different things in different weather conditions. And still, after all these years, I love the Patagonia gear ! Efficient, well done !
