Arc’teryx Atom Hoody Review
I've been running mostly in my lululemon insulated jackets for years, but as those have worn out, I decided to branch out. The Atom hoody is one of Arc'teryx's most popular, do-everything styles, and everyone I know seems to have one. Like a true social creature, I had to give it a try too. I bought it to use for winter running, hiking, and backpacking. This jacket was formerly known as the ...
Arc’teryx Kyanite Fleece Hoody Review
I hardly ever go anywhere without a jacket, and a good fleece is worth its weight in gold. I most often wear my fleeces for casual around town use, hiking, and around camp.

I am between sizes, typically ...

By the way: the luxe stronger hoodie is on sale, so if you want to wear it as a jacket for chilly spring days (and hold onto it for next winter!), you can save ...

With the weather cooling off, I decided to spring for Athleta's stronger hoodie to see if it fit the bill. I took the tags off this jacket right before 4-day trip to southern Utah a couple weekends back and I ended up wearing it literally every day. Since then, I've worn ...
Review: Lululemon Extra Mile Jacket vs First Mile Jacket
Continuing with this week's theme, I've got another lululemon showdown for you. This time, the theme is winter running jackets. I have the first mile jacket (in darkest magenta) from last winter's collection. This year, lululemon iterated on that with a new design: the extra mile jacket. Both are designed to be cold-weather running/active jackets and both were priced at $228. In this ...
