Wren's Gear Corner: Patagonia Houdini

Posted by CHRISTINE IKSIC on

The Patagonia Houdini is one of those pieces that stays in my day pack no matter the season. It's great for running, cycling, hiking, and every activity in between. The jacket is very light at 3.4 ounces and the zippered chest pocket allows you to stuff the jacket down to the size of an apple. I recently hiked the Chasm Lake Trail to the base of Longs Peak in Colorado and experienced winds up to 40 mph and temps into the 40s above treeline. I thought I would topple over from the wind but kept moving as I put on my Houdini jacket over my Patagonia Capilene baselayer shirt. As the wind was ripping past my ears I secured the hood with one hand and was set to continue my ascent.

Wren's Gear Corner: Black Diamond Cosmo 350

Posted by CHRISTINE IKSIC on
Headlamps are a necessity in my life and have replaced flashlights in our household. Whether it’s for overnight backpacking trips, car camping, lights going out during a storm, or searching for a dog toy that’s disappeared under the couch, they are so convenient. I also like to keep 1 or 2 headlamps in my car for emergencies. Please, no one ask me how many I own!!
