Patagonia Introduces Legacy Collection

In celebration of their 40th anniversary, Patagonia is creating a Legacy Collection of retro-inspired pieces that hearken back to their early beginnings.  These items will be as cool as your dad's old jacket, just not as smelly.  The collection will include old-school sweaters, jackets and pants.  A few of our personal favorites are the Post Foamback Cagoule, the All-Wear Down Jacket, the Diamond Quilt Snap-T Pullover and the Stand-Up Pants.  You can see the whole line in the Patagonia Legacy Lookbook

Be sure to scroll to the end of the page to see a cool video explaining the Legacy Collection and to see pictures of the entire line.

These pieces will be made to the exact specifications that were made forty years ago-right down to the vintage logo.  The Legacy Collection will be extremely limited and we were only able to get our hands on a few items.  However, you'll be able to snag the Diamond Quilt Snap-T Pullover in Gray from the shop, pictured below.

Be sure to check up with us often to make sure you don't miss out before we sell out!

                               

Employee Pick - Chaco Z2 Pro

Staff Member: Alyssa

Hey all! My pick of the week is the Chaco Z2 Pro sandal because you can never go wrong with a pair of Chacos! Approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association, Chaco offers suberb comfort and the proper support your feet need for long hours of standing at work, walking around town, or taking an all-day hiking excursion. Some people even choose to use these guys for long back-packing trips! Since being introduced to Chacos last year, they have become my most favorite shoe of all time. What some people don't know is that the webbing of the sandal is one continuous strap that can be adjusted to fit your feet as tight or loose as you prefer. Along with a wonderful guarantee and lots of fun colors, Chaco sandals are sure to be the best shoe of the summertime to meet all your needs.

New 36 Hours Books

Here at Out There Outfitters, we're huge fans of the New York Times 36 Hours books, and we know a lot of you are too.  In fact we couldn't keep them in stock around Christmastime.  Well, to our delight a shipment of the newest release from Taschen Publishing has come in, and they're awesome!  If carrying around the original book on a quick weekend trip was weighing you down, they have split it into 5 separate books based on regions of the USA and Canada.

Unless you're packing up the VW Bus and planning the next great American Road Trip (which if you are, please bring us!), taking along the original book along with you may not be necessary.  The thinner books are great for tossing in a backpack or carry on, so you can only bring the information you need for the area you're traveling in.

The book gives you an easy to follow itinerary for a weekend trip to many great locations in the US and Canada.  It starts with your arrival on Friday afternoon and gives a complete breakdown of how to spend your time until Sunday evening, including not-to-be-missed points of interest and great places to dine.  There's even a small map with all the itinerary items marked.  Each book is peppered with pictures and stunning illustrations that make it as much a joy to read as it is to plan your trip.
