Clearly it's been a while since any of us over at Patagonia@Bend has posted. That doesn't mean we forgot about you, and we hope you didn't forget us either. That said, let's jump back in, shall we?
A few weeks back I headed out east to Oregon’s Painted Hills. For those who haven’t been, it’s a unique landscape, one of spectacular color and geological interest. It was a cold afternoon when I arrived, with temperatures in the lower twenties. Later at camp, when the last trace of sunlight faded, it dropped even lower. As someone who runs on the colder side, this trip wouldn’t have been very enjoyable if I hadn’t been accompanied by Patagonia’s Fitz Roy. With a generous dose of 800-fill down insulation, the windproof jacket sealed the warmth in and the cold out.
