California-based Patagonia will now be providing me with its high-quality technical clothing and apparel. What struck me about Patagonia was its dedication to constantly improving its products, but also its commitment to the environment. One percent of company profits are donated to initiatives protecting our planet. With global warming consistently eroding the length of the ski season every year, this issue affects winter athletes like me directly. I will be evaluating and providing feedback about their products. Already, I am impressed by the new base layer line Patagonia has developed. It pairs Capilene, their breathable and warm synthetic fabric, with body-mapped stitching, which customizes insulation based upon the specific needs of different areas of the body. It’s called Variable Knit Capilene. Try it. It’s the most advanced clothing line available for winter endurance sport. Check out Patagonia's complete online catalog: www.patagonia.com.
