Facing the Challenges of the Outdoors
We have just returned from our annual trip to Door County, Wisconsin. Lots of stories which I will share in future posts. Today, I want to discuss the elements.
We head to Door County the first weeks of June. Spring has still a lot of roaring to do this time of year, but work obligations force our choice. To be honest, I don’t mind the weather. It adds a bit of excitement to camping outdoors.
As I’m always reminded during the first rainy days, performance clothing such as North Face is definitely needed. You can’t face blinding rain without the proper clothing, nor can you skip taking a hike or going geocaching just because it’s raining. I recall a quote by the writer Colette who began each day with a walk. The reporter asked her what she did if it rained. Her response was, “I walk in the rain.” Brilliant!
If you’re looking for a waterproof, lightweight jacket to get you through the wilds of early summer or anytime when Nature has her say, than the North face resolve jacket can’t be beat. This is North Face’s answer to Gore-Tex. Their material is both waterproof and breathable.
For me, those two qualities are imperative, especially during the warmer times of the year. The last thing you want while geocaching or just taking a pleasant walk in the woods is to be uncomfortable. Waterproof is one thing, but breathability makes the walk pleasant.
What I like about North Face is all the little features developed obviously by people that trek outdoors. I like big pockets for caring my wallet, my smartphone, and other necessities. I want my hood to fit tight so I don’t have to wear a hat underneath. North Face has all of these. Not convinced? Check out this video for more info. Until then, cache on!
