I just returned from a hiking adventure in the Gila wilderness in southwestern New Mexico. My wardrobe consisted of some very basic performance pieces that were lightweight, breathed well, and were quick drying from Patagonia, Icebreaker and Teko-- all lines we’ve carried at Birch. These companies offer great options for outdoor comfort. I highly recommend their merino wool pieces. My hike one day included multiple icy stream crossings and my merino wool socks worked beautifully to warm up my cold feet afterwards.
If you often wear performance clothing, here is an option you may want to check out. While looking for sustainable and simple style choices for the active life, I came across a company called Beyond Clothing that custom makes outdoor performance wear apparel. They custom create outdoor clothing to your exact size specifications with a turn around time of five weeks. The clothes are all made here in the United States. You decide the colors, fabric and style and the company creates a garment that works perfectly for your needs. This should mean less clothing pieces doing more of what you need to be comfortable and satisfied during your outdoor adventures.
Custom made clothing for active living offers an inviting option to simplify your wardrobe by making it work more optimally for you. If any reader has purchased from Beyond Clothing, we’d love to hear about your experience with the company.
