I have never purchased a piece of Patagonia gear...I think I looked at their Baggies once....but nah.
Год назад+1
I’m happy with R1 TechFace & R1 Air. Granted, these cross-over pieces take a moment to find a place in the kit. Used in Spanish mountains and Arabian deserts. [humblebrag]
The Burgeon to me is like, but perhaps slightly better to me than a Melly. I'd add Senchi to your list, which I believe is not dissilmilar to the SkyGoat. Perhaps you can do one on Alpaca products if you have not. They (to me) are more cold weather than what you have compared here (maybe Alpaca and wool ?)
I'd like to try a Burgeon but I'm 6'7" and only 175lb (like a beanpole). With my REI Sahara hoodie they have M Tall and L Tall sizes to choose from. But for sweatshirts Burgeon only has the normal SMLXL, SkyGoat doesn't have a Tall till you get to XL Tall, and Patagonia only has SMLXL. Usually I need an XL to get the sleeves long enough; but then I'm swimming in it. 😑 Edit: After contacting Burgeon I found they do have LT in almost everything *except* the Highlander hoodie 😆, but are willing to work with me on adding sleeve length to their normal sizes if need be. Looking at their sun hoodie now too.
Rudy, the owner of @burgeonoutdoors is also a tall (I’d guess 6’4”) guy. You might want to reach out to them about your dimensions and see if they have a size that would fit for you. They are really great.
@@rootsandpeaks Thanks for mentioning, I'll do that. Sorry for the rant. I spent far more time just trying to find clothing/shoes that fit than anything else. Usually it's not buying what I want it's more buying what I can find to fit and by then color is whatever is leftover. When I was 60lb heavier it was less of an issue. Except I had to carry that extra 60lb around with me. It's like putting your pack on then throwing a costco bag of dogfood on top of that; lot lighter on mah feets not having it. But now I can't find clothing anywhere. 🤣 So you live longer and go broke looking nice or you just give up and look like a clown. There's no winning.
@@rootsandpeaks Got an email back from them and they have an LT in most other things but they said the Highlander also runs small, and they can add cuffs to it to get the sleeves longer. That's pretty cool.
@@rootsandpeaks They've actually changed my mind from my previously held opinion. I changed my original comment from it's state of autistic rant to something a bit more palatable. Thanks for your help. 😉
Well, the Highlander is better with airflow. If you run hot and are looking come something to keep you warm even when you are active I would suggest the Highlander. The Pemi is a tighter weave, and it’s better if you run colder, IMO. They are both well made, but I much prefer the Highlander. I purchased and own both.
Hell yea, looking for a daily driver micro grid fleece and just scored a pullover sky goat hoody for $70
You will love it! They are great.
I am about to buy a skygoat can you help me with size? How big are you so I can make a comparison? Thanks
@@miketurenne7204 absolutely. They are great, BTW. I’m 5’11 and weigh 210ish. I wear an XL and it is a good loose fit. A large would be tight.

Thank you so much!
Really enjoying your videos! Well done 😊
Thank you!
I love the Patagonia brand but I still want to try a Burgeon.
I love all 3 brands. Can’t go wrong with Burgeon though. You will love their stuff.
Patagonia is "a piece of crap you should burn"?! I dont see any sponsorships coming your way from them😂 Love the hot take. Great video!
Who knows...They seem cool, and I don't think you should burn their stuff:) I might be the ideal sponsorship candidate.

@ I think I’m just too sweaty and fat to appreciate it.
@@rootsandpeaks No bro. Just gotta figure it out. Thank you for the vids. Top 10 was a great idea!

Great ideas! Senchi is “alpha” material, so not like the Skygoat, but it is certainly on my list. And Alpaca is another interesting textile!
The bulldozer joke gets a sub!
Haha! Thanks.

How does the highlander compare to the Pemi?
Well, the Highlander is better with airflow. If you run hot and are looking come something to keep you warm even when you are active I would suggest the Highlander.
