If you’re a climber girl you’ve probably known the pain of finding great climbing pants. I know I have. Sometimes I’d think I’d found the perfect pair only to have them tear or lose their shape. Well, can I tell you how lucky I feel that Outdoor Research sent me the Women’s Voodoo Pants to [...]

Terramar Smart Silk Baselayer Review
Ah, layering. Such a great technique, and one that I like doing best when I have great layers all the way through.
