Have you ever put on an article of clothing that made you feel like there was a certain place you should be? For example, if you were to put on a tuxedo, a wedding or other formal occasion would probably be near by. Put on a bike shorts and, yeah, you guessed it, you feel like you need to be on a bike (or at least out of the public eye.)
I had such an experience this past week when I tried on the new pair of pants that I received from Mountain Khakis. Instantly, I feel that I must throw on a backpack and rush for the nearest mountain, hill, pile of dirt, whatever. Their tagline is, “Built for the Mountain Life,” and I couldn’t agree more.
What really impressed me about the pants, and yes, impressed is the right word, was how they combine durability with freedom of movement. There are few things I hate more in life than clothing that slows you down. So, to past my test, these pants were put through all sorts of strange yoga positions to make sure they wouldn’t hinder me. The verdict: they passed with flying colors.
Now, just in case any of you cynics out there feel that I am only saying this because they are sponsoring me, know that you are only partly correct (I bet you thought I was going to say that you were totally wrong). I had a pair of Mountain Khakis before I even thought of Summit Up, so they were one of the first companies I contacted with hopes of working with them. So, know that I gave them a fair review, and also know that their sponsoring of Summit Up only reminded me to sing their praises.
