Long past is the day of long underwear that you wouldn't want to be caught dead wearing without something over them. Patagonia has turned their classic long underwear into a go anywhere, do anything top for outdoor activities. I recently did a hike on the John Muir Trail, and this was practically the only shirt I wore the whole time, it was so comfortable, versatile, and great looking. If you're looking for a good, wicking, long sleeve shirt for hiking, look no further!

These shoes finished the JMT, not entirely unscathed though ...

Lafuma Elektron Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Lafuma Elektron Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 August 22, 2008

I love Lafumas line of shoes, and in particular the twin lace system. I used these shoes for a 14 day trek on the John Muir Trail earlier this summer. I would give the shoes 5 stars, but there were a few robustness issues. Foremost, after about 80 miles of hiking, one of the side straps that the twin lace is held in place by came undone, resulting in a quick 15 minute fix using a needle and some fishing line. Secondly, the mesh itself ripped when I caught the toe of my shoe on some rocks, and had to sew that up as well. So, probably not the shoe to be taking on such a hike as the JMT, but still great lightweight trail runners.

They're super comfortable, and I had no issues with sizing (other than ordering a full size larger, but mainly because your feet swell when you hike 14 days in a row.) I'm about to reorder another pair, and will get a normal size. I would consider my feet to be slightly wide.

I found the fit to be great, no issues with narrow width. Normal width feels great.
