Those of you who have been reading this blog for a while, know that I have a little bit of a “thing” for men’s underwear. In fact, there was a time where I was reviewing men’s underwear on a monthly (or even bi-weekly) basis for a bit. It’s been a while, but I am back with version 18 – featuring Silverlining. It sounds weird to say out loud, but I am back on an underwear…
I review a lot of items at Run Oregon. One of the perks we get is getting our hands on the best running gear. Its always nice to keep the running closet stocked with the latest and greatest items. I thought I would highlight my favorite gear from January – March 2023. These are NOT the release date of the items – solely the timeframe that my review went live. I’d also note that it’s…

We have partnered with DUER for over a half dozen years. This clothing company was featured back in 2016 as a Kickstarter of the Week and their A/C Pants remained in my closet until about a month ago when continual wear over YEARS eventually caught up to them (more specifically – the crotch). We are checking out a couple new options – the No Sweat Pants (relaxed) and Live Free Journey Short. See all our…
Finish the Race. Three simple words that can actually have a lot of different meanings. From the running perspective, this phrase can be literally taken as completing that 10k, half, or ultra. While that’s simple in nature, us runners can attest that there are often a lot of smaller races to be ran within an event. Whether that is breaking down and completing a marathon into 8 5k-ish chunks. Perhaps it includes committing to a…
It’s cold outside. And when it’s cold, we PNW runners need items that are well constructed, protect us from the weather, and are comfortable to boot. We recently received a few outerwear options from Cotopaxi and Merrell to check out. Read all our posts about Cotopaxi here! Read all our posts about Merrell here! Cotopaxi is an active volcano in Ecuador. It is also the name of an outdoor products company based in Portland. Cotopaxi…
We are big fans of Cotopaxi here at Run Oregon. We have reviewed a variety of their items – from workout gear and socks to jackets, sweaters, and packs. They continually put out really solid outdoor and running gear, all while staying true to a commitment to social impact. We can get behind that. See our other posts on Cotopaxi!
