When I laid eyes on Portland Gear’s fresh batch of hats in their scenic collection, let’s just say, obsession was an understatement. The Collection: The new Scenic Route collection takes the iconic logo to new heights. While there are shirts and sweatshirts, I really am all about the hats. Every trail runner in Oregon has their own go-to routes. The Eugene crew raves about the Ridgeline Trail system, while Salem runners swear by the routes…
There’s no magic to it – Houdini makes some quality outdoor gear. We recently received two pieces that have quickly won over my heart, each excelling in construction, fit, and functionality. Houdini Pace Flow Houdi It’s a little odd to review a hoody in the midst of the summer, but I must say I really enjoy this. While it will for sure hit its stride during the Fall and Spring months, it is light and…
Often times, our workout schedules consist somewhere along the following: Run, Pick up Kids, Run Run, Go to Work, Run Run, Date Night, Run All of these are completely viable and often necessary. But when summer comes around, Tracksmith’s versatile collection adds another to the mix: Run Cannonball Run. See our other posts on Tracksmith! Running is important and great, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that running is supposed to be fun.…
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! With summer in full swing, these two items from Cotopaxi are perfect for the dog…
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 April – June 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…
Believe it or not, but owning Run Oregon is not my actual job. My “real job”, as can be seen in a variety of our Instagram posts, has necessitated a lot travel over the years. This has lessened from 2020 til now, but that is starting to change again. Even when I am traveling for work purposes, I am always finding time to do some runsploring. Honestly, I don’t think there is a better way…
We have worked with LIVSN for a few years now. This clothing company was featured back in 2020 when we reviewed their Canvas Pants, and then again in 2021 when they expanded those pants into shorts. I still wear these with regularity and they may be some the most stylishly functional bottoms I have in my closet. Today, we are checking out their new Ecotrek Trail Shorts, an item that is a hard combination to…

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…
