Patagonia has really stepped up its wool line with the Merino Air. The Merino Air Hoody combines Patagonia Merino Wool with a recycled polyester Capilene to harness the powers of wicking, durability and performance. The Hoody has a noticeably Airy feel, thanks to the lofty construction, but is perfect for those chilly fall runs. Besides the immaculate construction, the Merino Air Hoody has a high collar and ninja like hoody. The seamless construction was soft, flexible and very durable. The baclava like feel of the hoody, gave our testers the impression that the this hoody would be a go to for the winter months. However, our testers would recommend another layer to block those frigid winter winds. (Don’t worry, we will have this upcoming review for you also.)

Pistol Pete Stoughton is an expatriate of Jersey. Never venturing far from the confines of the sidewalk, Pete slowly learned the joys of the trails in his post graduate years. Prior to an ACL surgery last year, Pete completed numerous ultra distances including a finish and preceding DNF at the Wasatch100. Some of Pete's greatest running accomplishments include a 5 minute mile at age 35 and PRs prior to his ACL surgery, and running with Dean Karnazas and the current record holder of the Fight for Air Climb (18,800' in 6 hours). Through these experiences, Pete has had the opportunity to work closely on product development and testing of companies such as Brooks, Patagonia, Merrell, Goretex and Hoka.
More importantly, Pete is a proud father of two beautiful children and happily married to an amazingly patient wife. In his spare time he is a teacher in Park City, UT and coaches the Park City High School Mtn Bike Team.
