Technically-driven, smart apparel has found a permanent home in my wardrobe, and comprises nearly all of my day-to-day uniform. There’s something about comfort, stretch, water resistance, breathability, packability, and tonally minimal colors that make wearing and traveling with the stuff a pleasure.

And so I wrote a multi-product review of my favorites from Western Rise’s catalog, the one brand that seemingly is now dominating my inventory. Other great contenders include Outlier, Ministry of Supply, and Bluffworks.
