"Growing up in Vermont, I've always felt at home outside. Moving to Manhattan three years ago, the outdoors became my source of community, adventure, and escape, no matter where I traveled. Whether with new friends, old friends, or by yourself,being outside offers something for everyone. . Since picking up the Proton AR, it has become my go-to mid layer for year-round activity. In the winter, it dumps excess heat and moisture while skinning and hiking, but insulates amazingly well when put under a shell for the ride down. This summer, it has proven equally perfect for the often-cold New England morning hikes and breezy summits when I need to dry off, but stay warm. Better yet, I'm not known for being easy on my gear and it shows almost no signs of wear." crawfordmorris .
