Atlas Mountains Gear Test 1

Grabbed some pants from Patagonia yesterday, hopped on the motorcycle and rode up a bit past Bear Mountain to Mount Beacon Park. After a roughly 10 mile hike and some gorgeous views, the verdict was that the boots and socks worked great. (Only 1 small blister.) The synthetic shirt dried quickly after getting completely drenched in a downpour and the pack kept mostly dry. Only loser was the new pants that stayed wet for the remainder of the hike. Still, nice to be completely alone up here:
