I thought we should have been selling hockey socks for the first half of our visit with Colorado Cyclist today. Hockey talk is so familiar and even though it is boy language, it is nice to reminisce about skating on cold ice rinks and run down arenas. Chad, our buyer there is an avid hockey player with some great hockey stories to tell. Oh, and he is an avid cyclist too.
In any case, It was a good lead in to presenting are Wool line, including our current hot commodity, the UnDWool base layer. Wool is definitely catching on as a base layer in the cycling world. It might be good for hockey too?
I've been wearing my UnDWool for almost a week now with only one wash. Probably time to change it up tomorrow, but it sure makes for easy packing.
Colorado Cyclist is in the heart of Air Force Academy territory in Colorado Springs, an imposing place especially as with a backdrop of 14,000ft peaks.
A quick visit to the Title 9 shop to see how DeFeet socks were merchandised with their new Spring Collection, then it is was back on the road towards Sante Fe, NM - a nice evening to drive, but a long and very desolate road with barely another car in sight. Its in places like this that it makes it hard to believe there are 350 million people in this country.
Thank goodness for audio books!
Wool blows all other fabrics away now manufacturers are able to create ultrafine woollen fabrics. It is great we are able to use this renewable resource rather than synthetics.
