Smartwool Second Cut
I joined Smartwool in Boulder this fall for a hike on the Homestead and Mesa Trail Loop, there on assignment for Believe in the Run to check out the brand’s new Second Cut collection. The morning was quite warm, but that is pretty typical for Colorado in late September. The leaves are definitely starting to turn, but the grip of summer has not quite released. Smartwool had gathered a small group of runners and journalists to introduce the line and talk about what circular design looks like in practice.
Before the event, they sent over a full kit: the Second Cut Fleece Full Zip, Classic All-Season Merino Base Layer, Active Ultralite Short Sleeve, Active Run Pant, and more. I wore a few of the pieces in Boulder and tested the rest back home over the following weeks on the run—both road and trail. Not all of the items were Second Cut, but the new line was certainly the centerpiece of the event.
