HOUYHNHNM RUNNING CLUB♡ Special Edition
〜Patagonia's Special: I'm going to use Patagonia on my trek! ~ Patagonia

Patagonia has long been involved in various efforts to protect the global environment, including the use of recycled materials and the introduction of repair programs that extend the life of products. Patagonia has long been favored by people who enjoy a variety of earth-based activities as well as lifestyle activities. One such activity is trail running, a popular outdoor activity in recent years that involves running on uneven terrain such as mountain trails and forest roads. To verify the performance of Patagonia's trail running collection, we conducted a field test with members who have close ties to HOUYHNHNM RUNNING CLUB♡! From treerunning beginners to those who are fierce challengers of long races, we have experienced the latest treerunning items from each of their perspectives.

How was your first trek?

This is the first time for Mr. Miyazaki and Ms. Koyama to run a trek. What did they feel when they actually ran on the trails? And what were their impressions of Patagonia's trekking items? We asked them for their honest opinions.

Enomoto:How was your first trek? You both looked like you were having a great time.

Miyazaki:It was so much fun. Above all, the scenery was amazing!

Shibayama:The weather was great today. The course was great too.

Miyazaki:I run on the road on a regular basis, but I found that running on a flat road is not similar to running on a trail with ups and downs.

Small mountain:I enjoyed it too! I was particularly impressed with the downhill trail. I ran with my mind racing, trying to figure out where to land my feet.

Yamamoto:Yes, it seems that trekking is very smart on the way down.

Small mountain:Yes, I did. The experience of running while using my head was very fresh and I was never bored until the end. I wanted to run other mountains next time.

Shibayama:Let's go trekking again! What did you think of Patagonia's items?

Miyazaki:I have always had an image of this brand as a fashionable brand, but when I actually tried it on this trek, I was surprised at its lightness and high functionality.

Yamamoto:Trekking items are not exaggerated, they are life-saving. In other words, you can't fake it. In that respect, you can't go wrong with Patagonia's items. You can put your trust in them.

Small mountain:I especially liked the shorts. I was impressed that my phone fits nicely in the back pocket and doesn't shake while running. I think it would be useful not only for trails, but for everyday runs as well.

Shibayama:Yes, treerunning items are not limited to trails, but can be used for everyday runs as well.

Enomoto:Houdini jackets can be used not only for everyday runs, but also for street wear. I often carry a Houdini jacket in my bag when I travel or go on business trips. It is very useful when it is a little chilly or when it starts to rain lightly.

Yamamoto:Patagonia's items are highly versatile and can be used in many situations. This is not simply because they are fashionable, but because of their functionality and reliability cultivated in the field.
