How does minimalism fit into your outdoor adventure wardrobe? Is it possible to have one shirt that works for every one of your adventures? In episode 103 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we aim to answer those questions. To do that, I sat down with founder and adventurist Jen Loofburrow to see how and why she created a company whose goal is to reduce the number of apparel items you buy. Jen loves long adventures outdoors, self-propelled by foot, pedal, paddle, or ski. She launched the Alaska-based outdoor apparel brand Alpine Fit to combine her passions, values, and experiences in materials development and adventuring in the backcountry of Canada and Alaska. Alpine Fit makes essential pieces of clothing for adventures of all kinds, offering fit options for body shapes and odor-resistant fabrics in base layers, bushwhacking leggings, hats, headbands, and neck gaiters made in the USA.
