〜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.
