Are EXPENSIVE Hoodies from Burgeon Worth Your Dollars?

[@rudyglocker2118]

Thank you for coming to visit our business! Appreciate the support and kind words! Hope to see you again soon!

[@rootsandpeaks]

Thank you for having me, Rudy! See you next time. I’m probably going to hike Washington on Saturday. Maybe I’ll swing through to say hi after.

[@Mike_Blanda]

This sounds amazing! See them make it and bring product to the location to repair or replace... THAT IS SWEEEET! Best of luck to Burgeon, sounds like an amazing company!

Stumbled across these guys by accident when i was in Lincoln. Quality is absolutely impeccable. Feels better than just about any other contemporary brand, and as good as some of patagonia's stuff from the mid 90's or Arc'teryx's stuff from the 2000's (which i still use often, despite the former being older than me). The staff are very friendly too. New favorite gear manufacturer for sure. Doesnt hurt that theyre local

@@DrCowinabox love this! They really are great.

When I was visiting family in NH in September, I stopped by their store based solely on your mention. I bought the fleece hoody and their sun hoody and have used the fleece one the most. I’m happy to be supporting a NH business and especially pleased to hear about their principles.

[@rootsandpeaks]

This is awesome! Thanks so much for supporting NH! I’m glad you like the fleece. If you find yourself back there, I also totally recommend the Flume base layer. It’s super comfortable (for me).

Recently went on an Alaskan cruise and wore my Highlander hoodie most days. Definitely versatile and warm but breathes nicely. Got the recommendation from your other video and couldn't be happier.

[@rootsandpeaks]

@@kevnotrite That’s awesome! I’m glad you are liking it. What color did you go with?

[@kevnotrite]

@@rootsandpeaks Went with the green which is different than any other hoodie color I have.

[@rootsandpeaks]

@@kevnotrite it’s a nice green! I’ve yet to pick that one up. I really like the orange and the light gray that I have as well.

[@GregoryDLammers]

Your first video (the "I hate mellies" video) on Burgeon clued me in on the company, and I've been waiting for budget to allow for months now...finally ordered my wife and I highlander hoodies this week. They arrived TODAY and I just got back from a 1-miler with the kids...they're AWESOME. I'm all in for Burgeon>Mellie. Thanks for spotlighting these local brands that we don't always find ourselves!

[@rootsandpeaks]

I love this!!! What colors did you get?

[@GregoryDLammers]

@@rootsandpeaksGrey men’s highlander and Black women’s full zip. They’re awesome.

[@rootsandpeaks]

@@GregoryDLammers good choices! Classy. I hope you enjoy them for a long time.

[@northwestwalking]

This was a really neat look behind the curtain. Thanks for sharing!

[@rootsandpeaks]

I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching, and the comment!

[@Colby168]

The full zip is my next purchase! I hope it breathes well in the cool Arizona desert!

[@rootsandpeaks]

That’s what I’m wearing in the beginning of the video. It’s great. I actually prefer the hoodie without a zip, but there is no denying the convenience of the zip!

[@Colby168]

@@rootsandpeaks I prefer the zip to dump heat if needed. Seems like whenever I try a pullover I hit the edge of being hot and wish I could unzip.

[@rootsandpeaks]

@@Colby168 me too, although I never feel hot in my Highlander. It breathes really well. With that said, the zip is awesome too, and probably a safer bet. I hope you enjoy it!

[@Tbak2000]

I love mine after watching one of your older videos, but I do think the sleeves could be longer on the one i own as my only critique. otherwise it's perfect

[@rootsandpeaks]

On the Highlander? I’m sorry to hear it wasn’t the right proportions for you! I wonder if Rudy has a way to make the arms longer upon request. - It fits well for me, but I do wish they had thumbloops with longer arms. - I layer a Flume, with thumbloops under it, and that’s a really good combination.

[@peterfagley772]

Interesting, will stop by their shop, thanks Ken!

[@rootsandpeaks]

They are awesome, Peter. Let me know what you think after you drop by. If you want to see them working, go early in the morning. I think they officially open at 10, but you’ll have to check on the site, or call them to make sure.

[@munton5150]

I love mine!

[@rootsandpeaks]

I love yours too.
