this is Will from Going Awesome Places and this is a product first review here
on the channel but first I want to make sure you guys subscribe to the channel
under the bottom corner of your screen make sure you get all the latest on
Going Awesome Places so we'll be coming out with a lot more videos in the
upcoming months so I'm here today to talk about a brand new product that I've
been testing for the past a little while and it's a product by a company called
Pistol Lake. Pistol Lake is probably a brand you haven't heard of but they
reached out to me and I've been I've been wearing these really really
comfortable clothing for the past couple trips and locally here what you see me
wearing here is the Eudae Minimalist Henley on the top here and down here I'm
wearing their sweat shorts in the burgundy colour so why don't we talk
first about the top here and if we talk about travel clothing what makes really
awesome travel clothing well for #1, they got to be minimalist they got to be
lightweight. #2, they got to be really easy to wash
so #3, they got to be odour resistant and moisture wicking well #4, they got
to be friggin' comfortable they got to be clothes that you're gonna want to wear a
day in and day out they're super soft just really stretchy clothing and if I
might say #5 would have to be they got to be good-looking clothes and
I'd say that Pistol Lake's shirt here and their pants check off all the boxes and
I'm not exaggerating here I've tried a lot of different clothing this has been
they quote and I will agree with them "The most comfortable shirt I've ever
worn". So what makes the Henley so comfortable? I'd say it's really all in
the fabric so the Henley is composed of three different materials as you can see
here and I've been told that they're made out of eucalyptus root and recycled
water bottles I think all those contribute to a really unique fabric
that they come out with and again it's called
EUDAE you days the fabric that they've put together and this is the entire
fabric of the shirt it's really hard to explain through video what it feels like
but when you wear it one it doesn't feel
like you're wearing much it's really thin has insulation though so in cold
temperatures this is a long sleeve it does keep me quite warm but I mean when
you're talking about the fabric it's just it's almost silk like it's it's
really soft to touch you really don't feel like it's a bulky type of fabric
I've sweated this I've gone hiking in it it's as moisture wicking as any of the
other athletic kind of clothing that I have from other brands so it really does
the job I would say in a lot of ways because it's such a soft material
because of what it's comprised of it's also incredibly light it's incredibly
easy to wash and also just quick to dry so all those components are very
important when you're looking for travel gear travel gear that you can pretty
much bring two to three of you know when you're on the road just wash as you go
and I have videos for that and then you're good to go for me I think a big
part of this and why I really like this shirt is because it looks great it's a
shirt that feels casual it doesn't give off that I'm a hiker or I'm a traveler
there's no particular branding on the fabric it's just a standard Henley so I
can wear it hiking and be comfortable that it's going to do all the things
that, you know, technical gear is gonna give me but also it's a shirt that I'll
just be able to wear on the road it's a shirt that I'll be able to go
into the city with it's a shirt that I'll be able to go to a fancy restaurant
in maybe to a nice bar. That kind of thing. I don't really have to worry.
It's multifunctional which is what I really love and also very important
part to travel clothing. So that's the Henley up here and I think it runs about $80 USD
if you go and buy directly from Pistol Lake. A really great buy and
highly recommended.
So down here you have the sweat shorts and I would say the sweat
shorts are pretty normal in terms of the fabric. The fabric isn't the Eudae
that is a big part of the Pistol Lake brand. Kind of a standard sweat short
material but it has been just as comfortable. The colour I really love I've
never really had kind of these burgundy color shorts so I've been kind of
combo-ing it with the top and the shorts here with flip-flops which has been a
great summer look for me just super casual. I think what's a
little bit different about these sweat shorts is that if you look down here
there's actually a third pocket so aside from the standard two pockets you have a
third pocket here which is great for the phone so if you take a phone like this
you can put it into the other third pocket and it has a button for it as
well so all you have to do is close the button and it's nice and secure so
somebody can't come in from behind or from the side somehow put their hand in
and steal your phone it's nice and secure so from a travel perspective
that's really nice to have it kind of has a bit of built-in anti-theft
functionality to it but overall it's been really comfortable, easy to clean,
and in my first wash it never really - the colors never really came off so you
don't really have to worry about that so anyways this is Pistol Lake it's been
really fun to and enjoyable to wear a review for the past little while I
thought this is something that my travelers and my fans are really gonna want
to know about. So I hope you've enjoyed the review.
