As a (mostly) lifelong Minnesotan, we love having all four seasons here. We’ll brave the sub-zero temperatures because we love snow for the holidays, and while spring can be wet, it allows us to shed some layers and get excited for summer, where we’ll spend most of our time on golf courses and lakes. Then comes fall, our true underrated season, where it’s almost at perfect.
And what, you may ask, does that have to do with this story? Let me explain.
The weather here is also extremely unpredictable, and this is usually the case on Memorial Day. The cold temperatures are gone, but the late July heat wave has yet to arrive. The weather usually falls somewhere in between, but it varies a lot. That’s exactly what happened this Memorial Day weekend, when a quick trip north—everyone goes “up north” here—condenses three different seasons into a three-day span. That was actually fine by me – it offered the chance to test some new gear from Vuori.
Known for their premium, stylish and comfortable performance clothing, I got my first Vuori shirt a few months ago and loved it. I work from home and like to stay active so it was a smart and seamless addition to my wardrobe. And some new items from the brand men’s golf collection I arrived right before my Memorial Day getaway, which turned out to be the perfect testing ground.
Short Aim 8″
Our go-to short is a favorite that looks great with polos, sweaters and t-shirts.
On a 50 degree Saturday morning, Target pants they were perfect for a lakeside coffee walk and fit right in at the restaurant later that night. Lightweight and stretchy, they’d be great for the golf course too, but when the weather changed from spring to summer overnight, I switched to Shorts on purpose to hit the field with the family.
The Aim Collection (both pants/shorts are 67% polyester, 25% cotton and 8% elastane) is exactly what you’d want at a golf resort. Casual and comfortable enough to be on holiday, formal enough for dinner and drinks and perfect for any golf course.
Strato Tech Hoodie
Super soft Strato Tee reinvented as a hoodie. This long-sleeve layer is moisture-wicking, ultra-soft and ready for sprints and spring training.
AND Sunday Element Half Zip — I love the Agate Green Heather option — it complemented the Aim Pants perfectly, while Strato Tech Polo — so light and comfortable I felt like I wasn’t wearing anything — it was the dressy casual look I needed for a fancier restaurant. Although my favorite item may have been the one I used for the drive home, the uber-soft Strato Tech Hoodie. I found it ideal for travel day comfort, although you can also wear it on a run or out with friends.
Like everything from Vuori, you have options. And the best part? Time. Father’s Day is fast approaching and I never know what to ask for. This year? I finally have some great ideas. You can browse more from Vuori below.
