"For years I've been running in some Nike 3\" splits, which were ok, but not practical for going into stores, etc, so the 5\" Alta's are a perfect length. Nothing rubs, they dry super fast, and the elastic waist is flat, so as not to leave a \"Batman Belt\" pattern imbedded in your skin, ha. They're excellent for track workouts, road\/trail running, and faster\/hotter hikes with some great storage pockets for a phone and some nutrition."

"These are the first Roark pants I've tried and I'm impressed. They're both nicely taylored but roomy enough to do longer hikes. The cotton is super soft, even with ripstop, and there are so many useful pockets I'm still figuring out what to do with them all. Wish the knees were just slightly wider, but I haven't gotten any rubbing due to them being 98% cotton vs my 73% L.L.Bean pants. Highly recommend."

"Roark has really outdone themselves with this shirt; named after a great mountain range in Wyoming, Teton also means \"big boob\" up here in French Canada. While the flannel's warm enough for these northern nights the Lakota\/Sioux designs were declared to be 'Wicked Cool' by a gal down at the sushi bar. I've been practically living in it since I got it!"

"Can't get enough of these camp collar shirts, and this one's named after a Tahitian beer! The graphic depicting a mountain in Bora Bora gets a lot of attention"

"Warm & comfortable trousers. Magnetic pocket fasteners are a brilliant touch and the built-in belt's a great addition!"

"These Maori designs that Roark has commissioned are so gorgeous I have to collect them all! This beanie arrived in a timely fashion and looks exactly like the picture on the website"

"I get a lot of compliments on these, especially the embroidery, which is well done and unique to Roark! Color is also very nice, and just as pictured."
