Wolverine Canyon Cargo Short Review

Wolverine has a long reputation as a manufacturer of tough work wear – but now also makes quality outdoor gear. I took the Canyon Cargo Shorts on several lower-altitude training hikes near Denver to see how they performed.

Hardworking men and women have counted on Wolverine work boots for more than 100 years. Now hikers who play just as hard as they work can take a pair of Wolverines on the trail. I tested out a pair of iCS Waterproof Mid-Cut Trail Hikers on a few trails in the Denver area.

The Wolverine Finn is a mid-weight coat ruggedly made for outdoor activities. I found the coat worked best in dry to slightly damp conditions, between 40 and 65 degrees. The pockets provide ample storage room, and the zipper with the wind flap locks in warmth.

The Wolverine Klondike is an insulated flannel shirt. It provides the warmth of a jacket, with the fit of a shirt.

When heading out to remote Alaska, I need to pack light and bring multipurpose clothing. The Wolvervine Convertible Guide II shirt served me well. First, like all Wolverine products, it's "Relentless by Nature". I caught it on alder bushes, dropped it in the dirt and wore the heck out of it. Then I washed it in the river, air dried it and wore it home on the airplane!
