High Sierra Shirt: Outdoor Style made Social

Style can be a conversation starter. This is true, no matter where you are, including out on the mountain. I have met some of the best people hiking on the mountain. Making these real connections brings so much joy into my life. All you need is an ice breaker, like the High Sierra Shirt from California Cowboy, designed to bring out the extrovert in all of us.

This post was sponsored by California Cowboy but my opinions are my own.

It is so warm and has countless features that are so convenient and fun like a beer pocket (oh yes) plus a sunglasses loops, H20 resistant dry tech pocket to keep your phone in, a hidden glove loop, and a pocket for the special bottle opener that comes with the shirt. They are made in both women’s and men’s cuts and make a perfect gift to the outdoorsy person in your life (or yourself!)

When you are wearing an awesome shirt like the High Sierra shirt from California Cowboy, people are going to ask about it, especially when they see the beer pocket.

What is the Apres Ski?

The definition according to the Merriam Webster dictionary is the “social activities and entertainment following a day’s skiing.” It’s a celebration after a day out on the mountain, a gathering around the bar, a tradition. Apres Ski is about being social and making connections.

A Little Story

I wore my High Sierra Shirt to go pick up my son from preschool after hiking with my youngest. He gave me a big hug, and then handed me his water bottle and ran off to get another quick minute of playtime. Normally, this can irritate me because I have nowhere to put the bottle but this day I just popped it into the beer pocket and ran over to try and corral him outside.

Another mom noticed the bottle in the pocket and asked about the shirt. I told her how it was a pocket designed to hold beer but was perfect for a kid’s cup too. After showing her how warm it was and all the different pockets she was impressed. I explained how it was designed with Apres Ski in mind and she responded that it should be marketed as a mom shirt! I will say she is right that it is the perfect mom shirt too.

• The beer pocket held a kid’s water bottle.
• It has a zippered tech pocket for my phone prevented grabby hands from snatching it.
• That sunglass loop held my sunglasses so much better so I’m not always dropping them or getting them caught in my hair.
• Even the pocket meant to carry a bottle opener was perfect for holding my keys that I’m always misplacing!

For the summer months and warmer climates, California Cowboy makes a High Water Shirt with many of the same features, including the beer pocket, tech pocket, and sunglass loop. These shirts are terry lined which makes them more water-absorbent and comfortable to wear after a day in the ocean. The High Water Shirt is perfect for long summer days relaxing on the beach.
