Patagonia wins Outside Magazine award.

Patagonia has won Outside Magazine’s Gear of the Year award in the trail running shoe category for the second time in four years for its go-anywhere trail shoe, the Rover. “It was simply the most versatile shoe we tested this year,” says Buyer’s Guide Editor Sam Moulton. By combining the best attributes of a minimalist trail running shoe with a variable lacing system and dual zone sticky rubber sole, the Rover blurs the lines between running, climbing and hiking.
